Although burning a DVD sounds like an old fashion thing, there are many people still fascinated with it. Making your favorite movies into physical disc is a better way to keep a collection since they cannot be damaged by virus or server crash.
Burning music to CD seems lot more common. You can directly burn the music you purchased from iTunes to CD because there's no DRM on them. How about movies or TV shows you purchase or rent from iTunes?
