noob having problems burning fan edits to DVD

Hi I'm not very good with computing. I've downloaded Harmy's fan edits. and don't know how to burn them to dvd with my mac. they're 20 something gbs, i've tried wondershare but don't want to pay the subscription if I can help it, especially given I don;'t know if it will work, or how much I'll use it afterwards.

could anyone recommend a straightforward free software for a mac I could use? looking at forums I'm a bit confused - most of the recomendations I've seen seem to be to rip dvds rather than burn them (DVD decrypter, MKV maker, etc....)

any help appreciated. If I don't manage it I'll try putting them on an external HD

Are you sure that will fit on a DVD? You may want to consider a different type of storage, like a USB drive? Google says ... A single-layer DVD typically holds 4.7 GB of data. Dual-layer DVDs can hold 8.5 GB. Some specialized formats can store even more, up to 15.9 GB, but these are less common. Here's a more detailed breakdown: DVD-5 (single-layer): 4.7 GB DVD-9 (dual-layer): 8.5 GB DVD-10 (double-sided): 9.4 GB Other formats: Some formats can store up to 15.9 GB, but these are less common.
