I have a Dig. Sony Hi8 Camcorder and have been coping files to my computer to burn to a dvd so I can send to friends and family....but I can not get it to work. It seems like it will burn and play in windows media player but thats it. It can not be recognized as a dvd. It will not player on any dvd player. I have a new DVD Player that is suppost to read it. So here is what I have. -Record Now -Video Explosion Deluxe 1.5 -DVD Decrypter -DVD Shrink Blank DVD's -DVD-R -DVD+R -DVD+RW I never see where it says to burn a DVD, just music or Data... Do I have all I need to make a proper DVD? Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or what I am missing.
What format are your videos in? .AVI .MPEG? If you use Nero Vision Express it will convert the files to a compliant DVD Format or you can use a little program called WinAVI Converter
If I use Sonic Record Now Ver. 7 then it open's in a AVI. I have nero, but need a serial # and it cost $70.00. So I have to wait and save money if I must use that.....What should the file type be?
OK, when I use the WinAVI V. Converter it tells me I have a error " detects your system missing compatible MPEG/DVD codec, we recommend you install it or WINAVI maybe can not convert." and it ask me if I want to burn a DVD, VCD, SVCD. If I pick DVD, no files come up...but they do come up under SVCD...
You have to have a software DVD playing program on your computer like WinDVD or Power DVD. You can get Nero here for $24.95. Best program available well worth the price http://www.ibackups.net/index.php?main=products&sub=showcateg&id=8
you can also get a OEM version of Nero 6 here for $5.00 and $3.00 shipping i think it was... http://shop.store.yahoo.com/5dollarsoftware/neexburom.html the nero deal below is a good deal for $24.95 but it's a download only, you can get it on disk for a extra $20.00 i think http://www.ibackups.net/index.php?main=products&sub=showcateg&id=8
Major problem with OEM version of Nero is that it has DVD burning functions disabled including Recode and Showtime.
