I am trying to get these old home movies on vhs converted to dvd video movies we can watch on a dvd player. I had this old program-MGI video wave--that I'm trying to use. I don't know what else is out there. I was able to get the movies saved on video wave. I just don't know where to go from there???I produced one clip as an avi file-then opened it up in windows movie maker cause I thought that would be easier to work with. I am having no luck. when I save the movie maker movie to a cd, my dvd player does not read it. Can someone help??
Since I don't know what format the files are being saved as, you might want to try this software. It can convert a number of file types to DVD. FAVC http://www.videohelp.com/tools/FAVC
Will I have to buy any adapters? The only program i'm familiar with is this videowave. I'm saving the movie clips as avi files. Don't know where to go from there. ???
Load the file (or multiple files) to be converted. Bear in mind that if you load files that are over 3~4 hours, quality suffers. Select a destination folder for the working files. Select a DVD format (NTSC North America, PAL rest of World) Leave the menu item at 'no' for now. Check that 'ImgBurn' will be used. Put a blank DVD in the burner. and generate the DVD. After a short delay a message pops up saying that you can exit the program (If you look at the bottom of the screen on the taskbar, you will see that some programs are running) After the AVI is converted (it might take a while if it's a long movie), the ImgBurn screen will pop up and should start burning the disk. The other tabs you can figure out later, 'DVD options' lets you select a menu layout for the disk.Each file you load up is assigned a menu item. You can also add subtitles to your creation.
