    I am a newby to digital recording. I have a firewire, and dvd recorder on my pc. I also have Roxio Basic 7 that I am trying to use.. I am having a REALLY hard time understanding how this works!!! I figured out how to capture the video onto my hard drive, but I can't figure out how to get my videos onto a DVD. Is there an easier program out there?? Something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! I'm really not interested in a lot of editing. I just want to copy my dv's to a dvd. Is Roxio really that hard to work with???? Maybe I'm having trouble because I don't have a printed instruction book?? I'm very illiterate in this area!! Please help!!

    Thank you!!

    After you have the DV AVI files transfered to your PC you Must Encode the DV AVI files to Mpeg-2/DVD Format and then you have to use a DVD authoring Program to add your Menu"s and Chapters and to author them to DVD.....

    You can also just use a Simple "All In One" Sort of Program Like "ConvertXtoDVD" or even easier is "VSO DivXToDVD" (Freeware Version) but these Methods don"t allow the Controll or quality of the other method but it is a Lot easier....

    Cheers

    PS: You might also want to look in the "Guides" section....
