Turning video from digital to dvd format

[captainweeble]

Hello, I am very new to all this. I am trying to get info on how I can watch my movies from my digital camcorder on my dvd player on my tv. Every time I burn the movie to a disk the dvd player says no disk. Also I purchased a concert disk on ebay, any idea how to convert it to watch on my home dvd player.

Hi!Every time I burn the movie to a disk the dvd player says no disk.You have to first convert your video to compliant DVD format and then "author" the DVD. If your camcorder video is in .AVI format (If MPEG format, just substitute "MPEG" for .AVI in the following), one set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:

1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the .AVI
(DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this

2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" v.1.6 (a different program than
"TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)
You can obtain a FULLY functional free 30 day trial version of this commercial program at:

**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress

If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode (As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use
"DVDLab")
