How can I get video footage downloaded on computer to play on a DVD player?

Hello all

I'm liking my canon md101.. it's a video tape camera that I had to download to the computer, and now:

My question is one that would apply to anyone and not specifically for my canonmd101.

Please can I get some help with getting the footage that I have already downloaded to the computer to go on a dvd so I can play it on the dvd player?

Re: How can I get video footage downloaded on computer to play on a DVD player?

Or if you are running Windows Vista or 7 then you can use the bundled Windows DVD Maker program to author the video files and burn to disc - it is very easy to use.
Otherwise any DVD authoring software will do what you want. If you have a copy of Nero or similar then that should do it. Just use the 'create video DVD' or whatever option along those line the program has.

Re: How can I get video footage downloaded on computer to play on a DVD player?

Thanks guys.

Yes I do have Vista,what is the bundled dvd maker program you talk of, is it movies maker?

I also have Nero, maybe I selcted the wrong one to make it only work on the computer and not on the dvd player?

The other thing is, I have 4 10 minute footages that I want to put on the DVD, and would like to watch without having to forward to lets say the third footage, just would like to selct whichever footage scene with the remote control rather, any help is most appreciated.

No, Movie Maker is the video editing program and that has no DVD authoring built in. DVD Maker is a separate program that is a dedicated DVD authoring program to make DVD video discs that will play in a standard DVD player. You should be able to find it on the Start menu under All Programs.

To create a DVD that will play in a DVD player you need to select the DVD-Video option

In any DVD authoring program you can just add the 4 video files and then when you go through the options you will be asked if you want a DVD Menu. If you do then the 4 files will be added to the menu and can therefore be played directly by selecting them.

How do you mean?

Nero . DVD flick does not need Nero ( Did you try it?)

If you want to burn with Nero. when you chose DVD video, you import the Video TS folder created earlier contents into the video TS that Neo presents to you

You cannot ordinarily use the DV AVI file in Nero unless you Use Nero Vision to arthor a DVD video

Re: How can I get video footage downloaded on computer to play on a DVD player?

Hi there,

Shall I go ahead and download the dvd flick to do this, will it take my footage in the format it is in? That is the problem with Nero, it wants me to have it some other kind of file, so I guess that would mean I could not just use the wmv or avi file to add into the TS folder in the first place or am I missing something obvious. How about the Nero Vision you mention, is that free software to convert the files?
I was thinking of buying an adaptec videoh media centre to sort all these problems out, appreciate your help.

With thanks

Flick will accept more variant formats than Nero you should be able to just drop whatever you have in ,As for nero and the TS file it only wants the
.Vob files that are in the Ts folder

To create a video DVD that will play on any DVD player using Nero:

Open Nero StartSmart
Select DVD as the disc type from the drop down menu at the top
Move the mouse over the photo & film icon
Select 'Make Your Own DVD-Video'

The above will then open Nero Vision and the program should take you through all the steps needed to create the DVD with menu to select the desired clip. It will convert the video to MPEG-2 and do everything that is required to burn the DVD.

Mark.

Re: How can I get video footage downloaded on computer to play on a DVD player?

Thanks all.

I think i'm on track with DVD flick, but it's late now, and the encoding part requires me to wait the amount of minutes I have created on DVD and then burn the converted TS file with Nero, so will give it a shot tommorow.

It would be much easier just to convert the file in an instant, surely that's possible, perhaps that's what is suggested with the Nero vision, but I don't see that software with my Nero, please let me know if it's possible so I don't need to be spending too much time with DVD flick, although I will appreciate the Flick when I see it works tommorow.

DVD Flick didn't work, a pop up came up in the encoding process and it said there was an error in the ecoding, there was a bunch of info data in the pop up box which didn't mean anything to me, and there were no other instructions, it just failed. Please help me to get this done.

No I don't have it, my files that I upload from the camcorder turn up as wmv and not avi so i'm unsure if that will work?
