Any suggestions about the easiest way to capture and burn to dvd movies made on a digital video cam?
I have 15 digital tapes made on a Canon digital video cam by my wife and need to capture and burn to DVD. I'm hooking the video cam to the pc with a firewire. AOK
My first try: I captured a 30 minute tape with MS Movie Maker and a compact 200MB mwv movie file. What to do with this? I dunno.
Then I installed Pinnacle 8.3 and for a 60 minute tape got a 13GB avi file. What to do with this?
Then I installed ULead Movie Factory 3.0 and got a 3.5GB mpg file of the same 60 minute tape which the same program offered to burn to my Plextor DVD burner.
Things look good with this latter solution. Obviously there are some tradeoffs regarding quality and how much data one can put on a dvd, perhaps some major compression issues.
What suggestions do you have? This is a one time project. And I won't be doing it on a regular basis.
