Video Production - Cleveland, OH:
Many still cameras now offer a Video Mode. Getting your videos to a DVD can however be challenging. I would first check with your Camera’s Manufacture to see about any free software that would offer a solution. Barring that option, here is what and how to transfer video files to DVD. Your camera may have a USB port and a cable to directly transfer the video files to your computer. Barring that option, your computer may have a card reader if not, you will need to purchase one. The card reader must list your type of card. All card readers are not the same! For example, if you have a SDHC card from your camera, your card reader may only read the SD cards. You will need to upgrade your card reader. Transfer your video files to a folder on your second drive or the C: drive in your computer. I find this a more reliable way to work with the files opposed to working of the card or digital camera. Your computer will also have to be fast enough and have enough memory to play your video. How fast does your computer have to be to play video? As a rule about 2.2 GHz and have about 2 GB of RAM. This can very as to how choked up your computer is. The more speed and memory the better! A second Hard Drive would be beneficial to store and play your videos. This may solve some of the stop and go type of video play back. Once you have the files in your computer open up your favorite DVD Authoring Program, import your video files from the folder you copied them to and follow program instructions. If your DVD Authoring Program doesn’t recognize the video files you will need to get a video file converter program. Look for a high rated program that lists your file type, mp4, .mov, .avi, what ever. Have fun:)
