VIDEO transfer and DVD burning. . need some advice please

[voodoochili]

Hi all,

well, I got the minidv to transfer the file to the HDD, it comes in avi format. but i'm trying to figure out what format and program I need to use to convert it to something that the dvd burner will work with to make a playable dvd disk in a home player. any suggestions are appreciated. thanks

You'll need to convert the AVI>MPEG2, and then author that to dvd. I use Video Factory (now discontinued precurser to Vegas Video) and TMPGEnc dvd author.
http://www.doom9.org/ and http://www.videohelp.com/ are good resources, with indepth tutorials.

If you wish to edit the video, and add fancy titles and transitions, I recommend Pinnacle Studio.

I would prefer to use Adobe Premiere. But it takes a lot of time to perfection

If you don't want to get fancy and want something simple try Pinnacle Instant VideoAlbum.
