I have a video camera with a firewire connection to my firewire card on my PC.

The dvd burner I have came with software to rip the video from the camera. However this CD was damaged beyond repair.

What good software can I buy or download that can rip the video from my camera and allow me to burn it to dvd.

Thanks bye. :_)
 
If you have Windows XP you can use Windows Movie Maker. Its fairly decent and easy to use. And free. Its part of SP2, if you already have that installed. If not, you can download it from MS.

Moviemaker does not go to DVD though.

The simpliest solution is one of the suites like Pinnacle Studio 9. There are about 8 packages that are under $60 that include capture, edit, add effects, burn to DVD. Studio allows you to master the DVD menu in the timeline, which makes it kind of intuitive. I think there is a downloadable demo.

There are lots of combinations of solutions too. You could use Movie Maker, create a DV-AVI file, then get MediaChance DVD-Lab with the Pegasys TMPGenc encoder and AC3 plug-in to do some great stuff, but that is over $130. There are other, cheap DVD authoring packages, but only expect to get 1 hour of footage per single layer DVD without sacrificing quality.
 
Since you don't have rigs listed gigapet, think about getting another HDD soon too. 1 hour of video = 13GB. Add about 10GB of 'work files' to create a DVD. So, roughly 25GB to do a DVD from a single tape. YMMV.
