I just got a digital video camrecorder - Canon ZR85. I recorded my son's
t-ball game and I want to burn it onto a cd. I dont know how to transfer the
video appx. 40 mins. from my camrecorder to my computer to burn to a cd. (I
have cd burner not dvd burner). Help, I'm lost
 
If you really want to save the high quality of the video, I recommend the
following:

1) buy a firewire card and cable, they are cheap about $35 and install in pc
2)capture your video from camcorder through firewire using movie maker at
the DV-AVI setting (highest quality)
3)make any edits to the video that you want and save movie as a DV-AVI file.
4)buy a DVD burner, the prices have really plumetted, look for one that has
good burning software like Sonic MyDVD, etc
5)Import your saved DV-AVI file and burn your DVD.

DV-AVI files take up lots of space so make sure you have enough hard drive
space. Since you bought the camcorder, another $100 is well worth getting the
high quality video to DVD. I personally use it strictly for my daughters, 2yr
and 6mos.

Good luck,
Steve
