I need to burn to a dvd, what software do I need to do this? I am
new to this and am not sure if my computer has a dvd burner, do I
need one of those?
================================
Lots of info...keep scrolling.....
To play a movie on a DVD player...you
need software that can create a VCD...
(this assumes you do not have a DVD
burner...then you might create a DVD)
First you would save your Movie Maker
project to a folder on your hard drive as
a movie...
To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next / Next.
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
To save as an .avi movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
Next...you need to import the completed
..wmv or .avi movie file into a software
program that will create a VCD. Most
DVD players will play a VCD...check
the manual for your DVD player for
compatibility. A VCD is a Video Disk
created on a CD instead of a DVD.
I've had success with a program called
'InterVideo WinDVD Creator'...there are
many others...'NeroVision Express'...is
another example. The main thing is the
program must be able to create a VCD
or DVD from a .wmv or .avi video file.
If you plan to create a DVD...Yes,
you must have a DVD burner. Look
at the front of the tray on your burner...
if it is a DVD burner it should say
something like DVD R/RW and/or
DVD Rewritable.
And...of course you will need blank
DVDs . FWIW...I've had success
using the following blanks:
Verbatim DVD-R 16X

Some systems have a combo drive
that till Write (burn) CDs but will only
Read DVDs.
