Thanks John. I had found the info on a demo from a link in another posting
which was great.

So now am I right in saying that all I have to do now is use Nero to burn
the video to dvd for viewing on a home dvd player?

If you have NeroVision...yes.

Be aware...some free standing DVD
players will not play a home made DVD.

John, the process of saving as a dv-avi file has now been completed but the
file size is 10.9 GB which would not fit on a dvd -r disk....any
suggestions??? after finally getting all this way and the file size is too
big!
 
Keep going... the file doesn't go on the DVD directly... it gets converted
to MPEG-2 for the burning.... and the more highly compressed MPEG-2 file
will fit on the disc.

Don't go by file size, go by overall duration... less than an hour should
fit fine on a DVD.
 
Excellent. thanks for your help. This discussion group is very good and
prompt...not like other ones. Also the MM program I have found to be very
easy to use
