[chattycatty]

Hi I am trying to burn material from a sony handy cam to a dvd that will play on your Domestic DVD player.

I have used windows media player, yes it burns the DVD all rite but it wont play on my Domestic DVD only on my lap top.

I am doing a project and it has to play on my domestic DVD.

After this failure i want to an 'expert ' who sold me DAzzle DVD recorder after much playing around with it i realised this was for recording tapes to DVD.

Help im pulling my hair out I am a newbie. I will take any suggestions of software that can bew bought or down loaded . Just want something simple and quick .

Thanks

If it is a MiniDV Handycam, then follow these steps:

a. Capture the video to computer via firewire (FREE Software: WinDV)
b. Encode the captured video to MPEG-2 DVD format (FREE Software: FAVC)
c. Author the DVD from the MPEG-2 Video & Audio (FREE Software: GUI for DVD Author)
c. Burn the authored DVD to disc (FREE Software: ImgBurn)

Search this site extensively for guides on how to use those above software tools.

I am not sure how Windows Meda Player helped you for this purpose. Video on a DVD Disc must be compatible with DVD-Video Specification in order to be playable on a domestic DVD Player. Computers can play all formats.
