How to transfer home video onto CD

[ricky]

I'm relatively new here so please excuse me if what I'm asking sounds basic. I want to transfer home videos taken on my Sony Handicam (digital) to CD for later playing on my DVD player which accepts CDs of all kinds. Is there a user-guide or an earlier post on this topic? Thanks muchly.

Thanks for that. Much appreciated. I'll have a go at it. One other thing, do you know if there's some user guides/instructions as to how to do the following:

1) create karaoke CD's by eliminating vocals from audio CDs
2) how to record onto hard disk from multiple sources (instrumental CD being played on PC's CD-Rom, and vocals using a microphone into PC's line-in or mic input) for later copying onto CD using a CD-writer.


Thanks once again.

I bought a program called Audio Cleaning Lab to burn LP's onto CD's. It has lots of filters to clean up sound and one of them is a Karaoke filter. I experimented with it one day and I was impressed with how well it removed vocals from the songs I tried. I haven't really done much with karaoke so can't give you a definitive judgement.

You can download a demo at their site:

I think you can use it to sing to the music too but you'll have to check it out. For that matter you can probably just use the sound mixer in windows to do that.

Magix might have a karaoke product too. Look around the site

Thanks champ. I'll visit their site and take it from there.

Cheers.
