Making a DVD of a VHS tape question.

[tttman]

OK, I accomplished getting my movie onto my computer (iBook G4) via USBVision Capture. No I want to put it onto a DVD which is playable on my DVD player. I am able to export the movie into the following formats: 3G, avi, bmp, dv stream, flc, hinted movie, image sequence, quicktime movie, quicktime media link and mpeg-4.

Using the above-mentioned, how do I burn a DVD with my movie that is playable on my DVD player?

I do have Toast 6, iMovie, DVDzoneX.
Make it simple please...thanks

what i do is use dv format and ffmpegX to convert to dvd format it will not only convert but compress and be ready to burn using toast 6 titanium. you will end up with a mpg.dvd folder with audio_ts and video_ts files... toast help will tell you how to burn the dvd from there hope this helps...

Into what format did this device capture the video? It may be as simple as opening a new Toast Video project, dragging your file there and hitting Make Disc Image (to get the encoding going and disc authored without having to burn a disc to test it).

USBVision is a 352X240 30fps format that is a compressed QuickTime file. EchoFX sells it to work with the old xlr8 Interview capture device and other USB video capture units. A "USBVision.component" is placed in the Libraries>QuickTime folder so that QuickTime can play the movies. The software includes an exporter that converts a USBVision file similarly to choosing Export from QuickTime Pro.

Because Toast uses the QuickTime codecs, there is a fair chance that dragging the USBVision file directly to the Toast Video tab could work without any export. Certainly worth a try.
