Mac Guy Needs Windows Help Editing Clips, Authoring DVD

[dizzie]

Hey, Guys,

Sorry that I don't have time to do a lot of research, but I figured you all would be willing to give me some basic advice.

I'm a Mac guy, but I have a friend on Windows that needs a hand. He wants to take some recorded high school football footage that originated from a digital video camera, choose several small clips, and burn them all to a very simple DVD using free software. I unfortunately don't know what format the clips are in. They are in raw video files that have been saved on a DVD-R. I may just end up doing it for him, I don't know.

If I were doing it, I'd use MPEG streamclip to get the short segments that I wanted, and then I'd use Burn OSX to simultaneously convert, author, image, and burn to DVD.

I know that I can suggest MPEG Streamclip for Windows to him. Is there something like Burn for Windows (I'm sure there is). Or, is there something better he can use that would be a single piece of software? Remember, it must be free.

Thanks for any advice!

Diz

AVStoDVD or DVD Flick to author a DVD with simple menus, plus ImgBurn for burning.

[Edit] I don't know of any single free Windows program, that can edit, convert, author, and burn. The Windows version of MPEG Streamclip is fine for editing, if the video files are compatible with it, although it can't convert from something else to MPEG2. AVStoDVD and DVD Flick can handle conversion from most other kinds of video to MPEG2
