Newbie here... DVD questions

[Tired1]

Hello All -

I am currently using Adobe Premiere to make my videos for VHS tapes. I want to provide my clients with DVDs of the same content.

What do I need to make these DVDs?

What model of writer do you suggest?

The DVDs dont need to be interactive at all, just to play in home and auto dvd players.

I noticed that the blank media for these DVD writers are kind of expensive, does any of these DVD writers write to regular blank CDs?


Any help is appreciated.

most dvd burner come with mydvd or some such dvd authoring software.

most of them can but most dvd player don't accept minidvds(dvd's burned on cdr (by the way you can only put about 20mins worth on a cdr)) you might consider vcd instead if you don't want to fork the money for the media(if you don't know what vcds are, check out the what is section of the site)

hope that helps
