hello everyone, my name is alex and i am very new to this kinda stuff. today is my birthday (25) and i just got a pioneer A04 dvd burner. before i install does anyone have any tips?
here are my cpu specs:
xp pro
athlon 2200
1 gig ddr ram
2 80 gig hard drives
matrox g450 video card
video capture: sony trv27 camcorder via firewire and dazzle hollywood dvbridge

i guess that's about it.

what should i do first?
what's the best way to get my mini dv footage to dvd?
(with and without menus)
