I recently got a miniDV camcorder, have been recording random stuff over Christmas and New Year and wanted to send my cousin in America some video of all the family.
Would take quite some time to upload/download all the video's so I was thinking it would be good to put them on a DVD and let her play them in her DVD player.
I know she could play them in her PC using something like windows media player but watching them on tv through the DVD player seems a better way to watch them.
So far I have a few .avi videos and a .wmv video file.
Anyone know how to convert these to files suitable for a bog standard DVD player to play?
How tricky is it?
Would it be possible to put them all on one disk?
Thanks if you can help out

I don't know if this would apply, but remember to record in NTSC as she lives in America.

Thats right yeah, just go to file > mpeg tools > merge and cut. Once joined, author and burn.

You can just stick the files as you have them on to DVD-ROM to be played in another PC.
To play in a DVD player as a normal DVD, though, they will need converting to MPEG2 format, and will need VOB files created, etc.

Thanks for the replies.
Didn't realise that TMPGEnc did .avi files. Pretty sure I have that on my old PC so I'll try setting it up and give it a go.
Am I right in guessing that once I've converted it to .mpg I can put multiple mpg files on the one DVD?

Didn't realise that TMPGEnc did .avi files. Pretty sure I have that on my old PC so I'll try setting it up and give it a go.

You can do the .avi's pretty easily with TMPGEnc to encode to .mpg and then author them, dont know about the .wmv though.

Nero OEM Suite 3 will do the trick. Plus, of course, a DVD recorder such as the Pioneer DVR-108 - [URL]http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/acatalog/Hardware_Section__.html[/URL]
Once you get to know the software, creating your own DVDs is pretty easy.
