I've had a lot of fun over the past couple of years shooting videos of my railroad & putting them up on "YouTube"; in fact, I've had sufficient interest that I'd like to make them available on DVD. My computer came with a DVD burner but originally NOT the software necessary to burn DVD's (I was able to burn music CD's withour any problems). - What the computer came with was a "trial" version of the software which was DVD READ-only (the software vendor wanted a $70 upgrade /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/angry.gif to burn DVD's).
A while back they had a "sale" & reduced the upgrade price to $25
- which I considered somewhat more acceptable & went for.
Problem is, I STILL CAN'T burn my Window's Movie Maker files (saved in the native DV-AVI format of the camcorder) to DVD /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/crazy.gif - what the burner wants to see are files in something called a ".VOB" format.
Wondering if anyone has a suggested work-around for this? The computer uses an Athlon 64-bit (dual core) CPU, & came with Windows XP Pro (64-bit edtion) pre-installed. I just checked Microsoft's website, notice they offer a Windows DVD maker for VISTA, which I am NOT
about to upgrade to, after all the "horror" /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/ermm.gif stories I've heard from others. The other factor driving this is I have a family wedding to videotape this coming weekend, & they may want the finshed video in DVD (I'm not even sure if they own a VHS /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/sick.gif deck - which I could dub to easily!). /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/blush.gif
