Transferring video to DVD: Does anyone know how to transfer video to DVD, the software with this camera only uses CD's.

The format the camera uses for video is different than that used on DVDs (ones playable in a DVD player), so conversion is necessary. GREAT Freeware (NOT trial, totaly free forever!) is DVDStyler. Allows creation of DVDs with custom menus from many different video file formats - search "DVDStyler" online.

When you save save to a disc do you mean burn the camera's .AVI (MPEG4 format) files to a CD or DVD? Or do you mean actually creating a DVD that will play in a standard DVD player? The former is easy, just use your CD/DVD burning software. The latter would require you have DVD authoring software that could convert the MPEG4 video to MPEG2 format video. Not incredibly difficult but it does require some knowledge of the authoring software.

They are right. Download to computer and burn disc , I 'm not real computer literate as I have a problem viewing the disc on my tv. Which I blame on not knowing how to the right software to burn a DVD. But anyway, I wanted to add that you could also email the video as an attachment to your prof,

This you use to digitize the video and you can use a DVD burning software to record multiple movies to one DVD. I think digitizing it is more helpful then put it directly to DVD. I never used the feature of putting it directly on DVD yet because I wanted to pick and chose what I wanted. Also if you want more than one movie on a DVD get larger capacity DVDs.

Is video editing is possible with Adobe tools like Premiere (etc) prior to transfer to DVD? Even my primitive Canon G2 transfers movie clips to DVD but it does not allow editing. "Quality" benefits from clean-up prior to DVD burning. Editing is straightforward with my camcorder's format but I wonder if it's possible on the Canon S5. Anyone know?

I would like to ask the same question as "nature enthusiast" that is - I want to do is transfer VHS tapes to DVDs. Consumer Reports said this model "allows you to copy with a simple push of the record button." True. The answers already received are all conflicting, half say yes half say no. Please answer this ? only if you actually know for certain, Thank you !

I've only copied DVD to DVD or CD to CD with it. I've never tried DVD to CD or CD to DVD, so I am unsure...but my guess is that it will not.

First I would need to know what kind of Camera you have, But with most camera'a you would have to transfer your footage from your camera to your PC and use a program that allows you to burn it to a DVD.

If you have the proper cables (sold separately). This is the software only to capture the video to your pc and burn it to DVD (DVD Burner also required!)

I know this is a really old post, but this might help someone else...Just started converting old videos to dvd and had a problem with this. Figured it out though...when in dvd mode press the input select button at the top of the remote. It will go to L2 and now you can follow the directions from the manual. - Press VCR, play until you get to the point you want to record and hit pause- Press DVD- Press Dubbing

Yes. But make sure the video output connector of your camera is the old standard type Rca. For long recording purposes I would suggest to use systems based on hard disks or solid state (flash) memory and then copy to Dvd only what you want

I don't know if you'll ever see this reply but it's worth getting the word out anyway. I recently purchased the new Small Wonder combo kit from TigerDirect.com. RCA has put out this DVD burner/Small Wonder camera combo package that is PERFECT for what you are asking about. The camera docks right onto the DVD burner, which connects to a t.v., and the videos will transfer directly into the DVD burner! It's so cool and easy. Plus, the DVD burner acts a stand-alone DVD player AND it will take inputs from other transmission sources (video camera, t.v. tuner, etc). This is a great product and a great value!

I really do not know. I would think it possible if you have the ability to connect your camera to the fire wire port on the dvd player. Most mini usb cables from camera end in a standard usb male connector, so does the provided fire wire connector to the dvd player. You would need a double female connector to hook the two together. If you have multiple usb 2.0 ports on your computer I would think that you could direct the storage straight to the dvd player but have not tried to do so myself. I transfer media directly from the micro sd cards to dvd.

I forgot to mention that you can't rip dvd's with Nero (from my understanding at least), although you can use other DVD "backup" programs like DVDFab, AnyDVD, or some other alternate program.

The duplicator cannot convert video cassette format to dvd. If the conversion has already been made and you have the disc on hand then it can be copied by the duplicator. Thanks Copystars support team

I am not sure, until now I just transfer LP to CD never to DVD but this machine is old, I am sure there are new ones with that capability, also each transfer takes a lot of time, (6 to 8 hours for each LP) Hope my answer helped you
