I don't know of any 1 click software that will make dvd's. I do know that Canon sells a dvd recording device for this camera where you can connect the camera directly to it and burn a dvd. Personally my choice is Premiere Elements 7. Grab the scenes, add them to the timeline, choose a menu system, go the share tab, choose dvd, put a blank in the burner and wait an hour.

Do you need to use sdcopy to get it onto your computer? If I used the imagemixer software to get it on my computer, how can I convert it to another file type? I have such simple requirements - my in laws want a copy of a video that I took. I don't want to have to install my image mixer software just so that they can watch it. It just doesn't make sense. I need more instruction. Can someone spell it out with little baby steps?

No, have never had any problems burning DVD's. I've burned quite a few DVD's using these DVD's and have yet had a problem.The DVD's are warantedbe you shouls try to warrant them if you feel you are having a problem.Also, you might try another brand to see if the problem is your DVD copier.

So if I wanted to record a program that's longer than 2 hours (DVD length) I could record directly to the DVD at, say, Long Play mode? Or I could record to HDD at LP mode so I could burn a DVD later? It does make sense to burn at the recorded speed; thanks for the hint! Thanks for the help!

I never Checked the Audio until right now when you wrote asking about the Audio I have done hundreds of Movies with this Progam. I don't burn any DVDs with this program if thats what your talking about on the audio I just Convert the files to what I call VOB files ready to be burnt to DVD at a Later Time then I use Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate to Make Movies into HD Format but if I want to burn a DVD I still won't use there program I use Lg DVD Copy Pro to burn DVDs and mine comes out just fine. This is a great program I have to admit to make a File for a DVD to be Burnt to Disc because I have tried other Programs I know this is the best Lg makes 1 click DVD copy and DvD Copy Pro then I burn the DVD from the File I know that the file this Program makes is right as far as sound and Video goes. Maybe it doesn't burn a DVD with sound but I never tried and I never wanted the program to ever do that for me when I went looking for a program like this because like I said I already Use a great program to Burn DVDs and that is LG DVD Copy Pro and this program makes the file right to be burned but I don't use that feature only the file making part. I know to go out to spend another 80 bucks on a great program that only Burns Dvds kinda sucks unless you already had it like I do it's Called LG Software Innovations 1 click Dvd Copy Pro it's the best burning program you can get I only use HP DVD-R Disks I buy off Amazon but after you have that setup of programs you have got everything you need for life.

First, I do not think that the VOB files of a DVD format will play from a USB drivethru a DVD player. But I do use software to convert some DVD VOB formatsto AVI files that will play from a flash drive thru a DVD player.Does that make sense???

That's a software issue. As long as you have the software to utilize either the dvd files or an iso, you can burn it to dvd

I stopped in at Ritz Camera today, I took my Flip to italy and have 45 mins I want to put on a DVD. I have next-to-none "technical" skills about burning my own, and I am okay with paying someone to do it. BUT....Ritz told me that they cannot burn DVD at this time as the software Pure Digital provided them does not work and Pure Digital is working to fix it. Has anyone else run into this????

Well, I'm not an expert on DVD burning, but my experience is that you should have no problem. The scanner produces a jpg file for each slide or negative scanned. With DVD burning software, which is installed on most computers, you can transfer the files from the flash memory card to a DVD. Most computers now have a flash memory card reader built in, or you can read the files with a USB adaptor which is included with the scanner. There is, of course, a limit to the number of images you will be able to put on a DVD. My DVDs store about 4 GB, but my flash memory card holds about 16 GB, so I would need 4 DVDs to hold the images on a full memory card.

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

Getting videos out of a DVR is beyond me. I rip my own DVDs with mplayer / mencoder and put them on my zen. mencoder is a command line tool for linux. it seems really daunting, but once you've figured it out and set up an alias or two for it, it's just a few short keystrokes away from ripping a dvd into a .avi file you can play on the zen.

I burned a DVD but I cannot play it thru any DVD player (oldest and newest) at home. I can only this DVDplay via computer. Any ideas?

I agree go with Cyberlink Power Director 7 (there DVD menu maker not very good, however have not tried latest); I have bought each edition since the 3rd edition; Pinnacle still a little buggy and slow; there is a software called Muvee that you put in pictures or film, pick a style and easy movie

No, there's no standard video DVD for it. It's too customized and complex of a program to run in a DVD player. It exists for PC, Play Station 2, xbox (the old one, but I think the new one might play it), and for the Wii under a different name. These are the only formats I'm aware of, and I've done quite a bit of research. I personally own the PC and Wii versions.

Mine works just like the one in my computer, just plug in USB and computer assigns it a drive and just play - record, burn, etc. My DVD RW had gone out on my computer, but now it's fixed so have two burners now. When portable player is plugged in and you want to burn something, like at itunes, you are prompted to select which burner. I was just stunned at how well it works, just like the one built into computer. But be careful with the software that comes with it, for it is just promotional - NOT needed to operate the unit. It will instruct you to put in disc to install. P.S. The portable floppy 3.5 works great as well if you have old stuff still stored on floppies.

There is a lot of advice on burning to regular DVD-R in the discussion "How to put small clips together". I have a Vista dual core 3GB system and use the Pixela Image Mixer SE software included in the camcorder package. It is not very sophisticated but I find it pretty stable and it does an adequate job of making both regular DVD-R's and AVCHD movies on DVD-R. To just join AVCHD clips together with no editing it is quite fast and I believe it does "smart-rendering" ? Otherwise, the computer may take a few hours to process. Viewing directly on an SD TV is no problem. You just hook up the supplied red/yellow/white AV cables to your TV and put the other end in the back of the camcorder. Best to power it from the power cable though. You will need to come up with a plan to archive your AVCHD video for future use for when you get your HDTV. Otherwise your video may be "gone from the flashcard". When you get your HDTV you might want to think about getting a PS3 or Blu-Ray Player to play your alternate AVCHD DVD-R disks. You can use the supplied HD component video and audio cables to hook up the camcorder to the HDTV, but long-term a Blu-Ray Player is probably a better option. If you want a miniHDMI-HDMI hookup you will have to buy the cable as it is not supplied with the HF100. Currently, a 16GB SDHC card (2 hours FXP AVCHD) costs about $50. It takes 4 standard DVD-R's to store 2 hours of AVCHD at a cost of about $2. Also, how long can you expect the video to last on the flash card ? I have hard drive backups of the raw .mts files, DVD-R backups of the .mts files and DVD-R's of edited AVCHD movies. Oh, and I have edited standard DVD-R's in both NTSC and PAL(for my family in the UK, available from the "settings" tab).....

Ello, if your looking to just burn a DVD with photo's - there are way better & free resources available on the net. Windows - either Windows 7 or Windows 8 both allow you to "drag & drop" files directly to a DVD & then burin it. Nero's just ok to be honest - I bought it cause I thought it could burn ISO files & convert them to usable DVD's - it turns out it could - but so could a free app called "Image Burn" - which to be truthful works much better & faster + Image Burn also allows me to turn DVD's to ISO way better + it was free :-) Image Burn won't do just pictures - but the point being - Windows 7 & 8 will allow you "drag & drop" picture files directly & you don't have to spend extra $$$ to save them on a DVD or CD for that matter - as long as you have a DVD burner in your PC - your already good to go.
