dvd nightmare
 

anyone tried to copy video from their pc onto dvd ? i have spent three nights trying to do this and soon i will be taking my pc into the garden and giving it a good kicking...
roxio EASY media my butt......:mad:

I Use Cyberlink PowerDirector, does the job for me with the family footage, and done a couple of weddings too.

Takes an age to render it though.

EZ Producer's a sub component of it that takes already edited .mpg / .avi etc and you use it to create the menus, chapters etc then burn it to disc or a set of master files, then to disc.

I use Pinnacle Studio 9. Easy peasy.

i use iDVD and iMove HD, but they are for the mac

I use DVD Studio Pro but that's on a Mac too. :frog:

iDVD, iMovie HD or DVD Studio Pro and Final Cut work for me. Toast works as well. ( all Apple programs I'm afraid)

I simply use a TV out card on the PC and dump it onto video tape / DVD and it works ok....looses a bit of quality but I can live with it.

maybe 2cows or Kazza might be your friend here ;)

Pinnicale again:)

I had major problems copying files to just a plain old CD (Win XP of course).
Then I read a book and right clicked the CD drive in explorer and made sure that the write settings were applied - problem solved.
May or may not help.

still can`t get it to work, basically have copied video from camera thru firewire to pc hard drive, edited video, opened roxio, put edited video into burn window (it previews ok) click burn then my dvd drive whirrs a bit then roxio crashes and i cannot open the dvd drive tray until i reset the pc.:puzzled:
any help mucho appreciated..
