We got a new Hatachi mini dv camera for xmas.. I also just purchased a dvd burner.. We were able to transfer the video to the pc hd using a usb cable... Now we want to to take the mini dv disc from the camera put it in the dvd writer and use it to transfer to the hard drive so that we may burn it on to a regualr dvd.. It plays fine using the software provided... Whats a good piece of software that would help us out to do this? anyone help ? thanx

Pinnacle Studio is good software to begin with.. although there are a lot of bugs, it still is way easier and faster to use.

Just takes a long time to render your work once you are done editing. I would like to know if anyone else in here uses it, to exchange a few notes ?!?

PM me if you would like to share knowledge on this software or other.

I'll piggyback another question here, which is what software can you use to copy stills (ie. *.jpg's) to a DVD for viewing on a TV? Same question for *.mpg's, *.avi's, etc.

Ulead DVD MovieFactory 2 - I also have Pinnacle 8, but like Ulead so much better. ...Kathleen
I use both too. Ulead is definitely better if you want your stuff straight to disc. Provides basic editing features but nothing significant.

Pinnacle is best if you want to edit your video in terms of cutting, adding effects, transitions (over 800), multi-layered sound.

I make my master files in Pinnacle and then author the DVD using Ulead DVD MovieFacotry.

For burning JPGs / MPGs to CD to be viewed on TV try "MemoriesOnTV" - it's a very good program that also features Ken Burns pan and zoom effects.

Hope this helps!

Buy a mac all the software and equipment are included and built in all you need is a mini DV camera and some talent.
