How to save movies from your digital camera to a DVD

You got a new digital camera that records movies but so far all you can do is watch them on the camera or your PC. Here's how to burn your movies to a DVD so you can play them with a DVD player.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Digital Camera
• PC with DVD drive
• Disc Burning Program

1. Make sure you are recording at a good resolution, 640X480 at 30 frames per second works best for most cameras.

2. Transfer your movies from your camera to your PC.

3. You'll need to purchase and install Disk Burning Software. I've had good luck with Nero 9, but there are several programs to chose from.

4. Put a blank DVD into your CD-Writer/DVD drive.

5. Drag the video files you saved on your PC into the disk burning program. Select DVD video as the format. You can also create a menu at this point. Click "Burn" and your video file will be converted to a format compatible with a DVD player.

6. Eject your CD and watch your movie!
