Author Topic: video guys Locohead World Famous Smoke Dancer Member # 15 posted December 07, 2005 05:29 PM                    What is the easiest way to get analog video (not mini dv) (I don't know much about this stuff) to a DVD? I have a DVD burner but I lack the software and hardware or whatever else is needed.

Is the DVD Recorder for a computer ot TV? Are you operating Windows XP? To get the analog signal to the DVD Burner hooked up to the computer, you will need to capture the video on the computer itself. Your computer will be required to have a capture card installed ($9 to $399). If you don't have one of these, you're hosed. Option 2: If you have a digital camcorder, you can hook up the analog device to a digital camcorder (called a passthrough in this case) and then use a firewire hookup to go from the digital camcorder to your computer (if you have a firewire port on both the digital camcorder and computer). USB won't work. Once that is done, you then open up Windows MovieMaker which is secretly installed on all XP computers. I would recommend updating the MovieMaker program with the free upgrade called MovieMakerII. TV Burner Option: If you have a DVD burner hooked up to your TV, then all you need to do is connect the RCA plugs from your analog device to the DVD player to record. -------------------- Understanding the coyote is not as important as knowing where they are.

FYI The quality of finished DVD is directly affected by the beer brand too. Budweiser seems to produce higher quality DVD's. -------------------- Understanding the coyote is not as important as knowing where they are. I usually let the fur prime up before I leave 'em lay.

If you're on dial up I would suggest calling Microsoft to have them send you the Service Pack2 disk. It's free. You can order it here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx There are other free downloads to supplement Movie Maker such as extra transitions, panels, titles, etc. you will discover as you get more involved with Movie Maker.

It's a neat program. My kids make the funniest little movies and slide shows on it. -------------------- Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass kickin'.

Whens the beer and pizza getting there? Hey Leonard, I just realized that everyone on this post is a senor member but me. I am an outcast, and it feels gooood.

(and a pretty wife) But, I see that you don't have far to go to make a señor? That's a significant milestone, one to be proud of, kinda like an "Internet Guru". Good hunting.

Pizza will be your choice but I must insist on a twelve pack of Pacifico! Thank you for the info. I have some really cool old video on Hi-8 tapes. I've never done anything with it. Rich got me to thinking about that coyote I have getting hit by a pick-up truck on video.
