How To Transfer a Video to a DVD

Depending upon your specific needs, there are a number of ways to transfer video to DVD.  In this article, I will discuss how to transfer video that is already on your computer onto a playable DVD, video on a digital camcorder to a DVD, and finally video on a VHS tape to DVD.   If you have video on your computer, and you would like to burn it on to a DVD, here is how you do it.  First, you need the proper tools -- the DVD burner, DVD burning software, and the ability to convert the video files into the proper format.  If you have windows, you can use Windows movie maker to edit the video as well, and the DVD burning software to create the video menu, and start the burning process.   Typically, your DVD burner will also have the capability to convert different video files into the right file extensions that are suitable to be burned onto DVD.  If not, you may have to download freeware or shareware video conversion programs, or purchase an independent video converter.  After you get it into the right file format for your burning software, then it is not simply a matter of starting a the burning process on your DVD burning software.   That is how to transfer video to DVD, when the video is contained in a computer.   If you're trying to transfer video from your digital camcorder, you have two options.  First, you can upload the video onto your computer, and follow the directions given above.  Or, if you have a DVD recorder, it is much easier.  Simply turn on your DVD recorder, and the television is hooked up to.  Next, plug in your digital camcorder, and then turn it on.   Put the digital camcorder into playback mode. Then connect a FireWire cable from the output of the digital camcorder into the input of the DVD recorder.  Or, you can use analog cables, if no FireWire port is available.  Make sure the inputs on your DVD recorder match the ones you're using a new digital camcorder.  Then simply place the recordable DVD into the DVD recorder, and began recording.  This is how you transfer video to DVD on your digital camcorder.   If you'd like to transfer a VHS tape onto a DVD, then you will need special software.  This is because VHS is in analog, and DVD is digital.  You can purchase an analog to digital video capture device that you plug into your USB port for under $100, including software.  Then simply use the software to convert the VHS into a digital file, and then follow the process for taking a video on your computer, and burning it to DVD.
