into DVD's ??

 

Where do you plug the lead into the PC ?? What sort of lead do you want ?

Depends what your copying from and what hardware you have.

 

If you're copying from a digital camera then you'd most likely use the firewire port.

 

If you're copying from an analog source then it would be via the use of s-video or phono ports or even the coaxial input from a WinTV card.

As in RCA, the yellow, red and white/black plugs?

LM, I know it is probably a dumb question but does your PC have an analogue video card installed?

Most computers don't have them as standard items when you buy the computer.

If it doesn't then you will need to look at buying one and fitting it.

If you google "analogue video card' you should find some information that can help.

See the biggest problem you have is the conversion of an analogue signal to a digital format.

LM all of those you have been recommended will work, as you know.

Just another thing to consider, the dvds you are burning you have two choices

dvd+r

dvd-r

It will depend on your burner but +r is a Dell/Sony format that sony made so not to pay royalties to Phillips but the problem is some players won't play them and vice versa with the -r which are the most common, you will find that early Sony dvd players won't recognise them. With most current dvd players it isn't a problem but I've got a Sony that is 2 years old and it won't play dvd-r format.

Local computer shop has a card which has a line in and a socket for the tv aerial to go into it, complete with burning software. As I bought my video card there, he says it will work with the video card [although independently, it plugs into a spare pci socket on the mobo]. At first I thought the extra socket on my current video card was a line in, but now know it is a line out to watch TV.

 

It is probably similar to the e-buyer link I made earlier..but I've decided to have a look at everything so far before I [possibly] go back to the shop to buy the card described above. Cost of it is 28 quid BTW.

 

I've been copying the odd film using dvd shrink for a few months or so now, and also copying some cassettes etc onto CD's. Now I want to put some old videos onto DVD's. I would preferably use Roxio to do it [although I have a copy of nero as well] but having only burned DVD's using dvd shrink, will have to get used to manipulating the software and editing files rather than just copydisk.

 

Question pse someone : how much of a 3 hour video will go onto one DVD disk ?

 

Thanks to all for the advice.

 

Sammy, is this -r and +r relevant to watching on a pc or a DVD player with television, because I won't be watching them on the computer mate, just the TV.

All the ones I've burned so far are OK on the DVD, which is a grundig.
