Edited video - no output to DVD

[descotes]

Hello everyone!

I am a newbie at this and not extremely technicial.

I just captured and edited my first video from my analogue camera to my computer. I am using Pinnacle Studio 9 for this. Now I want to output to a DVD and my computer doesn't have a DVD burner. Now I don't know what to do. I don't want to be come an expert at all this. I just want to do minor editing of home movies and get them on to DVD for viewing.

Also it said that my video is too big for a DVD. The whole thing is only 1 hour and 22 minutes. That doesn't seem long.

Please help.

Thanks.
Stacy

If you only have a CD burner, then you have a couple of options. You can try to output a VCD with MPEG-1 video output, but those are limited to around 70 minutes. Or, you can make an AVI compressed with XviD or DivX and play it on your PC, or your stand alone DVD player if it accepts MPEG-4 videos. As a third option DVD burners are not too expensive these days. Hope this helps.

to put it onto dvd you will need a dvd writer a cd writer will allow you to make a vcd your movie is two mins to long for it too fit on a dvd disc you need to take off about two mins of footage of your movie then the movie will fit to a dvd disc blanc single layer dvd disc hold 120 mins of video your movie is 122 mins long hence it wont fit

your movie is 122 mins long

No ,it is not.It is 1 hr.22min long,i.e. 82 min.long.

I think you'll find that a standard single layer disk only holds 60 minutes of HQ DVD MPEG2 quality and so if your film is longer than this then DVDShrink is the ideal solution.

I tried Pinnacle but seemed to have problems burning directly to disk. I now use Intervideo WinDVD Creator .
