How Do I Convert a Video clip and Quick Time movie to go into a DVD player on a writable CD?

Question

These are low res movies from a low spec Olympus 4MB digital camera. I want to give the clips to someone without a computer. One lot is audio format PCM, video compression is PVMJPG data rate is 163kbps, frame rate10 frames/sec (not sure if need this info)

The other lot is Quick Time movie. There are no instructions with the camera. I have tried simply copying to a CD and putting it in the DVD player - no good. Are there any free conversion programmes out there, or is there some method that doesn't need one?

Answer 1

Use Ulead videostudio 11, you can download a free 14day unrestricted trial from www.corel.co.uk and this programme will do all the necessary conversions for you, if you want to put it on CD then you make your output in VCD format & the output stage of this programme is found under the "Share" button on the top right side of the editing screen.

If you're trying to put video on a CD, as opposed to a DVD, you'll need to create a VCD or an SVCD.  SVCD is a bit less compatible with DVD players, but it's a higher quality - probably not an issue in this case.

If you get hold of Super it should be able to convert your video to  an MPG VCD (or SVCD) compliant file.  You can then burn the (S)VCD using Ashampoo Burning Studio FREE.

If you want to put your video on a DVD, try using DVD Flick.
