How do I save mini dvd to my pc for editing?

Question

I just got my new camcorder that used mini dvd's, I don't own a firewire or have the port. But how can i save the video from the dvd onto my pc using the dvd in my drive?

Answer 1

mini dvd's don't use firewire.

If you have a mini dvd camcorder….

You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer 's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (i downloaded handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.
