Question

Like i said before i have a sony camera, a DCR-DVD92 NTSC to be precise. But anyway my mom bought disks for it and for a school project me and my friends have about 20 some videos on there. I only need like 5 or so from it but it shows up as one file. Anyway to get them off individually with out taping it over again and getting it right on the first try or w/e. Thanks for any help. Just ask if you need more information

Answer 1

You will have to 'finalise' the mini DVD first - your camera manual will tell you how to do that - but you should note that once a DVD is finalised you cannot record any more video on it.

then try it this way

Use a programme called Ulead VideoStudio - you take the mini-disc out of your camcorder and put it into the DVD tray of your PC making sure it sits centrally in the little depression made for it.

Inside VideoStudio you select "Insert DVD" and point the programme at the DVD and follow the prompts and the video is copied from the disc into the timeline of VideoStudio so that you can edit it - chop the video up into dozens of bits -  add lots of different videos together - add titles/music/narration - make a file that you can e-mail or upload to 'Youtube' etc. and finally burn to a full size DVD to play in a standard player.

Answer 2

The dvd has been finalized into one file and you're going to need to break them up yourself.

It's a little complex for a non-tech person. You'll need to download a coverter program such as MPEG Streamclip and convert the file into an mpeg. Then you import it into an editing program and cut it into the pieces you want before exporting.

If you can't do that, I'd recommend just jumping around on the dvd when you play it, or just rerecording.
