Answer 1

Well, im back, nice to hear from you again.

Steps:

I. Upload  vcam video files  to pc

- connect hdd vcam to pc via USB

- open file mgmt- windows explorer (start/all programs)

- vcam would appear as a removable drive X

- drag & drop mpeg2 files to pc folder (myVideos?)

II. Convert mpeg2 file to .avi or .wmv (as **mpeg2 is not supported by XPwmmaker2

- download super or prism video converter (google it)

- convert mpeg2 file to .avi or .wmv **

III. Video  Editing  Process

for starters, free Windows Movie Maker (XP-wmm2 & Vista-wmm6) provides simple & easy way to learn the ropes < click help for details>. Venture into other video editing app ( http://video-editing-software-review.top... ) accdg. to need & skill level.

(**Note: if video file is not supported, import vcam files separately via win explorer- Hdd (USB connect vcam to pc); DvD (pc reader); Flash Media (card reader) & convert- try Prism, Super, Windows media encoder, etc.). * If on Vista wmm6, mpeg2 might be supported, import directly, no need to convert.

Steps:

......Open wmm2, set to TASK pane

CAPTURE/IMPORT FILES:  from pc folder

- Import converted video files** to wmm/COLLECTION

- Import other files: pics, music, narration (if desired)

EDIT MOVIE:  create project- movie  

- Drag&drop video files from collection to TIMELINE chart below at the desired sequence

- Enhance video: drag&drop music, effects, transition, filter; create titles…re-edit as you wish

FINISH MOVIE: render muvee file

- Render/Save MUVEE to pc and/ or share- CD; Save project file (work-in-progress) for future edits.

Finally, SHARE:

- Burn to DVD***   (wmm2 only on CD)

   *** Most video editing app include DVD authoring, otherwise, use DVD authoring programs, e.g.,  WinDVD, Nero, etc.
