Answer 1

You need to convert the files, DVD-RW can't be finalized, you can download Handbrake, a free converter, import it, then use your editing software.

for future reference,  when using a reg dvd-r .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.

Answer 2

finalize DvD disk first in camcorder as per manual...

there are 3 types of files on DvD disc=>.vob, .ifo & .bup. IFO is an index file containing navigational info, i.e., where a video chapter begins & where audio & subtitle streams exist w/in the movie (VOB) file. Only the video.vob file is used for editing* - convert if not supported.

Unfortunately, .vob is not supported by *wmmaker. Convert video.vob files to avi or wmv first before import to editing app.

=>Try Prism or Kates (free)

- google, download & open video converter

- set supported output format/resolution (avi; wmv) & pc folder destination

- insert dvd disc to pc drive

- add video.vob files from DvD folder/Video_TS

- click convert...converted files are saved to set pc folder

for starters, free Windows Movie Maker* (XP-wmm2 & Vista-wmm6) provides simple & easy way to learn the ropes < click help for details>. Upgrade to intermediate video editing applications accdg. to need & skill level

      video editing process- XP/wmm2

      >>> open wmm- start/all programs/wmm->TASK pane

1. Import files: video, pics, music, etc.

2. Edit- drag/drop video files->timeline & enhance w/effects, transition, music & titles

3. Finish (render)- save Movie –OK for youTube, also save Project.msmmw file

      >>> Share-burn to DvD, use DvD authoring app, Nero, etc.)

For Vista/wmm6, t’is similar: Import/ Edit/ Publish/ - Nero for authoring
