Problems burning my movies from camera to DVD, help please!?

Question

I have a Pentax camera, and when I plug in my SD card my PC asks me if I would like to import the pictures/movies etc, using windows whatever.(I have Vista by the way)

Then Me in my ignorance, thought I could burn a DVD of the movies using windows movie maker, but I go through the whole process, down to the 'burning' but the DVDs never play on the DVD players in the house.

I am not a great computer whizz, so can anyone explain why this happens?

Thanks.

Answer 1

first you must check to see if your home dvd plays the disc you are burning to. then you must initialise and then finalise the disc for it to play on your home dvd. you can do this with your home dvd if it has record on it,and windows movie maker can.

Answer 2

Get AVS Video Converter, it can rip and burn personal DVDs, convert video, split, join, edit, rotate, apply effects, transfer, copy! All key video formats are supported! This is the best tool I' ve been used.

Answer 3

Try downloading a programme called convertx. Download your video into this programme instead of windows movie maker. It will automatically convert the video files and burn them on a disc so it can be watched on any dvd player
