Whats best to convert minidvc to dvd?

Answer 1

Cucusoft Video to DVD Creator is a good choice. It converts popular video formats such as AVI, MPEG, WMV, DivX, DV, VOB to DVD and burn DVD movie played on portable or home DVD player. Any video to to VCD/DVD/SVCD is even faster than real-time.

Two ways:

1) Import the video from your camcorder to your computer over a firewire connection with a firewire cable connecting the DV port of the camcorder to the firewireport of the computer. If your computer does not have a firewire port, you can add one if your computer has available expansion slots. This way, you import the video, edit out the bad stuff, then if your computer has a DVD burner, you can use a DVD authoring application to make scene selections and backgrounds and just have the good video. KEEP the miniDV tapes... they are the original and should be locked and not re-used.

2) Get a direct to DVD recorder. Connect the camcorder (again, probably by firewire cable) directly to the DVD recorder.

Transferring to DVD this way does not allow your to edit out the bad video. KEEP the miniDV tapes... they are the original and should be locked and not re-used.

Firewire, i.LINK, DV and IEEE1394a are all the same thing.

So... it depends what your requirements are in order to determine what is BEST for you.
