|
|
I've just about had it. I need some serious help, i didnt think it would be this hard to get my home videos on to a DVD
So heres the story. I went out and bought the NED 3500A DVD RW lyesterday.
Hooked up my Sony Digital 8 camera via firewire to the pc. I used Nero Vision Express/ Roxio Easy Media Creator to try and rip the 120min tape to my hd.
Computer sees the cam, it starts ripping to the HD, only problem is it is taking MASSIVE SPACE. both those programs allows me 2 encoding formats, one is MPEG 2 and the other is DV
MPEG 2 is taking about 8 gb space for my 120min video
DV format takes a whopping 200 mb per minute
I just want a way to fit my 2 hour tape on to a regular DVD-R so i may watch my home videos on my TV !!!
note: also tried using windows movie maker, very easy, unfortuanty it rips in WMV. which i may add is a wicked format 2 hours only took 1.4 gb. but my dvd player (set top) wont read WMV
ANY IDEAS GUYS PLEASE I AM DESPARATE.
now off i go to my exam _________________ I'm Back to Haunt BB > |

doh there's gotta be a way to get this on 1 cd. Doc you know any good video editing programs for my situation?
its strange sometimes you actaully want MS to have a monopoly in certain areas.. case in point WMV !! if only my dvd player would support it _________________ I'm Back to Haunt BB > |

What kind of TV are you going to be watching it on?
If it's a normal TV make sure your move is 640x480, which is the largest picture it can display. VHS is only 320x240.
Your just going to have to cut down the res, and go to 24fps to try and get it smaller.
Here's a piece of software you can try too: http://www.ulead.com/vs/runme.htm they have a free trial copy |

thanks for the replies guys. i'm actaully going to be watching it on my big screen tv :S eek i guess i will see some horrible quality.
i just used nero vision express the mpeg 2 file came out to around 7.1 gb for a 2 hour film i used some LPCM audip format instead of the mp2 format as it said it would help save some space.
i'm gonna try out that ulead program thanks. _________________ I'm Back to Haunt BB > |
