DVD making help

Postby KEVFRST on Sat Aug 11, 2012 9:07 am

Im after some help, Im wanting to add all the clips of my little girl that we have captured on mobile phones and put them onto a DVD & watch them on the TV via DVD player. I can upload the pics to my PC and get them onto a DVD. The problem is I cant play these on my DVD players. They are all in quicktime so maybe this is the problem? The discs play fine on a PC and when prompted to copy to DVD disc it asks if I want to put it into a format that will [play on DVD players but Im not getting any joy.

Should I be using a seperate DVD making program as Im just using Windows DVD maker that is already on my PC.

Please help.

you can try nero, that might work, or you may have to get a video convertor to convert your vids to avi format

Thanks for the info, means nothing to me tbh.
If I bought a digi camcorder, what format would this record in and could i put them straight onto DVD without all the format changing stuff?

Convertxtodvd does pretty much any video format, but I can't remember if it does picture slide shows.

Windows movie maker will do what you want, I think, for free :)

windows movie maker creates videos in wmv format... you will need a decent dvd burning software to burn to disc

Meh, it burned to DVD on laptop because I had a third party plugin installed. 'conquering device'.

However, try http://www.dvdstyler.org/en/

If it doesn't burn directly (but makes video_ts) folders then you can drag and drop those using any dvd burning application (imgburn, for example).
