Answer 1

Burning a DVD from footage you shot with your own camcorder is a lot of fun. It demonstrates how off-the-shelf computer technology has bridged the gulf between PC video quality and professional video production standards. You can now make great looking DVDs at home—if you maintain quality standards each step of the way. And this can be done on equipment that is relatively low in cost or may even come with your new computer.

As you may be aware, Movie Maker 2 doesn't natively burn DVDs. Or video CDs (VCDs), which are playable by many DVD players, but are of significantly lower quality than DVDs. Movie Maker 2 is a video editing tool that can burn videos to CD by using the CD-burning capabilities built in to Windows XP. But CDs only hold about 700 MB of data—not enough for a high quality video. And Windows Media Video 9 files on a CD aren't playable by current DVD players. So what do you need to burn a movie to DVD?

A variety of software products can import, export, and convert Type 2 DV-AVI or MPEG-2 files and burn a DVD, but in my opinion Sonic Solution's MyDVD is the easiest and most direct route, requiring little or no format conversion and the least amount of temporary disk space. Sonic MyDVD is even included with many DVD burners, such as the Sony DRX-510UL I used in writing this column.

But inexpensive applications that add DVD writing capabilities to the Windows operating system usually lack a good video editing tool. This is where Movie Maker 2 comes in. As we've seen in Moviemaking 101 and Moviemaking 202, Movie Maker 2 is an excellent entry-level video editing tool. It's a free component of Windows XP that's easy to use and has many powerful features.

In this column, I explain how to use Movie Maker 2 to prepare a home video so you'll have the best experience burning it to DVD and later viewing it. In the steps that follow, I'll show you how to use Movie Maker 2 to capture and edit your videos, and then use Sonic MyDVD to burn your DVD to an external burner.

DVD Burner—DVD recorders now come as a standard component on many recent model computers. Also known as a "DVD writer" or more commonly as a "DVD burner," these drives have come down in price dramatically in the last two years, while their feature set has similarly increased. My preference is to get a "multi-writer" that is capable of writing either DVD-R or DVD+R formats. This gives you the best overall coverage for all of your DVD DVD-ROM burning needs. I used the Sony DRX-510UL external drive for writing this column, and I was very impressed with its capabilities and performance. If your computer does not already have a DVD burner, you can add an internal drive or attach an external one. It's easier, of course, to plug in an external one and it's portable too, although a little more expensive.

Answer 2

I was going to suggest gasoline and matches, but you're using the term "burn" differently than I formerly thought.

The best thing you can do is this:

If you already have burning software, read the instructions.

If you have to buy the equipment, ask the professional salesperson which is the most effective and easiest to use device for the purpose which you seek to fulfill, and then make sure that that also comes with instructions written in a language that you can read.

Then read those instructions and the answers will be made manifest!
