Question

forgive me but I have never burned a dvd in my life!!!! I have media centre on my PC and from time to time record TV shows, will I be able to burn these on to dvd editing out the breaks. thanks in advance

Answer 1

The absolute easiest & most reliable program to edit & covert dvr-ms files (video files recorded by Media Center) is VideoReDo Plus.

You can download a free 15 trial ( must apply for trial key ) at :

http://www.videoredo.com/

It has the simplest interface possible for editing video files. I use it every day to cut commercials from the recorded programs & movies I want to save on DVD.

A more complicated yet free utility is DVRMS Toolbox :
(download the guide as well ...2nd link)

It was written by Microsoft programmers & freely distributed. It lacks any user friendly Gui (graphical user interface).

Although it requires a more savvy user it's really not that hard to figure out. I have no problem with it myself but still prefer VideoRedo.

I would imagine that you could although it might be easier to put the recording on pause and then resume the recording when the program returns.
