Convert Old camcorder video to DVD

boy_wonder

Hi,

I'm looking to put old holiday videos onto DVD. Anybody know of anywhere in Dublin(preferabbly north) that does this.

The camcorder is approx 10years old and the tapes are the small - casstette type ones that only fit in the camcorder. Could i do this myself and what would i need.

Thanks In advance

I have same project to complete. Buy a cheap DVD recorder. Play to tapes and record to DVD. If you wanna go the extra mile you can then rip the resultant DVD to Avi - Edit on PC - Reauthor and burn to DVD with menu's and chapters.

If you have Windows XP? why don't you connect the CAM in "Play Mode" to the computer using a Firewire or USB cable & capture its contents using "Windows Movie Maker" (Standard in Windows XP). Once you have it on your PC you can use something like Nero to convert & burn it to regular DVD.

Here's a Video Tutorial on how to do it:
