Question Posted Friday January 30 2009, 10:20 pm

okay. the video is from my video camera. its a JVC Everio. if thats helps and im using just the regular picture software. windows i guess? "My Pictures" under Documents. and i could probably use the software that came with it. if that would help, and that is.."PowerCenema NE for Everio" i would say. so i just dont know how to put it on a disk. or what disk i should use. a DVD-R (120min. 4.7BG) ? or.. a CD(700MB 80min.)? i have like no clue what to do..i tried it and uh.. which drive is the one im suppposed to put the disk in? .. my computer has two.. one on top of the other. i'd guess its the bottom one. my computer keeps asking for the E drive but..neither drive will work.

I'd talk to your parents to start off with. They probably know the specs on your computer and which drives are which. Without your tower sitting in front of me I can't really help you figure out whats what.

After that, you need a video converter, and that will probably cost.

Your camera records in format MPEG2. There are plenty of software out there that can convert MPEG2 to DVD format so that its playable in any DVD player. Just google "MPEG2 to DVD converter" or look up software review to see whats recommended.

Now, if you don't have a DVD burner, you can also burn to VCD, which is the standard 700 mb CD burned to a format readable by DVD players.

Google the same thing above just replace DVD with VCD.

From there, its a simple process, most programs you just drag, drop, click and burn. Pull out your new DVD compatible disc and play away.
