Need software ideas
Hopefully this is ok for this forum. I need a good program to capture and then burn to DVD the video from my digital camera. The closest I have gotten to something useful has been Ulead VideoStudio but I am having problems with it. I can capture just fine but when I try to burn to disc it hangs my computer at around 4 to 7% in rendering and I have to reboot. I have tried to get updates and that and nothing is available. So PLEASE would you Gurus of video give me some good ideas of some decent software to use?

You are trying to burn the capture straight to the disc?
You're not capturing to the hard disk first?

Yes I am capturing to Hardrive first. I am running an athlon xp2000 with 768 megs ram and and an ATI 9700 pro vid card and plenty of HD space. I have current drivers on everything and all current updates for windows.
Thanks for the very fast response! BTW I am running winXP home full version.

Which media format are you caturing the video in i.e. MPEG,AVI ?
Perhaps something like TMPGEnc DVD Author which will change MPEG1 and 2 media to chapters then burn in DVD format.

I am capturing in DV format which is all it will seem to let me use. Then again I might not be doing something correctly on that. Next time I capture I will try something diffrent. I will also try the program you linked and see if that works. This is really bugging me because the whole reason for the burner was to put the stuff from camcorder to DVD for passing out to family.

Nero Ultra Edition seems to also do a similar job.

I capture and edit in DV format with Ulead MediaStudio, encode the DV file with a third-party encoder (TMPG will work just fine if it's properly set and the bitrate is 5000kbps or better, the Ulead encoder is crap...), then author the DVD with Ulead DVD Workshop.

Oh, and don't forget it's *supposed* to take a huge amount of time to encode. I am getting an encoding time of 10x the duration of the video on a Athlon 1.33G, when using the best possible quality settings, so I normally start in the evening, leave it overnight and when I come back from work next day it's done...
