| 365193 | 2005-06-19 02:24:00 | You could use a video card with video out and connect it to audio/video in on the TV . BUT yup . if u want to put whatever on DVD, you need a DVD burner . A CD-burner will work with photos, if whatever u burn is less than a cd / 700 mb . Any program will burn to DVD . I use Nero and Nerovision myself for this . for burning photos/Videos to DVD . You can also make menus/titles for your videos/photos before u burn them to DVD . (I think most programs can do this anyway) . The only prob is, not all external / standard DVD players, can play burned DVD's . BUT an internal PC DVD player would help, if you're going to burn things to a DVD . You can get a dual layer DVD burner, which can use normal blank dvd's for $100-150 now . Not too dear at all . |

| 365197 | 2005-06-19 06:09:00 | Hi beetle. re: maybe i could these as presents? the disks i mean...of our children.. Gently does it with the CD's of photographs. I have 16 grandchildren with proud computer-literate parents and, I hate to say it, lord only knows how many gift CD's. | Scouse (83) | ||

| 365199 | 2005-06-19 07:51:00 | are you referring to video made on your digital camera? (rather then on an actual video camera) If so then no DVD writer needed, just author to VCD (Video CD) . They files you have will be heavily compressed so don't expect fantastic results when viewed on TV . Fire up Nero, select Video CD, nominate the vids, sit back and relax for 4 minutes, pop the finished cd in the DVD player . If you have a movie camera then step one is to transfer it to the comp, Using a capyure card if its an anologe camera, Firewire if its digital . Step 2 is to burn to DVD,in which case you will need a dvd-writer . |

Written various things to various media. However it pays to use good quality blanks. |
