You might want to get a better program for working with the DV files from your camcorder that will give you DVD-ready files. There are older versions of editing software like Pinnacle Studio on eBay for cheap. Or your DVD-writer or camcorder may have come with usable software. (Ulead DVD MovieFactory, MGI videowave, WinDVD Creator are some examples)
Got Pinnacle Studio. One quick question about file extensions. When importing a file, I am given the choice to save it as AVI, DivX, iPod Compatable, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-3, MPEG-4, Real Media, Sony PSP Compatable, or Windows Media. To be able to burn a DVD that will play anywhere, which one should I choose? The Pinnacle program doesn't give any help here. Thanks.
