How do I copy DVDs to my computer?

What software to copy camcorder DVDs to my computer, edit them, and write them to a new DVD?

  • I have several mini (8cm) DVDs which have been recorded on by a DVD camcorder - what software should I use to copy the videos onto my computer, edit them, and write them back to a different DVD? A few notes to bear in mind: - the DVDs are formatted in VR mode as opposed to Video mode, and I'd want to write back to a new DVD in Video mode so the software would have to be able to deal with both and do any nessecary conversions - the different clips are all stored in one title and are split by chapters, and I'd want each chapter separated into different files - the videos are recorded at different qualities and aspect ratios, so the software would have to be able to deal with 4:3 and 16:9 at various quality levels, and preferably convert between them - I currently have a distinct lack of disk space, so a program which saved to disk with uncompressed AVI wouldn't much use as I'd run out of disk space far too fast. Any questions, please don't hesitate to message me.

    http://www.ulead.com try one of them =) they have lots of trial things you can use for that. as for editing video, either buy an aditional hard drive, or usb external one. or doing them ONE at a time..

You should be able to finalise the disk in the camera then simply copy the files to the PC hard drive - there's only about 1GB on each disk anyway - and then use NeroVision Express to make a standard DVD. DVD and HDD camcorders typically use far too much compression as opposed to MiniDV tapes so disk space shouldn't be a problem when editing.

VSO converter or NERO but I use VSO myself which I find easyer to use than Nero.

Try it this way Use a programme such as Ulead VideoStudio - you take the mini-disc out of your camcorder and put it into the DVD tray of your PC making sure it sits centrally in the little depression made for it. You may have to 'finalise' the mini DVD your camera manual will tell you how to do that. Inside VideoStudio you select "Insert DVD/DVD-VR " and point the programme at the DVD and follow the prompts and the video is copied from the disc into the timeline of VideoStudio so that you can edit it - add lots of different videos together - add titles/music/narration - and finally burn to a full size DVD to play in a standard player.
