How do you cut clips from a DVD?

Mini DV into DVD?

  • Hi. I have a problem. I’ve got a few mini DV’s which I want to convert into DVDs. But before directly converting it, I want edit, cut out clips, make transitions, add music, and etc. before turning it into a DVD. I’ve messed around with AP, and stuff but the files usually end up like 40-80 GB. Am I doing something wrong? What do you suggest?

  • Answer:

    To convert mini Dv tapes to DVD you need to get a good video editor. I recommend sony vegas studio and dvd architect bundle. Very user friendly all the way from capturing the video onto your hard drive, on-screen tutorials to "show me how to" do all the things you mention above and export to the DVD. A single layer DVD (4.7GB) will hold about 60 minutes of standard definition TV quality video. Plus you can download a free trial at this web site to see if you like it!

If you have a DVD recorder, you can transfer your footage onto DVD-RAM discs and edit the disc in the DVD recorder. That's what I do. I tried to edit on the PC, but the sound is always out of synch with the picture, so if I needed to cut after a particular sentence, it wouldn't cut in the right place.

1 hour of MiniDV footage will use about 13 GB of HDD space. I would suggest you use an external drive to edit off of. A 4.7 GB single layer DVD can hold up to 2 hours of video.
