OK. If you export the file, go export other settings, choose avi and then ok

I think I may almost be there with Streamclip. Last night I found a blog
that
helped with an explanation of how to use streamclip.
I had to record the dvd on to my hard disc, then open streamclip5, which
selected the VOB files automatically. Then, I imported one of these files
into Quicktime , changing the format I think, and was able to remove a
piece
of the video that I did not want.
Now, I need to find out how to use streamclip properly & see whether I can
now edit the dvd by importing it into WME.
I will let you know how I get on & send you the address of the blog which
also helped so that you can have a look.
Thanks,
FRank

If streamclip or WME cannot convert them it could be the files are
corrupted.
Or,
Have you finalised the dvd disc? This needs to be done before conversion
takes place.
Lastly, it could just be a long trek of downloading programmes from the
net
until you find one which will do the conversion.

As for editing, there are some hints and tips on both my web site
www.myvideoproblems and www.papajohn.org when finioshing editing, you
just
use the save to cd option. MM cd's will only play on a pc, not a dvd
player.
If you want them to play on a dvd player, you need to use another app
like
nero/roxio and make a vcd or svcd.

No further luck with Windows Media Enc. even though all the steps you
mentioned before now show up, so now I have instaled streamclips
squared5
&
the necessary smaller programmes & can play the videos. I cannot
convert
or
export them as I get a message saying "Cannot convert to..." .
There is a lot of info with the programme but I could not find any
simple
instructions explaining how to edit my videos & record them on a
seperate
cd
when I have finished.
Can you help ?
Thanks,
FRank

It's possible that the file is encoded with audio of maybe ac3 and you
don't
have an ac3 decoder installed that wme can access.
Try streamclips squared5 and convert the mpeg to a dv file.

Finally managed to use my computer to check out the above, but I
still
cannot do it.
I downloaded Windows Media Encoder and followed the steps. When I
pressed
finalize at the very end, I got an error message saying that it
didn't
work.
There were two points that I was not sure of; a) I found the
VIDEO_TS
FILE
&
the main VOB file inside - there were 4 others but smaller. I
clicked
on
the
mian one & it went to the Encoder. b) At the point when the Encoder
asked
for
"video dvd@ 2mbps" I tried with quality video 2mbps being the most
simillar.
The audio cd box did not open so I couldn't put anything in there.
What should I try now.
Thanking you,
Frank

How do I get started ?
When i connect my Panasonic video camera VDR-150E ( uses 8cm
DVD)
to
WMM
using a USB cable, I set the camera to playback videos, press the
play
button, so the video begins, click on capture video in WMM, and
all
that
happens is that WMM sends me a message saying that my camera has
not
been
detected.

What else do I have to do ?

Curiously in Windows Media player I can view the videos using the
above
method or by simply inserting the discs into the computer, but I
want
to
edit
them.

What are these "codecs" & does Windows XP have them or do I have
to
download
them ?

Thanks,
Frank
