Re: MINI-DV to DV-ISA to MPEG-2 to DVD to TV

What capture software are you using?
How do you transfer to PC? - Firewire?
And what exactly is DV-ISA?
Mini-DV footage is recorded as DV-AVI,
if captured via firewire, all capture software
will recognise it, including freeware WMM and STOIK.
All burning software can import DV-AVI footage
and convert/burn to disk as mpeg2 vobs.
I use nero, it has no problem with DV-AVI footage.
I would hazard a guess you are using capture software
that converts on-the-fly to whatever that format is?
DV-ISA?

Hi All,
The subject is my goal.
I wsa able to hook up my camera to the firewire port and import my MINI-DV
onto my system in DV-ISA format, using the HQ option. One file is 8GB, the
other is 3GB. I can play the video in Windows Media Player and ATI Media
Player without any issues. Now I want to create DVDs to send to relatives
who
do not have computers, who have standard DVD players and televisions.

Using the usual conversion tools I am able to convert the video portion
without any problems. The audio portion is like fast-forward chipmunk
speak.

I have used AVSMEDIA products which claims that it can, it isn't, and I am
not getting a response from their support. Before I spend another $25 for
the
NERO DVD-Video plug-in for my Nero burning suite with Nero Vision Express,
which claims it can do it, I wanted to know if anyone else has had such
issues and if and how they were resolved.

Someone mentioned Adobe Media Encoder (Encore) or MainConcept MPEG2
Encoder
1.5.1, but both are non affordable for my one-time amatuer production, not
even knowing if they would actually do the job.

I would appreciate any feedback.

Stevo
