Hi Grandma :)
1. You will need a device to bring the videos into your computer I recommend a Dazzle capture card.
2. You will need a DVD or CD writer.
3. You will need CD or DVD creation software. Usually this will come with the writer but I recommend MyDvD since it handles Windows Media files .wmv .
Once you have all of these tools you should be able to create DVD's/CD's from your existing media. Or use Windows Movie ... |

How can I play multiple songs at once? I can't seem to get them to overlap. I can only get the beginning of one and the end of another but not both playing at the same time. :) |

Here is a site for DVD containers. You can also find them at Best Buy but buying online is usually cheaper.

You can also buy DVD Label kits and use your printer to create custom DVD / CD labels and case covers.
Have Fun! |

There are some effects that may help but nothing like what is available in PhotoShop. |

Posted by VidGreg on 3/23/2005 4:46:37 PM
If this is a one-time project and you wont need multiple stories, then the DVD plug-in should be fine. But, if you think that in the future you'll be doing more DVD burning, then opt for the latest MYDvD product from Sonic.
TDK makes a nice DVD Burner and you might find one that comes bundled with the MYDvD software. Go to Amazon.com and search for DVD writer... Read the user reviews at the bottom to help you decide on a brand and model.
Good luck |

Yes, MyDVD converts your WMV files into MPEG2 just prior to the burning process... |

Posted by VidGreg on 6/7/2006 10:39:22 AM
The Hi-Def consumer camcorders will be more affordable in the coming year. If you are happy with the Panasonic, then I would hold out as long as possible until more High Definition video cameras come to market. |

I was having a problem with my Iomega External USB drive until I found a setting that needed to be turned on....
Once your drive is connected, go to the control panel, system, device manager and then right click the properties on your USB Drive. Go to the Policies tab and you will see two options. "Optimize for Quick Removal" and "Optimize for Performance".
I had quick removal turned on and switched to performance and it instantly improved ... |

John,
I compared the your Grand Canyon videos on Neptune and one on Mydeo. I have to say that Mydeo plays better hands down... Not only was I able to view the movie at my choice of size, I was able to rewind it when I thought I saw a Moose. It was a deer
Neptune just feels clunky compared to clicking a Mydeo link and having it open in a familiar interface.

Welcome Iain,
Can you tell me if there is a way to save a Mydeo stream to my local pc for future viewing or editing?
Thanks - Greg |

Posted by VidGreg on 8/10/2005 10:39:05 AM
That makes sense and also helps to explain to me the benefits of streaming vs. downloading a plain .wmv file. I've done a little reading about DRM. Does your service have, or plan to have, any options that I would be able to set per video via the interface? eg: limit number views.
