I have a laptop with a FireWire port on it and a Stand-alone DVD Recorder with a Firewire port on it.
I've just purchased the cable to connect both together.
How can I transfer Home Movies that I have on the Laptop to the DVD Recorder via FireWire?
Many thanks

When you say dvd recorder do you mean dvd rewriter0

Oh do you have a dvd rewriter0

You need some DVD burning software or DVD authoring software.
You possibly had some shipped with your DVD drive.
I had Nero shipped with mine.
You can also search Google for shareware and freeware DVD burning and authoring software.0 -

If you have a DVD recorder to record tv programmes that has firewire than the manual should tell you what to do to capture from your PC.
Failing that I have connected the av leads to my dvd recorder and recorded them in real time.0 -
