Trf DV Tape To DVD Disc

Hi
What is the quickest and easiest way to transfer film from the mini dv tapes onto a dvd? I've got a dvd writer on the computer but I need a really simple way as I'm not techie in any way!

Thanks

  • hi the best way is an IEEE 1394 firewire cable from camcorder to PC. Then software called DVDSanta which then converts the video on to a DVD using the DVD rewriter. The PC will require a Firewire card which is a 50/50 depending on make model of PC.

    If not the only other way is from camcorder to a DVD Recorder using AV cables.

    Window Movie Maker can help you edit your films - it's probably already on your machine.

    As has been pointed out, it depends on whether your pc has a firewire connection or not.
