help transferring camcorder video to DVD

veruccasalt

Please can anyone point me in the direction of a simple and straightforward way to get my camcordering onto a DVD that we can watch on the TV.

I have a sony camcorder, and record onto the smaller tapes. I have a firewire (I think) and want to be able to transfer holiday tape to a DVD. I will only need to do simple edit functions such as chopping out great chunks of tape where I will have left it on accidentally etc!

TIA

Windows movie maker should have all the features you need, just plug the camcorder in, import the movie, simple

has anyone else got any other suggestions please?

I use picassa for my photos and would love to find something similar for camcorder tapes

Please help!

I have used Windows Movie Maker as suggested, but then it only gives me options to save as a CD, not onto DVD. I have tried saving to various media (DVD +r, DVD -R, recordable CD) but cant get anything to play on either of my DVD players.

Please help cos Im getting desperate!!

Thank you so much!
