I downloaded a video clip from my digital camera.  It is less than a minute long.  I have burned the video to a DVD -R and a DVD +R disc.  Neither of which will play in my DVD player.  They will play on my computer, but the quality isn't that great.

What am I doing wrong?  Why is Roxio so confusing when it comes to saving videos?  I have Creator 2010.  Should I be in data copy?  Or video?  Edit Advanced video or Copy and convert?  The video production area?

Thanks for anyone with advice!!

Kathy

What is it you want to do? Create a proper video DVD that can play on a DVD player or simply archive the videos on a DVD?

You cannot simply burn videos on a DVD and create DVD that will play on a DVD player.
From the C2010 home page, select Create DVD and the program myDVD will open. This is were you setup menus, etc and burn the DVD.

Thank you.  I will give that a try.

I am trying to burn videos to a DVD that will play on a DVD player and/or someone's computer.  Do you have any other tips?

Thanks again!

Here is a link to an excellent post on the Create DVD process.
There are also lots of other usefule posts in the "How To" forums even for other versions of the Roxio software. Most tips apply to more then one version.
