suzieblue Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi,well im new to all this and so far have managed to make a DVD with still pictures and all went well. Now i am trying to put my video pictures from my DV Camcorder onto DVD. Can anyone tell me is it suppose to keep jumping,pictures as well as sound when you input them? And when i play them back in the screening room it does the same? Will this correct itself on the burning? Also i have Pinnacle aready loaded onto my Laptop as well.Will that interfere with either one working? I just cant get on wih pinnacle. Also one last question.....i have XP so what programmes do i shut down when inputting the video as i was told thats what makes for a smoother DVD and how do i do it please? Please e gentle with me.

Suzie There may be 'jumpiness' as there is a lot going on during capture. You want to have a disc or 2 of RW media around for testing. Make a test burn and make sure that the final output is what you expect. You need to post the specifics of your system to make sure you have enough PC to handle the tasks.

Using Windows XP.if that means anything ......? How do i stop the jumpiness during capture please? Suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James do you shut down any running programmes when you capture or burn? Your PC specs are at the bottom edge of what is needed for video work as far as CPU. You notice long render times up to 8 hours for a 1 hour video. For best results: Defrag before capture. Turn off screen savers, AV and anything else that isn't needed. Make your Project in DVD Builder and save. Defrag (this step may or may not be required). Burn to File (an option when you click burn, it creates an ISO file) From Builder, burn the ISO file to disc. The ISO file can be deleted after a successful, tested, burn. Render is going to take the same amount of time regardless if destination is file or disc. At least by going to file, you won't have to do it again to make copies or if the physical burn fails. Again I recommend using RW media during testing and start with a short project.
