Create DVDs To Include All Your Video Clips And Images
By Sylvia Adolvana
Create DVDs to add all your images and videos on one
DVD and then send the DVD to your relatives and friends.
You may have friends who live overseas or interstate
and the only way you can communicate with each other
is by sending a DVD once every few months.
This will help keep your friends and relatives informed
about the latest information about your family.
It seems the DVD has replaced the written letter. You
don’t need to describe the birth of your new baby,
just put the video and images on DVD and send it to
your friends and relatives.
It is easy to create your DVDs on your computer these
days. After shooting your images and video, just put
them on to your computer and start editing.
Copyright rules
Many new computers come with programs that help you
create DVDs. Just because you can copy almost any DVD
out there does not mean you should. There are some that
you cannot copy, but there are others that you can upload
to your computer and then burn on a DVD recordable.
This is not what this software was designed to do.
You should know that if you do that, you are guilty
of copyright infringement, and if you get caught you
will be in a lot of trouble. However, the same rules
do not apply for your own movies and video clips.
Many digital cameras come with the capacity to take
short video clips. I know that mine takes them, and
they can be up to ten minutes if I have enough memory.
Create DVDs to share video clips
These clips are often of my daughter, and I want to
share them with family and friends. Some do not have
a computer, so I want to create DVDs to share with them.
This way, they can just put the DVD into their player
and view the videos on their televisions.
There are no computers required. I can create DVDs
that are just one clip, or I can put all of the clips
I have on my computer onto a DVD for the sake of simplicity.
Add a little splash to your DVDs
There are programs that can help create DVDs with a
little splash. They can help you edit your material
so that it is not just a series of short clips.
You may be able to create DVDs that have background
music and text if you want to. If you want to have even
more fun, you can use this software to make a movie
for the amusement of your family and friends.
Those who do not have a computer will appreciate that
they can watch it on DVD, no matter what it is that
you are sending them.
Need a lot of memory and a fast processor
In order to create DVDs on your home computer, you
have to have one with a lot of memory and one that has
a fast processor. It will take some time to burn the
DVDs, so you may want to set them to burn when you are
going to do something else.
This might be all you need to pry yourself from the
computer to do some housework, at least, that works
for me.
Make sure you follow the instructions when you go to
create DVDs so that you know they are going to come
out right, and that there are no glitches or problems
when someone goes to watch them.
You can always watch the DVD before you send it out
to make sure that the DVD works and it is watchable.
If there are any problems, then you can fix them on
your computer.
Adobe Premiere Pro
The program I use for video editing and creating DVDs
is Adobe Premiere Pro. This is professional level software
where you can add music, special effects, titles and
make a real movie out of your video clips. This software
is quite expensive, but there is the consummer version
Adobe Premiere Elements and is much cheaper. You can
create DVDs and simple menus with a scene index using
Adobe Premiere Elements.
It is easy to keep your freinds and relatives informed
about all the family news by sending a DVD every now
and then. You may include a video of your little girls
birthday party or the birth of a newborn or a new house
you have moved into. All these can added as video and
images when you create DVDs.
