Converting Your Wedding Videos To DVDBy: Kirsten HawkinsArticle Word Count: 590 words [Comments (0)] Total Views: 13 Views |

Technology has shifted yet again, folks. You may have noticed less and less video tapes at your local Blockbuster store. The medium is becoming extinct, replaced by DVD. Guess what? ItÂ’s time to convert yet again. DVD discs last far longer than video tape, offer higher quality picture and sound, and can run longer than video cassettes. By converting your wedding videos to DVD you can ensure that the memories you saved will last even longer. The process of converting your wedding video to DVD is not complicated, but to do it yourself you will need some special equipment. Obviously youÂ’ll need a DVD recording device and a way for your VCR to connect to it. If you have a DVD burner on your computer, youÂ’re halfway there. You will also need a way for your VCR to interface with your computer. Most computers do not come shipped with a way to do this. YouÂ’ll need to install a TV card on your computer that has inputs that match your VCRÂ’s outputs. Most TV cards do have both RF and A/V inputs. Next youÂ’ll need to record the wedding video onto the computerÂ’s hard drive. You may need special software to do this if your TV card didnÂ’t come with any bundled. SonyÂ’s Vegas Video is a good one, but there are a number of different titles available. Keep in mind that the video will take up a lot of drive space. In order for the video to be placed on DVD it will have to be in an MPEG format. Your video recording software should be able to save it this way. Once that is done, itÂ’s simply a matter of using your DVD burning software to transfer the video onto a DVD disc that you can then watch on any DVD player. The software will have instructions for doing this. Once the process (which can take some time, be warned) is complete, viola! Your wedding video is now on DVD and can be enjoyed forever. If you donÂ’t have or canÂ’t afford the equipment and software to follow the preceding steps, fear not. There are companies that can take away all of the hassle and transfer your wedding videos to DVD for you, for a price. Whichever method you choose will have the same end result and youÂ’ll be enjoying your old wedding videos and other home movies on a new format thatÂ’s built to last.
