(Solved) Digital Video Camera to CD

I have a lot of home movies that I would like to burn to a cd. I'm clueless about this but decided to give it a shot.

I used Windows Movie Maker that came with XP to capture the video. I did this and saved to my hard drive. Okay so far.

I burned to a cd using Nero. It took quite a while but got the message at the end that the cd had been burned successfully.

I'm getting really excited now to actually think I might have muddled my way through this.

Now I can't figure out how to play the cd. When I check the contents of the cd it shows 5 folders: CDI, EXT, MPEGAV, SEGMENT and VCD.

I have no idea what to do now.

Thanks for your help.

 

I see one thing I did wrong already. In Nero I clicked on
"other cd formats" and then clicked on "video cd."

I'll try again by using the data cd info.

Thanks for your help - I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks again.

 

welcome to T.S.G dkr.

if you have a stand alone dvd player which will play mp3`s it should play your compiled svcd/vcd`s. if you have a dvd drive on your computer then you will need a sotware player like windvd to play the movie.
a data cd is easier to compile but will only play on the pc.

 

It works!! I did it!! I rummaged through some cd's that I've never used and found one called Power DVD. I loaded the cd that I burned earlier and it works!!

Now I can either do them on cd's or dvd's.

I honestly thought I would never figure out how to do this since I can barely turn a computer on.

Thanks so much for all your help.

Life is good
