Many flip video camcorder users tend to take many flip videos since it is very easy to take videos with a flip video camcorder. When you take quite a big amount of flip videos, you may run into the issue of backing up flip videos or archiving flip videos. Saving your flip videos on your computer hard drive or on a mobile hard drive is for sure an option, if you have enough space on your hard drives. But a better solution would be burning flip to DVD so you can easily store your flip videos or share them with your friends and family.
If you are running Windows OS, you can use Window DVD Maker to do the burning. However, flip videos are mostly in MP4 formats, which are not supported by Windows DVD Maker. So you need to convert flip to Windows DVD Maker supported formats, for example WMV. To do the conversion from flip video to WMV, Doremisoft Flip Converter is an excellent choice.
Part Two: Burn flip video to DVD with Windows DVD Maker
Step 1: Launch Windows DVD Maker
Click Windows Start Menu –> All Programs –> Windows DVD Maker to launch Windows DVD Maker.
Step 2: Add videos to Windows DVD Maker
Click on 'Add items' in the top toolbar of Windows DVD Maker. Browse and add the videos you have just converted from the output folder of Doremisoft Flip Converter. Then you can check the total time length of the DVD and name your DVD in the 'DVD title' text box.
Step 3: Set DVD Options
Click on 'Options'. In the 'DVD Options' dialog, you can select an aspect ratio, TV standard (NTSC or PAL, if your DVDs will only be viewed in USA, you can just select NTSC), and you can also set the DVD burner speed, etc.
Under 'Compatibility' tab, you can enable or disable video filters installed on your PC.
Click 'OK' to save the settings you have just set.
Step 4: Customize DVD Menu
Click 'Next' to go to the 'Ready to burn DVD' page. In the pane on the right side, select a 'Menu Style' from the available menu styles. You can also click on “Customize menu” to change the font settings, choose between several button styles for the 'Scenes' view of the DVD, select foreground/background videos for the DVD menu, and select the background audio etc.
When you are done with the changes, click on 'Change Style'.
Step 5: Preview and burn
Before you click the 'Burn' button, you can take a preview of your DVD by clicking the 'Preview' button to play the video, jump to chapters, and navigate through the DVD menu pages. Now, if everything is good, you can just insert a blank DVD disc to your disc drive and click the 'Burn' button to start burning. Then, you can just relax and wait for the burning to be finished. sophy - Wed Jul 14, 2010 11:08 pm Post subject:
