Adobe Premiere Elements For Dummies

Making Your Own DVDs

By Jayan B

Technology has made it so very easy for consumers to create their own movies. Thanks to video-editing programs and digital camcorders, even the dumbest of the dummies can make a movie. When your movie is completely done, the next step is to record your finished feature on a DVD. In order to make your DVD, you'll also need a few other items in addition to your digital imaging content. These are the other items you will need.

-A DVD burner. It would be impossible to burn a DVD without one of these. Most new computers and laptops come with built in DVD units. If you don't have a computer with an encased burner, then you can buy an external drive that connects to your USB port or an internal drive to replace your CD-Rom. It is much easier of course to just buy a new computer and receive all the included complimentary upgrades like a DVD burner.

-Blank DVDs. Just like you need a DVD burner to record your movies, you also need at least one blank DVD on which to put your movie. Don't confuse blank DVDs with blank CDs. They look alike, but they are totally different. Read the labels for clarification between the two types of discs. Make sure your discs are compatible with your DVD Burner. There are different types of DVDs and not all of them work with the same burners. This is a common mistake made my many people when they try to burn their first CDs.

-DVD software. This is the software that is used to properly format your video and record it for you on a DVD. Many DVD burner purchases come along with recording software. Some computer makers like Apple offer their own software programs which are often included with purchase. There are also other programs like Adobe Premiere Elements and Pinnacle Studio which can burn movies onto DVDs.

With today's technology, it's never been easier for nonprofessional filmmaker to create their own movies.
