If you use moviemaker to read data from DV, a program contained in every installation of Win XP Pro,  you will get a differente file fore every scene change. Ulded videostudio 8 and 9 do the same thing.

Win/Avi/Dvd converter\n\nhttp://www.winavi.com/en/products.htm\n\nBut most movies will not fit on a single disk (usually takes 2 regular cdr's), this program cuts the movie at 600megs. This is if you are using cdr's opposed to dvdr. Cdr allows you to create vcd's which are playable on all dvd players but use normal cds. \n\nYou can use nero to add a title screen and chapters too if you want.

If you are not for long tern use, suggest you have a 15 days free trial of Total Video Converter which converts DVD to avi or mpeg with pretty good quality.\n\nIf you prefer to long tern free, I think you still need to source.\n\nit is easy to use: \n\n1. Download software\n\n2. Run Total Video converter component, load the video files you'd like to convert by clicking 'New Task' button. After the files were selected, the window 'Please select the format to be converted will popup to remind you to select the right button。 \n\n3. Click 'Convert now' to start \n\n4. After converting, open the converted folder to check the files \n\nhttp://www.effectmatrix.com/

Nero with Nero Vision will do it. You can get the Nero 7 Premium for fairly cheap online.  It will make MPEG files for your computer and/or burn them onto DVD

Hi frnd U can convert while burning into .vob using NERO 7 its an good software and it gives more clarity rather than converting an individual file.. so collect all the files of .dat and convert it onto *.vob\nand if at all u want any software use TVC{Total video Converter} which is available at www.downloads.com or www.chetrocks.zoomshare.com  where u can find many links for free downloading or u can mail me for any prob at thegrchet@yahoo.co.in

You need to convert them in order to get them to run.\n\nYou can do this by creating a normal DVD with source the mpg files you extract from .dat files. \nDepending on the software in the case it is smart enough not to re-encode the mpeg1 files at a higher resolution, you will get the same result as if you had created a long-play VCD, with added menus and features available only to DVD's. \n\nI have done this using ULead. The conversion, though, is quite time consuming, but certainly substantially less than re-encoding mpeg4 files, as in the case when the source is in divx format. \nGood luck...

If USB socket is not installed in your camera then you have to buy a convertor, the converter will sit between your pc, and your camera, and will convert your VHS recording to MPG format.

You could author your own DVD using these video files.  If they're AVI, DivX or Xvid I recommend you use AVI2Dvd.  \n\nNero is also pretty good at encoding mpg files to VCD format that'll play on most DVD players.  Just choose Other CD Formats and then Video CD in the Nero wizard.\n\nIf you need a good video converter, try SUPER.  It can convert between any video format.
