This being, apparently, the season for catching up on all those tasks I've been putting off, and after successfully loading all my CD's on WMP, I am now faced with editing and saving to DVD ten VHS cassettes documenting the restoration of the ruin we bought and now live in.
Have a VHS->DVD burner and DVD read/writer on PC (3Ghz/1Gb ram).
Did some googling and also checked out the sticky started by (c)hris and it appears I need to :
1/ dub VHS to DVD/RW (I can recycle those after burn of final product to DVD/R)
2/ load DVD/RW into PC and find .vob files
3/ convert .vob files to .avi files
4/ edit .avi files
5/ burn edited .avi files to DVD/R
6/ play final disks on TV !
Any recommendations for the file conversion program and the .avi editing program (only simple editing required, cutting out the bits where somebody kept filming with the camera pointed at the floor, that sort of thing ! ), I noted zwei-stein for the editor but that was 2004.
Am I correct in assuming that DVD writer on PC will take care of writing .avi files to DVD format ?
Thanks.
