How do I write videos from the camcorder on a disc?

Q. I have a high definition camcorder which writes videos in mst format. How should I write them on a dvd disc? Do you know what AVCHD stands for?

A. AVCHD ("Advanced Video Coding High Definition")
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD
creates MTS files.

If you copy the MTS files to a blank DVD using your computer or a stand-alone DVD writer (like Canon's DW100 or Sony's VRD-MC6 or VBD-MA1 recorders), the discs can be played using a BluRay player but not regular DVD player. If the files are transcoded to VOB files by the DVD recorder or a DVD authoring application like MyDVD or iDVD for regular DVD player playback (the BluRay player can play them, too), the video will be only standard definition.


How can I convert 8mm film to video?
Q. I have hundreds of feet of 8mm film that will eventually deteriorate. I would like to use my video camera to convert it to video format so I can edit it on my computer. Commercial shops charge more for this service than I can afford given the quantity involved. Can you describe an appropraite procedure to do this using a camcorder?

A. The way I did mine, about 75 3 minute reels worth, was project the film onto a wall, and video it using a camcorder on a tripod.

Time consuming, but overall, cost about $4.00 to do all of it.

If you have manual focus, it helps a lot. The video was actually easier to watch than the Super 8 was.

You can even have others on hand to give it an audio track, discussing the film as it plays, especially if its old family film.
