Many Questions

[Guest]

This is what I am doing. I am a basketball coach and want to burn unedited
copieds to DVD and import Video into Movie Maker for editing. Are there
easier ways.

1. Video Capture - using WMM selecting "High Quality Video (NTSC)"

2. Using ULead Studio9 for burning - import raw footage and burn but not
enough space on disc (even using fit and burn feature). Videos are roughly
80 min long. do I need to import in a smaller/less quality format to make
work? HELP!

3. After editing video can I export a collection to ULead and keep in raw
format (saves conversion time) or do I have to Burn it to a movie and the
bring into ULead?

4. When receiving a video from another team on DVD - typically they are in
VOB format. How do I bring into WMM? Do I need a converter? What one do
you suggest.

Basically I need to most efficient way (time saving) while still maintaining
decent quality for edited tape and preserving the highest quality for raw
footage.

1. Video Capture - using WMM selecting "High Quality Video (NTSC)"

===========================
Doesn't seem to be a question?

Anyway...are you using your IEEE
1394 FireWire connection?
===========================

2. Using ULead Studio9 for burning - import raw footage and burn but
not enough space on disc (even using fit and burn feature). Videos
are roughly 80 min long. do I need to import in a smaller/less
quality format to make work? HELP!

============================
Video is typically one hour per disk...
unless you have dual layer capabilities.
============================

3. After editing video can I export a collection to ULead and keep
in raw format (saves conversion time) or do I have to Burn it to a
movie and the bring into ULead?

============================
ULead will not recognize the .mswmm
project file. Save the movie as a .wmv or .avi.

To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next / Next.
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...

To save as an .avi movie file...
(and several other options)
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
