Hi forum folk,
I use good 'ol VF 2.0 C and until now have exported finished video to DV tape or CD (via Nero, which works better), using .avi format. I have access to a (second) computer with DVD burner, which has no video editing software, and I have to make a 10 min movie to be viewed on a DVD player.
Is there anyway I can do this with the tools available? I have a sinking feeling that the answer will involve an upgrade, and new hardware....

Also, while I have you, My VF will not export to QuickTime. Is there anything I can do?

thanks, apologies if the questions are stupid,

Pen

Well, VF doesn't have any DVD tools at all so you have to use a third party tool to create DVDs anyway. Why don't you edit your movie on your computer and render to DV-AVI (or better yet, MPEG-2 if you bought the optional plugin). Then copy that AVI to the computer with the burner and use whatever software (Nero? Roxio? MyDVD?) was bundled with the burner to complete the project?

Then again, why don't you just upgrade to Movie Studio 3 and buy a DVD burner. If you live in the US, the upgrade can be done for less than $150.

Do you have Quicktime installed? If you do, did you use the "Recommended" option when installing? If yes, then you are probably missing the "Quicktime Authoring" components. Reinstall using the "Full" option.
