Help.
I would be eternally indebted to anyone who could help me with a problem I have in relation to burning analogue video footage onto a DVD.
I have a Sony VAIO 215Z. I have an Adaptec "VideOh! AVC 2210" capturing device.
I used the capturing device to capture footage that originally came from my Panasonic analogue video camera but which was then transferred onto DVD-R. I therefore captured footage from my DVD player and saved the resulting mpeg file to my computer.
My problem is this. In using Sony's "Click to DVD" software, I am able to import mpeg files created from a Sony digital camera. I am not, however, able to import mpeg files that were captured by my Adaptec device (I get a error message). I am however able to play these mpeg files on my VAIO.
Does anyone know how I can successfully import the captured mpeg files and burn them to DVD? Do I need to convert the files to a compatible mpeg format? They are mpeg2 but apparently that is fine for use on a VAIO.
I thought maybe I should try and capture the footage through "Click to DVD" but when I tried that, the computer told me to connect the external device and turn it on" even though I had already done so. Would connecting by firewire make any difference? When I connect by a USB port the VAIO makes a sound as if to acknowledge the hardware yet still tells me to connect it.
I would be amazed if anyone is able to sort this problem out for me but I would be seriously grateful and dinner invitations will abound if anyone can!
Many thanks in advance.
