Burning a movie?

KingofLodis · 10-11-2009, 05:27 PM

Sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forum, I don't know where else to ask.

Ok, so me and my friend made a movie with sony vegas, but...

I'm really confused as to how we put this onto a dvd so that we can just watch it on tv at a little marathon.

We have it in .avi format OR .mp4 format.

I have Nero Startsmart for burning cds.

I'd prefer not to spend any money on new software, but... If you have any recommendations on anything, that'd be awesome too.

It needs to be reformatted (converted). There are many free softwares to do that.
This one "should" do it: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/freevideotodvd.html

Then what? Just burn it as a movie dvd on nero or what not?

Yes. After the data is converted you can use Nero.

Windows Movie Maker does a decent job and you already have it
