myhousekey Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I've got a bunch of mini dv's I'd like to transfer over to DVD's via firewire. What's the best software to use to do this? (preferrably free) I've heard you can use Windows Movie Maker that comes with XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope Flick Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Keep in mind you're going to wear you're camera pretty good by playing the tapes to capture them (I'm assuming you don't have a deck) - just a heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
