I have just purchased one of the hand size Aiptek 'DV Z100LE' camcorders
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000UPM8SC/400002122-21/?m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

[it records onto SD card] . . I've got used to most of the facilities and started to use it to 'try out' making some video, which is where I seem to have a problem;
-
I can record & playback the video both on-screen on the camera and 'make' a
video using Windows Movie Maker programme [both play back ok] but when I 'burn'
to DVD using Movie Maker all I get on the DVD disc is the sound but no picture .
. I'm running Microsoft Home edition Vista on my Dell XPS M1530
laptop . . my local computer shop man told me I needed a set of codecs &
suggested 'FFD-Show' - which I downloaded but still no picture only sound.
Any suggestions or advice will be MOST welcome !

hi vic,
did this a few years ago and boy was it hard , you will need a software that converts the output to mpeg 4 if I remember right and a player that plays mpeg 4.

wonce you upload the movie to your pc then edit it you have to convert and burn this could take 4-6 hours.

we used the adobe software movie maker FULL system not the cheap half missing stuff

Hi Tramp,
Thanks for the info it sounds like I've opened a can of worms - I don't think I'll have much £££ to spend on expensive programmes, I thought that Microsoft Movie Maker in Vista would do the job ok . . . but then again pigs might fly

the dvd should play in your pc if it dosnt you have other problems, if it works in your pc you are using the divx format
