USAtoday.com has an article on how to create your own DVD movies. It's a rather small article and you will need some expensive equipment, but here it is anyway.
Still, the process of transferring home video movies to DVD is more complicated than merely popping a videocassette into the camcorder and pushing the record button. Blank DVD-R disks also cost considerably more than blank videocassettes. DVD-R discs run $20 to $30 compared to about $2 for a videocassette. |
Recording on to DVD has some additional limitations too. The software used to record a DVD, such as Apple's iDVD, limits recordings to just one hour because of concerns about savvy consumers duplicating copyrighted television programs and premium movies. Movies sold at retail or rented through a video store can't be copied because their data is scrambled by a copyright protection scheme.
