Converting Your
Wedding Videos to DVD
|
Technology marches ever onward and, as it does, it carries us right
along with it. In the early 1980’s, as VCR’s dropped in price and appeared
in more and more homes, there was a sudden mass appeal for people to
have their old Super 8 home movies converted to video cassette. Video
tapes last far longer than film and it just made sense to convert those
old reels into a more watchable and compact format. People brought their
movies of their baby’s first steps, birthday parties, and weddings and
turned them into video tapes. Not long after that, video cameras became
cost effective for people to buy and those old super 8 cameras and projectors
went the way of the dodo. People began using video tape for everything
and the wedding video was born.
Technology has shifted yet again, folks. You may have noticed less and
less video tapes at your local Blockbuster store. The medium is becoming
extinct, replaced by DVD. Guess what? It’s time to convert yet again.
DVD discs last far longer than video tape, offer higher quality picture
and sound, and can run longer than video cassettes. By converting your
wedding videos to DVD you can ensure that the memories you saved will
last even longer.
The process of converting your wedding video to DVD is not complicated,
but to do it yourself you will need some special equipment. Obviously
you’ll need a DVD recording device and a way for your VCR to connect
to it. If you have a DVD burner on your computer, you’re halfway there.
You will also need a way for your VCR to interface with your computer.
Most computers do not come shipped with a way to do this. You’ll need
to install a TV card on your computer that has inputs that match your
VCR’s outputs. Most TV cards do have both RF and A/V inputs.
Next you’ll need to record the wedding video onto the computer’s hard
drive. You may need special software to do this if your TV card didn’t
come with any bundled. Sony’s Vegas Video is a good one, but there are
a number of different titles available. Keep in mind that the video
will take up a lot of drive space. In order for the video to be placed
on DVD it will have to be in an MPEG format. Your video recording software
should be able to save it this way. Once that is done, it’s simply a
matter of using your DVD burning software to transfer the video onto
a DVD disc that you can then watch on any DVD player. The software will
have instructions for doing this. Once the process (which can take some
time, be warned) is complete, viola! Your wedding video is now on DVD
and can be enjoyed forever.
If you don’t have or can’t afford the equipment and software to follow
the preceding steps, fear not. There are companies that can take away
all of the hassle and transfer your wedding videos to DVD for you, for
a price. Whichever method you choose will have the same end result and
you’ll be enjoying your old wedding videos and other home movies on
a new format that’s built to last.

 "My
husband lost interest in sex about 7 years ago and we usually
