How can I convert my mini-DV to DVD on the cheap?

Hi, I took a computer course in high school where walking with cameras and things of film projects. I have lots of pictures of old friends on this Mini-DV tape purchased for use in their car video cameras. The problem do not have access to a MiniDV camcorder, but love more to somehow save the data on the tape. Is there a player with mini-DV or somewhere I can send my tape to a DVD or CD made by affordable? Thank you.

In Do it yourself, you need a mini-DV deck, a FireWire connection on your PC and video collection and a program for creating DVDs. Although there is no mini-DV decks, which are very rare they are a bit more expensive than a video camera. You can find basic miniDV camcorder for under $ 150 these days (there is a model from Samsung in Amazon.com now under $ 130), probably less if you search the model close-out or renovated housing (Consumer Electronics Show was last week where he announced that all new products, so there are no models that are already transferred to "abandoned" at retail). Many PCs and laptops built in FireWire. If not, you can get a FireWire adapter for as little as $ 10 – $ 15, depending on the interface you're looking for (PCI or PCI Express on the desktop, PC-Card or ExpressCard laptop) .. Discover a place like Newegg for a wide variety of choices here. Can video editing with the team most likely, already.

Early versions of Windows XP does not come with Windows Movie Maker, but it's a free download. There are a number of free tools for creating a DVD directly from a AVI video file or other equipment. Visit Web http://www.videohelp.com links to these things, tutorials, etc. is more complicated if you want to add menus and other features, but if your main goal is to get the video (edited or not) on a DVD, you can get for cheap. You can also find a relatively low cost (usually less than $ 50) applications offer a basic all-in-one function, ranging from DV, capturing, editing and DVD creation. If you have Windows Vista Home Premium or Ultimate … my condolences. But they also understand Windows DVD Maker, create and burn DVD-Video discs for you. If your PC does not have a DVD-R, of course, you will need one of them, too. Online retailers as NewEgg, eCost and Amazon are much better deals in the store such as Staples or Best Buy. Of course, you can get videos converted for you by using a service bureau. For about $ 10, you send them a tape, get rid of the tape to a DVD-Video and send the tape and disk.
