I use my analog and digital camcorders to capture the video and it produces
an avi file. It uses firewire too.
What is 'raw' format? Where do codecs come into play? The only thing Nero
indicates to me is that the avi
file is too big for the DVD and wants to know if it should compress it for
me. It mentions something about
Type-7 or Type-9 but it means nothing to me.
So ULead does the conversion and burn for you as Nero apparently is doing
for me? Only ULead is
much much faster. thx.
