what is the better software for...

[phishhead]

i passed on the info to a friend of mine with disappointing results.

the first program - i do not recall its name would take the home video (which was very clear) and i could not recognize the people in the foreground.

most apps give you the option on the output in different qualities and formats like directly to dvd, svcd, vcd, streaming web, wma. So you might need to play around with it.

the second program- My Sonic kept asking for a piece of hardware. i kept asking for what hardware??? and i have not received a response. i even volunteered to check it out but to no avail. i will continue to find out when i can.
so that is where it stands now.

Now for this there should be the option for import from file, capture card, webcams, and digital camcorders. Since you have the files on your hard drive choose to import from file and browse to that location.

It would help us out greatly if you know what program your buddy is using.

i called my friend this morning and this was the answer.

it seemed when one sees the images on the computer screen/monitor, the computer does not know the number of pixels it needs to show.

but when the dvd is actually shown on the actual screen the quality is good.

thanks everyone for the excellent response.
