Hi,
I have some footage on a small casette tape that was shot on a video camcorder. I now want to get this footage on to a CD so that I can view it on my PC and/or my DVD player.
I've been told I can get it transfered on to DVD-R (not CD, DVD or CDRom), but I have to check if this is compatible with my PC. I've done a bit of research and it seems that DVD-R will be fine for both PC and DVD player. Does anyone know if this is correct?
I also wondered what format it comes in on the disc. I expected mpeg.file format for Windows Media Player or something like that? I want to split the footage into different files as it's transferred because there is an official 10 minutes of footage and then a load of stuff I don't particularly want and so I would ideally like it split into three files on the disc.
It's very precious footage and I don't want it transferred to find I then can't watch it, so if you can advise on this then I'll be very grateful!
Thanks.

This might come as a useful surprise; most file-format angst is readily circumvented/obviated. For instance, mpeg2 and vob files are, ... |
