SAVING A VIDEO FILE TO HARD DRIVE

[19CRICH]

CAN YOU CREATE A VIDEO FILE AND SAVE IT ONTO YOUR HARD DRIVE FOR WRITING TO DVD AT A LATER DATE?

I DO NOT HAVE A DVD WRITER AT HOME BUT HAVE ACCESS TO ONE AT WORK I USUALLY TAKE MY FILES TO WORK AND BURN THEM TO DVD THERE BUT I CAN'T DO THAT WTITHOUT LOADING PTE ON THE COMPUTER AT WORK AND DOING THE CONVERSION.

CAN ANYONE HELP.

Steve,

Ulead DVD Movie Factory 3 and several other programs will allow you to write a file to either/or. As a rule I will burn an image to the hard drive at the same time I burn the DVD.

welcome to the forum

the vid file that pte creates is a temp file

I used to use tmpgenc to take that temporary vid file and convert it to permanent mpeg files then when i had enough to make a show import those mpeg's into nero or roxio dvd makers

if you do a search of the forum for tmpgenc you will find many threads

i changed my system so now i bypass the tmpgenc step -- but i would still use it if needed

thanks to both of you for your help I will give it a try. I have a copy of movie factory 2 but if it doesn't work I will download the trial version of 3.

thanks again a great forum
