Steve, what works for me is on your computer….Windows Movie Maker.

Import your camera’s file and drag it to the timeline. Then, go to Finish Movie and save it as a DV (AVI) file. Then, you can take it to Vegas and edit and save/burn.

Enjoy!

What will do all you want plus more is Ulead’s Movie Factory.

Bernard, you can make your own “autorun”

Why pay $ for something you can add yourself using Notepad and a few keystrokes. Below, is the scenerio.

Open Notepad in Windows, and type the following (using YOUR file’s name). You can use any file format that Windows Media Player accepts. Make sure the size isn’t too big as to pixelate and/or stutter on screen…….

[autorun]
open=mplayer2.exe /play /close /fullscreen sample.mpg
**Save your Notepad file as ***.inf (*First* of three files)

*Second* file is your video file (sample.mpg)

The *third* (file) item on the disk will be the mplayer2.exe file. Cut & paste this file.
** If you don’t want the file to play fullscreen, don’t add the wording in autorun.

As for your question: “whats the best size and format to use?” That’s up to you. 60 seconds doesn’t take up much room on a CD disc. Use a format that’ll give you the best resolution that looks best on the computer you intend to use it on.

That’s it…enjoy!

Leslie, I use Ghost, it works great for me.

After making your first perfect system backup w/program updates, write down on paper any NEW updates/additions you’ll install to this drive. That way, when you need to restore this Ghost backup, you’ll know what to add to it. Then, you can make a NEW Ghost backup.
