I need some software to convert VR (?) to MPEG on a DVD. Anybody got a recommendation?
I "think" I can switch the camera over to MPEG, but that's no help with the vids I have.

hmmm...dunno what a VR from a camera is. What kind of camera is it?

Some DVD authoring programs will convert Quicktime and AVI files into MPEG-2 for you.
I use Apple's "Compressor" program or Sorenson, or Media Cleaner to do it for me.

Sean:
It's a Sony. The disc is DVD-RW, they call the mode Video.
What I really need to do is compress the vid (currently 300 mg)
so's I can get it on the net.

I'm really quite clueless bout this shit.

Ok, I've got ya.

Try this http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/encoder/default.aspx. You'll need to copy the files from your dvd to your computer first. I haven't used one of those cameras to know if you'll need an intermediate program to digitize or not.

If so, try this http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=532#comments I haven't used this yet, but folks do it to capture HD Mpeg files to edit. It should hopefully work with NTSC mpeg cams as well.

good luck,
