After being undecided on buying a video camera I've decided to buy a fast memory card and learn to use manual video settings on my old canon 550d. I know it may not be the best but all I'll be filming are my kids in their muay thai fights so I'm sure it will be fine for that.

I'm having trouble getting the footage to play on a dvd can anyone help me? I've not yet edited any of them yet so could also do with a recommendation of free editing software.

Thank you
 
If you use Windows 7, it has include an application called DVD creator. This application processes videos so they can be played on a standard DVD player.
If you do not have Windows 7, DVD Flick is a free program that does the same job.

It's listed as Windows DVD Maker
 
What camera settings did you use to record it?
 
shutter speed should have been 1/100th
 
As a guide the shutter speed should be twice the fps.........it's a whole new learning curve
 
I've read somewhere that although the guide line is twice the frame rate, it is fine as long as the ss is an exact multiple of the frame rate. Am I right in thinking that the ss has the same effect for video as in photography, as in if I use a slow shutter speed there may be an issue of motion blur? The video when played on PC looked ok, just when I transferred onto disk it lost quality.
 
Twice is the sweet spot.

Move away and you get either motiom blur or jerky video.
 
Ok thanks. I'm recording thai boxing tomorrow and going to set it at 50 fps, the camera I'm using doesn't give the option of ss 100 so will try 125. Does it work like photography where if the shutter speed is too low there will be motion blur?
 
You want a bit of motion blur in individual frames for video else it looks a bit choppy, as already said the rule of thumb is twice the frame rate or thereabouts. But like most rules you can break it :)
