Getting my Movie on to our TV

TommyPollock · Post by **TommyPollock** » Mon Jul 28, 2003 3:07 pm

My next movie is going to be filmed on a Digital Camera, and this is my first experience with them. I want to get my film (once edited) onto our TV, so we can watch it properly. These are the things I have that might help:

TV
CD-RW Drive
DVD drive (Not DVD-RW)
VCR
Playstation 2 (with DVD player)
Adobe Premiere

How can I connect up or burn a disc or whatever, so my movie will play on the TV?

P.S. The camera is my brothers, and I don't know yet if it has a Digital In port.

Once you edit your movie, Premear should have the option of not you can find a burning program that does, you will want to burn your movie, to VCD, which is a normal CD that reads in your DVD player as a DVD. Just make sure your movie is small enough to fit on the VCD, since it will probaly encode in mpeg, don't go over 60 min.

Or you can send the futage back to your cam once your done, and useing the cables that came with the cam, (red, yellow, white) you can plug into your VCR and put the film on tape, or just watch if from your cam.

I would go with VCD's though very simple and stupid people think it's a DVD.

If like me, you have no firneds that have DVD players, plug the camcorder into the VCR, and record a copy that you can play at your own leisure!

Graphics cards with video out should not be discounted - Even if you do all the editing on the PC, and save to DVD, they are useful for previewing the footage on a TV straight away!

Can't only stand alone DVD players play VCDs? I thought the player on Playstation 2 couldn't.

Not all standalone dvd players play vcd's, i dont think ps2 plays vcd's - but most dvd players do and will normally say on the front VCD or sumthin if they do. all computer dvd drives play vcd's but u may need a vcd playing s/w to play it.

No, I don't think PlayStation 2 can play VCD's.

My DVD player can though..........
if this helps at all.

Exactly. So if there nothing I can do? Does any format that you're able to write with a CD-RW work on a PS2?

Thanks, but I was hoping to do it free of charge.

Use Audio,Visual,Audio output cords and hook them up on your TV.
Then if edited when captureing if you can go Print To Tape and then the edited version with be printed to the Mini DV tape of yours .
