How to Copy Mini DVDs
- 1). Plug the FireWire connector cable from the port on the side of the camcorder to a free FireWire port on the computer.
- 2). Load a prerecorded Mini DVD in the camcorder and leave the camera turned on.
- 3). Open the software on the computer that works with the Mini DVD camcorder by clicking twice on the program name.
- 4). Click the "File" button on the software to open a folder displaying the video files on the Mini DVD in the camcorder.
- 5). Select the desired videos to copy, then click "Import Files" or "Copy Files" to copy the videos onto the computer.
- 6). Click the "File" tab once more and choose "Save As" to open a box for assigning new names to the videos, if desired. Type a name in the box. Most camcorders will assign a numeric name to each video stored on the disc, such as "Video 001," so renaming the files makes them easier to identify.
- 7). Click "Save As" and choose "MPEG," which is a format suitable for burning to a DVD at a later time, if desired. Click "Save" to store the copied files on the computer.
