Flip Video's line of compact video cameras has made life easy on budding filmmakers and people wanting to document their lives. The camera's small size and built-in USB arm make it easy and quick to upload videos to a computer. And, with many personal computers now coming with DVD burners and easy-to-use burning software, creating DVDs at home is just a few short steps away.
Instructions
1. Upload your video(s) to your computer by connecting your camera to your computer. Start by sliding the latch that holds the camera's built-in USB connector arm down. The latch is located on the side of the camera above the battery door.
2. Insert the camera's USB connector arm to the USB drive on your computer.
3. If using a Macintosh computer, a "FLIPVIDEO" icon will appear on your desktop. Double-click on the icon and another icon--"Read Me"--will appear. Double-click on this icon and follow the on-screen prompts to start the program and upload your videos.
4. If using a Windows computer, open the "My Documents" folder on your computer and double-click the "FLIPVIDEO" icon. This will cause another icon--"Flip Video for PC"--to appear. Double-click this icon to start the program and your video upload.
5. Once your video is uploaded to your computer, open your DVD burning software and import or open (depending on your software) the files you want to burn to the DVD.
6. Insert a blank DVD into your computer and once the computer reads it, click "Record" or "Burn."
