Nero does it all

The solution to my video transfer problem was already on my computer. The latest version of Nero came with my new HP DVD burner and it does much more than just burn data. It comes with a complete suite of utilities for creating, editing, and managing multimedia files. Although the video editing tools are lacking compared to even Windows Movie Maker, there is a DVD import feature that allowed me to quickly transfer all of the video that I dubbed from VHS to DVD onto the computer. The format is Mpeg2, which takes up a lot less space than AVI. The Nero DVD authoring software will also come in handy for placing chapters and menus on the finished DVDs. Quite impressive functionality for software included with a DVD drive.
