Ever wonder how to take those files on your computer and easily create a DVD? This screencast will be just that, demonstrating how to easily take video files you have stored and make a DVD using Intervideo's WinDVD Creator.

WinDVD Creator is a very simplistic application that will allow you to simply drag and drop files into the interface to create your DVD complete with an index Menu and Chapter Menu.

This is the first of a series of 3 I'll do on the topic. WinDVD Creator is for the beginner who doesn't wish to create dazzling DVDs, just something simple. The next will be a rather hefty step up to Adobe's Premier Elements. And finally I'll round the series off with my favorite authoring application: Final Cut Express.

I do apologize about the multiple downloads. Unfortunately there's an error with application I'm using not being able to render the tutorial and open it in Quicktime for any files over 15 mins. I'm told it is a bug that will be fixed with the next release. SO until then, I'll try my best to limit the tutorials to 10-15 minutes. But this series will have to be done in multiples as I won't be able to scratch the surface of Premier Elements or Final Cut Express in 10 mins.

I hope you enjoy.

The second half of the first video (Making DVDs with intervideo. Sorry about the dual posts, but for iTunes to pull both videos I had to use seperate posts.

Why choose NTFS? Consider these points...File Compression, File Encryption, and Disk Quotas.

In this screencast, which is the second portion or continuation of the podcast I did earlier, I'll demonstrate these 3 topics as well has discuss what they do and what to keep in mind when using them.

Wondering what file format to use? Know the basics and make an informed decision.

Brief synopsis:

• Microsoft recommends using NTFS unless there's a specific reason not to.
• Added features with NTFS:
• "Supposed" Increased Performance
• Disk Quotas
