    Burning DVDs in 2025

    This evening I successfully burned two DVDs for the 40th Anniversary of the Mint Hill Historical Society, which is coming up on Saturday. For several years now I’ve been volunteering with the MHHS, helping with oral history interviews and their website. For Saturday’s event, they want to play a silent slideshow of 1087 photos on…

  • DVD Subtitles with Handbrake

    For the third year I’m teaching an adult class at our church, and I’m finding it helpful to use the free / open-source software program “Handbrake” to create short clips of videos we’re using in lessons from a DVD. It’s a bit tricky to select the correct options within the program to “burn in” the…

  • Editing Video with iMovie taken on a Sony HandyCam mini-DVD Camcorder

    Yesterday I had an opportunity to attend as well as video record the graduation (or “hooding ceremony”) of the class of 2011 at the Texas Tech University Law School. My friend who was graduating borrowed a Sony mini-DVD camcorder for me to use recording the commencement, and purchased several blank mini-DVDs. I’ve steered clear of…

  • Ripping Personally Owned DVDs for iPhone or iPod Viewing: Legal and Technical Perspectives

    This is a guest blog post by Sherman Nicodemus. This is my second post in a series I’m sharing on “Moving at the Speed of Creativity” this week. If you have questions about this post I’ll be glad to answer them via comments here. The advent of digital encoding technologies has brought a revolution to…

  • Downloading and Converting Ustream FLV Videos to DVD

    The medical missionaries to Niger whose presentation I recorded and webcasted on Sunday (with permission, of course) asked yesterday to have the Ustream video recordings of their presentation taken offline. They reviewed the recordings and were concerned that some of the things they said might be perceived negatively by the Niger government, and they didn’t…

  • Burning a DVD of a web-based video quick

    This morning my 8 year daughter wants to share her International Cooking Show video on baking banana bread with her music class, which has been having a low key “talent show” this week as school wraps up. Since virtually all blogs, social media sites and video sharing sites are blocked on her school network, the…

  • Converting and Editing DVD Footage with MPEG Streamclip

    I am wrapping up a major video editing effort for my day job which has afforded me opportunities to learn a great deal more about video editing with Final Cut Studio Pro. I wrote about this last Friday in the post, “My iMovie to Final Cut learning journey continues.” I also referenced learning related to…

  • Capturing DVD Video for editing

    I’m working on creating a curriculum DVD for the Gaylord-Pickens Museum of the Oklahoma Heritage Association, which will be shared with teachers and students before they come to the museum for face-to-face field trips this fall and spring. Thanks to grants from the Dell Foundation and the Inasmuch Foundation free field trips for hundreds of…

  • DVD burning software, Malware and Digital Citizenship

    Does anyone know of a FREE, good, Windows-based software program than can burn AVI video files into DVDs? The program needs to both convert the AVI files and burn them to DVD. (If two programs are needed to do these tasks separately that is OK, but it would be nice if these could be done…

  • Copying iTunes songs, DVD conversion and feeding

    I remember several years ago when iTunes first came out and I discovered I could “rip” my purchased musical CDs from their uncompressed AIFF format (on the CD) to much smaller, mp3 format files that would reside on my computer and be available to play whenever I wanted. When I obtained my first iPod (a…
