I just bought Nero 7 and read about watching live T.V. It mentions A TV card but doesn't say anything else. Any advice will help.


Answer
Nero is primarily an application for burning cds and dvds; there's a utility in Nero SmartStart that involves tv, but it's not really necessary (mostly just an add-on to make Nero seem even more complete a suite of applications than it already is).

Thing is, if you purchase a tv tuner (new), it's going to come with software optimized for the tuner, software for watching, recording and editing captured content; if the software (they will likely be a bundle of apps) doesn't feature dvd burning (and if that option appeals to you), that's where you can step in with Nero.

One thing for sure Nero is not going to allow that a tv tuner card such as WinTV is multiple channel preview: up to 9 channels can be previewed *simultaneously*, which might save you a lot of flipping. Also, I'm not certain Nero's tv component will allow fullscreen viewing (unless it's using Nero Showtime as a player/playback engine).

What you need to install a tv tuner card on your computer is at least a pentium 3 computer, an available pci or agp slot, sufficient video memory (I'd recommend at least 64mb) and overall system memory (at least 256mb ram) and several gigs of free hardrive space if you're interested in recording content and/or encoding to dvd/vcd (of course, higher system specs are [always] better). I might also suggest that if you do purchase and install this card, you should search the tuner card manufacturer's website for any updated device drivers to ensure maximum performance/compatibility with your Windows OS (I know you have Windows computer because there's no version of Nero available for a Mac).

Oh.. I might be skipping over something I should have mentioned much earlier: this tv card will require at least an antennae and/or some sort of cable/satellite connection to receive and convert the same kind of signals a normal tv receives. So even if you are watching it "on your computer", it's not gonna give you much that a regular tv and vcr/dvd recorder won't.

If instead you were thinking of watching 'live tv' with your computer and *bypassing* any antennae, cable or satellite, then you're really talking about *streaming content available online*. There's hundreds of such channels available but (most of) the content is not identical to what airs on tv. Just for fun or whatever, you might consider checking out http://www.wwitv.com/ , http://www.live-online-tv.com/ or specialized content such as iFilm.com, Youtube, btheretv.com...well, I don't know where your interests lie.

I also don't know when I've wrote too much; I'll decide it's here.

what program do you need for your computer to make home dvds?




I LOVE Mic


or what else do you need to make dvds?


Answer
Go ahead with the process mentioned you must have NERo installed on your PC

Step 1 If you haven't already, label all of the videos and cases for your home videos. Label the video with the subject matter and/or approximate dates. On the case insert be more specific and include start times for each new section.

Step 2 If you have a lot of videos to label, enlist the help of someone else who can fast forward and pause the videos while you write. Do not slow down the playback to watch your clips at this time. Save that for the finished DVD.

Step 3 Plan your video. Is this for one person specifically, with only clips of them? Is it for family viewing of all Christmases/Birthdays past? Whatever the theme, now is the time to decide how you will divide the video. Your software should allow you to burn a DVD with a title menu that can be broken down into one section or many.

Step 4 Use your cables and video equipment to import only the best related clips into your computer. Video files can be very large, so keeping the imports to a minimum will keep your computer moving more efficiently as well.

Step 5 Organize the clips as you are saving them into files on your computer. The best way is to use your plan for the DVD and make folders to correspond to your menu sections. Title your saved-files so that you can quickly recognize the clip later without having to review it.

Step 6 If you are going to use music clips with your home video, make your decisions quickly. A music library that is too large can easily gobble up a lot of time trying to find the "perfect" choice. Import the selected songs into your software and then leave them alone.

Step 7 Assuming you are familiar with your video editing software, so now it's time to put everything together.

Step 8 Drag your clips in order into the timeline. Do not add any extras until this is finished.

Step 9 Next, place any text slides and adjust their times.

Step 10 Add transitions. Avoid the fancy ones. Use basic fadeouts and slides and time them all the same. The transitions are not the focus of the video.

Step 11 Finally add your music selection. If it is shorter or longer than the video, decide whether to fade it out at the end, repeat it for extra length, or to adjust a few clips to make the video fit the music.

Step 12 Save your work frequently during production. Save again at the end.

Step 13 Repeat steps 8-12 for all DVD sections.

Step 14 Burn your finished product to DVD.
