Just insert the 2 clips into the time line, put a transition inbetween them.

Then go to PRODUCE and make a video file.

Then go to CREATE DISK to make the disk form that video file.

what format? give MPEG-2 a try with SVRT unchecked.

You can skip the produce phase, but if the clips are long, I would do it anyways. __________________________________

Hi guys, I see you've answered Annie/Stephanie. I'd like to "throw a few spanners in the works" and see if you can build upon the information you've given so far.

1. Annie is a newbie, a beginner
2. What about the "Confirmation" popup's she'll experience and need to respond to?
3. Videos: One is 4:3 and the other is 16:9. Are you giving the right information on how to deal with these two differing frame sizes?
4. Have you considered placing a black colourboard in a track and overlaying the 4:3 footage?
5. Which is the shorter clip?
6. Knowing the spec, a diagnostic, of a PC helps.
7. Ask more of Annie, get more information from her.

Just a few "spanners"

I was thinking of a short tutorial to show what i mean... darn, I have to locate a 4;3 and a 720p to do the task justice first.

Thanks! I am not so sure about point #2, but for point #3, yes exactly, I don't know how to handle one clip 4:3 and one clip 16:9. Please advise.

For point #4, I don't really understand.

For point #5, the clip 4:3 is shorter.

It would be great if someone can teach me to export the clips to a DVD disc (remark: this DVD disc is intended to play on a DVD player).

Thanks again!!

Have the video(s) you want to play in a DVD player on the timeline.
Go to "Create Disk" on the main menu in Powerdirector.

Chose a template.
Follow all of the necessary steps of naming your menu pages. When done that editing the text on the menu, then click Burn. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

First, you have to decide if you want the video in widescreen or standard. Personally, I would choose widescreen as that's what most modern televisions are. So, place the 1280x720 clip in the timeline. If the project is set to 4:3 you should get a pop up message that ask if you would like to change to 16:9. Select yes. Now place the 640x480 clip in the timeline. At this point I don't think you will get the message, but if you do, select no. Arrange the clips and put in your transition.

Go to 'Produce' and choose MPEG 2. Set the profile to DVD HQ. Change the name, if you like, in the Output Folder line under the preview pane. Click 'Start' when you are ready. View the produced video file to make sure it is what you want.

Now, clear out the timeline and place the newly produced file into the timeline. Set chapters, if you want, and go to 'Create Disc'. Under 'Disc Preferences' choose DVD. If you want a menu, do that next. Otherwise just select 'No Menu'. Click on 'Burn'. Choose to burn to disc, or burn to a folder, or both.

Disc creation can get pretty advanced, but this will get you a basic DVD. __________________________________
