If you have a video camera, you probably appreciate all the advantages of small DVDs, which are so convenient to use but hardly so convenient to store. Probably you are also asking yourself how you can copy the information from a bunch of mini DVDs to one normal-size DVD.
If the DVD is copy protected, burning it is not an easy task. You may need to create a backup copy of a DVD you love, so that when the original becomes scratched beyond repair, you still have a media with your favorite movie. Minor scratches to the DVD surface can be polished but there is always a moment when the media itself can't be repaired at all. In such cases it is easier to purchase a new copy of the DVD than to try to repair it. But this works for DVDs, which are still available in the store and as you know, many DVDs are hard to find there.
Video cameras are a great asset of the technological age. Unfortunately, after you get home from vacation or the family event, the camera must be hooked up to the television in order to view your memories. Thus, it is more time consuming. Plus, it is hard to send the DVD to Grandma, or another loved one, so he/she can enjoy watching a fun time.
The easiest way to achieve this is to copy your movies to a normal-sized DVD. You can play such DVDs on your computer or you can make copies of them (and give them to your relatives and friends).
In fact, the process of copying a Mini DVD to a normal-sized DVD is not so difficult and it is much easier than copying a copyright protected DVD. Of course, it has its intricacies but you do not have to buy decrypting software or rip DVDs.
The first intricacy is that your computer's player might not be able to play the mini DVD. But don't worry, maybe your laptop or desktop computer will be of more use. Another requirement for success is that you have a DVD writer. So, connect the camera to the computer and copy the files to a folder on your hard drive. Edit the information, if necessary. For instance, you can shrink the movies. After you have prepared your data, burn it to a DVD the usual way.
Now that you know the basic answer to the question: how do I copy a mini DVD, enjoy your vacations and special events to the fullest. Take video after video. You can always transfer mini DVDs to one regular DVD. Plus, you can edit out all of the segments not meant for keeps. Then, you can make copies for friends and family, or watch on the television or computer whenever you choose.
