Hi Everyone, I sure could use some advice. I am not really too savy when it comes to computer software. What I am looking for is an easy way to convert about 15 small-ish MP4 files that I took with my phone. I got them in a file folder on my laptop & they all work fine and are great. What I was trying to do was burn a DVD that could be viewed on any DVD player.
My first thing I did was burn a CD on my computer. Of course, it worked great on all the PCs in the house, but not on any of the DVD players. With a little research, I found out I can't burn on my computer to view on other players & it was suggested to me to get a free video editing software that would quickly convert to a DVD.
So I did MORE research & now I am at a standstill! There are gazillions of software out there & since I am unsure of even all the technical terms I am REALLY afraid to start downloading software when I don't feel I know what I am doing. I don't need a lot of editing, all I want is the ability to burn my video files to a DVD so they may be viewed by my children later (that is after I am 'gone').
I use window 8 (no I don't want to upgrade) and I have DVD players (not blue-ray). I have also read conflicting information about buying DVD-RW or DVD-R, so I am as confused as ever. ANY advice for an easy, no frills software would be so appreciated. THANK YOU for you time!!
