Today's technology makes it easier than ever for amateur filmmakers to record their own movies with camcorders and editing software. Once you have finished making your movies, you will need to record them to blank DVDs. This will require you to have a DVD drive, DVDs and DVD software. You will also need to know the formats, capacities and recording speeds of DVDs.
DVD Drive - If your plan is to record your movies, recordable blank DVDs will be in order. In most computers and laptops, a DVD drive will be included. If you find this is not the case however, you can easily purchase an internal or external DVD drive.
Blank DVDs - A Blank DVD will of course have no data, and when you go the store, it would be a good idea to ensure you are buying DVDs instead of CD's. DVDs obviously have greater capacity and work in DVD players. There are several different formats, so make sure you are getting a compatible format.
Software-DVD software will format your movie and use the DVD drive to record the movie onto the DVD. You will typically receive this software when you purchase a DVD player, and it will often be included with your purchase of a new computer. Proprietary computer manufacturers such as Apple will need to provide their own DVD software. Non-proprietary computer manufacturers will usually provide commercial third-party software such as Pinnacle Studio or Adobe Premiere Elements.
DVD-R - DVD-R is a format that has been around since 1997. Having been developed by Pioneer, it is the most common DVD player format. Pioneer improved on their format in 2005 by releasing a dual layer version. DVD-R can only be recorded on a single time, and the single layer holds 4.71 GB. Dual Layer DVDs, in contrast, can support up to 8.5 GB.
DVD+R - The DVD+RW Alliance created a format called DVD+R in 2002, and it uses technology that makes it more reliable than DVD-R. It boasts an error management system that combats many potential issues, but the capacities of the two formats are identical.
Competition-These two formats are not directly compatible, which has resulted strong competition between the two formats. DVD drive manufacturers have responded to this format war by making hybrid drives that can use both types of DVDs. It is currently unclear as to which DVD format will eventually prevail.
Speed - Different drives have different speed ratings, the slowest being 1X. The 1X speed can record a single layer DVD fully in about one hour. The maximum of course is 24x which will do the same job in 4 minutes.
