My mom tapes with a small camera that shoots in 16:9 some of the dancing classes she atteneds, which is usually just for her to watch on the camera screen, so its not an issue when she tilts the camera so there is more height.

Now a friend of hers would like to have it on DVD to watch at home.

I know zero about videoediting or tools, i figure i have to tilt the video first so it stands upright in a 4:3 screen with black borders on both sides, and then i would have to burn the videos to a DVD with a simple menu to select them from.

I would prefer freeware tools and if you dont mind an extensive tutorial click per click

thank you

Essentially any avi/mpg/whatever to DVD converter that supports input using avisynth scripts will work.

1) install avisynth: http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/files/
2) use google to find a one-click turn xx file into dvd that supports .avs input (all this file is is a text file that tells how to load/modify the file) ... for instance I think AVI2DVD supports .avs file inputs (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/audio_video/convert_video/avi2dvd.cfm)


the script should only contain these two lines (clipname.avs):

DirectShowSource("C:\folder\clipname.avi")
turnleft()

or use turnright() depending on the orientation. you should be able to open this .avs file in media player classic and actually see it rotated if it's all working properly. Pretty sure as well the directshowsource line can be used for any input format (I tried .mkv and that works fine).

Pretty much does it.
Only I'd use MeGUI instead of one-click tools. Smile
