DV Camcorder - Burning problem

HI all,
New to this world of amazing IT. Bought a laptop recently, and tried to
connect my DV Camcorder to it to burn DVD's.

The footage has been taken from my DVD and is now on my laptop, via a
USB as there is no firewire port on the laptop.

I have installed NERO on the laptop but when i look up the file to burn
it claims it is not a valid file. It is saved as a avi file, but it is
looking for another type of file, Ibo or something i have never heard
of....it's driving me mental, any help would be greately received .!

Thanks

Buy a firewire card for your laptop. They are cheap. Not wonder it
did not work properly.. Wake up!

Using a Firewire connection will not solve the OPs problem.
The avi file must be rendered into a file system (more than one file)
to be burned onto a DVD for playback. The best way to do this is to
get a video editing application.

Bill is correct. The app described at this
webpage is one way to do it:

and there are many others. Afterdawn is a good
place to look for such tools.
