I use OJSoft Total video converter or AVS Video converter they are both easy to use and give good results..and they don't cost much...I also have Roxio Creater 2009 but it's expensive and slow...good luck.

Are you sure you didn't mean to view on a DVD player to view a vod file? The first 2 converter software's will convert from any format to whatever your player will recognize.

I use to convert MP4 to MPEG2 or make MP4 or anything as it is so easy to use. The results are so good you really can't tell the difference from the original to the copy.

You can use Windows Movie Maker. If it's not installed on your system you can download it from Microsoft (free). It will let you edit your movie and burn it to CD. This is your simplest solution, so don't let all the other suggestions confuse you.

It depends on the format of your files and you haven't stated what that is.

These are the file types that Movie Maker supports: .asf, .avi, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv

If your camera saves the files in a different format, then you would have to convert to one of these and there are many free programs that will do that. Also, I would think your camera came with some type of software to edit and/or convert files. If not, I would check out Canon's site. I've used their printers and still cameras and they generally provide good software for their hardware.

I'd also check out MediaCoder, I've used it for transcoding media formats and it works quite well.

Whatever the original format of your wedding videos is, nearly all kinds of video converter programs support converting them to other popular video and audio formats.

If you would like to make a CD, I suggest you convert them to MPEG or MP4. After converting, you may need a DVD burning software such as ImgBurn to burn the output videos.

If you don't know which video converter to choose, I suggest you try this one: Pavtube Video Converter. It is used to convert files between all popular video/audio formats such as AVI, WMV, MPEG, MPG, MP4, MOV, DV, H.264, 3GP, MP3, AAC, WMA, AC3, and so on.

I prefer the program as its after-sale service is good. Last month, I encountered a problem and sent it to them, they replied and solved my problem on time.

So I think when choosing an appropriate program for ourselves, we should consider not only its quality, functions, but also its after-sale service.

What I use it quick and produces a sharp image. MP4 off YT to MPG2 works with no video/audio sync issues.
