I just purchased a Pioneer DVR-112D DVD burner for my PC. I bought it OEM from NewEgg, so it did not come with any SOFTWARE. I am new to the whole DVD burning thing. Right now I just want to be able to burn data for backups and create movies/slideshows from my digital CAMCORDER and camera.

I have played with Windows Movie Maker 2, and I know that it is not directly able to burn to DVD, but that some software can convert the output of MM2 to DVD format.

Of course I love freeware, but would be willing to pay for an all-in-one suite (Nero, Roxio, etc), if it is worth the money. Upon searching the forums, I have stumbled on recommendations for DeepBurner for data, and DVD Flick for media.

What are some good movie making programs? I currently only have 512 MB of RAM, so that may be an issue. I would rather try before I buy to make sure that I like the way they turn out before pony up.

Is it best to diversify and GET a good movie making ONLY program rather than one that comes in a suite of burning tools, and then use something basic (free perhaps) to burn straight data?

PKWhat OS are you using?
If your using win XP or Vista then I would suggest Adobe Premiere element 3.0.
Its not a cheap program but it can do like everything you will ever want.
Plus it is able of burning.
