How To Make a Simple DVD from YouTube Video followed

Are you an avid YouTube fan? Do you eagerly download videos from the site? Do you want to test your newly installed DVD burner? Well, control your excitement. Here are some easy-to-follow steps on how you can create a simple DVD out of your YouTube videos: * Download the necessary freeware applications. Search the net for a DVDAuthor and a FFMpeg. They are both lightweight, user-friendly, and suitable for Linux and Windows. Once you have downloaded them, you can readily unzip and run them anywhere. * Be familiar with the common YouTube video types. YouTube commonly showcases FLV1 videos. Note, however, that this is not an exclusive arrangement. Realize that FLV1 videos have the following specifications: size, 320 x 240 pixels and audio track (mono, in 22050 Mhz). * Know the adjustments to your videos from YouTube to DVD. The aspect ratio of your YouTube videos has to be adjusted to fit the DVD setting. Your YouTube Videos have to become letter boxed (16:9). The conversion is successful when you notice the black bars, both at the top and at the bottom of your DVD monitor. Meanwhile, if your YouTube videos are already in letter boxed format, simply leave them alone. * Learn about your DVD player. How do you plan to playback your DVD? Is it in NTSC or in PAL? If your player is manufactured here in the US and in Japan, it is more likely to be NTSC. Other countries use the PAL player. Double-check to avoid playback hassles. * Understand the basic conversion steps. Look for a command string for FFMpeg. The command string allows you to convert FLV1 videos into MPEG2 videos. You can Google the command string by typing these key words: FLV1, MPEG2, "DVD-able," or ffmpeg.exe. After you have found the command string to your text editor, apply the adjustments. Then, save it as "filename of your choice.bat". Other options in the command string may ask you to choose between NTSC and PAL and between "4.3" and "16:9." Choose what is applicable. The next step requires you to cover all your YouTube videos in one batch file. After that, save and run. Wait until all your YouTube videos are fully converted. The conversion time may be lesser than the actual total running time of all your YouTube videos put together. Be patient if you have a lot of You Tube videos to convert. The time may also be longer if you want to the full size for your DVD version. After the conversion is done, prepare to "author" your MPEG2 videos. Follow the prompts and replace some portions or aspects to fit your specific needs. You can run your DVDAuthor after you have made a separate batch file for it. You can use "dvdauthor.xml" as your batch file name. Finish the process by putting a blank DVD right into your burner. Don't let the steps overwhelm you. When you actually work on them, they are really less complicated. They simply require you to fill in a number of blanks. Aside from what was recommended earlier, you can also use LightningUK's ImgBurn as your freeware burning application. -- http://updatenewsarena.blogspot.com Are you an avid YouTube fan?
