HELP WITH VIDEO

[hardwater Rick]

Happy new Year first
hopefully someone can help me out. I got the new camcorder for xmas
installed a firwire card, and I am using windows movie maker.. I can get the video's
in there and watch them.. which is a start. I would like to put them on DVD and hopefully post some fishing ones on here.. and guess what.. I cannot figure it out
maybe they are to big, but the program won't let me save them on a disk or e-mail some.  Is there some better software I should get? the pull downs for finish movie
like save to CD or e-mail are not high lighted to use.. can any of you give me some tips please, and what do you use for software.. I am halfway there. got them on my PC anyway LOL  seams that's as far as I can get. any help would be appreciated
thank you  if you would like you can PM me or send me an e-mail [email protected]     thanks

This is the program I use to make quick vids for the site. It's free, very light on the pc and real easy to get started making flicks.
