Hello Diane,
More information on exactly what you're using would be helpful. Information
like the version of Easy CD Creator, other software you used/tried and with
what and how you transferred the video from the camcorder to the computer.
Based on what you stated (the warning from Video CD Creator), I think you
need video authoring software to edit the videos files after you have them
on the computer. Your camcorder and firewire card may have had software with
them. There are a lot of free programs available too. A search at these
sites is bound to turn up something:

Snapfiles

CNETs Download.com

Also, you might think about investing in a DVD±RW. Prices are reasonable now
($80±) and all have bundled software for basic recordings.
The type of CD-R can make a world of difference too. For video CDs always
use "Digital Audio" CDs. Some are labeled "Music" but if you look at the CD
logo it will state "Digital Audio". Most of what you find on store shelves
are the cheaper CD-Rs intended for data.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Video to CD
I tried to copy my video from my digital camcorder to a CDR. Everything
looked fine on my computer. But after copying it to a CD, and playing it
on my DVD player, the sound was a little before the picture, so they
weren't in sinc. I'm running Win98se, using Roxio ECDC. It wouldn't
copy it in the video section, so I had to use the data section.
My DVD player plays all sorts of CD's, so I don't think that's the
problem. I think it's in transferring it to CD. I don't have a DVD
recorder on my computer. The files are mpg files.
When I use the Video recording part of ECDC, it says that the files won't
work in a VCD player. Says I need to use an MPEG encoder that supports
Video CD encoding.
