8 mm film - the background story of the production of the above YouTube movies

Home DVD production
Since 2009 I have had the technology to edit digital home movie footage and transfer to DVD. This has been a learning process! Films shot with my JVC Mini DV video camera and Flip video have been edited with Windows Movie Maker, and I use Polderbits to design and burn the DVDs. In 2010 I first made labels for DVDs, and stuck them on with the help of a CD Stomper. See Stomp Inc. The CD Stomper is no longer marketed although you can buy CD Stomper labels in Staples/Business Depot. You can still get the CD Stomper kit including labelling software via e-Bay. I did, and have been using the labelling software, even though it leaves a 4 cm. circle in the middle unprinted. Most DVDs only have a 2 cm. unprinted circle. In fact I now own two stompers and would be happy to sell one locally. I do not recommend making lables for CDs, because they can unstick in a car CD system which can get very hot, and ruin the CD system. (Better to use a CD/DVD Sharpie felt pen.) I do use them for DVD lavels.
Movie Maker and Windows 7 help and advice.
