Ok, you may have guessed by now that I have very little idea what I'm doing when it comes to editing and computer related topics.
Does anyone know how to transfer films off my computer (Windows Movie Maker) onto a video?

What camcorder model are you exporting to? Let me know that and i can give exact directions.

Its a Sharp camera. It says VL-WD450E on the box. That help?

1 - first thing is to check that you are using movie maker 2.0. 1.1 doesnt support export to tape.

2 - file -> save movie file.

3 - choose dv camera from the list. follow directions.

4 - set your camcorder to VTR mode and press the record button, it should enter a paused record state.

5 - begin export to camera, the camera should automatically exit pause mode and begin recording. If not, press play on the camera to begin recording.

Let me know if you have any more trouble.

Yeah its version 2. I'll give it a go next chance I get.
Thanks for the help.
