With technology progressing at its current rate the world of home entertainment is a totally different animal to ten years ago. It's now possible to produce professional looking recordings from home with the right equipment and a little knowledge. There are just so many things that you can try. But first,

1~First you must transfer all your valuable VHS tapes to DVD. This isn't a difficult task if you have a DVD writer; all you will need to do is to connect this to your VCR or camcorder and in no time your precious pictures will be transferred for ever (well, at present a DVD is expected to last between thirty and one hundred years). There are different types of DVD and it is important to buy the one you need:
a. You can buy rewritable DVDs (DVD RW) that will allow you to use the disc over and over again.
b.~Alternatively you can use 'once only' DVDs that can never be recorded over.
c.~It is possible to buy a double layer DVD that holds additional storage.

2~You can edit out all the bits that really weren't quite the ticket. For instance, when Auntie Mabel left the camera on and it videoed the ceiling for five minutes or if you'd like to cut someone out of the shot. Anything is now possible and is a very simple operation.

3~You can add background music throughout or you can fade different pieces in and out. You can write and record a voice over for the whole DVD (tip, it's easier to write the script to the pictures rather than to write a script and then try to find the right length of pictures to go alongside).

4~You can write your opening and closing credits and any other witty captions that you feel could add something to the finished film.

5~If you've just returned from holiday you can combine your camcorder footage along with your photos to create a slideshow. If you have a birthday coming up or you'd like to give a special present to a loved one, what better than putting your own pictures together on a DVD and giving it as a unique and very special present?

6~Not only can you buy professional cases for your DVD but you can either buy stick on labels or even a relatively cheap printer that will print directly onto the DVD. This can be achieved in such a professional manner that very few people would be able to tell the difference between a mass produced item and one created on a home computer.

People in the video industry are disturbed that such specialist work can be achieved from a lap top computer whilst watching the TV. Every part of a professional DVD is available to everyone and gives us all the chance to show our holiday snaps off in a far more entertaining manner than we could a few years ago.
