How to Transfer Mini DVD to MP4 files on a USB.
MP4 files work with everything, as mentioned can be put on a USB drive or uploaded to cloud services such as Dropbox, Google photos. iCloud. Files can be imported into editing software such as iMovie, Adobe Premiere, Microsoft Photo’s video editor and more.
There are ways to do it yourself, you can play through a DVD player, although the DVD’s need to be finalized in the original camcorder first to be playable on any DVD player. There were a few brands of camcorders so they’ll need to be finalized with a Sony etc if recorded on a Sony. Hitachi, Panasonic & Canon made dvd camcorders, although Sony dominated. Dvd camcorders aren’t sold anymore so you’ll have to use eBay, OfferUp or Craigslist to find one. Hopefully it all works, but expect to pay $50-$200 range
You will need a USB capture device such as the one in the video, which is an Elgato brand. It’s about $100. Hook up your camcorder or DVD player to the card and then download the software via elgatos website (free). I recommend going into the settings and boosting the audio to +8, speakers on mobile devices and laptops sometimes don’t pack much of a punch so this will make sure the audio is decent for those devices.
Once you have done that, set the file destination and give it a name to whatever the content is ex: ‘Christmas 2003’ and then hit play on the dvd and record on the software and away you go. Stop when done, you can trim out the blank on the front or back end, save the file and continue on with the next dvd.
