DVD+R Help

Ok guys, I have a tricky question for all of you. I have a DVD+/-R drive and I can burn(I mean "backup") movies and all that good stuff but here is the tricky part. I want to take personal movie clips from my computer and burn them on a DVDR that will play in a reglar dvd player. Is it possible and how can I do it?
Thx in advance for any and all help

yea, you can do it, all you need is a capture card or firewire, depending on your camera, and then the software to author the dvd's. if you have firewire on your cam (minidv or hi8) then you can capture that way, and then just use somthing like nero's authoring prog or whatever came with your burner. its a bit more complicated if you don't have firewire, because you will need some hardware to capture it

yuoll need some software. If your burner came with roxio it usualy has not too hard to use software for assembling video clips together for a dvd, but theres many more advaced programso ut there. any video editing software would work
