Ahead Nero 6 Ultra Edition have been getting popular these days. At least I think they did since their programs kept get better and better.

Two weeks ago, Brenden showed me how he created “Christmas DVD” which shows digital pictures and video clips with Ahead Nero 6 Ultra Edition. After that, he printed out DVD cover with family picture on it and mail to all of his family members.

Its neat!

Ok – in my case, it was somewhat different because I don’t have i.link from my camcorder. My camcorder is already “old” technology which used VHS-C – I prefer to use 8mm which provide much better quality. Anyway, I am going make nice Christmas DVD just like his idea.

Since I have new Sony DVD recorder that I purchased last month, it made my job little easier. First of all, I inserted VHS-C tape (with adapter) and recorded it into DVD+RW disc. Then I moved this disc to my computer and start using Ahead Nero 6 Ultra Edition – all I need to do is import video clips from DVD and it uploaded for me.

Yes, it took me while to learn all features in it and it wasn’t too bad. I was able to split 4 different “chapters” in 15 minutes video clips. I also added digital pictures as slideshow. Just keep in mind that it will not be as high quality as you see on computer but that’s okay. It’s just for fun and memories.

Finally, I created nice Christmas theme (provided by Nero) among header, footer, name of each chapters and slideshow.

You can take a look what I did – click here. Not bad huh?

Later on, I will experiment with background musical, customized theme and other stuff that I didnt try yet.

You should give it a try sometime
