Home video is a blanket term used for pre-recorded media that is either sold or hired for home entertainment. The term originates from the VHS/Betamax era but has carried over into the current DVD/Blu-ray Disc age. The first company to duplicate and distribute home video was Magnetic Video, established in 1968. The home video business distributes films, telemovies and television series in the form of videos in various formats to the public. These are either bought or rented, then watched privately from the comfort of home by consumers. Most theatrically released films are now released on DVD-Video, replacing the largely obsolete VHS (Video Home System) medium. The VCD format remains popular in Asia, though DVDs are gradually gaining popularity. Prior to the advent of home video in the late 1970s, most feature films were inaccessible after their theatrical runs, only viewable in re-releases and television broadcasts. Home video release usually follows five or six months after the theatrical release, although recently more films have been arriving on video after three or four months. (Christmas and other holiday-related movies are generally not released on home video until the following year when that holiday is celebrated again.) A time period is often allowed to elapse between the end of theatrical release and the DVD/VHS release, as an effort to discourage piracy, or at least minimize the effect of piracy on the profitability of the theatrical release. Many TV programs are now also available in complete seasons on DVD. It has become popular practice for defunct TV shows to be released to DVD one season at a time every few months, and active shows to be released on DVD after the end of each season. Prior to the television DVDs, most television shows were only viewable in syndication, or on limited 'best of' VHS releases of selected episodes. These copyrighted movies and programs generally have legal restrictions on them preventing them from (amongst other things) being shown in public venues, shown to other people for money, or copied for other than fair use purposes (although such ability is limited by some jurisdictionas and media formats: see below). There is great controversy about recent attempts to increase protections for rights owners using technical means such as Macrovision and CSS, and by the enactment of laws such as the DMCA, potentially hindering otherwise-lawful "fair-use" rights. Major United States players in the home video business include Blockbuster Video and Netflix. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I have burned some home videos using this software. Some work in my dvd player but some don't.They all play in my computer dvd player. What do I need to do? Thanks Asked by BradleyB - Thu Feb 26 20:58:05 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hello! According to your description, there are two possibilities. Firstly, maybe the DVD discs only compatible with your computer but not your player. As movie maker has its own weak points.You can play your DVD discs in another good DVD player.If so, you'd better change a DVD creator, i often use xilisoft, it works pretty well. Secondly, maybe there are some matters with your dvd player, you can play some other DVD discs that work well for testing. Hope that can help you!

I know it's really easy to do on a Mac, and I'm wondering if there is an equivalent software on Windows that I can use to edit home videos. Asked by ChoobiesMom - Fri Dec 2 15:53:56 2005 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. I don't know if it's "the best" but it's definitely easy to use and offers more than just the basics. It's Windows Movie Maker which comes with Windows XP. Allows you to import clips, including importing footage from a camcorder etc. There's a wide variety of output options in terms of quality, and actually editing and mixing your video is easy. Dozens of transitions, fades, brightness filters, effects, volume adjustments etc. and you can add in music of your own as well. I use it all the time to edit my digital camera movie clips as well as ones I take with my Sony Handycam. P.S. - The latest update (2.1) offers DVD burning capabilities - Answered by Sbacon - Mon Dec 5 12:40:35 2005 How do I transer my home videos to dvd's?
