Ok i used a program called Sonic MyDVD to make a movie but the only problem is i can only play the file in the MyDVD program. Does anyone know of a format converter so that i can make it into a Windows Media Player, i want to post it on the internet but not everyone has the progam. If not does anyone know of a good free movie editing program. Any help is appreciated.

Camtasia Studio 3

Well that almost worked. See my problem is i have the new HP Media Center PC and it has the little input ports in front, the red yellow and white things. I plug my xbox into those and capture my video that way. But i can only capture it in Sonic MYDVD or InterWin Video DVD Creator format. So i need a program that can convert those to another format so i can open them in that CamStudio program. So if anyone has a link to a format converter i would really appreciate that. The formats i capture video in are .dvd and . wcp if it helps any. Thanks for any help.

The software that comes with the integrated capture card should have an option to export.
Whether as a .avi, .wmv, or .mpeg, it really depends.

Search in your program for an option called "export", and there you should have some settings to edit to your liking.

No see thats the problem. I have a windows media center edition pc that has the little red, white and yellow connecters in the front so i just plug my xbox into it, open a program called Sonic MyDVD and click capture and it takes video for me. But i can only save the file as a .dvd which is why i need a converter of some kind. Sorry i forgot to explain that earlier.

I know exactly what you mean.
You have an internal composite capture card. I have two as well.
However, if the program you use to capture the input does not have an export option, then I have no clue why they would even bother to code such a program.
If all it does is capture a .DVD format, then the only way you could convert it without a convertor, would be to burn it to a DVD, then rip it back to your computer as a different kind of encoded file. Such as .AVI or .MOV.
However, if there is a .DVD format, and their program does not export it as something else, then money says that there is a different program out there that they want you to buy in order to convert it.
I will search, but money says that it will be shareware, not freeware.

ok yeah i just realized it does save it as a .mpeg or something like that..but when i edit it in that same program like give it an intro with text or change the effect of it or whatever, it will only save it as a .dvd. If you know of a free program where i can do things like adding a text intro, adding a background song, chnaging the efffect or just about anything i would like that as well. And also thanks for helping me out so fast on this problem.

Save the video as a .MPEG and edit in a different program.
If the program you are using now only saves as a .DVD, then it must be a DVD authoring/editing program.

As lonstart88 said before, you can download different video editing programs, but again, these will most likely be shareware, not freeware.

Do you by chance know of any free programs off the top of your head. Im going to search google i was just hopping you knew some before i spend hours loking for one since most are shareware.
