Tech Question re movie files

[nedswife]

Hi there everyone, I have taken some short video on my digital camera, uploaded them onto my pc, and now want to burn them onto a dvd or cd to send to someone else.

I am using the camera software to burn to disc, and it comes up that the files have been sucessfully added, however, when I put the disc in pc or dvd player, the files aren't there.

They came off my camera in bmp. form, and the next lot of video I took suddenly were .mov form.

Do I have to convert them to something else? I don't know a lot about this stuff so can somebody please help?

thanks for your help,
Nedswife.
