Happy Holidays everyone! How's your holiday week been so far? I've been busy traveling to Poland, making a new video product, making graphics for one of Joe's products, and planning a new free video resource that will knock your socks off! You can see my Poland videos here. My new joint venture fitness product, WinTheFitnessGame.com.
Would you like to drink a healthy margarita? I would too and that's what we're all getting as soon as Joe okays his first batch of Fitarita. Mmmmmm. Would you like to learn all about video at your own pace and for free? I prefer that too. That's why my next venture will knock your socks off--so stay tuned!

Video DVD Maker FREE
******************************************************
Why would anyone want a software that only burns video DVDs? Because not all video making programs offer this option to customers.
For example, let's look at Windows Movie Maker, a free software already on your PC. It let's users output to tape/camera, web video, archive computer files, mpeg, and VCD. But not DVD. And Movie Maker isn't the only one that doesn't offer output to DVD. Maybe that output costs too much money -- I dont know. Regardless, there is a need for people to have a program that burns Video DVDs.
And that program now available. You can download "Video DVD Maker FREE" here.
Do you need a free data DVD burner? Download "Burn4Free" here.
