Can anyone suggest a good video editing software to buy or download as i will shorty be going on holiday with a camcorder and would like to do a good dvd when i get home.
Google for "Avidemux" for editing and "Format Factory" for converting files.
Both FREE and I use them both regularly.
I convert video files to MPG and then edit.
Hope this helps.
You'll already have windows movie maker installed, I'd give that a go before trying anything else (depending what version of windows you have it can be pretty good)
I tried windows movie maker but found that it was limited in that you had to convert files and such like. But it did work.
I find that VideoReDo does an excellent job. I use it in conjunction with DVD flick and find it very easy to use.
