Pinnacle Studio does the job at a decent price and has lots of effects, transitions etc. You can spend a shed load of cash if you want to though, depends really what you want to do but for editing meetings Pinnacle would do the job fine.

Guest Trash Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I don't have firewire Jamesy. I use a free program called mplayer getdvd2 which you use to rip the dvd disc to your hard drive. When it rips it, it converts it to an MPEG file which is readable by Pinnacle. There is a bit about it here http://videofriends.goldenpenproductions.c...page=2&key= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scrapman53 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Firewire is just a port that your video camera plugs into. It's much faster than USB so capturing is made quicker. You can buy a Firewire card quite cheap I would think and it plugs into a PCI slot on your motherboard. But if your camera uses DVDs to record onto, Stu's method will be best.

jamesy Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 thanks for the helps guys,one thing though is lots of diffrent dvd players are either r+ or r- is it possable to buy region free or x dvd disc's? as that could cause me a headache when producing them for resale. martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Trash Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Did you rip the footage to your PC using an mpeg converter? Pinnacle wont read standard DVD formats if you are putting the DVD disc straight into the computer to try and edit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
