Leonel, You don't have to ALWAYS edit in AVI format, but you'll have fewer headaches if you do. Instead of getting a DVD camcorder, try getting a mini-DV camera. These record to tapes, instead of DVD discs. The downside is, you can't pop them in a DVD player. However, the upside is that you can transfer directly to Premiere, and the video is saved in the AVI format. So no conversion is necessary, and your camera will be supported by Premiere. This is not true of DVD recording cameras.

I like to edit all my shots on Premiere, so which one should I buy? I don't wanna spend hours capturing from the camera to the PC, and then converting all mpeg to avi so I can edit it on the Adobe Premiere. I don't know if it is possible not to do that, I was told that the DVD camcores record mpeg files, so it is easy to see directly what you just shot on your DVD player, but if you wanna edit it (I always wanna do that) you have to convert everything to avi . So, am I right and have to edit always in AVI? And is there any camcorder that can record in AVI or something like that? Thank you in advance and this group is cool! I can't stop learning from you!
