Avid Free DV doesn't open the files from my digital still camera for example (neither does Movie Maker). I answer Movie Maker when people ask for free, but really recommend spending the $30 on Quicktime Pro - even if one's on a budget. MM is drag-drop, but QT Pro is cut-paste which was fine for people I've introduced it for. MM can do very few things QT Pro can't (transitions being the big one), and QT Pro does other things easier (multiple audio tracks, and voice-overs) plus you get the multiple export options in QT Pro. > For non-technical vloggers who have no prior video editing experience > Windows Movie Maker 2 is a good entry point.

MM does have that option. When exporting choose DV-PAL (or DV-NTSC if you're on an American version of Windows). You can open that file in QT Pro and export to whatever you want. - Andreas -- <URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ > Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. Yahoo!
