I was just helping a friend this week figure out how to import clips from a new HD camcorder onto his Windows machine. Since I use a mac, I am learning myself. The difficult part is getting clips so Movie Maker will recognize them. we used MPEG Streamclip to convert files: http://www.squared5.com/ My friend didn't mind Movie Maker too much, but I also showed him how to do simple editing in QT Pro. Ill definitely send him a link Virtual dub. its too bad one lightweight program doesnt do it all on the PC. Jay -- http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790
