VirtualDub is a good AVI editor. Also, I think the VideoLan (VLC) team are releasing a video editor soon.
- Yes, an uncompressed VOB file should be quite large. It's roughly the same size as an hr long AVI file (if both use the same resolution and are uncompressed).Thanks guys!
Chris, I wonder if an VOB file was uncompressed. I've just backed up an one hour plus video to a single layer DVD disc (4.7GB) by using DVD recorder. And I had once used my computer to capture an one hour video from a DV tape. It was in AVI fromat. If I remember correctly, it was a lot bigger than 4.7GB.
demolidor, is it really possible to back up the digital data from a DV tape without converting it to other video formats?
Any opinions on the Panasonic? I haven't checked out the price in the shops

- There are good and bad abt recording into a HDD and using solid state media (like SD card)....The only disadvantage in the HDD is that the HDD might fail. Less chance of that with solid state media, right?
My friends have advised me to use Mac for the video editing. Any opinions on that?
- As for using Mac to do the video editing, are you planning to get one, too??Personally, i've no experience w/using a Mac to edit videos. However, if that were actually true, then don't you think there would be much more people turning and buying a Mac, just to do the video editing??.
...
Have you asked your friend what are the advantages of using a Mac over a PC, to do video editing?
Oh, and i'd like to share this link (pretty much sums up the differences):

..wow, is that for a 32 GB SDHC??..do they sell even cheaper in mainland China??I think SDHC cards are very cheap in Hong Kong. You can get a class 6, 32 GB SDHC card for about US$40. They will become even cheaper in a few months' time.
..sure. That may all be true and the article is outdated.How old is that article? Macs runs on Intel now. In fact, at some time, the fastest laptop to run Windows on is in fact a Macbook Pro (not sure if that's still true).
...
..so, does that mean you're gonna get a new Mac, too?.....
I do know people who have moved from PC to Mac specifically because the iMovie software has made it so easy. These are not the hard core movie makers but guys with families needing to record memories. They've found software available for PCs difficult to use and when they tried iMovie, it was straightforward.
So you see how desperately difficult it has been for some people to enjoy videoeditingPressure of work and family doesn't allow a person to spend time on multiple hobbies.
