Hi
I am new here and recently have started to do so digital
video editing with Clips from my Fuji F-601 digital still camera,
Using arcsoft videoimpressive, This has sparked an interest
in my wife and I to aquire a DV camcorder to do this stuff right.
I am however a little concerned if my current system is up to the
task or not.
Specs: P3 866 Cpu on asus cuv4x motherboard, Vision teck G3 Ti200
video card 64mb ddr , 1 gig Pc133 SDRam, 30Gb 7200rpm HD,
Abought half full, I can possibly add another HD to handle Video
only no problem. cd&cdrw
Questions Are

1.Will This System be practically useably To dable in making home VCD's

2. Any recomendations on reasonably priced software for this purpose
Abobe premire Just too expensive.
3. Camers At this point I am looking at a Sony Digital 8 Camera & or
a Sony DV Camera, What is the best for what we want to do, Main purpose would be to create home type movies of grandkids and family
special occasions ect Recomendations welcomed. Would prefer a smaller
more portable camera but cost is also a big factor.
