My Panasonic NV GS 250 broke and I borrowed someones SonyDCR DVD850 for a function last night. (The results look bad!!!) . In the past I have edited on Motion DV from Panasonic, encoded with TMPG, etc.

Now I have 29 short MPG clips!! How do I add them together, edit, and does it need any encoding before I burn to DVD.

I was thinking of linking them together, convert to AVI, then edit in Windows Moviemaker, or what should I do to edit?

I am quite familiar with Virtualdub, DVD Shrink, etc

I have ordered a Canon HV 40, and I suppose that will be a learning curve as well.

Thanks for any advice
