I am a novice with basic experience in home movie production. I received a new Samsung digital camcorder model SCD23 for Christmas. I bought a Adaptec 4300 fireware card which plugs into the DV port of my camera. I have been successful in capturing files into a couple of video editing programs such as Microsoft Movie maker which came with the XP software - was able to burn to a CD and played back using the same program. I am now trying the MGI VideoWave 4 software which was bundled with the FireConnect 4300 card.
I have started reading from various internet sites about all the various types of "codec" conversions and etc. I understand the basics, however, I would like for someone in the video/media field to point me in the right direction. Basically, I wish to do the following.
1. video/audio editing from my DV camera
2. Capture VHS, 8mm tapes to CD's
3. Program to burn these to CD-R or CD-RW I don't have a DVD burner yet. I would like to be able to play thse CD-R or CD-RW to my DVD player...
I realize these are two areas: First, I need a simple and direct approach for #1...The best software for video capturing from my digital camcorder,editing, and finally burning to a CD-R or CD-RW my finished product...I have read about Roxio Version 6 will do everything, but not sure...I hear so many pluses and minus about various programs..I just want a simple and direct approach as to the best direction to take...
Later, I want to do analog capturing....I don't have the abilities with this dv camera to do analog to digital pass through...So I would have to get some type of analog board...Maybe somebody will address these two issues...If this is too much, then just do the first area....
Thanks for any assistance to these projects...I know there is somebody out there in the digital world that can point me in the right direction....
