Software suggestions

[DonTx]

I hope some you puter wizards will be able to help me.

I'm making a promotional CD. I want to get some short (about 2-3 minutes) movie clips (preferably mpegs) on the CD. What is the best software to do this with? I've surfed ZD Net looking over the reviews and now I'm more confused than ever. I see video editing software ranging from about $50 to several hundred dollars. It looks like the manufactures have several different programs (such as Pinnacle).

Would I be better off getting a camera like a Sony? My Canon will only film about a 10 second clip. I understand the Sony's will film as long as the memory stick has memory.

If I go the software route, I'd also like to burn some family movies to DVD.

Thanks for the help,

Donald

I personally have pinnacle studio, a(cheapest version) and it works very well. It is a simple program to use but you need to make sure you delete the video from the computer after you complete making a disc, it takes up lots of memory. Michael
