I downloaded AVS and made a video with it and was very happy with how it came out but because i didnt actually buy I can't put it on youtube like I wanted, so I'm considering buying it. It's kind of pricey so I'm very cautious to buy it. Does anyone know if AVS is worth the $60? Or if there are any other cheaper (or free!) alternatives. I also downloaded trakAxPc for a free trial but it's very confusing and too complicated for me. Also I have an HP laptop.
Answer
Right now that $60 licenses all of AVS titles. I bought the same license a few years ago for $100, it's been well worth it, their apps are cool, their support is responsive. And their video converter will put it on youtube. So yeah, go for it, $60 is a deal.

How to you play & store HD home videos on your tv?
We are thinking about getting our first digital camcorder for the family for Christmas, one that does HD videos. But I don't understand how you play them back on your tv. I mean we can burn them to a DVD disk, but that wouldn't be HD, correct (not blueray)? Do you have to use the camcorder to play them back on the tv, that's not convenient. I'm confused, please help! =)
Answer
Rugratzzzzzzz and iridflare are both correct.
Recap:
1) Use the camcorder to store the video and playback. Not practical for hard disc drive camcorders. Expensive for flash memory - and flash memory is not a good long term archive. Neither is hard disc drive... As well, this does not allow any editing of the video. Camcorders enerally record to formats that editors adn other converters can read and import - but cannot export to...
2) Use a digital tape based camcorder. This is actually the "best" solution. Import the video using firewire, edit, export the video back out to the digital tape. I sometimes do this to two tapes - one tape gets put away as the long term archive, the other can be used by playing back with the camcorder so high definition video can be viewed.
3) You are correct, if you use a DVD authoring application and burn a regular single layer or double layer DVD, that will be downsampled to standard definition, but it will be the clearest standard def you've seen. Because the discs are cheap and this is the most common format for sharing, it is a method I continue to use.
3a) It is possible to use a DVD burner to save the high definition video files onto single layer or double layer DVDs. They do not hold much space (4.7 and 8.5 gig, respectively) when compared to BluRay blanks (that start at 25 gig), so the amount of video that can be stored on single or double layer DVDs (if high definition) is a lot less.
4) Use a "media center" type device capable of dealing with high definition video. An example of this is AppleTV. Workflow would include importing the video, editing, then rendering the edited video to a high quality, high definition video format (h.264/AVC). For sharing with others, if the file size, video length and file type are appropriate (typically AVI or MOV files), then these can be uploaded to video sharing sites like vimeo and youtube (and secured if desired to limit the viewers) and 720p high definition is presented.
4a) Use whatever computer happens to be available - that can deal with high definition video. Most HDTVs have a VGA port. have connected a laptop to the HDTV's VGA and audio connections and used it as the playback "deck" for the 720p rendered high definition video.
With 4 and 4a, use of a "NAS" (network attached storage) is advantageous so you do not need to store the huge video files on a computer normally used day-to-day. Many NAS systems are RAIDed so when one drive fails, the other still has the video - and replacing the failed drive gets the working drive's files written to the replaced drive - so the possibility of loss of data is not generally expected. Since the NAS is on your home network, any computer on the network has access to the video.
