I have a little Samsung sc-d363 miniDV cam. I bought it open box at a circuit city. I'm wondering what the best program is for transferring my video to my computer and editing it. I would also like to put it onto DVD. I'm new to this, so try to suggest an easy to use one.
Do I need a firewire input on my PC to stream the video to my PC? The cam didn't even come with any software or instructions.
Thanks.

Video editing software?
Satan
I am starting to record some videos and put them together to make some cool video clips. Can anyone suggest ANY FREE software that can do anything with my videos?
Thanks.

Photobucket is a great web based and FREE editing tools. The software behind it comes from Adobe who make some of the best commercial ($$$) photo and video editors. If you need/want more features downloading VideoSpin or VideoThang are great options. Still free, but you have to download the software. For under $100 you can buy Adobe Premiere Elements.
