One might also go with the U-Lead video editing software if the cost of Adobe Premiere is too high. For sound editing I like to use Cool Edit (shareware from www.syntrillium.com), which I actually like better than Sound Edit on the Mac. Media Cleaner will take care of all compression needs, though I also use a very nice shareware program by Opticom to do Fraunhofer encoding of .mp3 files. I have seen IEEE-1394 boards with U-Lead video editing software for less than $100. You simply hook up your VHS VCR to your digital video camera, digitize the video, then upload it to the hard disk via IEEE-1394 ("firewire" cable) for editing, and later compression. The whole thing has become extremely cheap and effective. I still prefer the Sorenson codec add-on to Media Cleaner for digital video compression, though before I did that I just used the free Cinepak codec, which worked too. I mostly use Quicktime for Windows for the video, though I used to use Real Producer to do video and audio. All that being said: I prefer to work on the Mac for video, but on the PC for audio, but have done both kinds of work on both platforms. It is a great time to be working with digital video!
