However, this may still get long: I want to create a sports highlight film on DVD. Some of my clips are on my Dish Network DVR and others on VHS. Question #1) Do I need to get a DVD Recorder with RAM to be able to pause and restart recording so that I can get all the clips from various sources onto 1 DVD seamlessly? Question #2) I also want to go back and edit this on the computer adding music and maybe still pictures. Wouldn't it just be easier to make it into a DVD on the DVDR first, then put the DVD in the computer and edit from there? Is that possible or would I have to connect my PC to all these sources and edit from there? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated and God bless you in advance! |

So if I understand it right I will be able to edit a DVD made on my DVD Recorder using my PC as long as I have an authoring program, right? Do you mind recommending the program that you use? Does it require a ton of space? I have an 'older' (2002)computer that is already prone to spazzing out. |

RAM is really cheap after rebates these days if you don't have that much. The program is free for 30 days, then it's $70 to buy. Defrag your hard drive before installing and using, it will work better. http://www.pegasys-inc.com/en/download/tda16.html |
