Re: Can you recommend a DVD authoring program?

I know this thread was a while ago, but I'm tearing my hair out with authoring at the moment.

Re: Taking the Plunge

I had (well still do have) a 1 ccd Sony the TRV350e (I think), but have coveted my friends Canon XL4 ? and been grumpy about the sony since, Part of me's reluctant to give up Mini DV but I guess it's going the way of all flesh and you save so much power that way.

Taking the Plunge

Hello I'm off to the ProVideo 2010 at the Ricoh on Wednesday, with every intention of spending a nearly scary amount of money on the Sony HDR-AX2000E. Since I'm taking the day of work to go, can anyone offer any experience on a) whether this is a good bet for the money, (does it really have no manua...
