Just wondering if any of the current crop of self-contained DVD writers / TV
recorders (with built-in HDDs) are half capable of editing my MiniDV films
before burning to DVD? I've used Ulead's VideoStudio 8 in the past but it
crashes too often on my PC, and am now wondering if there's a different
route to try. I'm not after fancy effects - just want to be able to remove
the rubbish, move scenes around and may be add a title or two with DVD
chapters being enabled. (and in my case, without PC crashing during the edit
phase)

Thanks for any insight

If an editor crash's that has little to do with the fact your video source
was a DV camcorder., and more to do with the stabilty of your PC.
Video editing is the only real application which tasks a PC as much as a 3d
game, yet it's amazing how many people expect to be able to edit video on a
PC whic can't run games at all!

To reinforce what John's said, I'd first download EndItAll and run it
before doing any video work. This will close background programs that
might otherwise eat up you computer resources.

OK thanks, I'm not into games, so what spec would you suggest for a PC which
would be stable running Ulead VideoStudio 8 ?
