hi graham,
i still haven't had time to install the trial of video studio.
i will take you advise and start with this package.
that is scary - pinnacle being hard to get rid of.
well, i doubt that i recorded anything well, as i am still pretty clueless
about the whole process <smile>.
i'll check back in once i have tried video studio.
thank you so much for all of your help.
