I am getting a new system for general and video home edits .
It will include Q6600, 3 HDD [not raid] on XP.
I will apriciate your imput on Any softwere that I may need
in addition or instead of the Adobe I was thinking of:
Premire Elements with Photoshop Elements that I may upgrade later to
the Pro line.

For my edits I have imputs from 3 sources:
1.NTSC VHS taes of camcorder footage and TV prog.
2.NTSC mini DV
3. PAL mini DV
I need to begin edit and then burn to DVD's the outcome - In Pal and/
or NTSC .

How about the workflow ? what are your thoughts re Copies of the raw
and the final ???
in what format how many copies and to what do I save the raw and the
final outcome:
HD , mini DV and/Or DVD's ???

What else/ more do I want or need in softs for authoring , converting
PAL = NTSC and burning ???
