Hi,
Obviously being quite new to the whole DV Editing world, I have recently bought a DVD burner with a DVD Builder software by Roxio, along with Pinnacle Studio. They are very good programs for the beginner, however limited to what you can do. I would like a software package which allows you to create the final product onto DVD, adding specific menus as like a normal DVD, and also to be creative. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I am a slight perfectionist so everything has to be just right, or otherwise I feel my job has not been done. I currently use a laptop which would limit the installation of a PCI card, however I do have a Firewire IEEE 1394 connected, and do have a PCI card slot at the side of the laptop, where I could connect a 6pin/4pin adpator.
Price range, having looked at the website, some serious applications were looking at serious money, beginners software first, however if it is something which I would like to pursue, which it looks as if I will, probably tops £600! My philosophy, have to speculate to accumulate!!
