I'm not getting into the PC versus Mac debate, it's been done to death here and elsewhere but if you could give some more details about what you want to do with the video, is it standard def or hi def you want to work with, do you want to connect up a mini dv cam, HDD, mini DVD or some other format? Do you want the latest software for just editing, do you want to do special effects, work with audio? And I suppose the most important question is, how much do you want to spend?
