Re: Video editing software

neftv , what say you to tipstir's allegation that "Videoredo always crash later down the road"?

I'm not trying to start a war here, just trying to avoid getting bit later on.

I been using the VideoRedo for about 10 months without any problems what so ever. I been digitizing my VHS tapes (slowly but surely about 3 a week) using Pinnacle Studio (without issues too). Then using VideoRedo to take those unedited MPEG2 files to edit them and burn to DVD without having to re-encode the video/audio. I not seeing any issues with VideoRedo it just plain works for me. I like this software because it keeps the quality the same when burning to DVD or making an edited MPEG2.
The TV station I worked at use to use Womble and we noticed that anything passing through that software was degraded noticeably. Obviously they didn't want another consumer product so they went with Edius which for home use is overkill but not for a TV station. Anyway, When I found VideoRedo and saw how easy it is and it does not touch the quality of the original file well I had to get it. No render times to deal with.
My computer is a Phenom 9600 with 2 gig of ram and Sata drives. I keep my computer clean from unwanted software etc.

I wanted to add that I also record to hard drive from a Satellite Receiver, in other words the receiver makes the MPEG2 file. I use VideoRedo to make DVDs from that too. Works for me and quality is great.

Well I've been at this since 2003 recording to the HDD using different WDM and PVR software off CATV. Prior to that I made MPEG2 to DVD from these recordings. Also I've use VR you all like to use Womble MPEG-VCR isn't that fancy but you can clip out commercials on the fly and saves in a few seconds depending on the video itself. I have both VR MPEG-VCR but I still enjoy using MPEG-VCR.

You know I am familiar with MPEG Wizard not VCR. I've not used VCR. If this works for you and your happy with it great.
