Akemi: A follow on to last nights message. After all this time, last
night was the first time my wife wanted to edit a video. I went to bed
about 1030 and have no idea what time she went to bed. This morning, I
told her that Cinelerra looks like it might be easier to learn than
"The Gimp" and that she can do it. She told me that she installed,
tested and uninstalled several programs, in M$ Windows last night and
that none of them could even open the file..... She said Cinelerra is
the only program she has tried that can open it. The files we seem to
need to edit have .vob extensions and are MPEG2 files. I need to tell
her that when I read the Samsung manual, after we got the Camcorder,
there is a difference between the 2 DVD RW formats. One can be edited
and the other can't, as I recall. The one she used last night is a
DVD+RW so I guess the DVD-RW cannot be edited. I asked her if she had
installed and tried the Samsung software that came with the Camcorder,
but she was so disgusted with the Software that came with a Samsung
MP4 player that she sold it to my Stepson and she did not install
their Software for the Camcorder. :-) Bottom Line: Cinelerra is
the program for us to learn how to use. Lanny
