The program is Composer FX Movie I put together a short video tutorial and review here: <a href="http://www.howtovideopro.com/public/190.cfm" rel="nofollow">http://www.howtovideopro.com/public/190.cfm</a> The program is not perfect, but you can get some really great looking results fast. I have no relationship with this company other than as a satisfied customer.

I have just about decided on the HG10, but I would like some last minute help before making the purchase. My main purpose is to record high school soccer games. I am a high school coach and a teacher. We review the game videos to analyze the games so I would like to have as much detail as possible. We also have a lot of requests from players for highlight videos to send to college coaches and to keep as family videos. I also make instructional soccer videos for my players. I am not doing anything on a commercial basis, but I do like to have high quality videos. These are action videos and I usually like to break them down into slow motion and freeze some of the frames to demonstrate skills. Most of our games are played at night. We play in stadiums and the lighting is usually good. I know that this camera produces AVCHD format. I will be editing with a Mac Pro Intel Dual Processor which currently has 3G of RAM. I plan to import the video using iMovie 08 and then edit with either iMovie 08 or HD6 and then use iDVD to produce the DVD's. I am looking for advice. Is this the best camera and is High Def the best way to go here? Thanks for the help!

I would recommend buying an older DV camera with analog inputs and using it as the converter. I recently found one at a pawn shop for $50 and it works great for converting my VHS. sheepdog on "archiving vhs to mini-dv?" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/archiving-vhs-to-mini-dv#post-33735 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 22:45:50 +0000 sheepdog 33735@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ I have a Canopus ADVC-100, it works great. jburkhart on "archiving vhs to mini-dv?" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/archiving-vhs-to-mini-dv#post-33731 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 16:52:57 +0000 jburkhart 33731@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ Yes, it looks like that model of Sony Camcorder doesn't come with any analog inputs. You could use a device like the <a href="http://canopus.com/products/ADVC110/index.php">Canopus ADVC110</a> to do the conversion for you and come out DV that you could record onto your camcorder. We've used that model here to take some S-vhs footage and move it onto mini-DV with no troubles. giantonion on "archiving vhs to mini-dv?" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/archiving-vhs-to-mini-dv#post-33728 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 12:45:15 +0000 giantonion 33728@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ I just recently purchased the Sony DCR HC 48 Handycam... after scouring Apple's iMovie discussion boards, it appears as though I will NOT be able to transfer VHS footage digitally using this camcorder as a pass through. This is definitely a problem for me, as I was hoping to archive many VHS tapes to mini-dv. The emphasis is to archive to mini-dv as opposed to importing all vhs footage directly into iMovie, which could ultimately tie up my internal hard drive (I would like to go through the tapes and edit them at a later date). If I buy an analog to digital converter, do you know if I can somehow transfer the vhs to a mini-dv cassette with this approach? Again, I would prefer not to directly copy footage into the computer. What about investing in a vcr/mini-dv unit such as the one linked below? It appears as though they are no longer manufacturing these but, given my situation, and the number of tapes I am hoping to archive (and eventually edit), it may be a wise purchase. <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/JVC-SR-VS30U-Mini-DV-S-VHS-VCR_W0QQitemZ110189573382QQihZ001QQcategoryZ3318QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/JVC-SR-VS30U-Mini-DV-S-VHS-VCR_W0QQitemZ110189573382QQihZ001QQcategoryZ3318QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/JVC-SR-VS30U-Mini-DV-S-VHS-VCR_W0QQitemZ110189573382QQihZ001QQcategoryZ3318QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a> </a> Please write when you have a moment.
