Can I produce dvd quality film with a Canon Vixia HG 20(it has 1920 by 1080)? Or will I need to buy a bigger one ,say Canon XH A1?</p> <p>2. Any software editing software recommendations? </p> <p>3. Is it standard fare to record with multiple camcorders?</p> <p>4. WIll I need special lighting when I record the kid's in the white background? If so any equipment recommendation</p> <p>5. Can I rent the equipment instead, and where are good places to buy in the LA area?</p> <p>6. Any other suggestions?</p> <p>7.Thanks so much, Jeff C. </p>
