I got one last year and of course started pilling up the movies. Now its time to back-up the movies and, more importantly, put some togehter for family and friends.
Im looking for some reccomendations or thoughts or experience with programs like Pinnacle and Sony vegas. Easy of use and PRICE ( I am far from rich) are big factors for me when considering the software. I don't plan on doing a professional job here but something nice and cool for everybody. I had heard there were some problems dealing with the type of files the Handycam puts out when it comes to editiing and such. Anyways just looking for any advice that can be given. Thanks ahead of time and love the forum!

Is this a miniDV camcorder - or better put on what media does this write and is there a firewire / 1394/ iLink connecter on the camcorder? If its (mini)DV then you can use a cheap 1394 pci card to transfer the movies and any DV compatible software to edit it.
