This site is incredible, don't get me wrong. It has a lot of excellant intellectual posters and if there's a problem it can pretty much always be solved.
The problem that I have is that I have absolutely no idea where to post questions. My threads keep getting moved and I get complaints that I'm not putting things in the right area.
My thought is, why not a section where one can ask a question and someone can point them to the correct area to post it? Seems silly, I know, but it would prevent putting things in the wrong area-- and let's face it, there are so many categories here that one-- especially a new one-- could get lost very easy.
For example, right now I'm looking for a good, free, gui VOB editor to cut out some scenes from a project I started. The software that came with my cam is crap so I'm looking for something to replace it.
Now, I could place that question in:
DVD authoring
Advanced DVD authoring
IFO/VOB Editors
One of those surely would be the right place, but I'm more then likely going to get a lot of flak before I find it, or be bounced around for days until I hit the right space.
Of course, I could post my question in all 3, but that would be a form of spamming the boards which would obviously upset a lot of people as well.
It's very intimidating when you're trying to get started and nobody wants to step on anyone's toes.
Thanks!
