What is Audacity?. VideoFactory doesn’t come with an audio editor and I need one to take the DV Camcorder audio and stick it onto a CD. Here’s an open source one. One of the highest hits from Google. The other was GoldWave. It uses Lame Encoder to create MPEG files.…

Video Production. A great web site that explains what products you need to author. I tend to agree with him that VideoFactory is probably the easiest product to edit. I have tried the Ken Burns effects (it’s not that discoverable ;-), but will try them. Has nice “tips and tricks”;http://users.rcn.com/rofrano/Video/Vegas_Tips/vegas_tips.html…

Well, the printer market keeps changing, now it’s time to look for a great photo-printer. Here is what I’ve learned: Hardware Reviews – CNET.com. C|Net unfortunately, doesn’t throw old reviews away.
