I've been thinking about sending some home movies back home for the family,
but some of them don't even have VCRs anymore.
I've been thinking about putting home movies onto my hard drive and burning
them to DVD. Does anyone have an opinion as to the best Windows Media to DVD
converter?

Yes this will make an excellent place to set your coffee cup while you work
on a real computer.

I own 4 PC's and no Mac but my kids work on one in my newspaper/video
editing class. Anyone who doubts the superiority of a Mac for that purpose
(which is all we were talking about) is a [insert insult of intelligence
here].

Nero, or any of the other DVD burning tools out there, is
good for burning the DVD, but if you would like to add music
and commentary, or do some editing; windows movie maker is
pretty user friendly.

You know, I used to think the same thing. But I picked up an A/V Pyro
device for my new computer and have been playing around with Ulead
Video Studio 7.0 and have been really impressed. It's easily as good
and simple to use as Final Cut.

You've obviously heard that before then. I wonder why? So easy to touch a
nerve with you MAC people.

You need to stop clinging to stereotypes from 10 years ago. You probably
still think Amiga Video Toaster is the ultimate, don't you?

I started playing around with WMM and I like its interface and final
quality. I spent several hours yesterday just goofing around with it.
The software that came with my video camera saves as either mpeg-1 or avi
files, and the quality of both is somewhat lacking. The editing process is
very tiresome.

Well considering I hadn't used a Mac until 3 years ago, your comment
wouldn't make very much sense now would it?

Damn you cut me right to the bone! Nonetheless, it is fun, and Mac people
are still touchy : p

Sure it would. Personal experience typically plays a very small role in
stereotypes.

I will admit for sheer coolness factor the new Mac that is all in the
monitor is up there.

{yawn} You assume it wasn't an accident, rather I didn't know any
better...quite the contrary. You, on the other hand, were acting like an ass on

If he did he missed the quotation inside the punctuation, "Nah" isn't a
word, and it is odd not to see a space or two in between sentences. <g>

Well, let's review:

1. You've acted like a complete, biased idiot in front of the entire group.

2. You really haven't been able to come up with anything to defend your actions.

3. Now you're down to 3rd grader remarks as you've got nothing left.

Again, you acted like an ass, you got what you deserved...enjoy it.

Uh... sorry nice try. "Nah" is in fact a word (look it up), though a bit
more on the slang side it is used properly. Not sure what you mean about
quotation inside punctuation or the spacing stuff, it's all proper grammar.
