hi graham,
thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. i really do appreciate
it.
i am very new to this.
i hope you are right that conversion tools will be built into the editing
software. it seems like a natural progression to me.
i looked on amazon.com for books for studio 9. i think i saw 3. i guess
there will be more in the future.
i find all of this very interesting, even though i don't have any artistic
ability <smile>
thanks again.

: Hi,
: The editing apps don't come with these convertors because they are
designed
: for editing dv-avi files made by digital camcorders. Now that taking
movies
: using digital cameras is becoming more popular we may see more development
