Re: DVD Camcorder question

["Kenny" <me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If using XP you should already have Movie Maker.  You can import via 
Firewire, in theory you should also be able to import via USB but in 
practice doesn't work well.
Movie Maker will let you edit, add titles, effects etc. and will output in a 
number of formats but not to dvd, you'll need 3rd party software to do that.
Uleads DVD Movie factory is an easy to use program but limited.
Adobe Premiere Elements is more sophisticated, it's a cut down version of 
Adobe Premiere.
