The easiest way to edit movies is with a computer. So the first thing you will need is the proper computer. (considering you already have a camera) When you are looking for a computer to use for video editing, you should get the best computer you can find (fastest processor, most RAM or memory, biggest hard drive you can afford or find) This is true for anything that deals with computers. To do video editing for output to DVD you will need a couple other items, too. > You will need a second hard drive, approximately 200 GB in size, because most professionals recommend having one hard drive for the operating system and programs, etc. and a second only for project files to reside on. Make sure the hard drive runs at the highest RPM you can find. Also, if you can afford it and it is supported by your computers motherboard, get a SATA hard drive. SATA HD's have a fater data rate, typically. * A second, dedicated hard drive is not required. However, you will need at least 150 to 200 GB of free space for a few hours of digital, high quality video. > You will need a DVD writer. There are many DVD writers out there. If you wish to buy the best, buy the DVD writer that has the fastest data rates (fastest read/write rates). If you can afford it (at least $50) you can get a decent Sony DVD Dual Writer. With Dual Layered DVDs you can get twice as much data, or video, onto the DVDs which can play in any normal DVD player. > You will need some way to get the video onto your computer. So you will either need a video converter or a FireWire (IEEE 1394) connection. For analog video cameras that have RCA (composite) jacks, which are the red, white, and yellow round jacks, then you will need a video converter. For a digital camera (which will typically use Digital8 or MiniDV tapes, or some sort of disk or memory card) which has a FireWire connection on it, you will need a firewire connection on the computer. * some video converters can be in the form of internal cards or external devices that connect to the computer via USB or FireWire. > The last thing you will need is a video editing program. You can find video editing programs at your local Best Buy. The best bet would be to go with a product by Adobe, Pinnacle Systems, or Ulead. Once you have all this equipment, you will be able to record the video onto the computer, edit the video, and then burn the video to a DVD.

Another option is to use a video transfer service. You just send them your tapes and they handle the transfer to digital files for you. Some, like StashSpace.com ($7/tape) even let you edit the video online or get back the files on a hard drive or data DVD.
