Hi all,

My friendly mates at Sony are lending me a Z1 for the weekend when they are released here in Australia (should be next week)

I want to do some basic tests on the camera & need a really simple HDV editing program for my PC so I can perform these tests.

The only features I need are:

1. basic cutting & re-arranging of clips,
2. still frame grabs
3. Be able to edit both HDV 50i & 60i

Is there any free software or demos I can use just for the time being to do these tests until I decide to buy either Prem1.5 or Vegas?

VirtualDubMod should do what you want (and it's $free$)

any other feebies for my PC?
