I just tried slowing down in Vegas 6, using the Cineform codec (On my machine raw m2t files are just too slow) and going down 50% looked okay.

So with what Greg mentioned and using the NLE you should be fine. Vegas deinterlace is not too bad - not the best, but passable. Otherwise I've heard good things about Magic Bullet (Except it's very slow).

It will be a low light shoot candles incense...just think new age I think this camera can shoot in fairly low light. I will use supplementary lighting nothing too bright

While were at it. Is there a laptop pc that is suffient to edit with dual core etc. ?

About 18 years ago I helped this guy with aerial photography for a series of videos, Canyon Dreams, Dessert Visions and I can't remember the last one. But if you've never seen them you should check them out, I think you might like them...

Chuck I think we might know each other...wasn't that Miramar?!!!

Why yes it is.

Things that make you go hmmm....
