Cheap and Simple NLE for 16:9
I have test footage that I have shot in the 16:9 mode of my Canon Optura.
I need to do simple editing and titling on an NLE that will recognize the format and send an edited letterboxed version out for DVD authoring. Any suggestions? Neither Pinnacle Studio 8 or Windows Movie Maker support 16:9. |

I have downloaded the demo versions of both Vegas Video 3.0 and Vegas Video Factory 2.0.
Both recognize the 16:9 input from the Canon with no intervention on my part. Oh yes! So Video Factory 2.0 is $69 in the downloaded version, but the MPEG2 codec is an additional $30. And someone in another thread pointed this out: http://sonicfoundry.com/products/showproduct.asp?PID=684 Tutorial plus working copies of Vegas 3.0 LE and their audio software - all for $49!. Can anyone tell me the difference between LE and the full version of Vegas 3.0? I am tempted to go with the Video Factory. The Vegas demo looks big and bad - a professional tool - and for me, simpler is better. Edward, thanks for the suggestion! |

Go for the full version - it's worth the difference. If you purchase Video Factory for $70, you can upgrade to Vegas Video for $200.
