Hello,
I have a Sony DCR-HC40 camcorder that uses mini dvd tapes and I am looking for a SIMPLE, EASY TO USE software. I don't want do do anything fancy and would like to have a software that would take me all the way from my camcorder to the completed DVD without using multiple softwares. I would like the ability to do some minor editing. Mostly removal of unwanted portions of the video. I used MYDVD for a couple of movies and it worked good but then it got to where it would not burn the DVD.

My computer operating system is Window XP Professional and I have a drive dedicated to use for the video work.

I know that Windows Movie Maker is included with my operating system but it appears it will only burn to a CD not a DVD. My videos will not fit on a CD.

Let me say this, I am a novice and will not progress past that point. I find the acronyms used for video, cd, dvd, etc work to be confusing. This is a once a year project for me. I don't want to invest a lot of time in learning software usage.

I know that members of this board surely passed through my stage of development on their way to be very accomplished in video work. I would greatly appreciate some input and suggestions.

Thanks in advance for taking time to reply.
