John: Thank you. I'm not sure how we will capture the video from the camera. If it's via Firewire, I will need to buy something to install in one of our PCs.... Last resort is doing it on Windows XP, with whatever comes with that or is
available free..
Only Macs come with a good, free DV-Editor (iMovie), IIRC. Some people claim the Mac is worth iMovie alone - but I don't know, I only do digital still-pictures.
With the Mac, there would at least be a Unix underneath. ;-)
One thing: my co-worker has a PC he edits videos with where he disables antivirus stuff during the edit. He said he really only got on the internet once in that state (antivirus disabled) - but that was enough to infect the PC so he had to spend hours to clean it up. If you can do it with kinodv - good for you. Otherwhise, consider getting a Mac, if your time is worth something....
I have to second the Mac suggestion. Having just bought a Mac coming from a PC/Windows desktop I had no idea how good an environment it was for media processing, but I have to say it is the best for video/still image editing and if iMovie or iPhoto don't cut it then Aperature or Final Cut would get the job done for a reasonable price (compared to say Photoshop and Premiere).
