First, for reasons I will never understand, the store where my Stepson works took their sweet time about selling the camcorder to us at a discount, so there was a very long delay in our getting it and we've only used it a few times. Tonight, my wife had our eight (8) year old daughter use it, while she was doing her dance exercises. When she saw how great she looked, she wanted to edit the video and post on youtube. She has been using M$ Windows for months, so I suggested Windows Movie Maker or whatever it's called. She replied that she did not like that program and had deleted it from her box. So, I found this thread and she has been using Cinelerra on my box, but it saved the edited file in .xml format, so there *is* a learning curve to Cinelerra. Cinelerra seems to have *no* problems working with the video from the Samsung Camcorder which uses the mini DVD media. :-) She did discover in a web search that Cinelerra is only available for Linux and that it is not for beginners. She is very smart and persistent, so she will be able to use Cinelerra with time. Lanny
