Hey guys, sorry about the off-topic post but yet again the vast bank of knowledge here is a lot easier to use then searching through the web. First off all I am using a Windows machine and not a MAC as all the resourses seem to point to a mac for this kind of thing. Secondly I have gotten this to work. Though poorly. I used Roxio EZCD 5 to burn my video to a Disc and it played fine in my home DVD player but with a lot of compression artifacts and poor quality audio with pops and clicks... hmmm... sorta like a bad mp3 :)

Does anyone have any suggestions on a good video capture program that will take the input from a firewire device, let you cut up the film into many clips, organize it properly, and then save into a higher quality video feed than I have already gotten from mine. One thing I did notice was that my audio setting were at 8kbits (I think) but when I tried to save the video with 48,000 audio and double the NTSC video resolution the program gave up on me telling me I didn't have enough free space. I checked and there was 19 gigs free. The videoclip in question was about 6 minutes long.

Anybody have some good advice.

P.S. For anyone who didn't really see the effects of the tragedy it probably hasn't hit you as strongly as it could have. I live a nice ways from NewYork and I was amazed that such a thing could happen... heartbroken and all. Then I drove to a couple of airports, one of which was in Gander, Newfoundland and saw the planes packed in... wow. Then I drove through Gander... a town with a population of 10,000 people. Now there was approximately 10,000 more people stranded in that town due to the closure of the airspace. That really hit home. I was talking to the guy I bought my CR-V from and he was buying all kinds of food for his Elks Lodge to cook for those who were stuck. I drove by a Newtel building (local telco) and they had phones setup outside for people to call home. They also had refreshments for people to enjoy and all kinds of picnic tables sat up so people could relax in the sunshine. It was truly amazing. My heart really goes out to everyone involved.
