Nero Vision Express is the one I use..........


But I bought a DVD recorder for under the TV and haven't looked back since... MUCH easier

.... obviously not edited, but it's straight onto DVD

I'd suggest Adobe Premier Elements. Circa £65.00. Easy to use and good results.

p.s. Make sure you configure it to PAL before you start. I've spent hours on my first project with it on NTSC and you can't change a project once it's started!

 

I think i might need a lead to connect my camcorder to my PC any ideas as to where i would get that ?

If you are using a digital camcorder, you'll probably need a Firewire bracket if your PC mobo already has a socket for it, or a Firewire card if doesn't. If you have one of the newer laptops, this is probably already built-in. If you are still using the older VHS or hi-8 analog camcorder, then you will need a video capture card to connect the video-out to. The audio output will just go to the line-in on the sound card. Just in theory at the moment, yet to do my first DV to PC conversion.
