I have lots of mini DV tapes from years of recording off my camcorder and now I would like to transfer these miniDV tapes onto my computer and maybe even do a bit of editing and I tried Windows movie maker but didn’t like that too much. What’s a good program that can help me with transferring and editing these miniDV tapes?
You definitely want something a little more powerful than Windows movie maker. A program a lot of pro’s on Windows use Adobe Premier Pro and you want something similar to that and Adobe Premier Elements is just that. It’s an inexpensive version of the high end Pro version but at fraction of the cost.
Adobe Premiere Elements will let you do just about everything you will need including importing your miniDV tapes, creating titles, and all kinds of transitions, and you can even burn a DVD with all sorts of different templates and menus to choose from.
