Re: Basic good video editor?

You say it's not worth your effort to provide information for the people you are asking to help you?

Do you think it will be worth their effort to continue with you?

Im converting VHS and 8mm home video to DVDs.

Im recording the entire tapes and the resulting files are too large to burn onto DVD.

Define "recording". How? Using what hardware? Sofware?
Define "entire tapes". How long are these?
Define "resulting files". What kind of files are they?
Define "too large". How big are they?
Define "burn onto DVD". Using what software? Process?

Note that usually you don't write the captured files directly
to DVD. You use a video NonLinear Editor to edit them,
add titles, etc. And then the process of writing DVDs takes
the original file types (undefined in your case) and converts
them automatically to MPEG2 so that ~2 hours of video
will fit comfortably onto a DVD disc.

Is there good software that will allow me to quickly view files content to determine where to cut and then easily cut a file into a couple of smaller files to then burn each to a DVD?

Why can't you view the original VHS or 8mm tapes to
get the rough idea of what parts you want to keep. No
need to capture something you aren't going to use.

Maybe some simple titles at the beginning?

Doesn't Ulead do titles?

The software that came with the USB recorder, Ulead is very hard to understand how to use and even the english is not well stated and hard to understand so Im lookig for software that will make the task of burning 50 or 60 DVDs a lot easier.

Consider Adobe Premiere Elements.

thanks for any tips.

A few more facts to deal with would be very helpful.
