i think u can try to copy the file from the handycam direct to ur pc. there's no need to capture it via firewire. never use before but i think thats should be the way

It's time-consuming because :

1) If you shoot 2 hours of miniDV footage, you have to also upload 2 hours of footage to your PC.

2)  You have to go through the uneditted video clips & cut those that are not so nice.  Then you have to arrange the clips so that the movie tells a coherent story.

3) Do some color correcting or brighten footage that was too dark, etc.

4)  You have to add transistions when necessary, & perhaps put in titles

5)  Put in some background music where appropriate

6) And finally, render the movie to VCD or DVD.  In my experience, it takes around 5 1/2  to 6 hours to render & burn about 1 1/2 hours of edited video to DVD, even on a powerful PC.

So that's why editing is so time-consuming.

Do you have any idea how to edit fast with quality up to the standard?

Two way to get it done fast:
1. record to a harddisk or use hdd handycam
2. direct transfer from the camera to a dvd then only duplicate it.

maybe you said time consuming because you doing it not for broadcast standard.

After Film, Digital betacam, and DVCPro, then MiniDV up to the standard of broadcast format
i wonder what way is not time consuming for video editing rclxub.gif
