can any one reccomend a good video editing suite please. ive got a dv camera and want to put my holiday footage onto dvd....ive got pinnacle studio 8 which ive used before with no probs.
i was thinking about purchasing studio 9 but someone told me its a pain having to purchase activation keys( not that i mind that but i dont like getting rippped off).

The tutorial section can shed some light on the actual mechanics of editing and authoring and everything else in the process. Seeing how you do it would be the best way of figuring out what is within your abilities to understand. The more you understand the better your output will be.

I had a quick rummage for free tools
http://dvdstyler.sourceforge.net/ - this may be one for a little later in the sequence, not sure if it has any capability to do the editing

TMPGEnc 3.0, TMGEnc DVD Source Creator and TMPGEnc DVD Author all have editing features that are easy to use and reasonable quality.
