Hi all,

 

I have just sent a load of old home cine films (Super8, etc) away to be transferred onto DVD. I'm not having any fancy editing or "enhancing" done during the transfer as I'd like to have an original "copy" so to speak.

 

However, I can see value in trying to tie together footage of a few reels onto one DVD, for which I will require DVD editing software. I haven't done this before so am now researching what my options are. The DVD file will be in the "VOB" format and should be editable with software.

 

I've had one recommendation so far for Adobe Premier Elements 4 but looking at the various reviews on the net it seems to be riddled with bugs, etc. Also, it costs anywhere between £60~£80. I'm budgeting around £40~£50 for this exercise.

 

Any recommendations you can pass my way are most welcome - especially if you can let me know how much ££ and where from as well!

 

Many thanks!

Been using Pinnacle Studio 9 for a couple of years and it's still very competent and stupid easy to use.

 

Converted my old holiday tapes (Hi8) to DVD (VOB's). It's not a quick process but it was easy.

 

I also tried a bit of simple editing, Studio made it easy to split scenes into chapters, add audio overlay etc.

 

You're looking at 10-20 quid on ebay for v9, or just buy the latest version v11 for about 50 quid from ebuyer.com. I haven't tried v11 so don't know if it's any good.

 

 

I also used it to import directly from different DVD's to make a home compilation

I use Premier Elements 4 and have been really pleased with it. I got it as a bundle with Photoshop Elements 6 (also very good). I think the two together were around £90.

Thanks chaps!

 

Regards,

I find Adobe Premier user friendly for a novece and very high spec for those that know what there doing, (not me, lol)
