I find that astonishing. I thought the Mac was The Platform for video editing.


It is in many ways in the higher up areas of people using $10,000 cameras and such. Up in that arena, the tools like Final Cut are usually regarded as the best. Two problems though. Those tools are geared towards the people shooting content and creating the finished product, not necessarily to be easy to use just for making cuts to the final product. The other of course is cost.

iMovie and iDVD are not geared towards people taking content from a box like a ReplayTV. They are geared to owners of the $500 digital camcorders who want to make DVDs of the kids first step. Just as Windows Movie Maker is also not geared towards people trying to do this.

So, for people trying to archive stuff off that box, you have to find the right tools out there, since they don't come in the computer package, nor are sold in the big $1000 software boxes. Thankfully it looks like David and I exchanged the keystone software we needed, I'm prepping to do a test burn to DVD-RW now to see the result.
