Very strange. I've been cutting film since 1965 or so, but I'm not too
old too learn computer NLE. And WHAT a difference! Please try to learn
it, it is a world of superiority.

Wow. Well, that would be live switching, not real editing.

I wish I knew how DVD recorders do their bitrates. They do seem to be
reliable.

My main question was whether I would be able to still use the graphics
that we have been using from Fellowes MediaFace to print paper labels. I
