Actually not :-) , personally, I have been looking for good summaries
like this without much success, so thanks for posting it. Hope it helps
the OP, too.

I want to know about editing software, though. I just bought a Canon
MVX35i (might be an Optima 500 or so in the US) and have made a few
quick shots and transferred to a DVD. Not entirely happy with the
quality so far, but I am more curious about software at the moment.

I have a Mac and transferred from the camera using Firewire with iMovie
and used iMovie/iDVD to make a DVD. Is the process of rendering the
video onto the DVD a fixed process or do the various apps do it better
or worse. That is, if I bought Final Cut, and used it instead of iMovie,
do I just get a lot more editing capability, or do I get a better visual
result on the DVD (starting from the same camera-video, that is) as well?

Thanks,
