After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

As it's been stated earier Vegas is rather expensive. There is a scaled back version that can be found for $100 or so, call Vegas Movie Studio. I've been using this for about a year now, and find it real easy to use and workd very well with capturing form a DV camera, editing and burning DVD's. I've never used the full Vegas software, so I don't know what is not included in the studio version, but it has everthing that I need. I recomend it to anyone who is interested.

Adam is right. There is a scaled down version. this will work well for most chasers. Part of the problem i think for me and my project is the licensing of the product.. For home use only and also the fact you can only have three layers at a time. quite limiting for lots of compositing and advanced audio work.
I think the important thing to read into Adams post though is.. its simplicity of use. When you package that with a full feature tool set for video and audio as well as robustness and a one stop solution for video editing, audio and DVD output.. its really hard to beat.

If you are into video editing and DVD burning, and have a basic PC system now, you should seriously consider a Mac Mini. At $499, you use your existing monitor, mouse and keyboard. Add the SuperDrive for $100 to have DVD and CD burning capability. It includes the iLife suite, which includes iMovie HD (which is a wonderfully powerful and easy to use video editing environment) and iDVD 5 which makes burning DVDs cake. If you want more than iMovie in the way of video editing, consider Final Cut Express, the little sister of Final Cut Pro (used by Hollywood). Frankly, I think few of us will ever use all of the capabilities in iMovie, let alone the others.
If you can wait until the end of the month you should be able to order it with Apple's new \"Tiger\" OS X system software, which will be the cat's meow. (Sorry 'bout that one).
