[senit] using digital video with students

Mark,

Unfair? No, just talking from experience. I would point out
that this is the same experience that thousands of other
Pinnacle users have reported (just take a look at their
forums!)

I'm glad that your students haven't suffered the same
negative experiences as mine :o)

iMovie is my preferred choice but unfortunately is only
available on the Mac.

Mark
