watching it on my 50" plasma is like looking through a window into the past!

it took about 15 minutes to burn them onto a 25-cent dvd-r, and watch it on my blu-ray player (bdp-s350), and the daylight images were beautiful and sharp, even on a big screen.
from www.amazon.com
i tried convert the video in mpeg but it does not play on quick time or windows media player, i think i may be missing a codec, but it has no way to save on standard codec, hence i cannot put videos

i zoomed in on a chair 50 ft away, i could see a water drop on a chair, and i could see clearly the image through the water drop.
from www.amazon.com
that looks ok from the trial version, so you might consider it, unless you want to convert to avi/wmv before you do the editing in windows movie maker and lose quality through repeated compression.
from www.amazon.com
all in all, for a $1000 investment, i didn't feel i got the best value.
