I was told to post it on the general discussion thread so I did. I am new to this forum and for the most part its not very welcoming. Some people have helped me so much, and I appreciate that.

I dont really have the editing system for HD. I heard of HDV...but dont know much about it. I am used to DV and have shot with the XL1 and the DVC100A. I like 24p and the XLR outputs. I am looking to spend anywhere up to $3,000. I really like shooting corporate video and short films and I think as a semi-professional something cheaper with 24p would be the best choice for me. Hopefully this gave an idea of what I will be using it for. When it comes to shooting I am more of a consumer than a professional, and just want a good quality for cheaper. mlcelona@gmail.com

I love 24p and the look of film. What is the best camera to get that is professional, but affordable and can be hooked up to a mac for FCP editing. Can anyone explain some specifications of different cameras and what they mean? Thanks and best wishes. mlcelona@gmail.com

I have made a 20 minute video and put it on iDVD with a menu. I burned it and want to make copies. However I did not save any of the files and was wondering if there is a way to duplicate the master copy. Any help would be appreciated. thanks and best wishes. mlcelona@gmail.com
