Thank you for the reply Rob.

I was just hoping that I could avoid having to convert to MPEG-2 format but it sounds like for what I am going to be doing, that is unavoidable. The PC I am about to order should be up to the task of converting to MPEG-2 since I am going to get a 3.4 Ghz P4 with at least 1024MB of RAM and possibly even 2048MB. I as looking at the Athlon 64 processors as well but I have an important piece of software (ArcView 8.3) that I can't get full tech support for unless it's on an Intel based PC.

I am qualified for an educational discount on software so I am still checking out some of the editing and authoring packages. I am interested in the Adobe Video Collection as well as Vegas+DVD but haven't decided whether I not I am going to go with either of those yet. I will definately check out the software you mention in your post as well.
