Best Video Editing Software

[kuphryn]

Hi.

I bought an ATI TV-Wonder card yesterday, but had problems installing it on my system because there is not working XP driver. I returned it and bought the WinTV. It works great. I have it installed and working (i.e. working driver), but I have not tested it.

I would like to know two things. First, I want to watch TV through WinTV. Do I need to install the Hauppauge's software for the card to watch TV, or could I use a 3rd party software?

Finally, I want to capture video from my vcr, dvd, and antenna. I would like to know what is the *best* video editing software that compatible with WinTV and would me to capture video into whatever format I want and allow me to edit it such as cut, resize resolution, and optimize for best resolution. I have heard of many big name video editing software as in Adobe Premiere, ULead Media Studio, Sonic Foundry Vegas Video, VirtualDUB, and TMPGEnc. What do you recommend for the purpose I mentioned? I would prefer to use one software for all jobs if that is possible. That way I do not have to mess with multiple program unless it is the only way or that it is a matter of performance.

Thanks,
Kuphryn

Adobe Premiere 6.0, I think
Adobe is a good digital image editing software, and has higher compatibility than others (i.e filters and plug ins), same as Adobe Photoshop 6.0 photo editing software.

Adobe Premiere seems to be somewhat of a standard, but it's not as good as Digital Origin's Edit DV 2.0 or their newest product called Cinestream . . .
