I'm enjoying my new Pany FZ28, a great camera in many respects. However, I'm increasingly frustrated trying to edit videos and get them onto a DVD. There is no in camera editing on the FZ28 to shorten clips from the front or the back. There is not even a way to join clips.

When I try to make a "movie" with Windows Movie Maker, mixing stills and video, or video clips alone, it records everything as a still picture and just makes a slide show of sorts.

I'm certainly willing to buy a video editing program but want to stay away from anything complicated and agonizingly slow (like Movie Maker).

I'd like to be able to record stills and videos in the sequence I choose, shorten the clips once in awhile, and record these to a DVD. I don't need anything very fancy.

Above all, I crave simplicity,.....Thanks to any users that can give me some advice!

The movie files from this camera are .Mov files and will not be recognised-you need to convert them to Avi first .I use this software

www.neowin.net/news/software/07/01/20/ivc---internet-video-converter-13

which I find easy to use but there is plenty of other free software out there. You should then have no problem using Movie Maker.It shouldn't be slow either.
