Synopsis

Your first holiday together. Your wedding. Your first baby. Life is full of special moments, which is why you bought a digital video camera to capture them.

Easy Digital Home Movies can show you how to use your digital video camera and your free Windows Movie Maker 2 software on your PC to edit and distribute your home movies via e-mail and the Internet. You can also learn how to archive your home movies on DVD and keep them safe for years to come. Make the most of your firsts, lasts and everything in between with Easy Digital Home Movies.

With a digital camcorder and Easy Digital Home Movies, any user can make movies in a matter of hours.Consumer digital video cameras are available for prices starting below $300, and Windows XP includes a full-featured non-linear video editing application, Movie Maker. These two significant developments in consumer digital media mean home movie making is available to virtually everyone with a DV camera and a computer.While Windows XP does offer users a great application for editing home movies, it doesn't come with a clear explanation of how to do it. This book provides detailed instruction on how to capture and edit home movies using Windows Movie Maker 2. In addition to the editing process, the book demonstrates how to e-mail movies, stream movies on the Web, and transfer movies to DVD for archiving and later viewing.
