For starters, what kind of software do I need to edit, burn, decrypt, and convert movies? Which software program(s) do you suggest using? RE: CONVERT I have files in AVI and MPG/MPEG on my computer, what do I need to convert them to, in order to burn them to DVD (mpg, dvd, ???)? RE:SHRINK How do I shrink the converted movie so that I can burn them on a DVD. I can burn a few MPG files to a DVD, but some are too large to fit on one disk and I don't know how to make them fit on 1 disk. RE: BURN I am using ROXIO DVD Builder, there has to be a better burn program that allows you to more with it. Any Suggestions? Explain "edit" and "decrypt" to me. Edit is pretty much a given, but what does "decrypting" do, what is the purpose? Please tell me in what order each of these steps need to be done in. Is there seperate software for each, or is there a software that will do it all? Please Advise!! Thank you for your help.... angel2006
