[XCSSA] Video editing programs for windows?

[xcssa@xcssa.org]

Eric.. You pose a Windows problem on a heavy Linux/BSD/UN*X mail list.. you're 
going to get Linux/BSD/UN*X answers to those problems.. ;)

I can't give you any good Windows answer myself other than what my uncle uses  
on his Windows box (Dazzle)... and what all the other professionals use 
(Adobe).

So here's my latest Linux answer to your question.  KDEnLIVE:
	http://kdenlive.org/

It's the latest "Broadcast 2000" style non-linear editing suite to some out of 
the KDE based projects group.

It looks hot.. and has some really good reviews in the latest Linux Journal 
writeup (check it out.. now on the shelves).

Anyway.. he can check it out himself if he would just boot up and run 
something like one of the latest liveCDs like Knoppix or Studio64:

Good luck,
