Hi,
Regarding openshot:
I tried it out last night and I am pretty impressed. I did manage to crash it once but otherwise it worked quite well. Very intuitive and the exported video looked great! At some point I may try out the advanced capabilities of kdenlive, but right now openshot fits the bill!
Have you had any success with exporting AVCHD video to DVD? When I try, it looks like it begins, creates a 41k file, then just sits there forever. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks, Alex
