I just bought a Sony DVD108 and am having lots of fun with it. I also went out and with out looking into it bought MAGIX Movie Maker pro Ver. 12 It is ok and am happy with it, more stuff in there then I will ever use. My question for you guys is what format do you compress with. The MAGIX only come with on free down load and I blew it on Media Player. But there is about a dozen choices for Compression on there. One is MPEG4, cant think of the others right now but lots of choices. So what do you guys recommend for good resizing for YouTube. Here is a sample of what I have so far with the Magix Movie Maker. Give me feedback on what you think please!

Not bad..........I would recomend you purchase a tree arm before hunting season to keep the hand shake to a minimum............as for the compression, Window media file and High Quality NTSC is the file size is less than 100megs. drop down to Medium quality if the file is too big, either that or cut the footage so the file is smaller, medium quality NTSC can sometimes cause audio issues.

Good luck!

Thanks Chris! By saying not bad you are being nice! The more I look at it the more I see room for improvements. There is alot in that program and I have yet to even get into it deep. I can't wait to get more footage and edit it also. I am getting a camera mount for my CB so I should be able to record all myhunts just fine. Right now I am just trying to brain storm on opening lines and talking about the hunt before the hunt, and the track and closing comments. Just trying to make some good memories for me and dad that we can share with the other family members.
