CHICAGO, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Just a few years ago, Brian Olson recalls, he would head back to the office and spend weekends at the studio of the company where he works to assemble a polished home video that "friends and relatives actually wanted to see."

Today, Olson, who works for a software company near Denver, has networked his home computer and his digital camera, and he can edit and mix movies from the privacy of his study.

Whatever you do, don't try it - you'll get hooked and spend all your free time editing hour after hour of your home movies. It'll eat up your hard drive in no time. But it's fun and you can do some really professional stuff.

If you do try it, don't tell your relatives. You'll be swamped with videos of their vacations.

Agreed! And friends, too...

What tools do you use? Been using Vegas.

Wish it went faster -- lots of compute time.

Been experimenting with high def. Windows Media codec seems to be a lot better than MPEG2 both under Vegas. A lot of fun!

Really, just about any video editing suite will eat up a lot of processor time. That's just the nature of the beast.

I usually walk away from the workstation while the vid-data is being processed, have a coffee and a smoke, maybe check out the basketball scores in the tube.

Using Pinnacle 9.4. Love it.

But it does take a while on my computer. If I have a big job I have to let it run overnight.
