I honestly think I can manage to do it, but I do need a bit of help. I plan on buying a dual powermac g5 soon with protools, idvd and imovie (in ilife 06). I was planning on using protools to do the audio tracks and imovie to reedit the film, seeing as I can do many of the things such as color correction and fixing the aspect ration and editing the film together with it. However, I would like to get a video editing / encoding program to work on this with. I also need to rip some of the video from DVD, and I'm relatively new to this. I was going to use imovie cause I know how to use it but since I don't have the G5 yet I'm using an HP and I'm not to mastered in the arts of using the PC's editing programs. I tried using virtualdub just to edit the video, but its horrible and encoding it makes the files 5 gigs in size when they are only a half hour long. I know this belongs in the help and tutorials section, but can I get just a bit of help here. I have my vision down, and I'm 99.9% sure how I'm going to acheive it, but I could use a little help.

Thanks in advance... especially to all those who sincerely are Bruce Lee fans!
