Big Al Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Before I begin, may I respectfully ask that all Mac-fans please refrain from stating that I "shoulda got a Mac?" Those comments drive me up a wall in conversations like this, as well as adding nothing to the conversation at hand. Last week, I was given (yes, "given," as in FREE!) a Dell running Windows 7, but I cannot run the following programs I've been using for video editing and audio editing: ArcSoft ShowBiz - used this for video editing/creating; I'm sure it came with a video camera I bought CakeWalk Pyro - bought this awhile back and found it very useful, but the latest version is getting across-the-board negative reviews Any suggestions for software replacements/upgrades/freeware/shareware/firmware/etc will be greatly appreciated!

Shawn Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Wish I could help, but most of my Windows audio/video software is about 7 years old. I just never got around to upgrading. I would recommend downloading foobar2000 for a real lightweight player with some cool audio file conversion capabilities and it's free.

BERIGAN Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) Al, I have Vista, but it came with Cyberlink DVD Suite Deluxe(which I use to capture stuff of of DVD's I have recorded) and then I use Windows Movie Maker to edit the clips to put up on Youtube, etc. Very easy to use for someone like me, a dope when it comes to computer stuff. I was tickled to find they just came on my fairly basic computer, since all I ever heard was no software came on new computers anymore. Anyway, a thought to see if your computer came with these.... EDIT: well, looking around the web, it looks like that comes on HP computers(I Have a Compaq, which is part of the HP Umbrella) Edited June 20, 2010 by BERIGAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 For video editing, Corel VideoStudio is pretty simple and yet powerful. Not very expensive either... around $80. For audio, Adobe has something called Soundbooth that gets the job done respectfully. It's a bit pricey ($199) but does a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
