And you can. Go to a computer store, buy a computer with enough speed and memory to handle your high definition video, buy software that will let your computer capture your video, edit your video and burn DVDs. Then sit down and learn how to use it all.

If it's so easy, though, why do so many people call VideOccasions at 425-641-4811 asking for our help with digital camera problems, or with getting a computer and editing software to work for them?

VideOccasions' suggestion, of course, is to bring in your video and let us work with you to turn your raw footage into a finished work. We'll help you organize the shots to tell a compelling story, add a title and music, even burn the finished work of art to a DVD. With more than 125 years experience between us working in the graphic, theatrical and video arts, we can help you create a work you can be really proud of.

Still, if you want to give editing and DVD creation a try, we've prepared some information that will help.

• You need to get the video from the tape into your computer
• You need editing software and hardware.
• You need to get the edited video out of your computer.
