    Need advise - this is the right place

    NEED ADVISE:
    I bought a Sanyo HD 1000 recorder and since then I am only experiencing troubles.
    First of all after downloading the HDfiles to my PC, I have difficulties in editing as I only have the Pinnacle Studio 9 and Ulead DVD Movie factory.

    The ST9 does not open the files and Ulead is too slow to work with. What I do is first rough edit on Ulead, then I convert with Media Coder to Mpeg2/DVD or AVI and then edit it on Pinnacle ST9 and then burn a DVD, as I dont have a HD player/TV facility. End result is that parts of the movie is on a diferent aspect ratio 4:3 or 16:9, which I still have to figure why.

    I know that ideally I should buy a new HD editing program and system which cost: "mucho dinero" but for what if I dont have yet the facilities.

    Bottom line: I still have the converted AVI files and the original Mpeg4 files and would like to store it on a hard drive to edit it better at a later stage.

    Question: Am I correct on wat I am doing, and how should I store the files for further editing: on AVI, DVD or HD/Mpeg4 or what?

    Any related advise would be greatly appeciated.
