[tlug] video processing software?

[Viktor Pavlenko <vvp@example.com>]

Hi all,

I have made many attempts on convening my video tapes to digital
format. The latest finding is LiVES,
http://www.xs4all.nl/~salsaman/lives. It may have a future, but still
is a freaking alpha at the moment.

I got to the point where I'm willing to pay couple of hundred bucks
for a program that will flawlessly do such rudimentary tasks as cut &
paste video fragments (while not breaking audio synchronization) as
well as primitive video effects. Any advice?

For some reason rms's idea isn't working in this area :( His ideas are
great but my time may be more valuable than the cost of a suitable
commercial program.
