AKweav,
Thanks! As far as how I did it....
I recorded the sequences on my Mini-DV connected to the video out port of my vid card. Then, I disconnected the s-video cable and hooked up the firewire to feed it back into the computer.
I took about 2.5-3 hours of tape, and have about 1.5 hours of galleys on my system, picking the sequences out of those galleys.
All I used was Windows Movie Maker version 2.0.3312.
Simple, but time consuming. I had a good time, gonna take a few months off, but I do want to do it again.
