<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>By compressing the original Hi8 material into a DVD (MPEG2) you now can’t edit it.<BR>
<BR>
You can start over again, with the original footage and convert via a converter box to the DV format. Then you can import the footage into either iMovie, FCP, or Premire.<BR>
<BR>
Or, you can convert the MPEG2 video into DV footage via a program like MPEG streamclip, and import this footage into your editing application of choice. It won’t be as sharp as if you take the original Hi8 and go to DV.<BR>
