I've been on this list because I want to understand more about digital video. However, I've only experimented with iMovie. I do have a miniDV camera, but I don't yet have the hardware to support iDVD, but I have a G4 powerbook on the way. The term "editing" seems self-explanatory, but what does "authoring" mean in comparison? Having ONLY worked with iMovie, I don't know anything at this point beyond that realm.
