If you have a camcorder and make your own home movies, you can use your computer system to make those movies a lot more appealing. With the right hardware and software, you can turn your PC into a video editing console and make your home movies look a lot more professional.

And the neat thing is, you probably don't have to buy anything extra to do your video editing. If you're using Windows XP and have one of the latest digital video recorders, all you have to do is hook up a few cables and start editing!
