Guys, I am new to editing digital videos on the pc so I need help on setting up an editing system. I have no idea on what to do but I am looking for the best way to edit mini dv from my canon GL2 on a PC. The PC is running Windows XP with a 2.2 Gig Pentium 4 and 5 15 Megs of memory with one 120 gigs harddrive. And I have the nVidia Geforce MX 440 64 megs video adaptor card.
I am asking you guys as to what kind of hardware to get like something kind of editing rack or something that would make my editing experience easier and faster. I only have around 300 to 600 dollars. I have seen a lot of editing stuff but I have no idea what they are for.

Which kind of harddrive is better for editing, an interior or anexterior hd? Doesn't speed comes into paly when you're sealing with an exterior one or it doesn't really matter anymore. IF I use an exterior one, can I move the hard drive from one computer to another so that I could edit the footages in it at a different sytem.

for me an external is better, because i use it at home and work. as long as it's firewire and 7200 rpm's it should be fast enough.

Hook up a TV to your camera so that when u sonnect it to the comp you will get a preview of what you are doing with "true" colors (if u intend doing stuff for TVs).
Get Avid Xpress DV as your editing software.
That's all you need, teh rest is tehre only so u spend more money.
