Hello, my name is Kurt. I'm in Australia and I am an enthusiastic amateur, using mini dv and Premiere Elements.
I have nothing to promote, just here for the company and the exchange of information, which will unfortunately be a bit one-sided, until I get some clues.
Keep in mind that the search function is your friend. Everyone here is always very glad to help you out, but a lot of the "basics" questions have been asked and answered many times.
