I just bought a mini-DVD camcorder (my son's first nativity play on Friday, so I thought I'd become camcorder-dad). I want to be able to rip my recorded DVDs onto my PC and edit/merge the resulting files. I'm pretty sure I can rip them through Media Center, but I don't believe I have editing abilities in Media*Center to splice things about. I have Vista Ultimate, in case there's something already there that I missed. Anyone got any recommendations? Must be Vista compatible and preferably cheap\free. Herbie More...

I suspect this is just the kind of thing that Niners will appreciate. Vertigo recently released their free Slide.Show application for Silverlight 1.0. I have a sample and some pointers in today's blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/archive/2007/12/18/silverlight-slide-show.aspx. Not sure how embeddable (or not) it is in The Coffeehouse, but it certainly works well for blog entries and web sites. More... View All Our Microsft Related Feeds
