Editing DV projects cheaply

from Earl Newton (vadal@aic-fl.com)
First of all, I recently asked about purchasing a Sony DCR-TRV510 digital-8 cam. It's great, thanks for all the assistance, folks!

My new question: we're going to start shooting a film, and I was wondering how I would go about the editing process (I'm looking far ahead, I know). Just taping to a VCR seems kind of choppy, plus editing the audio would be difficult. A friend has a card we can use to edit some of the video, but there's no way he has enough hard drive space to hold the entire film so we can reel it back out onto a VCR. The film will probably be over an hour, which is why I'm worried: digital-8 tapes can only hold an hour of video. How can we piece together several tapes and make the shots fit together for under $200 or so?!

Thanks in advance for your time, Earl
