how to edit cannon XL 1 video footage using Windows XP

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Editing DV Films : One Thread

I have a Seanix CS Series pentium 4 computer, 1.7 GHz, 256 MB RAM with Windows XP. I also have video footage on mini DV cassettes that was shot with a Cannon XL 1 Digital Video Camcorder. I have no experience in editing and need information as to how to go about editing this footage.Does my computer have enough capacity to do the job? Is this a job that a beginner should even attempt? Where do I begin?
