Avid Free DV

I downloaded Avid Free DV tonight. I don't know why more people don't take advantage of the free versions that professional software companies produce. It seems like the masses are content with Windows Movie Maker. Personally, I'd rather have the limitations of a professional application that is offered for free. The learning curve will be greater, but the capabilities are so much more immense. Hopefully I can figure it out fairly easily. It will be cool to be able to make DVD's of Noah and Ana for the family, plus creatively edit stuff just for my personal enjoyment. JM
