avid free dv - "no desktop video resource" plus getting started

[sylvia]

Hi. I know nothing of computers and am trying to get started setting up avid free dv on my Mac OSX version 10.4.10 with 2 GB memory.

I can't get my stuff digitized and start editing, although I think I'm following the AVID tutorial.
At first, the clips I digitized had the video frozen with audio running, so I deleted those and started over. Now I get a pop up that reads: "no desk top video resource."

How do I get help to walk me through it. Is there a tutorial for computer idiots or a forum for TOTAL beginners or can someone help me?

Maybe I don't have the right basic set up?

Do I maybe need to put my material on a separate "Festplatte" - how does that work? What kind of festplatte is necessary?

Thanks and cheers,
sylvia p.s. sorry about the English - go ahead and answer in German if you understand it; I can read it - just not write well.

I can't get my stuff digitized...

Hallo Sylvia,

handelt es sich um analoges Material, z.B. VHS, Video8, etc.? - Falls ja, welches Gerät wandelt die analogen AV-Signale in digitale DV-Daten um? An dieser Stelle kann man viele Fehler machen.
