Hi,
What format tapes, I assume you are talking about analogue formats rather than digital ?? (eg. VHS-C etc)

If it's on MiniDV and it's just one camera and you don't need any frills, buy yourself a copy of Pinnacle at PC World for about ?30 and learn to do it yourself - it ain't difficult...
All the editing "pros" will flame me down, but for website clips it's all you need.

Ivor, I've not used Adobe. but from what I understand, Pinnacle is much easier at generating "web suitable" outputs. For example you can create WMVs at about 20 different formats and data rates, Real Media at about 20 different combinations of format and speed, MPEGs, etc.
Lincoln, I use a slightly more upmarket version of Pinnacle so that I can do odd video effects and sound effects and lock sound and video tracks and that sort of stuff, but the cheapest version you can get is ok for capturing from your camera, editing and generating clips. If you discover a feature you haven't got, you can always download upgrades from the Pinnacle site, if you have your credit card handy, of course.
