[QUOTE="docklandsuk, post: 390895, member: 31019"] Hi Everyone, just joined your forum. I'm a keep PC user, but I'm wanted to test the water with a Macbook (Black) notebook. I'm doing this because I'm getting into Digital photography and video editing, but theres a few questions that I would like to ask you all before I go out and buy a macbook. I have a fair amount of Divx video footage, also avi and home made dvds that I would like the be able to edit etc, would the mac be able to do this straight out of the box or would I need other software or codecs? My main concern is divx and avi playback so I would also like it to perform this task also. Other question is would it be able to convert and edit dvd footage into divx or xvid format? or is the mac a pure quicktime MP4 format machine? I'm quite happy with all the other software such as itunes, garageband and other programs. I visited the Mac store last week but the young guy in the store could not answer my questions. Thanks in advance, looking forward to chatting to you all Pete [/QUOTE]
