Help. I'm trying to take video from my samsung mini cam and make a 30 sec
clip on Windows Media. Not a clue how to do this but Cathy tells me it's
really easy - can somebody please tell me how to do it or tell me where to
get STEP BY STEP IDIOT PROOF instructions?

I've never met Cathy, but I'm sure she's wonderful and well informed.

Back to your problem : There's a lot of documentation on this, I'd
take a look at some of the info and links on this page to start with
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...os/create.mspx

There's also a video tutorial to help out with some of the steps.

You didn't mention anything much about the camera - does it take
MiniDV tapes ? Or mini DVDs ? Or is it using some sort of memory stick
or hard disk inside it (consult the product manual for answers...)
