I have a large number of old home movies that were turned into .AVI files. I want to edit them, and burn them on a DVD so they can be watched on a TV.

What is the best software for this? I looked at Nero Ultimate 7, and it seems to have the features I need, but I was wondering if there were any others? If there's free software that does it, great, but cost isn't the issue; I want software that will do the job. It must be able to read & edit the .AVI format, and burn a DVD usable on a regular DVD player.

I have about 4, maybe as many as 7 rolls of black & white film left over from a photography course I took last year. Some of the rolls expire in November 2007, others in March 2008.

The film is good quality (not professional grade) Ilford HP5, ISO 400, 36 exposures.

See info about the film here: http://www.ilfordphoto.com/products/product.asp?n=...

I'm no longer taking many film photographs (I've gone digital), and doubt I'll use these rolls before they expire. I have a bunch of leftover Kodak color film I'll throw in as well (24 exposures, different speeds).

I'm willing to send it to someone at no charge, I just need a shipping address. If you don't want to give your home address, I'll ship to a mail drop location. Please don't list your address here, e-mail me through the profile interface.

I hate to see all the film go to waste. I'll give top preference to a photography student, then a hobbyist. Serious requests only.

Was there a time when the US flag had more than 13 stripes? If so, why, and why doesn't it anymore? Also, if so, are there any places in US that still fly a flag with more than 13 stripes?

10 points to the first correct answer.
