Editing With Canopus Edius Pro can be a rewardng experience. If you have a basic knowledge of non-linear editors and a history with Adobe Premiere, you can find your way around Edius pretty quickly. One great advantage

of Edius is to be able to capture DVD video discs using the DiscCapture option, creating a local MP2 file on the desktop.
