Nothing about editing and publishing HD video is quick. :) My current editing strategy is to go from HDV to 1280x720 30p video using Sony Vegas and then uploading the result to Blip. I think it takes about 10 minutes for every minute of video I publish. You can do it faster, but not if you want to end up with video that looks good. Jake Ludington http://www.jakeludington.com
