Wow, where to begin. The first thing you should know is that there could be lots of different types of video in an AVI file. I don't use DVD Ripper but you should find out what type of video it is...

I've used Vegas since around 4.0. I guess that's about 6 or so years ago? I've lost count. I've used many USB external drives with no problems at all....

What standard def, consumer-grade cam (or pro, for that matter) comes with a 40x optical zoom? I've never heard of such a beast.

Agree. Twice as many LCDs to go bad.

Video cams have had flip out LCDs for many years. No multiple takes are needed to get a good self portrait. I fail to see what the advantage is to having 2...
