Beginner needs advice on equipment and producing dvd

[jeffreyc]

Hi all, I’m new to this but want to produce a children’s dvd. The plan is to hire some kids and record them in their daily routine in normal situations–kitchen, playground…And I’ll also record in all white background..Thus:

1. Can I produce dvd quality film with a Canon Vixia HG 20(it has 1920 by 1080)? Or will I need to buy a bigger one ,say Canon XH A1?

2. Any software editing software recommendations?

3. Is it standard fare to record with multiple camcorders?

4. WIll I need special lighting when I record the kid’s in the white background? If so any equipment recommendation

5. Can I rent the equipment instead, and where are good places to buy in the LA area?

6. Any other suggestions?

7.Thanks so much, Jeff C.
