Sweet deal!!

Now I am debating whether or not to keep the Mac Microsoft free.

The Macbook is actually for the SO, but I will be here asking questions. First one is, what do I need to edit MPEG-4 movies from a Sony HandyCam? I tried on a friend's Macbook, but it was giving me codec issues.
codec issues are the biggest issue for video editing.

first you need to figure out which codec it wants then try to find it.

there is an addon pack for quicktime that delivers the common mpeg codecs, it's like $19 or $29.

You can also try Perian, free.
