PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Easy Home Video Editor (E.H.V.E.) is a radical new concept in home
video editing.  Designed for every camcorder owner who has had bad video
mixed in with the good, E.H.V.E.  makes video editing easy.  Simply play
your camcorder tapes.  Press the Thumbs-Down button when you see material
you'd rather forget.  E.H.V.E does the rest, recording the good segments
and leaving the bad scenes behind.  It works with virtually all camcorders
and VCRs.  And it supports advanced camcorder features like timecode and
Control-L, for improved speed and accuracy.

E.H.V.E. is the first low-cost, easy-to-use home video editor that really edits.
