  I'm excited to announce that the entire first chapter of my latest
  book is now available as a free downloadable PDF file. "iMovie HD 6
  & iDVD 6 for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide,"[11] in addition to
  having an absurdly long title, is the latest edition of my guide for
  getting up and running with the latest versions of Apple's digital
  video tools. The book now features full-color illustrations and
  screenshots, which make the examples pop and enable me to
  demonstrate color-specific aspects such as a camcorder's color
  temperature settings.

  Chapter 1, "The Digital Camcorder,"[12] contains valuable
  information on buying a camcorder, including which features to look
  for (and avoid). You'll learn about different video recording
  formats such as standard-definition (SD) and high-definition video
  (HDV), image interlacing, and more. The PDF is, naturally, full
  color and weighs in at about 700K.
