Technology, you fail me

So you all know I'm a Journalism major at UNC-CH... meaning I should know about technology programs of all sorts. Well I do know some but not as much as many other gurus who walk the halls of the J-school. So I've been working on a project that consists of me taking footage from mini-DVDs, converting them into M4V files and then converting them again into MOV files. Well this process has required me to download three different programs to do all of this. And each time I've tried to upload the footage I need I have been failed by the technology I'm so dependent upon. My computer is freaking out, going on the blink and I'm frustrated to the point of cursing, crying and cursing some more. I've never been so upset by technological failure.

As of right now, I'm currently downloading the second mini-DVD and hoping that tomorrow morning one of our tech-guys can help me convert all my files so that I can start editing them in FCP (FinalCut Pro) so I can make a killer mini-documentary for my brother's ceremony on Sunday.

Did I also mention that this is a video/audio/photo project? FML.
