Read the forum. It's filled with many, many people asking the exact same question as you.
"If someone feels the need to 'express' himself or herself with a huge graphical 'singature' that has nothing to do with anything, that person should reevaluate his or her reasons for needing said form of expression, possibly with the help of a licensed mental health practitioner."

Read it again.

Use a dictionary if you have to.

Really, it's not that hard; it's certainly easier than just about any college-level text. If you can handle those then you'll be fine. If not...well, it's good practice.

No, it doesn't help. Your computer hardware has nothing to do with your inability to understand.

By the way, you missed the long vowels.

One of the threads that might help you is this one:

Most of the specs for your PC won't matter, but one which definitely DOES matter is whether you have a DVD drive or a CD drive.

read phade's guide before reading ermac/absolutedestiny's or vic's.
it should make more sense that way.

but really you don't need to read the guides to start editing. just grab whatever video files you have on your computer, a music file, and import them to premiere, and start playing around. once you get the hang of it, then go back to the guides so you'll learn how to rip dvd footage and what not.

Homegurl/Homeboy, join the club. I have been saying that no one can translate this sandscript for years, and yet people still don't understand and complain "Why don't these newb's get it!?!?" Um, hello.

Honestly, the best advice has been listed. Re-read it again. Find people on the Video/Tech forums who are helpful and e-mail them (that's what I did). Ask friends. It's tough, I know, but you can do it ^_^
