NoA conductor of heat will transmit the outside temperature in and inside temperature out very efficiently- this is what is called thermal equilibrium (Zero th law of thermodynamics)So your house when made of a good conductor (any metallic material) will be cold in winter and hot in summerYou of course need an insulator to insulate your houseInsulator are most ceramics (clay, alumina, etc) and foamsAir (dry air to be exact) is a very good insulatorA gap of few cms between two walls (for your house construction) will effectively act as a insulator, maintain a thermal gradient and be good sound construction.
If you want to edit, you dont want a dvd camera, or even a cd camera, if they made oneMiniDV is probably your best choiceIt's a tape format, but it offers the best quality out of all the consumer formats, and is easy to editHard disc camera videos are easy to transfer, but they cause big headaches when editing because they are mpeg-2 compression, which also reduces qualityI've heard a lot of good things about the canon elura 100, and it also has a mic port, which is nonexistent for cameras in that price rangeIts around $400, so its really cheap (for a video camera, that is)As for editing, movie maker or imovie should be enough if you're just making home videos, or short videos for youtubeI used movie maker to edit a school video and it worked perfectly for me, not too complicated, and yet powerful enough if you know what to do with itIf you are into making films, then you might want to get something a little bit more professional, although movie maker or imovie should work fine if you cant get oneI have adobe premiere pro, which is a good program, and its coming back to macs as wellIts pretty expensive, around $900, but I got a student discount for around $200, so if you are a student as well, you could go for thisJust look around on adobe's website for student discounts, or search the webHope this helps!
