Thanks for that tin2tin. It does look like the best hope for a free NLE that isn't a hook for a payware product since Lightworks have restricted their free output to 720p.

IVSedits http://www.ivsedits.com/default/compare.aspx (http://www.ivsedits.com/default/compare.aspx)also have software which can open targa (from raw) and output at higher than 720p but they won't accept H264 mov input for free which is a disappointment  to users like me who also shoot canon 1920 x 1088.
