Ripple Training's Brian Gary has authored an excellent DVD on using Apple's Compressor. Here is an excerpt from Ken Stone's review:

'The Art of Encoding Using Compressor' covers an enormous amount of ground, starting with the most basic concepts it then, lesson by lesson, covers almost every facet of Compressor and its abilities. This tutorial is broken down into 14 chapters, shown below, then each chapter is broken down into smaller lessons. The chapters in this tutorial are of two types. 'Quickstart', which is intended to introduce you to the process and get you up and running quickly and 'Advanced' which delves more deeply into the subject matter with more detailed information.

I posted Wikipedia links a few weeks ago for Final Cut Pro and just found the Wikipedia Movie Making Manual.

Here is the Wikipedia definition of editing:

"Editing is the process of choosing which picture and sounds will go into the finished film. Initially this includes picking what is good and what is bad, removing the poor material and putting it into script order. Later it also includes the creation and control of moments that may or may not have been intended during the shoot (see below)."
