Want to hear from members knowledgeable about computer based desktop video and audio editing (post-production) system for professional Video tape production. Need help in selecting computer, hardware, software, VCR etc. to edit HI8 videotapes for documentary and low budget video feature films production.

Ranjeet– I hate to be unhelpful but generally questions as broad as yours are unanswerable. The system you described could cost a few thousand dollars for a few million. If you're looking for general information you should get hold of some of the many trade magazines such as AV Video, Video Systems, or Videography. One of the first things you must decide upon is your definition of "professional" video production. On this forum alone you'll find several different ideas of what "professional" is. If you're interested in feature film/video making, I would recommend purchasing a copy of Rick Schmidt's book "Feature Filmaking at Used Car Prices." Good luck. –Bill.
