How to help...
« on: January 23, 2008, 04:11:00 PM » |

...my oldest wants to make a video to apply for a job with Disney.
I shoot the video, and then I'm guessing I transfer it to my computer with the cables supplied with the video camera.
1) not quite sure how, audio and video in jacks?
2) do I need a special program at this point to make it an mpg or avi file?
Thanks.

unfortunately no, it's a VHS-C (small vhs tapes), it's probably at least 10-12 years old.

I've got a VHS to DVD recorder that I bought at Costco (GoVideo), I suppose I could shoot on the VHS, create a DVD copy from that, and then transfer it into my MuVee producer hardware that I just found on my computer.  Or just shoot the video on my digital camera and transfer it into my computer, does that even make sense? lol. Thanks Ted, I may get something like that in the future. |

If I have to buy a digital camcorder is it uber easy?
I've got like 3 movie editing programs on my computer but none of them read .MOV except QuickTime and I can't edit in QT unless I upgrade to pro.

*fudge* me aske is that a yes or no. it would depend on what kind of inputs you have on your computer . seriously. even then , converting the raw video to dvd format can be very time/resource intensive also. on old machines it can take a day. |

Thanks mang. I have a fairly new (last year) and fairly fast pc, several usb 2.0 inputs and a couple 1/8 jacks looks like for a/v?
I don't need to anything fancy right now, just need to make it mpeg, or one of several other types.
Thanks again.

ok, with usb2.0 the transfer should be easy enough . as long as you can handle the native format, with a newer pc the conversion should only take a couple of hours at most.

the native format means extension? like my dig camera creates a .MOV which doesn't seem to work in any of my editing programs.
right?
