1 hour of Video – Best way to Save?

[Jenny]

Me again


Many of you know I host a Variety Show (in a bar) in my city – lol…jeepers…I’m really gonna make a name for myself in here…bad or good…I don’t know – yikes! Oh well, no one has yelled at me yet!


Have a question about saving my entire Show.


The Show is 45 minutes to 1 hour in length.
I used to save these shows to a VCR Tape; however, that’s soooo 80s.

I would like to beef up how I to save my Shows. I need to know what’s the best way to save my Show?

A few things:
- Since I’ll be taping my Show on a Digital Video Camera and transferring the Video to my computer I can’t keep all my Shows on my hard drive…I just eventually won’t have enough space.
- I ‘think’ I need to save them to another sort of media, either DVD or CD-R.


Here’s what I want to know:
How should I be saving my Shows?

I would like to obtain optimum quality and have the ability to bring them back on my PC at a later date and make edits.


Thanks so much

DV cameras save on DV tape. Much smaller than VHS tapes. Just keep those.

If you want a watch-ready product, then get a DVD recorder with I-LINK and do a 1-hour mode (XP) transfer.

No computer needed, until you edit, someday later on.

A show from a bar? Sounds interesting.

Hey.

How much money do these go for?

What does this mean? Eeek!

Where in Canada? Sheesh...I'm in Canada too...that doesn't mean I'm necessarily nearby. The country is over 5000 freakin miles wide!
