Hey...this is for Joly...so she'll get the e-mail....other people on the list can read anyways or disregard. :) >you would not believe how many young good lookin women there are in >NYC these days, it's like every indie-minded fem in the country upped and >came since 9/11 Haha...that's cool! I'm glad there's a good population in NYC...hope it continues! Too bad I'm not single anymore. I guess I'll find out for myself when I do finally move to NYC. Hopefully it will be soon! :) > >>Anyone know how to get VHS inputed/digitized into a Windows based PC? Any >>info would be greatly appreciated since I rather edit it at home then at >>work. > >most people these days do it via a dv cam and firewire, but it >takes alot of space like, um, 5 mins/MB - then the best thing to turn it >into is VCD standard MPEG-1 for all round compatibility, which works out >about the same spacewise as audio on a CD = 70 mins or so. > >There are USB cards that digitise straight to MPEG-1 in realtime (like the >dazzle) >- you don't get the same quality as letting the PC take it's time on >encoding- but not awful. Basically I want the least expensive way to digitize it but also with the best quality. :) I've heard of Dazzle but dont' know anyone that uses it so I'm hesitant to buy it without trying or seeing it first. I guess I'll have to wait until I get the DV cam but how can I dub from VHS...? Maybe from the TV? Not sure. Or get the converter that Jonathan mentioned? Hmmm. I guess I'll have to research it more first. Any other ideas would be appreciated so feel free to e-mail me at KTYerves@hotmail.com if you have any or would like to do any LJ trades! Have a great weekend! ~Kate~ _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------ End of find-your-mind-digest V5 #29 ***********************************
