    Smile Getting Closer to Vid-Ability

    I went searching for a analog- digital converter in earnest. I went into "Sony Style" at our local mega mall and asked if they had such a product. They looked at me like I was nuts. They said they had heard of such devices but had never seen one... Then they tried to sell mea full dress nnotebook and camera combo for $4000... I guess they didn't realize I'm Deep Cheap...

    I needed to stock up on some stuff for around the house and for the freezer so I headed off to Costco. Walking past their computer section, What do I see? A analog to digital converter dvd writer with connections for every kind of thing there has ever been or will be. Right there! There it is and its got a four letter word written right across the box... SONY

    Now I dont have to lose my zillion hours of tape and can pass through new stuff to add to it...

    So here goes... What kind of vids do you want to see from the Deep? When I get back from this next run I'll have some time to piece it together... Bring on the requests. I aim to please!

I've got a couple shark vids and other billfish vids in the can that I can turn into some jaw droppin stuff... Also have some funny stuff I'm ready to shoot... Takes a while to get me started... Longer to turn me off!

    Don't panic

    There is a device call Dazzle that comes with Pinnacle Studio included that converts your RCA type three pin camera otput to digital USB format to dump your tape device to your puter.
    I had one around here somewhere, let's see, where did I put it, where can it be? Oh' yeh I loaned it to the Box man about 6 months ago.

    The device, including software is about 90 bucks at the Best Buys.

    Hey Deep.

    If you are getting into the world of Editing, make sure you have MULTO Hard Drive space spare. From memory I am chewing up 2 gig for every 10 mins of video I convert from Analog to digital to edit.

    I went out and got myself a Firewire Card and 2 x 300 gig External Firewire hard drives (They are getting cheaper each day). That was you have enough room to edit.. archive and then convert some to DVD down the track.

    Once its converted to DVD, its a ***** to get back to editable format - hence the idea of archive space.

    You are going to have a lot of fun..........but waste a lot of time LOL

    Cheers

    Wayne
