Good ideas. Incidentally, I hadn't used a camcorder before last year, and learnt a lot as I went, but simple cue cards for things would be good. When I chatted to John on the phone we weren't clear whether the cameras he's got can be used whilst plugged into a DC supply (or if they could be plugged in directly at all). If that isn't the case then this plan goes out the window. > If we could get more than 1 external HD we could could speed up the > transfer from the SD cards so that it might be doable over lunch.

A NAS would probably be a bad idea --simply because you're throwing another thing into the mix. > I don't have access to SD cards - so I can't help there. np. I'll probably get one to simply find out how long transferring 16Gb off one takes.

My aim would be to have as long a load on the person caretaking each camera, simply because then we'd hopefully get more of the conference recorded :-) Michael. _______________________________________________ Europython-improve mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython-improve
