   Thanks again, David.  That video on you tube is very clear -  entirely
   adequate, as you say.  I have very good audio recording gear, so will
   check out Samplitude, or other syncing software.

I have a Nikon P5000 digital photo camera. Video is 640x480 dpi 30f/s,
decent enough for YouTube, as it turns out (www.youtube.com/luitluit
and www,youtube.com/lutelessons). Audio is awful. I record the audio
independently, syncing it in Samplitude (could be different software,
obviously).

Some DSLRs have a seperate Audio-in jack. If so you could go through a  
USB mic, to whatever computer software you use, out the computer's  
audio out jack and then into the camera to be recorded there. Check  
what kind of audio files it can create first.


Or record audio into the computer, the video onto the Nikon and synch  
up/edit later.


Better yet, can your PC software see the DSLR as a video-in?

might be possible using older used macs too.  Apple has technically
obsoleted lots of machines with recent OS X upgrades, Leopard wont run on
older G4's, and snow leopard only runs on, hmm, whatchamacalit hardware,
the stuff we all thought Macs would obsolete some day.

The older G4 I use now was a gift, still useful, even for the video you
are talking about; street value might be $400, if I could find a buyer;
much of that lies in the PCI cards and memory I added to it.

Look to mac resellers for info, most of them are happy to correspond and
configure your new toy with memory, support for todays hard drives, a way
to connect whatever camera you are using.  Firwwire is built into many G4
machines, but not all; however a pci card fixes that cheaply; and drivers
are built in.

The ilife suite of applications was bundled with G4's when they were new,
but often is long gone for a used machine; however, ilife08 is available
for those machies running Tiger (like mine), and ilife 09 is current an
will run on any machine using the leopard version of OSX operating system;
neither ilfe versino is terribly expensive.

Whichever OS you are using, you should own a set of the DVD or CD install
media; apple will have updaters for it that you can download for free. 
Once you have your Tiger system patched up to 10.4.11 you should copy it
to a flash drive or burn it to DVD for a backup.  Then the fun begins!

When  I tested a low end webcam, the result wasn't too good:

My old Canon digital photo camera was better, an exampe

2009-08-22 Thread Daniel F Heiman
Ned:

The main reason for choosing a webcam rather than a video camera is
obvious:  price.  Webcams can be purchased for less than $50.  But again,
obviously, there is going to be a tradeoff for that low price, and that
comes in the lower resolution and lower image quality of webcam output
vs. that from a hand-held video camera.  A typical webcam may only put
out 640x480 images as its native resolution, and anything higher must be
interpolated, leading to pixelation.  The sensor in a webcam may also use
CMOS technology rather than the CCD technology that is more-or-less
standard in a video camera, so the dynamic range (light to dark) will be
somewhat less.  The software package you get with the webcam should allow
you to capture video of your playing to a computer, but check the specs
before you purchase.

Older computers may impose limitations as well, in not being able to
handle the data stream effectively.  Anything with a USB2 port should be
fine.

   YouTube now allows upload directly from a webcam. If you don't want
   anyone else to see it, you can choose that option. It also saves your
   hard drive from clogging up.

If you're on an iMac you can record directly into iMovie using the  
iSight.


iKnow for an iFact it iWorks.
