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.

Thanks, David. I have a pretty good DSLR; I hadn't thought about it's movie function, but will check the manual. But no audio, right? Ned __ -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html

[LUTE] Re: Recording yourself
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?

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).

[LUTE] Re: Recording yourself
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.

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. Rob -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
[LUTE] Re: Recording yourself
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.
