Re: [videoblogging] Re: Video Conference Capture...
Am very interested in how this thread will go. The capacity to get high quality images from anywhere in the world via simple interface would be groundbreaking. Problem is, every interviewee will have a different quality camera (if any) available. Now, if you're willing to ship them a good quality camera with which to work, a camera that your subject is willing to ship to the next interview subject, then perhaps you will have consistent quality. You'll have to walk them through the setup, and be prepared to walk them though both PC and mac interfaces, but that could work using iChat or Skype.

Also, their frame rate probably won't be anywhere near 29.97 fps. -- Bill C. http://BillCammack.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Ron Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey all, I have a question...

It depends on what you mean by capturing and what you mean by video conference. If you mean an IRL conference about video, then you shoot it with a video camera, and you have DVD quality.
