Thanks, Steve.  I was sure I saw that somewhere. However, when someone asks for documentation, I'm at a loss sometimes.  I really was worried that I had made a mistake somewhere.   Your paragraph is exactly what I was referring to.  Now, if they have rights to use and transfer, etc., doesn

I use a Sony still camera which shoots MPEG-1 at VGA 30fps. Basically Standard Def Video. The system works well with a few caveats. You need to convert the MPEG file to something more edit friendly (you'll need to do this regardless if it's MP4 or MP1) -- I just go for MiniDV. This is a less th

Hey Mary, On a Mac it's not too much of a problem. You have to take all of your clips and run them through MEGP streamclip to convert them to dv for editing. On a PC I'm not sure how it works. I asked about this the other day and didn't really get an answer. BTW, I saw a Canon SD400 for

For the record, I'm a fan of Dick Cavett. I wanted to ask him two other questions: "What are you working on now?" and ""Have you experienced age discrimination in our youth-oriented culture?" I never got the chance to ask the important questions because he got overly defensive about his age. Ra

You can do whatever you like, that's one of the great things about vidoeblogging. Of course, if you want to reach a larger audience, you might want to create content with regards to that particular audience in mind. Also, don't get too hung up on stats. The longer you produce content, the more att
