Hey everyone, I'm new to this whole VBlog'n thing, so don't mock my lame comments yet. However, I was wondering a few things to startup. I just bought a Sony DVR-DVD92 model with an extended battery.
1 - What would be my first upgrade to the camara, that works with the model. Some people are telling me that a microphone first, and hook up some cheap headphones to the camera. I don't see any hook- ups for the headphones on the camera, and the manual doesn't seem to lead to any outlets either. After shooting some footage for a vacation that I went on, it looks like a powered light may be a better option than a mic. Can you have both, there only seems to be one connention that would hold it. I'll be searching through the accessories later to see what my options are. 2 - The DVD has all my files converted into VOB. Is there a program that most people use that allows you to convert it to AVI or Quicktime compressions. Which compression is the best to convert into? My goal is to edit some of the vacation footage for personal viewing with the family, and then to also put some of the clips up on a Vblog. I would like to document my trip through Europe, and any others that I will be comming into. Is there a resolution that most people use as standard TV viewing and Blogg'n. I know that the bigger the resolution, the bigger the files. I was just wondering if there was a standard that most people use. 3 - I am going to be using my friend's Adobe Premier 6.5, and Affter Effects 5.5 I also have access to Serious Magic Visual Communicator. I'm totally new to all this stuff, and have no idea what I'm doing. Is there a 'basic' program that I can start in other than the Windows Media Movie program, or should I start there? Should I just jump into Adobe's program, and grudge through all the feature so that I could start to learn the program? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm a complete Newb with a new toy who wants to start making Vblogs and experimenting all over the place. NO information is too basic for me, as I am just starting. Even any tips on shooting the film would be great also. Thanks for everyone's help. Owen ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get Bzzzy!
