Dispelling the Myth DV produces 720x480 pixel pictures
(broadcast quality) Some cams have up to 1.5M+ pixels for
digital pictures Would you buy a 1.5MP camera today? Camcorders DO NOT make good digital

Dispelling the Myth Most Digital Cameras produce low
resolution/frame rate video, many without sound (but within that limitation they serve a useful purpose)
A few do produce acceptable video. The Fuji S602 when combined with the 1GB IBM Microdrive will produce a very reasonable 680x480 15 minute video with sound. And up to 30 minutes at lower resolution (VHS), OR about 3000 high resolution pictures.

Mini DV Camcorder Features Up to 20x Optical Zoom 500x Digital Zoom – Of very
limited value Viewfinder and LCD displays Battery life and HOW do you
charge the batteries (YES you’ll need 2 batteries)

Minimum PC 600MHZ, 1.0GHZ+ better 128MB, 256MB+ better Lots of disk space, 40GB marginal
Consider 200GB for $100 as a second drive for video
Video, sound, 1394, analog capture card, USB 2.0
Check your video software, I’d use their recommended PC, not their minimum PC
25
PC OS’s Most to least desirable – XP, W2K,
98SE, ME Very limited NT Support Be aware of the 4GB file size limit
of FAT32. XP or W2K with NTFS recommended
26
Why XP?
The most stable Windows OS The best supported OS Plug and play Expanded device support Supports NTFS file system Includes WMM 2 Second choice for video is W2K
27
NTFS File System Stability and Recovery from errors Efficient for small file sizes,
directory cluster size, file lookup Up to 8 Peta bytes (1,000,000
GB’s) No 4GB file size limitation

Vendor Editor Software $100 Range Digital Video Creator 80 (Dazzle), Dazzle recently
merged with Pinnacle DVD Movie Factory 2 (Ulead) DVD Picture Show 2 (Ulead) Screenblaster Movie Studio (Sonic Foundry) Studio 9 (Pinnacle Systems) and other related
products. Video Explosion Deluxe (Nova) Video Studio 7 (Ulead) Video Wave 5 (Roxio)

Vendor Editor Software $300 Range – May contain breakout box hardware Digital Video Creator 150 (Pinnacle/Dazzle) Hollywood DV Bridge (Pinnacle/Dazzle) Studio Deluxe (Pinnacle) Studio Moviebox (Pinnacle)
Above $300 Liquid Edition 5 (Pinnacle) Premier (Adobe) Vegas 4.0 (Sonic Foundry)
30
Video Player Software You’ll also want to be able to
view video on your PC (besides the video editor preview window) that’s quick and easy to use
Windows Media Player (WMP version 9) that comes with the Microsoft OS’s will do the job, in addition to many others
31
Commercial DVD Format Single Sided, Dual Layer (DVD9)
Top layer 4.7GB Bottom layer 3.8GB Total 8.5GB
32
Recordable DVD Format Single Sided, Single Layer (DVD5)
4.7GB Dual Format – and +, Both formats
are popular Four Media’s DVD–R/RW and
DVD+R/RW DVD-RAM, Not nearly as popular
as the Dual Format’s
33
Recordable DVD DL Format(Dual Layer)
Just starting to become available for consumers
Cost about $300 Media cost? Software support?
34
DVD Labels (physical labels) When compared to CD’s DVD’s have higher RPM DVD’s have higher temperatures
General Advice – DON’T LABEL DVD’s Use permanent pen Or printable DVD’s with printer
35
Windows Movie Maker 2 Screen shots from WMM2 The functions of WMM2 are typical
of video editors
