Packaging their video when it is finished Record as a Media file for CD or Flash Card

This is best when you are turning in a DVD or presenting once to a class.

It is not good for sharing with other people. There is a cost involved.

Packaging their video when it is finished Record directly to DVD with Camera set-up

from AudioVisual Services This is good for longer videos (over 30

minutes), Presentation Videos to be given to someone, Playback that is not exclusively on a

computer. It is not so good because there is costs involvedAnd extra rendering time to complete the video.

Packaging their video when it is finished Upload video to YouTube for viewing http://www.youtube.com/ This is good because you can share it with

either everyone or just a private group. It does not cost. It does take some time to upload.
