Low Cost Video Conversion Software

I was recently asked, "Is there some inexpensive video conversion software out the that was better than what comes with windows?" My reply was of course, it all depends on what you want to do. I ran across this software and tried it and it worked pretty well for the cost. It was very versatile in converting the differant formats. It even converts High-Definition (HD) video encoding and decoding like AVCHD to AVI makes it possible to get stunning High-Definition videos for HD video players. It also gives the ability to cut clips, edit,merge and split features. However; it is not the high end Avid, Final Cut or Premiere editing software for the Pros. It will work fine for the novice and Home consumer.... Go here and check it out... Full Video Converter Click Here!

Nikon D3100 DSLR Camera review

Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera - Digital SLR Cameras (Google Affiliate Ad) I recently acquired this camera to take my photography to another level. So far I have found the camera very versatile and easy to work with. It is a great camera for the novice as well as the experienced photographer. I am a professional videographer by trade, but; I really wanted to expand my skills into the still photography realm. A few of the features I was looking for were the ability to catch my images in motion. As a video guy this can be a challenge while experimenting with shutter speeds as well as aperture, to obtain the correct exposure. Nikon does a great job explaining to relationship in the operators disk that comes with the camera. I have also found the menu features of the camera are easy to find and if you are in a pinch, it can be operated in full auto mode. All the features of this camera are to many to post. I will continue to post my thoughts as I venture and have fun shooting. Stay tunes to my Blog and Pages as I will be post more Pictures taken with this camera. Thoughts, comments, tips and tricks are welcomed...

So I have employed the talents of a few fellow enterprenuers to teach me how this is dome on a large scale. My original intentwas to supplement my income while helping a few other unfortunate people with problems they were having in my expertize (the field of Audio Video engineering). While in the pursuit of answers to my own questions I have run across quite a few interesting systems in the field of marketing. I have learned to start web hosting my own sites. I have learned to create several types of web pages. I am now learning how to build my own lists of clients. I have also learned how to draw traffic to my sites. One of the ways I have been able to give back to my new found friends in this vast internet community is... some of my expertize in using a properly seting up video footage for use on the web and in marketing. The one thing that I have noticed is; although we have some great minds in the fields of marketing and communication, they definately could use some help when it comes to producing quality video.

LTFS Linear Tape File System

Welcome back to my blog! Today I wish to discuss a recent install I did. I installed a LTO Ultrium 5 Tape drive into a HP Z800 Workstation running windows 7 OS. The install was rather easy. I had to acquire an mini sas to external sas cable kit (part# 536309-001) discription - Cable kit - Contains SAS hard drive cable with bracket and mounting screws. It is imperative I mentioned this because this part was very difficult to find. I did acquire the part through a web search and a great deal of help from HP to get the actual part number from them. Once installed; Windows 7 OS recognized the LTO-5 Ultrium drive immediately. However, I did have to go to the HP site to download the HP StoreOpen Standalone software 7 64bit version. THis software release was greatly anticipated by myself and other frienfs in the fields of video editing. Since installing this drive and using the LTFS (Linear Tape File System) has been a plus for archive solutions to back up projects, saving archive footage, and saving valuable space when storage space on servers is at a premium.

Live video capture from Media Composer 3.1 and up is it Possible?

I would like to know if anyone has had any success in capturing a live video feed into Media Composer 3.1 to MC 6? My question would be, How did you get it into the system? What card did you use, Did you try Firewire(1394)? Did you do it without any conversion. How did you take care of the errors, like no video present, when you know it's getting to the machine. The OS is windows xp sp3 & Windows 7. Can anyone point in the right direction to go, or what method did you use? The discussion is open, I see no definte answers so far. Please post some answers back.
