The way I do it is to hook my video camera to the VCR outputs using the cable that has three ends, red, white, and yellow. I just set my camera to record. Then I use firewire to bring the video into my computer. Other more elegant ways to do this that I have no experience with are: 1. Buy a video card for your computer that has an analog input. If you don't have video editing software, Pinnacle sells a card with their package. 2. Buy a video bridge that has an analog input. Hollywood seems to be the most popular provider of this piece of hardware. 3. Some higher end VCR's have a digital output that you can hook into your computer. Finding one of these may be a challenge, though Once into your computer, you probably will want to save them in a more computer friendly format like Quicktime, Mpeg, or Real. Video editing software will let you do that. See my other e-mail about editing software. Either Roxio or Pinnacle's Studion DV would be my suggestion. After you get them in a digital format, I'd probably opt for Quicktime for the computer format. You can pay $29 to Apple to upgrade your Quicktime Player to Quicktime Pro that lets you convert other formats to Quicktime. This is much smaller and if you want to use the web, it is preferable to Real which is very annoying with all the commercial buyins they bombard you with.

We have some video tapes we created in our program and would love to make them computer friendly, but don't now how.

I teach computer skills to adult learners and I maintain our web site. We are purchasing digital video equipment with the hope of having our students record their stories on video & publish them on our web site. However, we only have pc computers and I am finding that most of the recommended editing software is for Mac. Has anyone used a good pc editing program and have a recommendation? Thanks, Jana Jana Hutton Adult Basic Education 245 37th Ave. N. St. Cloud, MN
