RE: Kinda OT: DV editing - where to start

[Scott Crowther <scrowther@xxxxxxx>]

Hey James

My girlfriend happens to have worked on a recent DV project, testing
its
impact on education. As part of it she produced a 'DV CDRom' telling
you
everything you need to know about DV

Its free! (but theres a backlog sue to re-pressing - they've shipped
over
15000 of them so far!)

She says:

Yes they can order a cd

Email snail mail details to dvcdrom@xxxxxxx
This CD-ROM contains information about using digital video in teaching
and
learning. It includes ideas on how to get started, choosing technology
and
software, plus hints, tips, FAQs and other advice and resources. The
CD-ROM
also contains the findings from Becta's digital video pilot, films of
teachers in the classroom using this technology and samples of pupils'
work.

There is a bit of a backlog - we were waiting for a reprint - free to
everyone.

Join a mailing list (quite quiet) email email address to
digitalvideo@xxxxxxx
Useful stuff:

Lots of docs here - including choosing equipment etc.




Hope this helps

Subject: [ukha_d] Kinda OT: DV editing - where to start

Hi all

I'm not sure if this falls into or out of UKHA... as its computers,
cameras
and DVD :-)

I am looking to take the plunge into the world of Digital Camcorders, and
PC
editing, I am doing a bit of research at the moment, and am after some
advice / good websites with info on the subject.

I ideally want a DV camera that can plug into a PC, and allow editing,
then
put the finished footage back onto a tape. (ok eventually onto a DVD,
but
that's a future step!),  I see though that many of the cameras
available in
the UK do not have a DV-in connection - does the lack of this mean that
I
can't return the footage onto the camera once edited on a PC?

I presume Firewire is the preferred method of transfer between a Camera
and
PC - are all Firewire cards created equal - or are there some I should
watch
out for?

I last got involved in video editing about 5 years ago, using Pro
Panasonic
kit... its a new world to me now :-)

any help / advice appreciated

Regards

Daniel
