Help on posting video footage

[MaadDaawg]

I have an old Sony video 8 that takes digital movies on either tape or smart stick. It is also capable of streaming directly to the internet. I've never used it for making a You Tube vid but would like to make one of parts of my "the BEAST" review.

Can anyone offer "you tube for dummies" info for me?

tks

Thanks Supes :P

You know how to get the contents of the tape digitized on your computer Maad ?

[MaadDaawg]

Yeah Benchman, it uses a firewire cable and can stream directly into the computer, or, on tape or stick for later transfer. Got a bunch of video software to change it to whatever format it needs to be in.

You know, I had an old sony that came with alot of software for video editing and stuff. Problem was.......they didn't include the software keys to activate and use the software.

I'm 83% sure you can use windows movie maker to import the video from your cam. I'm 87% sure that taking video via the smart stick comes out choppy and at a lower resolution. I'm 100% certain that playback of video on Sony Devices is 50% better image quality than on anything else. (by Sony design of course).

Lovin the 83%, rofl.

There is a 78% chance Kal is making numbers up :)

Save the video on your PC as RAW AVI, if it doesn't support that, then choose the best quality possible and then convert it to h.264 with Mainconcept Reference ( rip the video to your PC and then I'll give you the exact settings for the h.264 compression )

Kal, I'm thinking it's 83.275% but then, who's counting :laughing:

I'll let you all know when I get it recorded and saved - there's a 75/25% chance I'll figure it out myself.... amazing things do happen :P

I think youtube supports more than AVI...

I see lots of youtube videos tagged (mp4, wmv etc)


edit: yes

Once you edit your video, make sure it's smaller than 2GB in size, in an acceptable file format, and less than 15 minutes unless you have permission to upload videos of unlimited duration.

WebM files - Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codecs
.MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files - Typically supporting h264, mpeg4 video codecs, and AAC audio codec
.AVI - Many cameras output this format - typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM
.MPEGPS - Typically supporting MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio
.WMV
.FLV - Adobe-FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio




For SD stuff rip at 480P and just use windows movie maker. Handbrake is also nice, and supports up to 8 threads :)

Of course it does.
I told him to rip it as AVI to avoid any kind of crappy video conversion from the cam's software.
Once he's done with ripping and any kind of editing, it's time to encode the video to h.264 via Mainconcept
