Posting+ Uploading Videos
 

Hey do you guys know how to upload videos from your video camera to your computer?

And also, how can you post the videos on your website using html?

Is it a DV Camera? If so, then most DV cams come with a firewire connection that you can connect to your computer and record with a program like ulead video suite. I bought a firewire card for $20 and it came with the ULead software.

If it is a regular camcorder, you can use a hardware piece called 'Dazzle' that lets you use the video out rca into the Dazzle box, then the Dazzle box to the computer.

There's also another hardware/software package called Pinnacle. I'm pretty sure you can buy both of these at best buy / compusa / any local computer store.

To post them to a website, you just put it on your webspace, then make a link to the file on your html. There are ways to make it play in the browser if it's a wmv file, but I'm not 100% sure how to do this anymore.

windows xp also comes with movie maker which isn't totaly horrible.

to post a video:

< embed src="http://www.yoursite.com/yourfile.wmv" autoplay=false > - or true if you want it to automatically play when the page is launched.

remove the spaces before and after the < >

as for getting the video from your camera, if you post the type of camera you have, you might actually get a response that you can use. otherwise the answer is, as has already been said, either firewire, or a breakout a/v box.
