D.Lee Beard and Daryl Royer demonstrate how to import video into a computer and export back out to video tape. Using an analog to digital video converter (Canopus ADVC-100) the Techies explain how to import video from a VHS video tape. They also demonstrate how to hook up a Sony GVD-1000 MiniDV video tape deck and import video from a digital camcorder tape (note that a digital camcorder works the same way, but our lab does provide thee MiniDV decks so you don't have to bring your camcorder with you to import your video).
In addition to hooking up the equipment, they show how to actually import video into both iMovie '06 & the more advanced Final Cut Pro 5. (19 min)
Note that we now have two feeds for our vidoes. One in MP4 format which is compatible with the iPod video (320x240), and a second one that is in a larger format and better quality in an H.264 QuickTime 7 version (480x320): ideal for viewing the videos on your computer monitor.
