>Subject: Video Camera to Net Solutions?


Hello all.  I am about to spend a chunk of money and wanted to know how
you are getting digital video of student performances to the web.  We are
working on a Flash Media Server approach, but also want to be able to
capture video from a Mini-DV style video camera and get it on the web very
quickly.  One approach we like is to capture directly to QT 7, save it in
a watched-by-Sorenson-Squeeze-folder that compresses the files and sends
them to a webserver.  This seems a little complicated.  Getting to my
question- Do any of you have experience with video cams with harddrives?
Is there a large flash media solution?  We need to essentially digitally
replicate the reliability and ease of shooting video with a vhs cam and
then handing it to the student.  I am working on a basic workflow/hardware
plan here sans the security/networking nitty gritty.  Bob Majors could
write a book about this stuff.  Any experience-based advice appreciated.
Joseph
