However, I never thought about the possibility of editing a VHS tape via a video camcorder and a IEEE-1394 board. E-bay has these boards for under $50. Now, I wonder, Do all digital video camcorders accept analog imputs? Could you suggest any particular brand and model? Please advise.

One might also go with the U-Lead video editing software if the cost of Adobe Premiere is too high. For sound editing I like to use Cool Edit (shareware from www.syntrillium.com), which I actually like better than Sound Edit on the Mac. Media Cleaner will take care of all compression needs, though I also use a very nice shareware program by Opticom to do Fraunhofer encoding of .mp3 files. > > I have seen IEEE-1394 boards with U-Lead video editing software for less than $100. You simply hook up your VHS VCR to your digital video camera, digitize the video, then upload it to the hard disk via IEEE-1394 ("firewire" cable) for editing, and later compression. The whole thing has become extremely cheap and effective. I still prefer the Sorenson codec add-on to Media Cleaner for digital video compression, though before I did that I just used the free Cinepak codec, which worked too. I mostly use Quicktime for Windows for the video, though I used to use Real Producer to do video and audio. > > All that being said: I prefer to work on the Mac for video, but on the PC for audio, but have done both kinds of work on both platforms. > > It is a great time to be working with digital video! > > Regards, > Tony Niesz > Yale University > > ------Original Message------ > From: LLTI-Editor <[log in to unmask]> > To: [log in to unmask] > Sent: September 20, 2000 12:07:36 PM GMT > Subject: #5707 software for video and audio processing on PCs > > > --- Forwarded Message from Otmar K.
