video cameras

[shaolin]

i have two questions,

if i shoot some video on a regular video camera is it possible to get it onto my computer and edit it and all that and would the qulity be the same as a digital video camera?

can some 1 point me to a good digital video camera for a max of 2000 aussie dollars (roughly 1000 american)

u can record off a normal cam, but the quality is not as good as digital (because it has to go through low quality tapes.)

U should just go to an electrical store and ask the salesguy about em, he could give u more info.

But anyways, all u need for a digi cam, is a firewire card ($99) and then u hook the cam straight to your comp :)


Ill see if i can find a good one...

ya i just ordered my new comp *about 30mins ago* and i got a capture card w/ it...so that means that i can just plug my vid camera right into the comp, put the vids on the comp, edit them, and put them back on tape...atleast that's what i came to understand??

[crustyfmx250]

yeah fullthrottle, thats about right :)

and shaolin, if u get a digital camera, it will have a place for the firewire cable, so u just hook it from the cam to your comp, and record the video :)

(u might wanna buy a video editing program, it will make it a lot easier than my way of doing it..)
