Help with video camera files???? 10 points!?

catchingfi

I've got some files on my Sony Super Steady Shot HR-SR11 Handycam or whatever, video camera that I really need to upload onto the computer. I can see the video's on the camera in the playback menu but when I connect it to the computer they are non existent. I REALLY need to get them up within the next couple of days and I have no clue why they aren't visible when connected to the computer. I have a Mac OS X, and this has never happened before.

If anyone can help I would be SUPERRRRR grateful and you will forever be my friend :)


...plus, i'll give you ten of these yahoo points

cheers XD

Answer
This is a hybrid camcorder â it can record video to a memory stick or to a hard drive. When you connect the camcorder to a computer, you have to choose which of these storage media to mount â apparently, you have mounted the one that does not contain the video, so choose the other. When connecting to the computer, see if a menu appears on the camera's viewing screen. Or read the operations manual.

Video camera recommendation?

Monique Mi

I'm currently debating between to video cameras. I want something so I can get video at horse shows, but then also get nice quality video because i do like editing videos to put on youtube. I'm finding you can't get good zoom and hd. So I can't decide which I would rather have. Which would you recommend of these two, or would you recommend something else? What would be most worth my money?

Sony handycam dcr-sr68
60x optical/2000x digital
680k pictures
standard definition

Sony handycam hdr-xr150
25x optical/300x digital
3.0mp pictures
high definition

Thank you for your help.

Video camera:?

twix4smash

Hi! I want to know if i can connect my sony dcr trv27e camera via Trillian as a web cam. Because in the yahoo messenger i can do this. Thx!
I know i must use trillian pro. But, HOW? What should i do to use my camera as a web cam? Can anybody help? Thanx!

Answer
Ok. you set up your camera on your computer first. do you have the streaming driver? Does the computer see your camera in control panel->scanners & camera? Is there a question mark next to your camera in the control panel->system->hardware-device manager? If the answer is no then you need to get that much working first. Get the driver from the sony site (link provided). Once that is installed and working you need to select the camcorder for sound and video source in the preferences menu for Trillian.

But be prepared for more issues. There seems to be connection problems with MSN. If the setup works for MSN, Aim, or Yahoo then your in luck, Trillian will probably work. If not, then most likely not. Time to get a webcam from Logitech. You may find that it will work with Java or web based cam sharing like iFriends instead. If you got it right Microsoft Movie Maker will capture the video feed.

I want to put my video on my video camera to google videos. so how do i do it?

i am VERY confused.

Answer
If you have Windows XP, there is an import function with Movie Maker through the Accessories. You can then edit it and upload it through that program.

The main question is...do you have Movie Maker....if not you can download it from Microsoft.

What are the differences between video cameras used on documentaries and ones used in movies?

best video camera yahoo image

Corey

How come the ones used in movies have a much better detail...? I am interested in buying a video camera for a documentary and am on a budget.

Would like to buy the best choice.

Answer
Unfortunately, there is no way you are going to buy a camera used in a movie. This is why. Movies arent shot with video cameras, theyre shot with film, 35mm in fact. Now remember how much it cost to buy a roll of 24 exposure film? Movies shoot 24 frames per second, which means that they use millions of feet of film for an entire movie, equivalent to hundreds of thousands of dollars. And I forgot to mention that an average movie camera costs $100,000.

As for documentaries, some are shot on film as well, but most are shot on video. Even though they are shot on video, the cameras used still cost at the very least $3000 (for an xl2, or a DVX100b). If you have the money, great! go for one of those cams, because they are great cams. However, if not, plan on getting a minidv cam with 3ccds, as many manual functions as possible, optical stabilizer and zoom, and a mic and headphone port, at the very least. The cams that fit these specs are the pv-gs cams by panasonic. A pv-gs300 costs around $700 new, but you could get a gs400 used for that price as well. Cheaper ones start at around $300-400, so go to froogle and do a search for gs250,300, 400 any of these are good. Dont go for the gs500, its still pretty expensive, and the gs400 has more functions. There are other cams as well, but these are the only cams in the consumer range that have 3ccds and good manual functions for a cheap price. If you have slightly more money, you could try going for a used canon gl2 for $1500 off of eBay (i got mine for $1475 plus $30 shipping). I'm into filmmaking as well, so feel free to contact me at evilgenius4930@yahoo.com. Hope this helps!

What is the name of the long pole you can attach a video camera to and video a soccer game?

Ryan

I want to video my daughter's soccer matches and have seen parents bring a large (20 ft) pole and attach their video camera to the top of it. They can watch the game through an attached monitor at eye level.

Answer
Hi Ryan:

There's a commercial product (I'll poke around & update, since my brain can't recall the tradename â EDIT: "Hi-Pod" X1, X2, thru X6 â see below) exactly as you describe that's been used for a lot of red-carpet events, where there are a lot of standing crowds or fences that wouldn't allow a good shot with just a tripod. It's designed for lightweight cameras, and has a simple LCD monitor and LANC camera control. It uses a simple mechanical tilt (panning is by the obvious pole-twist movement).

The usual method the "pro's" use is called a "jib" (after the Nautical term, like many other stage/theatre terms) or a "crane". So if you Yahoo!Search or Google those terms, you'll find other products similar to a "mini-jib", the "Jimmy Jib", etc.

There's one product called the "PoleCam" (see URL: http://polecamusa.com/ for a photo), but it's not the vertical-pole model I refer to above. Another similar product is the Hague K1 "HandyJib" from the UK: http://www.b-hague.co.uk/Handyjib.htm

hope this helps,
--Dennis C.

P.S. [UPDATE Edit] Thanks, new Y!A Contributor "Dave K."!
The Hi-Pod "X1-P" was the model I couldn't remember the name of. (They need to upgrade their MetaData on their site, 'cause thay didn't pop up in any of my Searches!)
