Adding Videos

[jayman]

I have some video from the Ocala race that I want to post.  I have a few questions:

The first being that I have a JVC mini dv Digital Camcorder and I do not have a 1394 plug on my computer that is required to transfer it.  I can record it to my DVD Player that is also a DVD Recorder.

2  If I record the entire tape to the DVD Recorder then burn it on a disk then download that to my computer what do I need to edit the video to make it only a few minutes long each set.  I am a photobucket memeber but I am sure that I have to make the clips prior to using photobucket, correct?

Please help me so I can post this up as I have a video of the wreck where the guy hit the chain link fence 10' in the air.  It was BAD!

I wish you would hurry up and get it figured out. I want to see it.

I have to go buy some dvd blanks so it will have to be tomorrow   

Then I have to spend the time making it 

Maybe I can get some contributions to expedite my services

Well I was able to get it transfered to the dvd but I can not get it to convert to other file names.  I have used so many different software packs but cant get it right for photobucket.  I can play it finally on my computer using the VLC Player but that is all.  I have been on this for 3+ hours now.  Tomorrow I will go see if there is an adapter to go from my firewire 1394 plug to a regular usb connection.  Maybe then it will pull it in as another file

Have you tried to save it as a mpeg file?

Have you tried to save it as a mpeg file?

Yes, I tried .mpeg, .mpeg2, .jpeg, and right now I am trying .mpg
