How do you make a video?

[jackmac]

Hi ppl,
I thought about making a short video (mpeg) of my car. How should I go about doing so? I am no comp/electrical wiz., so need someone to explain to me the process and materials needed. Thanks.

The easiest way (IMO) is to get a digital camera that has MPEG/AVI/Movie making capabilities. Use that movie mode, use the software that comes with the camera and download to your harddrive.

Thanks for the reply guys,
I am also wondering if you need to host the video on a webiste once it is done. Could someone possibly host a video for me?
THanks,
JACK

I don't think you need to be a computer wiz to work with any digital video camera, miniDV or MicroMV. If you have a computer with a built-in IEEE-1394 interface (a.k.a. Firewire or i-Link), transferring video from a digital video camera to computer is pretty painless...as is compressing the resulting AVI files to another format like MPEG or WMV (assuming you have the software to do so).

I personally want to get the Sony IP7BT video camera. It is tiny, can record higher quality MPEG files than most digital still cameras can take (352 x 240 x 30fps...like VCDs) directly to Sony Memory Stick, you can record even higher quality MPEG2 video (like DVD's) on their MicroMV casette tapes, and has Bluetooth wireless connectivity! Of course, it is also pretty pricey!

That was my dream camera too... but there's a better one coming out from Sony.

Akira,
Do you know how much does a Sony IP7BT cost? My dig. camera is pretty outdated and thinking about purchasing a new one.
