Question about HD storage
| | |
Posted by polarprincess (My Page) on Mon, Nov 9, 09 at 0:38
I will also post this on the photography page but am looking into buying either a new digital camera with HD video capabilities or something like a kodak Z18 hd videocam, but i cannot seem to figure out how and where these videos are stored after taking them. The description mentions that with a cord you can watch them on your HD TV, but I am assuming you must be able to load them up to your computer and then make a DVD or blu ray disc or something with them? Of not, then i don't get what is the point of having them at all? I tried to google this question and i got some stuff about using a software called pinnacle, but i didn't understand one iota of anything else.
Can you just upload them and store them right on the hard drive? If so does this take up a huge amount of space? I am not interested in storing anything on a portable hard drive because i hear of them failing all the time, and i guarantee i would lose it.. So what are my options? I am wondering if i should just stick with my regular videocamera that has DV tapes. Thanks for any info you can offer |

Hi polarprincess,
Normally, I just upload my pix/video's to my Windows Photo Gallery by way of memory card. Or, if you didn't use your memory card, you can plug in the cord provided with your camera to upload onto your computer from your camera.Just follow the instructions provided on the upload window that will pop up.
Not sure how much space is used. But you should be able to burn them to CD/DVD from there, too! And e-mail them to your family and friends from Windows mail. bbbluz |
