How do I make these?

Oooooh, I was kinda considering getting the wife a video camera for X-mas. I'll have to look into a digital one. She'll never figure out that the gift was for me too like the car parts I was initially considering!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

The 'digital' in digital video camera refers to how the images are recorded (digital vs analog) and not the media used to hold the video. This confused me when I was looking for a camera about a year ago. I have a Sony camera that records onto Hi-8 tape cartridges (about the size of an audio cassette). There are also video cameras that record onto MO disks, which makes the camera even smaller.

So you're saying that just because it is a digital camera it may not be able to download to the computer? I have to make sure that it has a computer interface.

An alternative to Ulead's program is WWWGIFANIMATOR (that's the program name not an address). It is easier to use IMO and has has built in wizards to reduce file size for you.

Just make sure the camera has a Firewire (1394) connector as well as the PC. Here's a link to a typical PC card at buycomp.com

Thanks Mike... as soon as I find some tinkering time...

I wanted to mention, at one point I thought maybe you were in the "Neon light business" with your "flashing name & etc."... /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

I like your signature better now... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif {easier on the eyes} /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Actually the flashing sig was supposed to be a subliminal message that would cause people to rush out and buy, not popcorn at the snack bar, but a Boomer at their local New Holland dealer. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

The one I looked at today was a Sony and it had a USB port. Is that okay? It went for around $1000.00. They did have one up from there but all it gave you was digital still shots for a whopping $700.00 additional cash./w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

I think if I even suggested another car I might as well look for someplace else to live. She likes the cars but thinks that if I want something else, one of my two will have to go first. Yadda yadda yadda..../w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif
