Would like to know how to record audio and video into my computer.?

Q. I work for a church and we would like to record the services both audio and video and have the information go directly into a computer. We have a video system that we can employ but we need to know what software is necessary, what computer you would recommend and what the process is. Any information would be extremely helpful. We want to post audio and video onto our website.

A. if you want to work with videos you'll need a computer

core 2 duo
2gb Ram memory
250GB HD
a 256mb graphic card

you need a digital camera to record what you want

you can use nero vision to edit the videos

you can upload the sites at youtube which is easier to use


I need to purchase a video mixer to make dvd's live during a church service.?
Q. What features should it I look for the device to have to get the best quality video. I also would like to be able to hook up at least 3 cameras.

A. There are a couple of products out there that will work. I would start with the NewTek Tricaster and Video Toasters.

If you have a secondary recorder or computer to record on, you could get one of the Focus (formerly Videonics) mixers:

You can also get the Roland Mixer:

I think the most important thing for a live switch set-up is the ability to preview all of your sources. That means either having a video monitor for each camera or a display screen that show all of your cameras. The NewTek products and the Focus products have this built in. I don't know about the others.


hi was just wondering if the jvc gy hm 700 would be good for live broadcasting to also film my church services?
Q. I have also looked at the jvc gy-hm100e but really dont know the best camera to get that would give a professional broadcasting look

A. If the task is only for "live broadcasting" then using a camcorder is not a good idea. Camcorders have a tendency to go to sleep after a period on not recording video/audio and when they go to sleep, they power down and no video will be "broadcast".

The "best camera" to get "a professional broadcasting look" is to use an appropriate studio broadcast camera. Refer to the professional broadcast areas at
Canon: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/broadcast/products/ptz_cameras
Sony: http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/cat-broadcastcameras/cat-broadcastcamerapantiltzoom/
Ikegami: http://ikegami.com/product_indexb.html

If you reduce the requirement to something other than "a professional broadcasting look", then the shopping list changes.
