how do i burn a dvd while recording live?

Q. I am a college basketball coach. It would be extremely efficient if, after filming the game, we had a finished copy of the game already burnt onto a dvd.

I am trying to skip the step of have two mini-dvds and having to burn them onto a larger disc after the game.

A. This is actually pretty easy.

You will need two things - a dvd recorder and a video camera with an audio/video output.

It will work better if you have the camera on a tripod. Connect the AV output on the camera to the AV input on the recorder using the AV cable that comes with the camera.

Both items should be available at any Walmart or online. Your current camera may work too as long as it has an AV output.

If you need more help, feel free to e-mail me.


How much should I charge to film and edit basketball games?
Q. There youth basketball games, hockey games, all sports. How much should I charge the parents. For some people I will be doing highlights, for some people I will just record the seasons for them, and clean them up in the editing rooms. How much per game or season, is $20 a game too much?

A. is it just one parent on the team asking for the videos? if more than one want the same thing, then you can charge less for copies, since it's very cheap to make a copy once you are done - $20 for the one - if 3 parents want copies, then make it $15 each - you get $45 total for the game. video camera are so cheap anymore - almost everyone who has kids in sports probably already has one

that's a lot of time spent editing - how much per hour will that come to for your $20?

I would charge probably $10 per game per copy just for an unedited video of each game - let the people do their own editing - the kids can probably figure that out on their own


Is it legal for our neighbor to install a camera that watches our house?
Q. Our neighbor has (for whatever reason) installed cameras all around his house. That's up to him I guess, but the one installed closest to our house is pointed directly at our driveway and garage. We hang out outside all the time, playing basketball and sitting in the garage and stuff like that, and it just seems rather strange to know that we are on someone else's video feed when we choose to hang out outside. I don't feel like this is legal at all.. Is it? Also, I live in the state of Tennessee, if that helps with specific laws.

A. It is legal. I have cameras that record the entire perimeter around my house. It's nothing personal against the neighbors whose areas they cover. You might be glad if someday someone screws with your property and there's a recording of it. Your neighbor probably has better things to do than watch you play basketball.
