Krrr
So my math teacher has a video tape of our class, the thing is no one in my class knew she recorded us until she told us, she told us this because our class was out of control and if we didnt calm down she would send the video to the principal or someone like that. After she told us everybody was freaking out, and im kinda freaked out too. I was just wondering if video recording someone with out their permission is legal.
Answer
The answer depends on the state in which you are located. In most states what your teacher did would be legal.
Many schools have surveillance cameras in classrooms and hallways.

How do I choose not to record sound on my Sony HDR-HC3?
Joe
I am trying to not record the audio portion while using the Sony HDR-HC3 and was hoping there was a way to do it on the camera or on Dartfish.
Answer
Hi Joe, and welcome to Yahoo!Answers:
I'll assume you are using Dartfish to capture sports-analysis footage (or other non-classroom scenes) where the audio track isn't needed or wanted.
Since the Sony HDR-HC3 doesn't have a normal "external mic" input jack that you could mute by inserting an "empty" 3.5mm stereo (1/8" phone plug) connector, it will be easier to mute the audio using the Dartfish "DV Import Tool" after you finish recording, since you have a DV/HDV cassette camcorder.
When you start Dartfish, and select the DV Import dialog, and if you click on "Recording Options" there's a section marked "Capture Device" which has two drop-down menus: one for the Video source, and one for the Audio source.
This is where you'll be able to select ANY other audio source that's NOT the DV Camera audio (usually called "Microsoft DV Camera" in the menu). You should be able to select your normal sound card recording sources, and just go into your Windows Control Panel (in your Start Menu) for "Sounds & Audio Devices" and click Mute or Mute All for any microphone or line recording inputs. The original audio stream from the DV tape will be bypassed with this method.
I don't have the PDF manual for the Handycam HC3 right now, but there may (or may not) be a way to fade down the built-in microphone inputs in some camera menu setting. (I'll post an update link in my Sources below, if I find that from Sony.) This is the big difference between a pro-level camcorder (with real audio knobs) and a consumer camcorder like the HC3.
Make use of Dartfish.com's customer support help, when using their software. Here's an online video tutorial covering the basic menus & workflow for importing DV footage (start viewing at 04:30 for DV Import): http://www.dartfish.tv/Presenter.aspx?CR=p3c4873m12986
hope this helps,
