I can't seem to get the Mpeg2 files it puts out to be converted to Avi or Mov. I am trying to use the video in a Flash (flv.) format but the Flash encoder does not recognize mpeg. Needs to be Avi or WMA or mov. Has anyone got any ideas? thanks Alan I have a Canon DC40 that uses a mini dvd to record video.

Cheap, very durable, decent sound quality and easy for any novice to use. Put it together with a Dell laptop with CD burner, video editing software (I went with off-the-shelf ULead Video Studio 7) plus a battery recharger and a couple of spare batteries and had a decent setup under $2 K to not only shoot but also edit video in the field. I mention all the extra stuff only because it might be a factor when it comes to editing and getting your video web-ready ... not sure if you already have a separate editing suite you'll have access to for this video.

Almost any consumer or prosumer camera can make decent video. For good pictures you need a light on the camera and a high quality shotgun mic, also on the camera if you want an "easy" one man band. As for efficiency of operation, then you need to look at hard drive cameras or ones that allow you to connect the stand alone hard drive boxes to the camera.

It's one of the few consumer cameras that has an external mic imput so you don't have to use the lame camera microphone. There is a USB to connect to the computer too. Add a wide angle adapter and a longer lasting battery to the standard order and you're good to go. Oh yeah.. It takes great stills as well.
