I'm sorry I've not really said much about these since I did take them, but so far I've not had the ability to convert them to a decent format. The camera was borrowed from a family member and I spent at least a weekend messing around with 1394 drivers on my laptop until giving up. I was hoping eventually to get a 1394 card for a desktop machine and resuming my efforts, but I've not worked out when I can borrow the DV camcorder again. In any case, the audio quality was *awful* and in the future I would recommend anyone taping such events to bring a microphone of some sort. (wireless?)
At this point, I might get a 1394 card for a desktop machine if I can swing it during the holidays, or if someone really is willing, I am willing to send the tapes to someone with the equipment to convert them to a sutable format for online viewing. Thanks for your patience for those who asked about the video. [In retrospect, if I'm going to buy a camcorder of my own, those dvd recordable camcorders look awesome compared to dealing with 1394 and DV :) ] -- Scott Dier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> KC0OBS http://www.ringworld.org/
