Force_flow: Thanks. Looks like I need to add an understanding of website building in order to get video streaming going. Like, I thought this was gonna be easy, man!
glc: I've been reading up on firewire. Thanks for confirming and extending understanding. Firewire will definitely become a part of my new build.
Xayd: Yes, and I still use analog camcorders. Neighborhood access producers are volunteers, we don't get paid. We pay for the privilege of using access in membership fees, crew pay, tape costs, show sets, etc etc etc. I'm funding the cost of my shows out of my pocket. I don't have the luxury of switching equipment when the old stuff still works. Unlike other access centers, my access foundation is just coming in to the digital age. Therefore analog and its requirements still largely rule. I've learned patience. "When working on a shoe string, make sure it's a long one"
oem_guy: Good news. Just wish I could be sure my dinosaur system could give me full benefit of update. Definitely on my first build.
musicality: Unfortunately, I'm still working with analog equipment all the way (except for dvd copying). I'd be interested in Audiyoda's answer, though. Maybe the moneytree fairy will make it possible for me to upgrade in a major way and soon.
