How to Digitize Video

Capturing and running video clips on a computer has grown easier, but there are still many complicated issues involved. This book/CD-ROM set offers practical guidance on converting video movies into a format that can be stored, edited and played back on a Macintosh or PC. Focusing on hardware and software set-up issues, coverage includes advice on selecting, editing and preparing videos to be digitized. The book also explains how to select the best hardware and software within your budget, how to integrate high-quality audio and special effects, and how to output PC-produced videos to videotape. The CD-ROM which accompanies the text contains sample movies which can be played on both Mac and Windows machines.
