New PC and HD video cam day

Russell sounds like you are a happy camper,I am really glad for you.you will be surprised at all the new things they have on the windows 7,it is way above all there other apps. My sister is a computer programer/systems analist and she like the new stuff. she says you most people will only use a very small amount of the new system's. Have fun!!

You might want to check anything you buy too go with it,alot of the stuff out there is not compatable with windows7.

The camera arrived today the PC will most likely follow tomorrow I fired up the new camera and took some photos and made a few practice videos all I can say is WOW!! what a difference the photos are crystal clear as are the videos all in HD the videos default in avi format but I shouldn't blame my old Kodak it still works but its an 8 megapixle cam and the Fugi is 16 hense the improvment in quality

sounds like a good camera,your going to be busy the next few days with all the new electronics coming at you. guess what,I went too the 49er's football scedule today and found that there first real game will be sept. 9 with your packers.,and at green bay.!!!!

dont expect a good game neither team is going to risk losing a starter to injury before the season starts but it will be fun to watch anyway

well if its the first game anything go's I have to go with the Pack

My new computer arrived and a friend who works on them helped me big time set it up Its gonna take some time to get used to the pad I had to install my optical mouse till I get some practice on it,still have not figured out how to scroll up and down yet but any advice would be appreciated its a beautiful screen and I am looking forward to uploading some vids when I can.

dino I like the optical mouse better then the pad but when I go out I dont know if i will take it with me this is going to take a bit,the keyboard is smaller and i keep hitting the wrong keys but I'll get the hang of it

I got lucky and opened my TrakAx program and experimented with running my Boss BR-8 into the headphone jack on my new laptop I played a disk that was already mixed down and was able to record direct into the program it rendered it to a mp4 audio now I can go direct from my recorder to the laptop I just mute the internal mic and speakers and use a headset it recorded beautiful and saved it where I can find it when needed,this is good to know because I have my guitar,bass,keyboard SM 58 mic and a Boss DR.Rhythm going into a micro mixer tha plugs along with my guitar effects into the Boss loop station and then into a 4 channel pa head which has rca outs to my BR-8 so anything I want to create channels directly into my laptop program.I worked on setting up lighting and backdrops for videotaping I have in addition to the greenscreen a black felt sheet this will give me some other options along with location shooting so i am all set the Fugi HD cam has a ten second timer for vids so theres lots of time to get into position before it stars recording but the one feature I miss that my Kodak has is the ability to edit the video in the camera before downloading to the PC there is a program  that came with the camera its an editing program but I have not figured out how to edit the time I stop playing and turn the recording off this is important so Im gonna have to figure it out.

Dino Im working on it and finding a few shortcuts along the way

dino I did pickup a Targus black laptop bag for $3.00 at the local St.Vincent de Paul resale shop I was there yesterday and there was nothing I could use but this morning I stopped and there it was so I grabbed it up it needed some cleaning I used goo gone to remove some white smudges and it looks new my laptop fits comfortably and it has lots of pockets for extra stuff inside and out I looked the price up online it sells for $59.00 new so its a steal its a good day I was going buy a new one but I can use the money I saved to get some more strings and a few chords,every dog has his day
