Mr. Mojo
Hey, Mojo. I was looking at your videos again and wondered what kind of camera setup you have. Could you give us all a rundown on how you get such good pictures? Anyone else with good results have hints on "how to"?

I'm using a Sony Handycam CCD-TRV57, it's a couple years old. I have it mounted on an I/O POrt racing camera mount, mounted to my Exotic Muscle harness bar.
I just bought DVD Express which allows me to convert from analog to digital a little easier and better than what I was doing.
In all honesty, I don't think all my videos come out that great, there are adequate, but far from great.
My next investment is a digital camera so I can plug it in and post instead of doing the conversion process.
I've attached a pic that kind of shows the camera mount(I have a few hats over it) I have better ones somewhere I just don't know where I put them.

The handcuffs were a prize from another forum where we had a best buns contest and I won. So the Administrator of the site(who is also a member here) presented me my prize at the track one day. I had no idea what I had won, just that I won.
So they are there for decoration and if the time ever comes up, I have them handy

Digital is not the complete answer. You still have to transfer to you computer and then save in a smaller format. The AVI files from a digital camera are extremely LARGE.
By using windows movie maker you can import and save in Windows WMV format - still digital but much smaller.
It does take time and you computer should be fast, have XP pro and 1gig of memory to ease the process.
