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.

Wo said there is no storage in a C4. Looks like you got all the space you need. Thanks for the video again, it was great.

Well the God's honest truth, the beer was for my buddies retirement party(I don't drink)

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

Nice camera setup. I agree....Using a digital camera takes all of the pain out of posting videos.

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.
