Formats for Digitized Video

Video Transcript

"In this clip, I will talk about other things that you can do with your captured footage. Well, obviously, we captured our footage, from our VHS tapes and put it on DVDs. In the process, we've also created video files on our computer, here. Those video files can be used in other ways. DVD is, yes, the best medium because, you know, there are so many DVD players out there. Almost every computer, nowadays, has a drive for them. You already have the video file on your computer. It's not that hard to put it into a different format, which could be used for something else. That could be YouTube or you can post on the Web. That's an easy way to share with other people, especially, if they are not close by. They are in another town, state, country or whatever. They could be anywhere around the world. What I mean, is that, by putting it on YouTube, or other similar websites, you can give it to other people and they can see it. Also, you could E-mail it to the. You could just have the video file and you could keep it on your hard drive on your computer. Then, as you collect more videos from your other VHS collections, you can start putting them on there. You can take them all, edit them altogether and make a montage. You can make another DVD, down the road, that is a large collection of all of your old footage. So, there are quite a number of things that you can do, once your footage is digitized and on your computer."
