I'm looking for the best way to take 1-hour video from cam to streaming website? Best camcorder,format,etc...

Question

I am going to have 100+ people contributing one-hour videos to my web site. I need to make it as simple as possible for them. I will provide the camera and any needed software to them but am still puzzled with all the options. Ideally they can upload right from the camcorder and compress while doing so. Is that possible? Should I use a hard drive camcorder and what format should I record in? Any help woule be appreciated.

Answer 1

Theres so many questions here. theres many ways to do this.

First any digital camera(hard disk, flash, minidv) can upload to a computer. Then after you can play with you files on your computer and possibilities are infinites.

Theres many streaming options. You can stream them on your own site or you can put them on another site on put a flash pluggin on your site....
