Solve : Video recording software.? |
|
Answer» Does anyone know of some good free video recording software? Rob has some good suggestions for audio in his FAQ, but there isn't really anything for video. I'm using a Sony Digital Handycam DCR-TRV250 NTSC. It came with its own video recording/editing software, but I have no idea what happened to the CD, and I can't get a free replacement. I've been trying to use Windows Movie Maker, but it just doesn't cut it. Everything turns out very, very dark and when I TRY to brighten it, it doesn't look natural at all (it looks too hazy). SnagIt 8 is an awesome screen recording program. It's not free though. My mum got it for something....cant remember. I use it to make video tutorials of random stuff like how to create a custom icon for a USB Memory Stick and batch commands and stuff.Well, what I need is something that will export videos from my camera onto my computer. That does sound like a useful program, though; just not what I need at the moment.Is your OS Windows Media Center Edition, as mentioned in your signature block? What does your computer do when you connect your camera? I don't have a video camera but I'm surprised your OS won't do this without any third-party software, just as my Win XP Pro opens an Explorer window when I connect my digital camera. Also, does the MANUFACTURER of your camera provide any software, maybe something you could download from their website? Did the camera come with any software?1. Yes, I do have Media Center. I think the only think specific to this version (that I've noticed) is that it's compatible with TV tuners and has the Media Center program for organizing media files. 2. When I PLUG in my camera, it just makes the noise to indicate that a USB device has been attached. I think it doesn't do anything else because it hasn't been synced with any software. 3. I can use the software included on my computer (Windows Movie Maker), but the quality is very poor. 4. I looked for the software once before (I can't remember the name at the moment), only to find out that I would have pay something like $50 for a replacement CD. The software isn't supplied by Sony, so they don't have free replacements. 5. The camera did come with software (I'm going to try to have to find out what it's called again), but I have no idea what happened to my original CD's. I've searched all over my house for them.Virtual Dub Not sure it will fit your needs but does some of what your Adobe program will do...Thanks, patio. I'm having a bit of trouble getting this to do what I want (I want a bigger-sized video with decent quality that isn't 100's of MB for only a few seconds), but if I mess around with it a bit more, I might be able to get it to work out. Thanks for the suggestion. If anyone else has any other suggestions for me to try out, I'm still open. |
