Analoge converts badly to digital unless you put the footage direct from camera into a dvd recorder (stand alone) then digitise the dvd in a video editor I use ULEAD VIDEOSTUDIO 11 (now owned by Corel and on ver 12)
then save it as an mpeg II file download a FLV convertor convert it to FLV then post on youtube (or in mpeg4 format if you download an mpeg4 convertor) but you do need a good video editor, windows moviemaker is ok but limited.
Sounds complicated but it isnt in practice.

Thanks Fred for that helpful advice. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle USB gadget that I can plug my analogue camcorder straight into my computer. It looks OK when I'm transferring the footage onto my PC, but the quality is poor after editing and playing back.

I didn't want to use the video mode on my digital still camera when I went to see the Tommy Sale stand demolished. I was low on battery power.

Fred. Do you think you and your Andrew could put all this together and show it on the big screen at half time at maybe our last home game of the season. Its good entertainment showing where HP started to being demolished. The LSV from start to finish. Along with pics and footage of our past players and games. It is something that I wanted to get off the ground for the closing of HP but never happend. Now we have the big screen already there I think it would be fantastic presentation.

Thanks Mishmash for your comments. I spoke to you on the day they knocked down the Tommy Sale stand. Your photos are absolutely stunning. I was taking video with an analogue video camera of the stand being knocked down. But I can't seem to get the quality right converting it to digital to upload to Youtube. So, I've made a slideshow of the photos I've taken over the last month.

Yeah I remember you - I think we were busy trying to keep out of each other shots!!

I've already sent Fred some of my pics but there's that many it's difficult to choose the best ones, anyway I'd be more than happy for some of my pics to be used in a video - there's no point taking photos if no one ever gets to see them!

apparently the 'big screen' is lacking some hardware to allow it to show any video or photo material but Andrew should perhaps be able to enlighten us more.

I went to my first match at Hilton Park in 1963 with mi owd mon
it was against Bramley we won easy from that day on i was hooked
on Leigh RLFC ive have so many happy memories of that ground
when i think of it spent a lot of my childhood, teenage yrs and adult life
goin to watch Leyth there when i think of the Blood ,Sweat &Tears
Tommy Sale and his army of helpers did for future generations
of RL Fans it his very sad to see it knocked to smithereens but one good
thing to come out of it the Great Local Hero Tommy Sale is still with us after all these years to see the dawn of a new era for Leigh Rugby at its new home down Sale Way at the Sporting Village and that makes me feel proud to be a Leyther and proud to have spent so many happy days watching LEIGH RUGBY LEAGUE TEAM PLAY at the ground created by so much hard work by Tommy & Co THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

Could you not make a short film, photographs and video combined - make a DVD, sell it, giving any profit to LISA or something?

I'd definitely buy one.

I wouldn't say better than any, but I'd say better than most. LSV, in my opinion, is better than :-

Bradford, Castleford, Catalans, Celtic, Hull KR, Leeds, Saints, Salford, Wakefield!

So 9 out of 14 ain't too bad! I'd say LSV is on a par with others! It's definately SL standard!

Just a shame your team never will be

I have tried umpteen of those gadgets and have found none to be very good, if you know someone who has a DV camera with DV -IN then they could put the footage onto computer using your camera attached to theirs and go through the firewire port straight digital conversion into your editor.
