Cool pictures, DDL. How about some videos??? Hard to appreciate bellydancing in full without seeing the movement. Any?
 
I have video on VHS, but I don't have the slightest clue how to get that into a format that is web viewable. If someone can explain how, I'd be happy to look into it. We're hoping to have a troupe website soon, so I'll have more pictures and info then...and maybe video (if someone explains how).
 
To get your VHS to web-viewable:
Easiest way: ship your VHS off and have somebody else do the digitization
Homebrew way: run the video-out cable of your VCR into a video capture card on your computer and record the incoming signal. Ya gotta have the tools, the time, and the know-how.

There might be some tricksy way to get around this if you had a vhs<->dvd recorder, and then ripping the dvd. Long and short, it's hard.
 
Or if you have a digital recorder (lots of cameras have them), you can play it on your TV and just record the image like a normal video. Then upload to your computer like normal, and voila! Slightly lower quality, but it's easy-peasy.
 
Okay, I sometimes consider myself to be technically savy...this is not one of those times.

I recorded the performance on my personal video camera (which goes to a little tape). Then I hooked up my video camera to the input of the VCR and made the VHS tape.

Can I just hook my video camera up to the computer and do it that way? How do I know if it has a digital recorder?

If that doesn't work, I think there is someone I work with who can make VHS into DVD. If I had the performance on DVD, then could I load it to the computer?
