best camcorders home use image
jjtcorsair
I'm starting to amass quite a collection of HD videos shot with my camcorder, mostly typical home movie stuff. For a while I was editing them and burning the edited videos to dvd. That takes a lot of time and I've fallen years behind. For now I just keep all the videos on my hard drive (and a back up drive). What do you do with all those gigabytes of video? Edit them, stream them from your computer? Burn them raw to disc? Thanks.
Answer
Main options:
-Hard drive, especially with redundancy. A RAID-1 setup is a good start.
-Blu-Ray archival. Get a Blu-Ray burner, which can be found around $100 now, and some discs. Personally, I like burning all my raw media to Blu-Ray disc, unchanged - camera folders intact. If you have time and space, make doubles of every one. Then, save at least one copy of your edited video in the best resolution that fits the project (for example, a standard-def DV file for videos edited from MiniDV sources...or something like Avid DNxHD or Apple ProRes or Apple Intermediate or Adobe DVCProHD or AVC-Intra for HD videos).
Another solution, one that will cost, is sending them out to be backed up to hard drive, Blu-Ray, DVD, whatever. It comes down to what your time is worth to you, and what you can afford. There's no real easy or best answer, but those are some options.
