• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Need Help with Video Capture Solution...

Okay, so I'm shooting with a Canon XHA1 in HDV format. 1080i HDV recording, and I'm trying to find a reasonable solution for capturing my video and being able to send these video clips via email or upload to a server, so the TV station can use them.

Obviously, time is always a critical thing. Right now, I'm using Sony Vegas to capture my video. Problem is, Sony Vegas captures and saves these clips as .m2t files, which are incredible HUGE. The quality is great, yes, but imagine trying to send 20 seconds of video that amounts to about 50MB or more! Doesn't work trying to email or upload to a server.

Anyone have suggestions on a good quality HDV capture solution, that doesn't make a file 100+ MBs in size ???

Thanks in advance !!!
 
That's a good question. I have been downconverting in camera, then capturing in DV and editing in Premiere Pro before uploading. As for HDV, I have heard of people using Quicktime (something called a H.264 Codec) for HDV upload. I have never tried it as my computers are too slow, and I don't know about file size.
