Digital Lifestyle
Digital Lifestyle-we all know what it is, we can all afford the equipment to make it happen, but very few of us can take the final step from analog to fully digital. Join video producer Richard Thomas to examine some of the opportunities afforded by the switch to digital. Learn how to convert anything from analog to digital....8mm home movies, VHS, slides, tapes, vinyl records, 8 track tapes and even Betamax tapes. Discussion topics will include shooting home videos using digital cameras, You Tube, etc. It can all be done, often in fewer steps than you may think! Questions welcome.
