This site is a window to the world of Digital Video, created by the UMW New Media Center. It will aggregate articles under the broad category of video and re-publish them as a blog. Most of the articles will link back to the original article on the New Media Center website. We also have a series of pages that constitutes our introductory video tutorial. Here we talk about the Players, Shooting Video, Capture, Editing, and Encoding.
Digital video utilizes similar technology to digital audio, but adds a moving picture component. Digital video is not necessarily better than analog video, just a different way of delivering video content. Since they are digital files, they will maintain their quality no matter how many times they are copied. DVD, digital video tape (mini-DV), and flash memory are the common methods of storing digital video. Then the computer is used to edit and publish these videos in a variety of ways. We begin the tutorial by talking about the players and the formats.
