The ball in Times Square is about to drop and you want that feeling you are there celebrating among the New Yorkers. Well, with webcams and “big brothers” out there, I found a web site for webcam watching. Earthcam.com is a great way to tour around without leaving your living room.
On earthcam, you can be at Times Square looking from different cameras when the ball drops. How about seeing New Years in London or Moscow? You can do that on this site. You can even see if anyone is getting married in the wedding chapel in Las Vegas.
So, you can watch the New Year on television or you can track the New Year using earthcam.com. Just enjoy yourself and drink in moderation so that the hangover don’t hit you so bad. Happy New Year.

DVD Authoring Help
Christmas is coming and someone asked me about transferring their camcorder video to DVD and what software to use. I needed some more information before answering this question.
This is what I know;
The DV camcorder has some software with it but that person wants to use something different. Besides the Pinnacle Studio that I use, I talk about the Ulead Videostudio and the Roxio Videowave to do the editing as well as burning the DVD movie. With most of these editors, you can add a sideshow to your work as a extra project to impress the viewers.
The only thing that would take long would be the process. My personal experience with editing, encoding and burning would take me up to two hours. Inexperience videographers would take longer to know what they are doing.
Maybe your family gathering maybe droll, spice it up with a Q&A session, Having them to wish a happy holiday or you might want to add narration to make special documentry.
This is what I know;
- The camcorder the person uses is DV format, not the 8mm format. It also has a firewire or I-Link port as well as a RCA output ports and USB 2.0 port.
- Their computer was compatible for downloading music, playing games, office suite and surfing the internet.
- They have a 200gb hard drive as their second hard drive
- The computer has all the ports, USB and Firewire
