2009-11-03 Flip minoHD 120 camcorder Description: The Pure Digital Flip Video camera is the most popular camcorder on the market, so much so that Apple's Steve Jobs had it up on stage when he introduced an iPod nano that captures video.

It has been around for quite a while, but doesn't seem to get the press that the other tools get, despite the output quality being very good.

2009-07-02 Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac Description: When was the last time you turned on your VHS player? That long ago? Well join the club. As old VHS, 8mm, and other analog video tape join the Betamax, the question that remains is how do you archive all those tapes for future viewing? For Windows users, solutions such as Honestech's VHS to DVD 3.0 Deluxe have been around for a while. Mac users have also had some solutions, but not to the extent that Windows users have.    details ...

2009-06-16 Flip Video UltraHD with Flip Channels Description: When I first reviewed the Pure Digital Flip camera back in 2007, I liked the camera for its ease of use, video quality, and portability. The video camera pretty much set the video camera world on its ears, with more than 2 million cameras sold since being introduced several years ago--so much so that Cisco Systems snatched up the company. The latest version of the camera, The Flip UltraHD coupled with the latest version of FlipShare, keeps the solution a compelling one.    details ...

2009-05-01 Flip video delivers new Flip UltraHD Description: The Ultra HD in many ways is like it's predecessor, the flip.

However, there are many features that set this camera apart from its previous version, and any of the other competitors' offerings.   details ...

2009-03-11 First Look: Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Description: While Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 has been out for several months now, I thought I'd take a look at it from a Premiere Elements user perspective while still looking at some of the new features. The application is for professional video editors, but there is an upgrade path for Premiere Elements users. Both applications edit video, and both offer a wealth of transitions and effects, but Premiere Pro offers more professional features that aren't found in consumer level video editing applications.    details ...

2009-01-29 Streaming Networks' iRecord Pro Description: While most personal media generated today is done via mobile phone or digital camera, there is still a lot of content that needs to be transferred from one device to another to get on that iPod or mobile phone. And that is in addition to the loads of VHS, 8mm, and other video tape that is sitting around in boxes and drawers in people's homes. There are plenty of solutions that enable you to transfer that footage to a computer for editing, but there aren't a whole lot of solutions that can get it done without a PC.    details ...

2008-12-09 Serif MoviePlus X3 Description: Back in the early 1990s, digital video was postage stamp sized, and for consumers, there wasn't really any good software that could easily edit video. This was coupled with the fact that most computers ran on 64MB of memory, and a 2GB hard disk drive fast enough to handle video cost $4000. Fast forward to today and both Windows and Macintosh-based computers include video editing software as a "module" of the operating system, 500GB hard drives can be had for around $100, and most computers ship with 2GB RAM standard.    details ...
