Producing video for conventions

[Mark Suszko]

“Kahunas” are a term for respected religious/tribal leaders in Hawaiian native society, roughly akin to priest or shaman.

I believe you mean to use the Spanish word, pronounced; “co-HO-nays”, referring to the source of a man’s virility.

Sorry for the OT, but this is a pet peeve of mine.

Sorry Mark, you’re absolutely right. In my haste I didn’t check my post for grammatical accuracy, which is a pet peeve of mine. I must say I’m impressed with your restraint, I would have expected more of a harangue or screed, or perhaps even a wigging by such an indiscretion. You have bested me on my strength, and for that I am humbled.

Hi David,

I just got through doing something similar, but the clips where a bit longer and required nearly immediate playback for group commentary of the presentations. What I do is use a file-based camera (Sony EX-1) which has two 8GB cards installed. As each person finishes their presentation I switch to the next card and am ready to record. In the meantime I take the express card and copy the file over to two USB drives attached to my laptop (which has the express card reader). A 20 minute presentation takes about 4 minutes to copy over to the drive.
It is best to have a data wrangler to handle the file copying, but if you like to live on the edge as I do you can do both…
