I will try. It may just take me some time before I get there. (Prior planning, and all.)
Thank you all very much for your help.Norman Willis

I guess, about how long would it take a pro to edit a one hour presentation like that?
And how long would it take a mediocre editor (such as myself)?
Thanks.Norman Willis

I called B&H. They were very helpful. They said there would likely be a “jump” when switching HDMI input streams unless I went with a mixer (Edirol/Roland). So basically $3-4k in gear would be about the cheapest (and even that is mixing consumer and pro gear). So I can pray in that direction.

>> I’m curious as you why you feel you need to capture uncompressed. Are you having problems with compression artifacts in your current workflow?
John, thanks for asking. I could really use some advice/help. I have one volunteer editor, and I can generate video a lot faster than he can edit, so I am looking for ways to dramatically decrease editing time in post, hopefully using equipment on hand (budget constraints). I thought perhaps I could feed both the camera HDMI out and my laptop HDMI out (which feeds the teleprompter) to an HDMI capable switch, and toggle back and forth between those two streams as I film (using either a hand or a foot toggle). That way, when I want the viewer to see what is on the prepared PowerPoint slide, I toggle one way–and when I want him to look at me, I toggle the other way. Then in post all I have to do is apply the intro, outdo, and lower third, render, and I am done. It would be a bit like playing in a one man band, but then my editor can focus on other projects (which is where I really need him).
My existing case will hold six HDD’s. I would need a different RAID card ($200 on EBay), but then I could set up six HDD’s in RAID 0. Then whatever the AJA card costs on EBay, and I could use my existing camera, and also have a beautiful picture. Or is there a better way?

Do you suppose a Core2Quad at 3.0Ghz and 8GB RAM is enough processor to capture that uncompressed stream, if one had three HDD’s in RAID 0? (Actually six HDD’s in RAID 0+1)?

Apparently it is more than just pins? It seems there is a logic board inside, and the quality of the components does make a difference. (Lesson learned, I hope.)

[John Rofrano] “Flash is dead (ask Adobe). Flash does not play on any Apple mobile device (iPad/iPod/iPhone). Mobile devices are quickly outpacing PC’s for internet access so you don’t want to ignore this market because they will be the predominant market of Internet users in just a few years. Don’t use Flash!”
Okay, that is good information. Thanks! We have a flash header on our website. What kind of file do I want to re-encode that for?
