Upgrading Video Recording Unit Project

Upgrading, data transfer, and back up project of video recording unit begins.  Video input adapter - Hi-Speed USB - External and Video Pad Editor options.  Transfer all recording, editing and rendering options to Power Point / Sunday Plus (praise lyrics software) machine.  It will be one machine to handle visual aid software.  We should keep the legacy machine as a foundation to learn how to stream content live

Step 1: Get current disc producer software:

 1.     What operating systems does the Epson Disc producer work with?
      The Epson Discproducer works with Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Server 2008/2008 R2/2003/2003 R2. To download the latest Total Disc Maker software visit http://www.EpsonExpert.com

 2.     Converting video to DVD / Audio using 123 Copy DVD Platinum
Taking a mpg file about 1 hour recorded takes 40 minutes to render into a DVD video
Taking a mpg video and extract the audio as a mp3 audio takes ? minutes to process

3.       Sermons Series or 1 sermon with music
Lets see if the past sermon series January or February can be placed on 1 DVD for each month. There have been request of the music too, but recently started to place music with the sermons. More music on the DVDs, less room for the sermons. So, must create different versions with either all the series per month on one DVDs or 1 Sermon per 1 DVD with music

I wear this hat, too: "Sound Engineer"

In general terms, a sound engineer is someone responsible for some aspect of the sound at live shows. Many people think of the sound engineer as the person who stands behind the big sound desk (aka mixing desk) at a show and mixes the sound the audience hears, also known as front of house (FOH) sound. There are other roles for sound engineers at shows.
