Review answers

1 Windows Media is the best format for Windows because it combines small fi le size

for easy transportability with high quality.  ough virtually all computers can play

MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 fi les, the fi les are usually too large for easy transport. QuickTime

fi les may pose a problem because not all Windows computers support QuickTime, and

Adobe Flash Video fi les with an FLV extension require a standalone player such as the

Adobe Media Player, which not all computers have installed.

2 Devices have very specifi c playback requirements and if you change a fi le parameter

and deviate from these requirements, the fi le may not load or play on the target device.

3 You should add a Universal Counting Leader or simply a black video fi le to the start of

a project before writing it to tape to prevent the recording device from cutting off the

initial frames of the video fi le.

4 Connect a VHS recorder to your DV camcorder via composite or S-Video connectors

plus audio while writing your project to DV tape. Most DV camcorders will display

the recorded signal out the analog ports while recording, which you can record on the

VHS deck by clicking the record button on the deck.

5 Switch to Share view, and then click the Online button. Choose YouTube or My

Website, and then follow the instructions in Share view to render and upload your

movie.
