Stick,

All the vids are super and much better entertainment that a movie..............thanks for posting all of them.

If I read right, you're doing it via dial-up......don't think I got the patience for that speed, but makes it more remarkable.

Suggest Blake create a sticky (pun there) and put them all in one place so they are easy to find later.

I've got some good drunken Logging Camp footage,but it's prolly too fucking hot for YouTube.

My personal best,is kicking the fuck out of 3 assholes in one night...at one time.

Then there was a "bad ass" 280lb "Bering Sea Crab Fisherman" who came and cut for me and tried to tell/show me how it was. He was a brother of a good guy I liked on the Crew,so I didn't hurt him too bad.

Got pretty good video of the aftermath of that one,but it's pretty hot too..............(grin)

You kind of come off as a dipshit. And your videos suck. You should invest in a uni-pod or some kind of pod, when you are killing shit you need to have a steady camera. I have been reading most of the night but this post seemed to erk me for some reason. You like to talk about what a bad ass you are and that's usually not indicative of a bad ass. But more power to ya.

I especially loved the grizzly in the persons yard that killed a moose. You live in a room next to the guy that filmed it.......that needs some extra explanation.

I've got two ideas, and booze would probably go well with either......grin.

One idea is to loan you my digital 8mm camera. I'm thinking you could just take your old 8mm tapes and play them through the digital camera. You'd just connect the digital 8mm camera to the computer just like you do with your Cannon ZR....using a firewire cable.

The other option is to route your old 8mm camera (or 8mm deck) through my Cannon ZR, and use it as a D/A converter. I'll try and get some cables rounded up for you, before your arrival.

Give me a heads up when you're headed this way.

What really kills me,is my "storage" system. There's no rhyme or reason and there's no way to fast track 100's of tapes,trying to find a particular moment or two. That's alotta hours of evaluation.

While making a tape this last time home,I did run across a day I'd forgotten in which I'd landed 19 Steelhead and also the clip of Brother Bill and I,when the Eagle swooped in down stream from us and walked off with a Steelhead. Couldn't find the footage from the Winter day in which Humper and I got into the Chrome Hog patch,that was insane.

You're in so fucking deep, I figure you'll never find all your shit.

I've got but a sampling of vids that are just kid related and it's scary how quick a guy can loose track.

The best advice I could give is never use one tape for more than one event and get a necklace that'll hold a sharpie at all times.

As for your existing collection, nothing short of having to kick back with a good drink and muse, while labeling will do.
At that point, archiving the good parts should prove to be a lot easier, but still a time-consuming sob.

Suprising how much tape a guy burns,once he's acclimated to using a camera and keeping one handy.

I wish to fuck Roundeye coulda filmed the Bull MuskOx that fucking near got me,in the footrace to the downcomer. That one was nip and tuck. Shoulda filmed the sledgehammer hole in my head too,as that was Instant Classic.

Really miss not having more Cutting footage,but it is fucking near impossible to collect for oneself,especially on a Bushel Show. One day it'll be pretty slick to cart grandkids around to various Stump Ranches I made and look to see how shit has come back and then extrapolate footage to same.

There are several places that will convert your old tapes to DVD, but none of them are cheap.

For some reason, video has almost no appeal to me. I like watching other people's stuff, but don't care to film anything I'm doing or watch the videos after the fact. I should buy a cheap digital camcorder and see if I can get into it.

I always had an appreciation for my Youth and for the places I was gonna go and the people I was gonna meet...mainly because time flies and I never didn't know that.

Had some tapes here at work and it's weird to watch and point saying "that fucker's dead","that fucker's dead","that fucker's dead","he's in a wheelchair","he is missing a leg",yada,yada. It's a novel glimpse into a vastly different lifestyle,that most have never even heard of,let alone seen and it's never not appreciated.

Fun to toss a few back,have everyone bring some clips from back in the day and get soused while laughing so fucking hard that your guts hurt.

Shit that goes on in a rough Camp daily,is so far off the fucking scale,that here's always a herd of ignorant dumbfucks who'd never seen a goddamned thing in their fucking life,wanting to call bullshit as a means of satiating the depths of their despair.

!f all a guy wanted to do was to convert mini DV tapes to DVD, a $250 DVD recorder, the proper cable, and your video camera will do the trick.

Eventually, the problem will come when you want to edit the footage, via computer. You'll need additional software to pull the video off the DVD, and the picture quality will suffer.

I keep all my tapes, and never tape over them. I may never watch some of them again, but for a couple bucks, tape is cheap. When I want to use them, they're there....for a few years anyway. Eventually the tapes will deteriorate, so they really should be "moved" to a long-term media.

Apple's newer version of iMovie ('08 and '09) will allow you to "catalog" your video footage, and store it digitally. You'll spend some time importing your footage (made a little easier by the auto-import feature), but then it'll be there....in perfect form....each and every time you want to use it. If I were to spend $1400 to work with video footage, a new Mac and an big-ass external hard drive would be at the top of my list.

Oh, and when Chris pipes up again about "speak and spell" Macs, just tell him to eat me! :grin:

8mm only gets sporty when you involve a computer. Transfering your 8mm footage to DVD is pretty straightforward with a DVD recorder. Plug your 8mm camera into one of the RCA inputs on your DVD-R deck - just like you would plug the camera into the TV to watch a tape. Use the RCA cables that came with your camera(s).

If I can offer a VERY helpful hint, follow the directions that came with your DVD-R deck. I've used 3 different decks, and each one is fucking different, with its own set of quirks and procedures. A few minutes cruising through the manual will help prevent an "accidental" shooting.......grin.

While you're running through your tapes and transferring them to DVD, label them, and set aside the ones you want to "computerize" for easy finding. We can hammer out how to get them into the computer later. In the meantime, it seems like backing up your footage and cataloging it is more pressing.

I'll have to fuck around with the DVD-R deck and see WTF.

It will take a full retirement,to allow the time to categorize/label everything. If I can burn 8mm to disc,that will be slick.

It would be nice to have a filing system that worked................

anybody fucked with the cameras that record straight to dvd?
No, I haven't. I'll probably skip them altogether and go with a model that records to SD memory cards. They're cheap, hold lots of stuff, and there are a lot fewer moving parts.

Here's a camera that sounds more than just a little bit interesting for capturing outdoor pursuits.....
Panasonic SDR-SW20

Good luck with that........grin.

In the electronics world, change is the only constant.

Here's a challenge......try to find a "Smart Media" card for a 6-year-old Olympus digital camera.

Imagine the untold market failures there will be in the next 20 years.

I doubt it. While I don't have a crystal ball, I would predict some sort of solid state chip will eventually take over the market for all digital media storage. Memory cards don't scratch, will hold more data, and they are getting cheaper and cheaper to make.

There are some archive quality CD's and DVD's available that you can burn at home. They are supposed to last 100 years or more, but in 100 years will we be able to find a CD/DVD player to read them? In that 100 year time, can a person keep them from getting scratched?

The good news is that as new technologies emerge, we have a window of time where the two technologies overlap. We can use this window to transfer our data to the new storage medium. We are currently in such a technology window that allows easy transfer of video tapes to DVD. Things will get dicey, when the window closes. Finding a machine to play VCR tapes will only get more difficult from here on out.

Actual storage methods will probably change as well. Right now, a ".jpg" file is pretty standard. Will this standard hold up for the next 20 or 30 years?

My guess is that if a guy stays on top of the current trend, converts when necessary, and keeps multiple copies, their data will fare just fine. Gone are the days, though, where you put your photos in a drawer for 50 years and call it good.

That better suits your size and incompetence....

Please feel free to continue to burn the bandwidth of how you have such pictures and footage to prove me wrong, yet for some reason continue to grasp feverishly at what is not there, nor attainable......

I'm more than a touch "comfy" in my still imaging offerings,in conjunction with moving pictures denoting same.

On the brightside,your most vivid of imaginations,are well shy of plausible....................
