I get all sorts of queries at the office here... this one I need some opinions on.
A guy from a building firm called out to see me. Part of their work is (hold your nose) to send cc cameras on a robotic track down into sewers. They need to record what they see, then burn it to DVD to send back to clients as evidence of work done etc.
They had been using a standard domestic tv monitor and VHS video recorder and that worked fine, but since they've tried to use a domestic DVD burner they don't seem to be able to work the system to come up with a properly burned DVD - they're just getting blanks.
These guys have money to burn and want a simple hi tech solution - a way of monitoring the cc footage and then burning it to DVD. Without seeing their camera or knowing how it could be connected, and also without any experience of DV rack, I suggested using a laptop with DVrack as one way to go... but with the caveat that I would need to research it first.
So my questions to DVrack users are...
1. If the cc camera can be connected to the laptop... would this be a good system?
2. Would a builder, with basic PC knowledge, and no real interest in videography be able to work with DVrack.. would it be an easy process to capture and burn.
3. Will DVrack burn dvd's, or is there a simple builder-proof way of burning from dvrack?
Bless you guys for your patience!
