Hi, Ellis!

First of all, thanks for becoming a member!

Your question is a good one, but the answer is overly-simple. You can shoot with whatever settings you want because it’s not the SHOOTING settings that matter so much. It’s the COMPRESSION settings you use later when you’re transcoding the video for posting to the web. For more clarity on this, I suggest you watch my show on Compression which is episode 66. That will likely help you…

Hello Izzy…
Although this is Izzy Video 38, it is one of the first for me, since I signed up recently… This is a great tutorial, and I am sure it will help me tremendously… but I have a more basic question: which camera settings should we use for the INTERNET? I had a High Definition Canon HV20 until I lost it, now I am going to buy another camera… But the Canon HV20 has many settings… should we use wide screen, should we use high definition or low definition? Which is better for the internet? Thanks, sorry for the amateur questions. Ellis2ca

I am going to create video podcast, but I cannot afford buying camcorder. Is there any way to do it with usual Internet camera, which is used for windows messanger? You told that you know many tutorials how to create podcast. Could you give me a few examples?
Anyway you have great blog!!

I just recently purchased a Canon GL-1, I am trying to do lighting on a budget, but it’s not working out, I have to spend minimum $500.00 for some lights.
Anyways I love the look of your podcast and I think that with some new skills (I use to do proffesional photograph)I could do something decent, but I was wondering what kind of camera do you use.
I would like to know what is the best this camera could produce. I know that it depends on the scene and the understanding of the person running the camera, but I wish that I could see some refrence videos that shows the entire set up (camera, lights, etc (brands and everything) and shows the results, then I would have something to shoot for.

Hey thanks, that was a very helpful podcast. I’m starting my own vodcast so this will be immensely helpful.

I’ve also been wondering if you could feature more about the gear you use, specifically your camera, your tripod, maybe other things like a stabilizer or monopod that might be useful for prosumer users. Also, I notice you used a couple of loops from Garageband – any tips on that as well? Music production is a huge part of what I do with my videos.

Thanks again, keep up the good work, and I’ll keep watching!
