Yes I have, and no I dont think its a good deal.\nI acquired some lesson cd's a few years ago during one of their promotions and found; that although easy to use and accurate as far as I could tell the lessons did not cover much ground and of course you were encouraged to purchase more and more in order to complete the entire program.\n\nOn a side note - over the years, watching the TV promos and the guarantees offered I have come to the conclusion that this guys is a mailing list aggragator. The Video Professor business may be only a means to an end- - - collecting valid names and addresses of people who buy off TV ads. This information can be sold to other companies for more than $10.00 per name. You can see that selling a name many times over to various companies for ten or more dollars per name would be a lucrative business. This is what I'm thinking, I have no proof but it seems to me to reasonable.

Should work, yeah. Make sure you play the video full-screen, obviously. The quality might (probably will) suck.

I don't know if it's "the best" but it's definitely easy to use and offers more than just the basics. It's Windows Movie Maker which comes with Windows XP. Allows you to import clips, including importing footage from a camcorder etc. There's a wide variety of output options in terms of quality, and actually editing and mixing your video is easy. Dozens of transitions, fades, brightness filters, effects, volume adjustments etc. and you can add in music of your own as well. I use it all the time to edit my digital camera movie clips as well as ones I take with my Sony Handycam.\n\nP.S. - The latest update (2.1) offers DVD burning capabilities - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx

It's an excellent idea, but I have never seen one. You might try one of the generic guides or maybe there is one for a college student.

Yes I have taken on line courses. It was set up where they recorded the classes and then you could view them online. There were a lot of good things about being online. Like I didn't have to make the 2 hour round trip drive to the school. I could watch lecture in my pj's. I could view lecture any time of day or night and as many times as I wanted. This is set up differently than most online courses though. Most courses require online discussion of material instead of a lecture. You do a lot of messaging to classmates and such. So you have to be self disciplined to make yourself do the studying. I would take more online courses. I really liked it. Hope this helps you.

my friend took this class  while she was in college. The basics are just as you describe, take pictures and play them in order. It gets a little more complicated though. The camera she used was called a lunchbox which is used alot for stopmotion animation. It takes 64 pictures to create one second of film. Along with all the moves we had to make, a 15 second film took us about 3.5 hours.

There are much better movie editing software programs out there.  I recommend Ulead® VideoStudio 10 Plus.  (and if you don't care about doing dolby digital sound then the normal one is fine)\n\nIt won the PC Magazine's Editor's choice.  I personally use it, and I have done some professional looking videos. \n\n99 bucks for the Plus version, 59 bucks for the normal version.  Well worth the cost, very easy to use.\n\nand if you want the professional, its only 199.  \n\nAll come with a free trial as well!  Try before you buy.

Imovie blows Movie maker away. I still don't think it does what you need it to do. It is not very powerful compared to avid. try the free avid link here:\n\n\nTony

Unless the professor has special equipment offered then you probably aren't going to get very good sound quality. However, if you sit in the right place you should be able to get a legible quality through the idea you suggested. Just move your seats around some until you find a good spot. Also, make sure you ask your professor about recording their class, some of them could have very helpful things that they themselves use.

Our professor recommended CamStudio for our thesis presentation back in college.\n\nhttp://www.camstudio.org/\n\nIt's freeware, and it's user-friendly.

This may not be helpful as i use strictly Macintosh computers.\n\nI find DVD2One, Toast Titanium, and the swiss army knife of video tools: ffmpegX to be invaluable.

I've had very good luck with Video Explosion Deluxe from Nova Development.  It lets you bring in all types of audio and video, and it's pretty easy to figure out and use.\n\nI've made a few near-professional home movies of my kids - complete with transitions between scenes, and even scrolling credits at the end.
