Im hopefully going to be filming a band and wondered what was the best way to transfer it to making it acceptable to upload to a torrent site.I usually just transfer my video from my cam to pc via windows movie maker,and then just burn it with nero.This is the only way i know really as im not at the same level of knowledge like a lot of people on here( which is why im asking ).So any help will be greatly appreciated.
cheers :D

firewire is better then usb for transfering
the programs used are really up to you though, i am not aware of a bt site that limits you to specific programs
wmm however is "low end" of video programs, imo anyway
most people i know use adobe premier pro and/or atfer effects
other programs are ulead and sonic something or other
again the programs doesn't make much difference though, its the capture thats important from the camera
and the higher the bit rate the better when converting from raw dv/avi > m2v
check out threads in the photo video forum and the comp recording forum

Edit and render out the video for DVD burn. Create the DVD project and burn a test DVD. Once all of that is working, then torrent the whole directory that you used for the burn. That way, people who download the torrent can just use Nero (or equivalent) to burn it straight to DVD and play it on their DVD player. The other route is to go Divx or xVid, but my vote would be for a DVD image...

A great program for doing the transfers is WinDV, but you would of course have to encode the video to mpeg later on.
