Did you just purchase a new camcorder? If you have just purchased a new camcorder and are wondering how you can share your videos, you have come to the right place. When it comes to camcorder recordings, there are a wide variety of different ways that you can share your videos with family and friends. Let's take a look at some of the many ways that we can share our videos.
Your first option for sharing your memories with others is by playing them on your television. This can be done in several ways. If you own a camcorder that records DVD or Blu-ray disk, then you can watch your videos simply by finalizing your recordings and popping them into the DVD or Blu-ray player. If your camcorder does not record to DVD or Blu-ray, you have two options. The first is to transfer your videos onto your computer and then transfer your photos to DVD manually by using your computers DVD burner. If you do not have a DVD burner, or would like to watch your videos without creating a DVD, you can simply hook the camcorder up to your TV using the audio and video cords that came along with the camcorder in the box.
If you own an HDTV, you can often hook your video camera directly up to it. Many HDTVs come along with SD memory card slots or USB ports and allow you to connect your camcorder directly to it. When watching on HDTV, you will, however, have to make sure that your video camera records in a format that is compatible with the television so that it can be read properly.
Another way to share your footage is by way of your computer. With computers, there are many ways to share your videos. You can share them directly on your own computer, by posting them to a video sharing site, or by sending them through email. To watch videos on your computer, simply connect the camcorder to your computer with the given accessories. Watching and sharing videos via computer also holds other advantages as there are many computer programs that allow you to edit and manipulate your videos before sharing them.
If you own an iPod, many newer camcorders also offer you the option to hook your camcorder up to it and watch your videos that way. Be aware, however, that watching your videos via iPod can often require the purchase of extra software that will convert your videos to an iPod compatible format.
If you are looking to share your camcorder videos with others, there are many ways that you can do this. Watch your videos directly on your television, transfer them to your computer to share them on a video sharing site or through email, or watch them on your iPod.
