Flip video

[Nan Ratner]

We have been using FLIP and another similar project to BACK UP, not
serve as primary data collection, for an ongoing project observing
parent-child play. We figured that devices like that produce a pretty
easy record for initial transcription pass. The thing to keep in mind is
that perversely, the HD formats, which are the most common kind, produce
files that are TOO BIG to cut to CD easily for CHAT transcription. As
FLIP went increasingly HD, we found a product by RCA (Small Wonder) that
we could get that produces acceptably sized files with acceptable video
quality. It is not the most durable device for constant lab use,
though.

Dear Susan,
Thanks to Brian and his team, you have some useful information on  
talkbank:
http://www.talkbank.org/dv/ 
We are still a bit prehistoric here, we bought very good mini dv  
equipment and haven't changed it yet but talkbank is up to date...
best,
