[RNLD] Current best Video practices in LDD

[Mark W. Post]

Hi Hiram,

This won't be of much immediate help to you, but a few of us set up a 
Wikipedia page with the goal of maintaining an updated set of best 
practices for LDD during the PARADISEC tools and methods meeting one or 
two years back, but despite an initial flurry of uploads and edits, very 
little has been done since. It would be great if listmembers would 
consider posting information like this on that page whenever you find 
it, since as you point out, things move too quickly now for most people 
(or even groups) to keep track of everything.

Cheers
Mark

>(and audio at CD-quality as a minimum), but I don’t seem to be able to

>not used anymore for various reasons and many recorders now only record 
>in MP4 format. There is also no discussion of resolution, and I'm

>possible (or 3M HD: 1296p? or 4K?), or is this not really necessary and 
>rather overkill?

>Could someone point me in the right direction? I seem to recall an RNLD
