[RNLD] Current best Video practices in LDD

[#HIRAM RANDALL RING#]

Hi All,

  I’ve been trying to find updated information about current best practices in LDD, when recording video particularly. I follow the ‘record the best quality audio and video you can given recorder and storage needs’ guideline, and I usually record with multiple devices (and audio at CD-quality as a minimum), but I don’t seem to be able to find any more specific guidelines since E-Meld’s recommendations: http://emeld.org/school/classroom/video/index.html

  These seem a bit outdated to me - one of their recommendations is to choose AVI over MP4 as a recording/storage format. But AVI is basically 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 wondering whether FHD (1080p) is preferred over regular HD (720p) when 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 thread along these lines, but I can’t find it through a search of past emails. Is there a Wiki somewhere that is updated? It seems that these recommendations would change every few years, given the rate at which digital video resolutions continue to increase.

Best,
Hiram
