I've used software that can automatically break a large audio file up into several smaller ones. Though I suspect that's not going to work well with speech, as it may think momentary pauses in speech are good break points, whereas a human might break at more sensible moments (change in topics, activities, etc.). I've used Audacity for live recordings of sound, hitting stop and then record between things. That's one way of doing what you want. But if you want to pay attention to what you're recording, and not get distracted by recording it, then recording it as one slab then editing afterwards is the better approach. Again, Audacity is quite good for that task. > At some point later I would like to get a camera and start doing video > recording of the service and place of DVD. I'd suggest getting a HDD+DVD recorder, record to hard drive, break the recording into chapters after filming, then burn off a DVD. It's then an easy job to replicate that DVD, either burning off another copy from the hard drive on the same unit, or copying the DVD on computer. I've got a Sony RDR-HXD590 HDD+DVD recorder which makes that sort of thing relatively painless. We've used it for recording concerts, and chaptering the different acts. And it seems to be one of the few that creates fairly error-free discs. I don't just mean discs that play well, I mean ones that aren't full of masses DVD technical errors that make duplication, or even playing, discs difficult on other decks. I find stand-alone recording equipment to be generally a lot less annoying that computerised video equipment. Professional video production is my career, and this is the easiest way to go, for low/no budget productions, in my experience. If you go the whole hog, you can easily spend hours and hours in post production, for no tangible improvement for the type of job you outline. > In both cases the church is also talking about putting streaming audio > or streaming video on their web site. Might be worth looking at some of the youtube tutorials. The same things will apply for preparing video for your own website as theirs. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
