Upcoming for NPS

Hello everyone! Lisa J here to let you know about what’s to come for NPS. I want to make this podcast the best I can, so here are of the things to look forward to:

1) More Youmacon coverage! I have a lot of video footage that can last for many, many podcasts. In addition, I interviewed Bruce Kalish (Exec. Producer of Power Rangers SPD), Christian band Eyeshine (with Johnny Yong Bosch as the lead singer), and Chris Violette (Sky, Blue Ranger of Power Rangers SPD). Also did a podcast with the RangerBoarders at Youmacon, so stay tuned!

2) NPS Frappred! I’d like to know whose listening to No Pink Spandex, so Frappr allows you to see whose listening and where they’re from! If you’re worried about people knowing where you live, don’t be. I put in my zip zode, and where Frappr points out my location is nowhere near where I live, lol! So I ask for your cooperation, as it is hard to really keep track of how many people listen to this podcast.

3) Your calls! Ok, maybe not “calls” as of yet, but if you have a microphone and install Gizmo (don’t worry, it’s free), then you can leave a voicemail message for No Pink Spandex and ask me anything! Yes, anything! Doesn’t have to be Power Ranger related, although that would be funnier, lol! So, I’d like to see how this would work out. If you feel anxious, you can leave a voicemail today (Gizmo name: nopinkspandex)! I’ll make an offcial announcement in the next podcast or the one after the Youmacon podcast.

4) The No Pink Spandex Website! This LJ isn’t going anywhere, but it is hard to play with the layout, so I’ll be making a new site for NPS along with the many ways that anyone can subscribe to the podcast. Be on the look for that, and tell all your friends :)

Episode 5 Show Notes

1) First, you’ll need to know the specs of your computer. The slower the computer, the slower the capturing and rendering. Not only will this slow down the process, but this can lead to all sorts of video and audio problems. Make sure that your computer can handle the raw data coming in. An ideal system is one with at least 512MB of RAM, a large hard drive (a half an hour of television takes up about 5 GBs), and a processor that’s at least 1 gHz. Of course, there’s leeway with these specs, but one thing is for sure: if you don’t have the space, you don’t have the video.

2) Next, your computer has to have a Firewire port. If it doesn’t, you can buy either a Firewire card for your computer or buy a Firewire hub. Search on the internet for prices and compatibility. Mac users do not have to worry about this, because Apple invented the technology, so Firewire is on all Mac computers. Do not use USB if you can aviod it! Firewire is the better of the two for capturing video, and most editing programs only work with Firewire.

3) Then, you have to have a converter that converts the analog signal from your television to digital for your computer. If you have a camcorder, some have a “Pass Through” technology where the camcorder converts the analog to digital for you. Check your manuals! If you do not have a camcorder, then you’ll need a video capturing hub. They range from $50-200 bucks, and they can do the job easily.

4) Next, you’ll need some cables! Depending upon what you buy to convert the video to digital, you’ll need different cables. This time, you’ll have to do your research and read those manuals!

To find out where to buy the above: TigerDirect.com, ZipZoomFly.com, and Pricewatch.com (good source for finding good prices).

5) Finally, you’ll need a program that will capture the video onto your computer and edit out the commercials. Mac users have it easy because iMovie is already there on the comp for this job. PC users can try out VirtualDub. It’s an open-source program, so it’s totally free!
