Introduction to USB
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It is a standard for connecting
external devices to your computer quickly and easily. One of the nice things
about USB is that power can be provided to the USB device through the
USB cable. Some devices such as printer need more power than the USB
ports can provide, so those devices will have to use an external power sourc e.
USB also allows the device to be connected and removed from the PC
without the need to shut down the computer.
Currently many USB products are widely available on the market and
more are being developed for future release. Because of the high speed of
the USB interface, a USB hub can be used to connect more than one USB
device to one USB port at one time. The USB standard specifies that up to
127 devices can be connected to your computer.
USB is fast enough for webcams and other video devices to transfer
large amounts of data. The USB specification allows for two different
speeds. A lower speed of 1.5Mbps is used in low power and low speed
devices. The faster speed of 12Mbps is used for most devices, especially
audio and video USB devices.
The most used standard for USB is version 1.1. A new version called
USB version 2.0 will be much faster at 400Mbps and will replace version
1.1 as the standard for the market.

Introduction to Video Capture
V ideo capture has risen in popularity with the advent of faster and more
robust home computer systems. Normally , those wanting to do video capture
and mastering were required to purchase very expensive computer systems
with expensive video and audio hardware. Because of the quick
developments of faster CPU’s and bigger hard drives, video capturing and
editing can be accomplished on today’s inexpensive computers.
V ideo capturing is accomplished by taking a video source of some kind,
usually a TV, VCR or camcorder, connecting the video source to your
computer by way of a video capture device. Video is made up of frames, or
single images. The video is made up of all of these images that are shown,
one after the other, fast enough that your eyes are tricked into thinking that
you are seeing a streaming video. The basic function of the video capture
device is to take each frame of the video and save it into a video file. Another
function of the video capture device is to record the audio portion of the
video and attach it to the video. The file that is saved can then be edited with
video software to combine, remove parts, or add special effects and audio to
produce a final video file.
In most circumstances, the final video file can then be transferred back
to your TV, VCR and camcorder. It can also be compressed into a small file
and e-mailed to friends and family. With recent developments in streaming
video, video can be streamed in real-time over the Internet. Although this
technology is exciting, the cost of implementing such a scenario is often
expensive and quite complicated to install and support.

Introduction to Video Editing
As with video capture, the hardware that was previously needed to edit
video was very expensive. Today’s PC market has lowered the cost of very
powerful computers that are very capable of editing and producing home
videos. Or course, the faster and more robust your computer is, the faster and
easier it is to edit video.
The first thing to understand when delving into video editing is that
video takes up a lot of hard drive space. If you have a small hard drive, be
prepared to delete every project after you finish it in order to free up space
for your next project. Most new computers should have enough space to edit
and save many projects without any problem. Also, the bigger your project,
the more space is needed.
The video editing application is the key to editing video. Many
applications on the market are very simple and easy to use. Others are geared
toward the more advanced users and provide many advanced features. One
thing to remember when purchasing video editing software is that the
cheaper the price, the less features it will include and the easier it should be
to use. The more expensive software will include more features and will be
much harder to learn and operate. Choose the software that will give you the
features you need but won’t sacrifice ease of use.
Video editing software enables you to cut and paste pieces or whole
parts of a video file into a timeline. The timeline shows the logical flow of
your video. Most video editing software allows you to add text and
transitions to your video. When finished, you can save the video to a file or
output the video to an external video device like a TV, VCR or camcorder.
