Stop Motion Video, what Hardware and program to use?
« on: December 31, 2004, 12:19:41 AM »
I would like to do some DIY Stop Motion video and was considering using a Digi-Cam and a PC, but then thought that it might be more interesting to do this on the Amiga instead.

 What is the best affordable solution for this? I don't necessarily need more than 256 Colors.

I was considering using a DV Cam...

...one of those ones capable of capututing up to a minute of full motion video and what not. I wanted to capture the images at 800x600, and save them in 16-bit color.

 Of course since I don't have USB support on the Amiga, I'll need to plug the camera into a RCA jack and capture the images that way.

 Or I could use my old 80's camcorder, which is prefered?

I've heard that JPG looses a lot of quality.
