Jimjumper Valued Member United States 331 Posts	Posted 12/05/2012 4:32 pm Is there a way to do photo and video presentations without spending a grand on a video projector? Most of the presentations I've done I have used poster sized blow-ups but they don't look very professional. Has anyone tried any of the pocket projectors I've seen advertised? The presentations I do are generally at the local club level with around 20-25 attendees. Any suggestions at all are welcome. Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 12/05/2012 6:47 pm Have a look at the videos on http://blog.bordersfhs.org.uk/2010/...cession.html or http://blog.bordersfhs.org.uk/2010/...-friday.html . They were taken on a Vivitar DVR 850W and loaded on to Youtube. This camera allows a video of up to 1 hour. Borders Family History Society have regular talks during the winter months and one of their members used a professional camcorder to video the talks, however, he then discovered it was beyond his capabilities and his software to convert it for website use. Youtube say they allow up to 20Gb uploads, but he found that his video (just over 1 Gb for a 40 min talk) couldn't be loaded, because the upload would crash about half-way through. I suggest you buy or borrow a cheap hand-held and try it out. Feel free to PM me if you need more help. Edited by Pertinax 12/05/2012 6:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Jimjumper Valued Member United States 331 Posts	Posted 12/05/2012 7:08 pm Oops, I wasn't specific enough about what I was asking. Shooting a video or photo's is easy but how do you show them to a room full of people as a presentation? Report this Post to the Staff
Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 12/05/2012 7:18 pm We have approx 20 people in our coin club and we show DVD presentations every month using a DVD player & TV. Not sure if you have the capabilities, but... Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 12/05/2012 7:22 pm Locally we run our videos as AVI video or using Shockwave on a laptop PC connected to a projector. However for short clips we also use the internet to view clips on YouTube (that is when we're in a hall with internet access). Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 12/06/2012 11:26 am If something the size of a TV is sufficient, it's a trivial task for pretty much any laptop to output video to one. Otherwise, you're forced into projector territory. Report this Post to the Staff
