converting Casablanca files for web use Can't Post

Hi there,
I have a friend who edits his videos on a casablanca machine
(which I don't know anything about) and wants to put some clips
on the web.
1. How does one convert the clips to say, AVI or MOV and then
export them?
2. Is this possible?
3. What are the proper steps?
sorry, I'm just learning.
thanks,
Larry

1. Export the video clip out of the Avio/Prestige/Kron on to tape on your camera. Firewire export is best.
2. Import that clip on your camera tape via firewire into a computer that has a capture card and a basic video editing software program (Windows Moviemaker will work as a last resort)
3. Once you have imorted the video in, it should be in the format you want. You can use a simple video editing software to format the video clip to a particular format (Quicktime, WMV, etc) and adjust the bit rate.

Piece of cake! Buy a capture card for his PC, set the capture to whichever format you'd like, and roll the video via the Casablanca output into the capture card. The resulting file will be the format you chose. (No, it's not possible on the Casablanca b itself)

Hi again,
So let me get this straight and please feel free to correct me.
1. Either get a video capture card for the computer where I want the files to be EXPORTED to OR get a DV camera with firewire connection.
2. Capture into the computer or the camera the casablanca files
3. If into the computer, I can use whatever editing software I have (ie. Premiere Pro or Final Cut (Mac)), correct?
4. If into the camera, then its pretty much another step where I download it to the computer as well to edit as I see fit, correct?
Thanks again. I'm a bit slow but learning =)

That is correct. Bob's solution is faster :) I use the camera because I archive the project to tape as well.
