A little assistance needed for little magnet

My oldest daughter is auditioning for a show on The Discovery channel called Adventure Camp. We sent a video in of her, filled out a questionare, yada, yada, yada. Well, the show called and said we sent the video in the wrong format(Hi8mm). They wanted us to reshoot the video in DVD or miniDV format. Well, therein lies the problem. We don't own a video camera, muchless one that shoots in either of those formats( they also will accept VHS). On top of that, she has been out of town for 2 weeks so we couldn't have re-shot it anyway. The show really wants her to shoot another one, and they are extending the deadline for her. SHe won't get back home until the night before we leave for Grayton( Friday). Do any of you sowalers have a camera little magnet can borrow for a short hour or so this coming weekend? I would be forever in your debt if you do. I have also sent a PM to jdarg telling her all this so if one of you can help us out, contact her and she can get ahold of us. Thanks in advance,
Chick Magnet
P.S If you have any cool ideas for the video, we are all ears. The show is a wildlife-type show that will be shot in SeaWorld next summer. It has to be about 5 minutes long, and show little magnet "in action". She is 12. Thanks again.

Congrats! Maybe you can shoot the video at Gulf World Marine Park as a backdrop even better call ahead and see if they will allow her to interact with the show animals like the sea lion, parrots, dolphins?

Chickmagnet's daughter is on of Will's best friends, and a really great kid. If we had this kind of camera, we would do it. So who wants in on some movie making fun next week??

I don't have a camera for you, but I hope you get one. Good luck to the little magnet.

Also I wanted to tell you that as I was leaving Seagrove on Saturday I got behind a car with a bumper sticker that said "Chick Magnet". Of course I thought of you immediately!!!! I hope you have as much funn as I did!!!!!

I have a camera you can use. I sent you a PM with my contact info.

Thank you thank you everyone!!

Okay- Plan A is not working out. The Magnets used our dig cam and made a video, but after fiddling with it for a few hours, Bdarg has realized that we don't have the software to burn it and he can't spend any more time on it this week because he is crazy busy at work.

Any ideas?

Have you gotten it from the camera to the computer?

It is still on the camera, and Blaine has it on his laptop.

Assuming you have the laptop in your posession, or he can take some time, go to www.download.com or other software site and download a DVD burning program. You do have a DVD burner in the laptop I hope? Usually if you have a DVD burner they come with some type of burning software included.

Nero Burning is a popular one but there are plenty that are cheaper and may be some that are free.

Make sure that the file format you put on the disc is one that is approved for your contest - probably an mpeg version.
