Video Camera Recommendation

So the net net is ... either would be fine?
I had planned to use the one built into Windows, until I realized yesterday that if you minimize it, it stops the video, so it has me a little nervous I might do that by accident.

@JaredBusch mkv is a more flexible container than mp4
True, but Jared hates it, so it must be shit. You aren't supposed to defer to your own judgement on these decisions....

um what? I never said i hated anything. I personally am familiar with both formats.

Use MP4

I ended up using MK4 due to the "minimizing" problem.
If we are going to keep doing these videos I will have to get some more education.

So after the fact, I went to upload the MKV files to SharePoint, and realized this format is not supported.
I downloaded handbrake, and converted to MP4, but the file size is about 1/3.
The videos look and sound the same. Is this just container size? Or did I possibly do something wrong?

You probably compressed with different settings.

Are you uploading to Sharepoint, or to Office 365 Videos?

SharePoint.
Apparently does not support streaming MKV.

Very few "products" seem to support MKV. It is all over the open source world, but not the commercial world.

I just loaded the file in Handbrake and converted it, without changing any settings.
I'm really a video rookie, so if this was wrong, let me know!
Or if there is a better program.

All of the settings that you did not look at are telling you how it will compress it. But honestly, that is not a problem. Well, unless you chose something like the iPod preset

I ended up looking around on Google, and it seems the ffmpeg was the way to go.
I used
ffmpeg -i "C:\scratch\focus group files\Focus Group 1.mkv" -c copy "C:\scratch\focus group files\Focus Group 1.mp4"I have a lot of learning to do on containers.

I've used XSplit in the past with great success. If you found a solution though that's great.

It made it the same size, and in about 1/100th of the time.

It's more likely you won't have to transcode with mp4 as well which is great.
