Sharing Destinations

Email

The Video Sharing Wizard compresses video clips and attaches them to an email using your default email software. A second metadata file containing category/value information for each file is included (see Importing/exporting categories for more information on how metadata files are used).


Dartfish is only able to send the results of sharing to email software like Outlook and Outlook Express. If you use another type of email such as AOL or web based email like Hotmail, YahooMail etc then you should convert the videos you want to send (see Converting video clips) and attach them through the software or website itself.


Recordable CD/DVD

This choice of destination "burns" video files to recordable CD-R, CD-RW or data DVD disks including metadata. Burning to DVD does not create DVDs that will play on a DVD player but a data DVD holds a lot more data than a CD:

CD - 700Mb approx

DVD - 4.7Gb

Double layer DVD - 8.5Gb

Enhanced CD/DVD

A second method of burning Video clips to CD or DVD is to produce an Enhanced CD/DVD. This has the following advantages:

The resulting CD autoruns - the user simply has to insert it into their computer's CD drive.

Customizable interface which can be personalized with your own contact details (see image below).

Comments can be included to describe explain the content of video clips.

Internet

This sharing option is used to send (ftp) Dartfish video files to an internet destination. To do so, you will need to create an FTP Profile using the connection information for your FTP server. This information can be provided by your network administrator or the Internet service provider which hosts your website.

The Internet sharing option does not create web pages, it simply sends video files to an internet location from where they can be downloaded. The Analyzer module can be used to produce Media Book web pages containing video, text and audio.
