CHAPTER 3

Get Ready to Capture Audio and Video

The best opportunity for creating high-quality streaming media starts at the beginning of the creative process. Someone may simply hand you a tape or DVD and say, “Stream this!” But it’s better to get involved before the tape deck records the first sound or camera takes the first frame.
