Thank you for the recording advice and comments about our website (my design -- my own website is
http://www.isa4031.freeserve.co.uk). I have downloaded the audacity and lame encoder files and will try this out. We have our 107th anniversary next week so I might try it then -- the guest speaker is a past Minister of the Church although the length of the sermon might be a problem.
Dan, How long are your Churches sermons? -- what file size is produced right after the recording? The notebook we have has a 20Gb HDD, I shouldn't think it would use all that up in one go although I have heard that sound files can be quite large.
Leigh, thank you for your advice on Mini-DV recording -- for now I think we will take one step at a time and stick to the audio recording (hoping I can get Dan's suggesetions to work for us).
Regards
Ewan
