Nope, Nope, Nope folks, can't fire up the smart phone, don't own one. I have a phone for making phone calls, it's a Samsung Gusto 3 flip phone. And Yes, Paul, it is 2018 down south of you also. And also, hate the looks of a smart phone video.
Sorry Alan, don't think this one will make me rich. It's a Sony Digital camcorder. No tape, hard drive.
From what I have been reading. Will need to copy it over to computer, then run movie maker to convert and then upload to Utube. Will have to wait and see what format it records in. This is actually my wife's, have never run it. Now downloading/converting movies, programs, and burning to CD/DVD, that I know. It used to be a Large PITA to lan games, when you only had 1 copy of a program and all computers on the lan needed a copy in the CD Drive. But again haven't done that either in a long time, and can't even remember names of the software used to copy them correctly.
We will have to see, plan on running some tests here at home to make sure I am doable.
Also from reading with a free Utube, it may have to be in parts. Thought I remember reading can only be in 15 minute chunks.
