Just start a record about 15 mins before the service, and let it roll till whenever and then later do a quick edit and you can either put your entire church service up there or just the preaching, that way you can go digital and be free of tapes or CDs.

BTW you have to download a MP3 codec before you can export into mp3. Audacity saves in a native file format

We do audio already with Audacity and export to mp3 when we are done. I haven't tried putting mp3s on the web page yet, but I'm guessing that I can upload them with ftp like I do with a pic. Is this true and how do I do it with a video? I think I'd want media player format. The thing is we haven't got a video camera yet.

Here is a simple code generator script some college nerds put out there, it actually makes the code for you in a variety of formats. Windows media is usually the easiest since 99% of windows computers have it ... and really... who cares about Mac folks anyhow

To help in putting MP3 file on the site we use a program called zina, all that is required is to upload the mp3 files into a folder and zina does the rest.

It is free --> http://www.pancake.org/zina
Zina in action on our sites --> http://goodpreaching.com/index.php?o...zina&Itemid=29

We use it as a joomla module, but there is a standalone version.
