What do I need to record my video?
There are various ways to record your video:
1. Webcam
Buy or use an existing webcam connected to your computer and use the accompanying software to record your video.
You must have:
PC based web camera with microphone
Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP, Macintosh or Linux

2. Digital Picture Camera
Many digitals cameras can take up to a 30 second video clip. Use this to record your video and then download it onto your computer using the software and connections that came with your camera. Save it to your files and then upload it onto your profile.

Most digital cameras will connect to your PC so you should be able to extract the 30 to 60 footage for your Shaadi.com video from the tape onto your computer. Save and upload it onto your profile.
