About.com desktopvideo (formerly The Mining Company)

An incredibly well organized sight loaded with great info. I recommend it highly. The format is pure web, and the links and articles are great. The new webmaster Brian Henderson has done a fantastic job re-organizing the site and adding a ton of new articles and reviews. I really like his Premiere tutorials. Brian is a frequent visitor to the Desk Top Video Handbook On Line and he will be publishing several of our articles on his website!

abcdv.com/

Jan De Wever's excellent site about the latest news in digital videography out of Europe. Jan is a frequent participant on the Canopus Forums and the DV-L list. This combined with his Belgium local (he also attends all the major European trade shows) gives him the ability to get some excellent scoops. The first looks at Premiere 6.0, Canopus DV Storm, Avid XpressDV and more.

As Jan puts it "This site will become a community, with all your experience and knowledge, available for everybody on the internet who is looking for info and help in the DV world. This site should be the ABC of DV, and is therefore called www.abcdv.com! Enjoy it!"

Targeted towards wedding & event videographers, but of great value to anyone working in the video business, Mike Martin's Fast Forward Club (formerly known as Videographers Forum) is a website for videographers, by videographers. This site offers hands-on articles about the mechanics of shooting and editing, and includes product reviews, downloadable video clips and much more. Mike's site is also the home of the largest online user forum specifically dedicated to what may be called the ultimate professional DV camcorder for event videographers, the JVC GY-DV500. If you have one or are thinking about buying one, you simply must pay a visit here first."
