Making videos in a Windows 8 ecosystem

TechRepublic Australia Wrapper

Editor's note
Welcome to the Wrapper for another week, and it was one where we went in deep on Windows 8. Opening the week was an example of how to produce and distribute online video from a Windows 8 ecosystem. While taking video with a tablet-sized device may not be your cup of tea, others are doing it, and the Surface's 22-degree camera tilt makes it more comfortable than holding an iPad up all day. Closing out our week of Windows 8 was Tony McSherry's final look at the core Windows RT applications. This week's piece ran an eye over the Photos, Video, Music, Maps, Camera, and SkyDrive apps. Have a good week, everyone! --Chris
