 +But when plugged in the camera it generates a lot of noise in the background. 
 +I could not figure the cause, but it prevents me to get better audio recording. 
 +And the camera built-in microphones aren't too bad.

 +To help me making videos, I have a bunch of scripts which do all sorts of side tasks:
 +  * compress the raw recordings
 +  * clean the audio
 +  * render the video
 +  * extract the chapter marks
 +  * export the transcript
 +  * package the final video
 +  * create a torrent
 +  * upload to my server
 +  * upload to youtube
 +But I correct and extend them for each new episode.

 +I just have to make the recordings, put them together, transcribe the the audio, run the scripts, and finally click on the publish button.
