Doing some video at a club. No budget, trying to keep it very simple. I
would like to use the sound from the mixer in the back of the room
instead of the internal mic with all the crowd noise. Is there a
inexpensive solution? Tried searching but I'm not getting the right
info. mostly wirelss mics. So, I need, line out from mixer to input of
transmitter, wireless to receiver to line in on Canon minidv. Thanks
for the info.

The inexpensive solution is to use a cable from the mixer to the
camera. Wireless is neither low budget nor simple, and inexpensively
tempting wireless systems are bound to give you problems.

As long as you're not wandering around with the camera, you can run a
cable and tape it down so it won't be a triping hazard. Check with
your local PA rental company and rent or borrow enough cable and
appropriate adapters on each end.

If it's a digital camera and you have a digital recorder (even a
portable computer with a sound card) there's probably good enough
speed stability so that you can put sound and picture together with a
video production program after the fact. If you need very accurate
sync (like you have a close-up of a drum stick hitting the head) you
can move the audio around a bit so that you get them to coincide.

It's called "post-production" and everyone does it, even people on a
tight budget.
