Please can someone advise me. I have a DMR-E95 DVD recorder with hard disk. The hard disk is nearly full of archived home movies. The disk is also starting to have problems with sound. I need to back up the contents to a multi-media server on my home network. How can I do this please? Backing up to hundreds of DVD-RAM disks is not an option - too expensive and time consuming. Thank you. Chris B.

Anybody know if there's a cheap DVD recorder capable of recording at least eight hours? It's for a video capture application where quality isn't an issue, so a cheap analogue-only dvd recorder from a supermarket would be fine. -- Dave Farrance

Hi folks. I recently transferred a bunch of Super 8 sound home movies to video, using wall projection and firewire from a Sony video camera. The final results (after many trials and experiments) seem excellent to my eye. I'm keen to copy the films onto DVDs and spread them around various family households for viewing and safe keeping. However, whenever I try to save the uncompressed AVI...

I'm using iMovie and iDVD to edit and present video and that seems by and large to suffice for my humble needs, but with one exception. I'd like to be able to export the audio to e.g. SoundStudio and make some changes to levels here and there and attempt to silence some extraneous noises (the tools for fiddling with the audio in iMovie seem a bit primitive). If I don't alter the overall...

Is there any software that can perform simple edits on an mpeg file, such as top- and tailing it and removing commercial breaks, without having to re-encode the whole file. I'm sure it must be possible: 95% of the file is unchanged so you do a byte-for-byte copy, with only a few frames around the edit point needing to be re-encoded. Pinnacle Studio 10 is great for editing, but then takes...

TDK DVD+RW discs. Some time ago I bought a pack of about 50, but I've forgotten where I got them!(:-( Alan

I have an old Sony Digital-8 camcorder, and I'm planning to get a mini-DV model to replace it. I want to be able to copy my old tapes onto mini-DV. Having done a bit of research I know I should be able to do this camera-to-camera if the new camcorder has DV-in and I buy a 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable, but there is one thing I'm not sure about: how to make the mini-DV camcorder start...

I've tried to copy a film onto a DVD+R but as soon as the transfer is finished, the recorder 'finalises' the DVD so I cannot copy any more onto the same DVD. Is there some way I can get round this problem?

I have an Alba RDVD1000 DVD recorder, which, when I record from the TV onto a DVD+R/W will not then allow me to copy from this DVD+R/W onto a different machine. It keeps showing on screen a security warning. I can copy to tape, but even trying to copy from tape onto another DVd brings the same warning message up Why and what can I do ?

Is it illegal to pass odd my own sperm as Stephen Hawking's and sell it on E:bay? I would imagine there would be a lot of interest from single women wanting to give birth to Hawking's off spring. They would never know the difference until the child was born and then it would be obvious as the baby would be far more handsome than Hawking. It would also be better at running. Baz

You would think that if Hawking was so bloody clever he would invent himself a robot body and transplant his consciousness into the new android form instead of just gliding about in that electric chariot. Lazy *******. Who's going to remember him when he's gone? Not me! Baz

Hi, Recently I was given an ALBA DVD Recorder. It had a DVD stuck inside the drawer. I tested it and sure enough the drawer would not open. Upon removing the cover, I soon saw that the DVD mechanism had exactly the same electrical connections as that in a PC. I removed the mechanism, connected it to my PC and used the My_Computer options to open the drive. I then removed the DVD and...

If you have made a home movie that you've put on DVD and want to shrink wrap it so it looks extra special like it has just been bought in the shops, does anyone know of any places that sell shrink wrap that you can diy yourself at home? E.g. about 10 years ago I used to make my own wine, and you could get plastic tops that go over the top of the bottle and the cork, then what you would do is...

I am using the Sandisk Vmate to record TV onto an SD card. It records in MP4 (iso). Can anyone recommend a freeware program to edit the finished MP4. I want to cut out the adverts etc. Mick

My neighbour Bob last year released his fourth album entitled 'Norfolk Heroes' which is available in Jarrolds and many other stores on the North Norfolk coast. The first track is called 'Down The A149' which describes the various places on that road between Kings Lyn and Cromer. We want to make a video to accompany this song showing clips of the various places mentioned in the song and are...

Where can you buy these in the High Street for a reasonable price (i.e. less than £15.99)? Thanks. -- Martin '03 R1150RS (#2) '04 Falco
