Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to tell me whether i could fix this problem i have with my camcorder or whether i need to bin it! I have a VP-D101 and in normal mode the LCD image is all blurry but if i switch it onto night mode it becomes clear. It makes it very difficult to see what your viewing! So far i have tried what Samsung said: Thank you for contacting Samsung and I am sorry that...

I'm looking to get into video production again after a long break. I'm aiming to make short videos, mainly for use on the web. Obviously I'd like as good a quality machine as I can afford, but I can only afford about £2000. SD recording would be preferred, as would professional quality audio connections and good low light capability. Two cameras seem promising Panasonic AG-HMC82 Panasonic...

Does anyone have any documentation to configure a wifi dongle to allow streaming of files from a PC to the Screenplay? I've searched the web and there is nothing out there. Many thanks.

Has anyone experience of this camcorder playing slow-motion clips as detailed in the manual? When I try, the clips playback at normal speed. Any advice would be appreciated. JVC have not been helpful.

I'm looking for a device for my TV that does both freeview hd and will also play/stream video from a network hard drive. Couldn't find anything on google. Is there such a device that will work in the UK?

Hello. I have just bought my first ever Blu-Ray player a Sony BDP-S370 and it arrived today. A question. The official Sony Wi-Fi dongle for this player is quite expensive here in the UK at around £60 GBP ($94 USD). Can anyone confirm to me will any type of Wireless USB dongle still work with this player or do I need to get a specific type?

Camera (Canon MV 550i) manual says "Don't have a tape in the camera when transferring VHS through camcorder to computer" (iMovie 6), and footage from VHS player clear as crystal on camcorder screen, but keep getting "Camera no tape" message in iMovie window. Computer recognises camcorder as it shows in iMovie's source dropdown list and also in System Profiler. Even more baffling, Apple's...

Using Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger), and currently iMovie '06, and Canon MV550i. Camcorder now chewing tape on rewind, so looking to replace it with a flash or a HD camcorder - camcorder only used for holidays, family events, local community activities, so very high quality output not essential. iMovie '06 absolutely requires a Firewire (iLink) connection, which the Canon has. I believe that iMovie...

Does anyone know if I should be able to capture video (download from tape) from my camcorder to PC ( Windows 64 bit using Moviemaker)? I have tried using my sons Windows 7 (32 bit) which I used to use when it was running Vista, but I can't get it to work (using Windows Live Movie Maker it says it will rewind the tape but doesn't - using the proper Movie Maker 2.6 I get an error message...

Hi, I have a Canon XL2 which has a problem in that the 'DV out' does not work. Alll other outputs work fine. I have sought a quote from Jessops to repair the camera. They have quoted £407 and the repair description is 'Parts - 1 Main BD ASSY'. Can anyone assist in relation to the neature of the repair suggested and the cost?

Ouch. 8-year-old Sony trv240 now has no firewire interface (a known problem with badly designed connectors, iirc??). Anyway, a quick phone call to Sony quotes me a fixed price of over £170 to repair, which is ludicrous. So, time for new camcorder I think. Trouble is, I'm way out of touch with developments. Is something like the Canon fs306 a reasonable replacement, without spending the...

That every time I switch the video recorder on I get a messaged saying 'a new DVB service has been found? I let it run once a week, but as soon as I have let the thing run through the process of locating new programmes, the next day I get the same message, surely they cannot be introducing new stations every day? Alan

I have many old overseas movies which come with subtitles in files, or selectable subtitles from the menu in the player software such as "VLC" media player. I can get these to play OK on the computer, though it is hard to burn them to DVD/XVid with the subtitles of my choice imbedded in the image. Therefore I ask:

I have recorded a program from the TV onto a DVD-RW disc. I would like to keep the program but edit out thwe adverts. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I could achieve this please ?

I'm posting this on behalf of my friend, who is about to buy a laptop. She has a DV camera that's from back when they cost a bit, and a new Flip HD. She still very satisfactorily uses the DV camera with her 2004 Mac, which is a 1 ghz machine, possibly 1.3, with 1 gb of RAM. Her pc is older still, a 1 ghz machine with 512 mb of RAM. Obviously these are long in the tooth now, and we've been...

I want to edit a quick video on my laptop. At home I have pinnacle studio on the main computer but only have laptop with me so I tried editing it in Windows Live Movie Maker. It seemed to work surprisingly well but when I try to save it as a movie file instead of a project I get the error message "The system cannot find the path specified". Same message no matter how I try to save it and...

Does anyone know how to capture a video clip from the BBC's web site for saving to a PC? Thanks - CJB

Here's the scenario. I muiss a programme on TV I download a TV program from uknova I urn it onto a DVD RW so that I can take it downstairs and put it on the Master DVD Trouble is, the DVD player that I use to transfer it to the Master DVD is

Hi, In the next few days I intend to purchase the Panasonic HDC-TM10 Hi-Def camcorder. A review say " Plug the HDC-TM10 into a PC using the mini-USB cable and you can obviously copy your photos and video off directly. Video footage is encoded in the AVCHD format as .MTS files. Panasonic supplies its fiddly HD Writer software for content management, plus basic editing and conversion."
