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

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."

Hi I have acquired a Samsung Sports Camcorder (model: VP-X220L) and need to attach an external microphone to it. Unfortunately it is a model which is 2 or 3 years old now but it was 'top-of-the-range' at the time - (it even has 2GB of internal memory!) Samsung's website don't mention any accessories at all for it now.

Hi I am trying to record audio tracks *directly* into my laptop (because my camcorder doesnt produce good enough quality sound using it's internal microphone). What would be the best tie-clip microphone for me to buy? How's about the "Olympus ME-15 Tie Clip Microphone" I have a laptop which is a Thinkpad T60 (UK model 2007-F4G) (about 2+

Hi Any advice on roughly how much money we'd need to spend to get "good quality" video results that we could post on the web? (Sorry I am a total newbie at video...) £100? £200? We would be hosting it either on YouTube or similar albeit in the best resolution that they can deliver, so there is obviously no need for

From my research TestFreaks.co.uk looks quite useful for aggregating reviews from elsewhere. From what I can see the Panasonic SDR-S26 looks quite promising (about £181) but no sign of an external microphone hole. ?? Camcorders - SD Camcorders - SDR-S26 - Specification - UK & Ireland The Samsung VP-MX20 also looks quite promising (£132) but again no sign of any way of connecting an external...

Lots of choices out their but are they the right one? Making sure you choose the right one can save you the time and effort , and money it takes to upgrade later.

All, I would like to make my own "Real Life Videos" for Tacx indoor cycling trainers (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmQ3NXw9-BE). This involves filming the road ahead from a car (or motorcycle) as you drive (usually up a big mountain:). The requirements are- High Quality Good Stabilizer (I assume)

All, Any positive feedback after using Canon VIXIA HF S100 Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder or how it is called in Europe? Its price is getting down, it's around $900 now, I just made one company drop $200 from the price because of the competitors. But I'm still not sure if it makes sense to buy it. On one hand - it's the very best in this class, it's HD, it's using SDHC and a 32GB...

All, Have you ever heard about some device that could be used to copy the DV tapes to the computer? I used Canon GL2 to create many tapes. Some of them are already permanently located on my RAID array, but this is a huge amount of data and I'd prefer to use a simle quick way of copying these tapes, but I don't want to use camcorder for this operation. So the question appeared - is it...

Hello all, I wondered if someone could help me. I have copied some video off my MiniDV camera onto my computer via an IEE1394 cable using Windows Movie Maker set to 25fps PAL. I edited the video and added captions etc. then saved the edited video as an AVI 25fps PAL. When I play this AVI video using GOM Player it looks great. Things start to go wrong though when I try to create a DVD...

All, Have you ever heard about possible firmware upgrades for Canon DV camcorders like GL2? There are couple very annoying things in this camcorder and I'm not sure if that already fixed or not. 1. This camcorder supports SDHC media cards, it's easy to find that on the Internet. But the trap is that these cards can only be used for the photos with the great fine resolution - 1.7 MPx. So you...

Any suggestions? kino does not seem to allow me to overlay audio over video. Looks like you can splice videos end to end and that's it. kdenlive seems good but is a little flakey, with transitions very flakey. cinelerra - I have no idea what is going on there. Thanks,
