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?

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."

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...

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...
