Hi Folks. Is it permitted to mention that I have put an almost brand new Sony DCR-HC45E miniDV on eBay with no reserve? I hope so, 'cos I think that's what I have just done! -- Zak

Can anyone please tell me how I can simply edit a .wmv and save it in the same format?.. and if needs be preferably with a...

I want to purchase 12 volts video camera light anywhere in the world and Asia or India or where it is cheap. All I need is the support and the bulb 100 watt or 100 watts +. Something similar to this light below http://www.paglight.com/ I DO NOT NEED the 12 volts battery as I have many portable 12 volts batteries.

How do these processors compare for tasks like video editing? the Intel core 2 duo the Intel dual core xeon the Intel quad core xeon Can anyone suggest some sites that have performance comparisons? Can the dual and quad core xeons be used to build PCs or are they just for use on Macs? Which motherboards would support them? Thanks for any advice.

Is anybody having any experience with Unclosed DVD Session? I received couple DVD disks in mail with some Video written with Samsung VCR/DVD writer but both DVD disks are having unclosed sessions. So the disks can not be officially recognized in DVD player or on my computer. Although I was able to make a copy of these disks using Nero = disk image. I know that I need to find a way to close...

I value the advice that I have been given here on many occasions. I recently took a course on Final Cut Pro 5 and I was very impressed by what I saw. The studio version includes a music creation program and a special effects program that some say is comparable to After Effects, plus a dvd creation program and some sort of file format converter, which I think is called Compressor.. My current...

I have my Windows XP Pro installation disk which includes service pack 1, but I read that to install Windows XP on a Mac Pro you need to have a Windows disk that includes service pack 2. I read somewhere else that you can create a Windows installation disk that includes service pack 2 so that you can install Windows and not have to waste the time updating to service pack 2, but I don't...

I want to get a Mac Pro desktop and use FCP Studio 2, but all of my previous experience is on the PC side of computing. I normally build my own computers and have a fair amount of experience doing so, but I read that Macs are generally bought as is and should not be tampered with. I would appreciate some advice on what I can and can't do with a new Mac Pro. On a new Mac Pro that has two 2.66...

Which of the camcorders out let you choose and adjust the audio format you want to use? ~ Could camcorders out there record MP3 audio at, say, 44.1kHz/160kbps per channel? ~ Also two other features I would like to have a ~ being able to use a power cord instead of having to always use batteries, and

I wonder if someone can help. I have recently subscribed to photobucket, thinking that it would be an extremely quick and simple way of say loading 20 photos up onto a Web page so that they could be seen by friends and family. However no matter how I have tried tried to configure it, all I can seem to achieve is ending up with a list of urls, which have to be clicked on individually to produce a...

Original Thread for the benefit of uk.rec.video.digital: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.photo.digital/browse_thread/thread/cdbdcf10b5272e6c/08c1f3f37c231690?lnk=st&q=sanyo+xacti+HD2+review&rnum=1#08c1f3f37c231690 Update: I have uploaded a couple of low light videos. Results are disappointing. I could quickly and easily compile and burn a DVD using the supplied ULead software. I didn't try...

Do they conform to a standard when it comes to dimensions? Is there anything I need to be wary of if I want to replace the existing writer in my laptop? The current model is a Philips SDVD8820 - and it's a PoS. I'm looking at replacing it with a Pioneer or NEC.

VARIOUS ARTISTS "Seedmouth" CD (1996, Cold Spring # CSR12) Dark ambient always had quite a strict definition, which was enough for many bands and solo-projects of musicians worldwide. Minimalistic and free from pronounced details or emotional outbursts, it carries a lot of the hypnotic effects, created due to monotonous sonority

I downloaded a TV documentary from the Internet which I saved as a ..wmv file. When I tried to play it, it said it was DRM protected. It seems stupid that if I had recorded the documentary when it was broadcast, there would have been no problem but because I missed it and downloaded it later, I am having all this hassle. Any suggestions, folks? -- Alasdair.

With many modern DVD recorder/players being quite compatible I am wondering as to the best format to use for DVD recording. What are the advantages or otherwise of DVD+/+RW over DVD-/-RW Geoff Lane

Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this question, and kindly point me to the right place. I have an elderly VCR which I am intending to replace, as it's starting to give problems occasionally. I plan to buy a DVD Recorder, but I'm being pushed towards one combined with a VCR. Since I only want to keep the VCR to play the tapes I've already got, this seems like a waste of...
