Hello: Has anyone in UK have a chance to try out this new Sony VCT-1170RM tripod yet? I like it light weight with the remote controller ready. I'm from USA and this tripod doesn't exist in USA yet. If I really want it, I'll have to order it from either UK or Singapore. It's a lot more expensive in UK though. I am thinking of ordering it from a place in Singapore for USD460.00 after...

I've just taken digital video footage of a wedding service from a camcorder mounted on a tripod (I was a the father of the groom and obliged to stay in my appointed seat). The lack of variation in view makes it boring to watch. Do any of you know of any any editing software available that will allow me to do the equivalent of zoom in and out (and after zooming pan) to add interest to the shots? I...

I want to write a few short home movies onto DVD- I understand that Pinnicle 8 can be used to capture, edit and burn DVD's.. any one any experiences with it? What is the actual package called and how much would it cost in the UK? GD

Just wondering if anyone is capturing and editing on Linux? What distro are you using and what software ? -- Muzz Reply to Replies to slash will not be read.

Anyone knows if is possible to play TS stream connecting an STB to a PC using CI interface?? This is just the way Panasonic TU-MS100 works but I need to know if is possible with any type of STB that has CI-interface. I need it because I don't want to buy an RF modulator. Thanks. Alex

Hi all I have been shooting and editing for a couple of years with my Canon MV4i. Recently the camera has caught a few tapes causing that bit of footage to become ruined when playing back tapes. This has not yet happened when recording. I immediately bought a head cleaner (20 quid !) and used it for the 10 seconds that the instruction manual indicated.

Hi, I'm a complete noob in the world of camcorderism but I'm off to Vancouver soon and thought it would be nice to record the visit. Someone where I work is selling a Canon MV400(not i) for £250 though I think I can get them down to £225..anyway, I digress.. My main problem is finding information on this kit, every possible permutation of searching via google/ask/yahoo/av just hammers me...

What method would y'all use to capture 8mm kodachrome movie film?

Hello Peter, I have been doing video editing for 4 years now and am a Sony/Sonic Foundry Vegas user. I have been using Windows 98SE and am preparing to upgrade to Windows XP professional. I have been researching drivers for my Voodoo 5 5500 video card and cannot find a post anywhere from a fellow video editor to help me select one. I found this which you posted last February on this forum: "I...

First of all I'm a total newbie at capturing as you will soon seen I would like to be able to capture from my vcr to my pc. I've received a advc 100 today and I have conected it to a firewire card in my pc. I have conected my vcr to it via a scart in the vcr to a s-video and a l&r audio in conections (red& white) these are all in the front panel of the advc. The switches on the bottom are all off...

Rite folks, here it is. I'm planning on buying a digital camera (haven't quite decided but leaning towards the Panasonic NVDS650B) and need to make sure my computer will accomadate comfortably my soon-to-be editing demands. I've had alot of experience at college with the software and for editing, but am a complete guppy wen it comes to the hardware side of things. My home computer is an...

I am trying to capture DV from my camera direct to a DVD using Nero Vision Express or U lead Movie Maker 2. Video is transferred OK but can,t get the audio across. I,ve tried altering various settings but some of them in nero are greyed out. If I capture to the hard drive first and then save to a DVD all seems OK. Any ideas please. Thanks Brian

Blimey, how to choose? I have picked up that Pinnacle may be flaky, but I assume it works ok with some combinations of h/w, where is a good place to look, is there a support forum or usenet group so I can see if people are having issues with similar h/w to mine? AFAICS there are a stack of 'budget' apps around £50 or less to pick between, otherwise its up to several hundred for the bigger...

I am in the process of getting a new p.c. and want to know which capture card / what spec I should be looking for. I want to put all my 8mm camcorder footage onto cd (vcd/svcd) or dvd, I will have both burners in new machine. I also plan to buy a new digital camcorder this summer and will want to do the same with the footage from that. Any advice gratefully recieved. Thanks in advance Andy

Hi, I'm rather new in this field, so excuse me if I ask questions long answered. I now bought a DVD-burner, because I thought that the DVD quality would be equal to the original Digital-8 tapes. But I see that the images from the DVD are a touch less lively. That is a pity.

Hi all, Does anyone know what the diferences between a Sony DCR-TRV33 and a Sony DCR-PC103 ? I know the PC103 is smaller and lighter, but thats about all I can figure out! Thanks S

hello, I am asking this on behalf of a friend who just bought the Sony DCRTRV14 MiniDV digital camcorder. He wants to know if you can transfer footage you have recorded on the tape to your PC via USB. It seems that you can do "live streaming" from the camera to the PC i.e. it kind of acts like a webcam but can you record some video onto tape then transfer this later to you PC via the USB...

I am editing documentaries for a local PBS, so simple, quick, stable hard+software is sufficient for me. My questions, for which I am seeking enlightment here, a - Rather smeary, washed sub titles in certain conditions, - Double letters/ghosting within the title - On a tv screen, the DC30 produces a horizontal bar, one looks concave, the next convex, then concave etc. which...
