Hi, I have read in various places that security x-tray machines SHOULD NOT affect either digital camcoders or video tape. However on a recent trip to Paris, my son's Sony DCR-TRV140 (and tapes) was passed through the security x-ray machine at the Louvre museum. The effect of this was that all previously recorded tapes were (temporarily - 2 days) corrupted, and it was not possible, again for...

If i want to put a number of movies onto one DVD, do I put them all into the same VIDEO_TS directory on the disk? regards GD

Hi, im after a mini DV cam with video or DV input. My main requirement for the camera is to record when im mobile, eg cycling snowboarding etc. I need the ability to plug in an external camera(own psu) and ext microphone. Can this be done with a DV input on a camera or is video input different? Can anyone recommend a camera? I was looking at the JVC GR D20 but only has DV out, had a readup...

Still using Pinnacle whilst I learn Vegas. But i cant seem to burn to dvd - creates svcd and vcd no problems...............looks like its burning dvd, even ejects it but nothing on disc? Dave.

I have shot my first movie using a Sony DCR-TRV24SE, imported (via Firewire) and edited it using MS Movie Maker 2. All the colours remained fine until I saved the final movie into WMV, the hue is then again completely wrong, using Windows Media Player if I turn the hue control to the far right or left the colours again look OK. Why should the colours be being reproduced incorrectly, I posted...

Someone somewhere wrote that this was possible but I haven't been able to locate that message again as I don't remember which group it was posted to. I hope this can be done. Everywhere I've looked I can't find mention of being able to cap to anything other than BMP. This is very bad, though, as the caps folder gets too big, too fast. Is this possible? And how would one do it? I can find...

Is there any software that will copy a dvd disc to vcd quickly and simply? Like inserting the dvd disc in drive G, the cd-r disc in drive H, then pressing a button that says copy disc? So it does the conversion automatically? Without me having to select files, or needing a degree in video editing and it taking 15 hours?

Hi I am trying to help out a mate who has got one of these cards and cannot get no audio through it. It captures the video fine but wont get any sound even the tv through the aerial. He has the audio leads connected through the capture card (although he did try it through the sound card but that diddnt work either). I thought it might be a driver problem, any advice appreciated

Hope someone can help? as a newcomer to image editing I must be missing something here, but I will try and explain. When I grab images from my camcorder via USB the original format it saves them in is AVI, when I play these AVI's back the colours are correct. When however I compress them to MPEG (using Sony Image Editor) the colours are reproduced incorrectly. If I use Windows Media Player, by...

Hello - I'm looking for a camcorder to film live bands with. Main requirements: Cheap (in case something bad happens to it) Must give reasonable results in lower light levels DV In/Out (for PC editing of footage) Easy to use (good results with everything set to auto, point and shoot). I've seen a lot of comments about The Canon 600i being grainy in low light, which seems to count it out.

Hi I bought Sony DCR TRV 240 last summer, at first I was pleased with the quality of the indoor picture. But while filming indoors over Christmas (Family Reunion etc) I was shocked at the grainy picture. Outdoor shots were perfect, but I'm not pleased with the indoor footage at all. Could the problem be due to poor lighting in my house (and pub) and would a camera light fitting solve the...

Hello I've got a JVC GR-DVL167 mini digital video camera and I'm wondering what is the best way to get old VHS home videos into my computer. (when i bought it this was not something i considered) I have a firewire card which I use to input digital video taken with my JVC camera but you can't connect a firewire port to a video recorder can you? The easiest way would be to record the VHS into...

Can anyone recommend an external DVD writer? GD

I've just moved my Maxtor 120GB disc from my Win2000 machine into my new XP machine. However XP seems determined to put this drive into PIO Only mode. On Win2K it ran in DMA mode no problem. On my XP machine, the primary drive is running in DMA Mode 5 no problem, so the mobo and chipset support it ok, and I know the Maxtor drive supports it ok, as it's worked previously. Any thoughts from...

I'm looking at ways to preview, from Vegas4, on an external monitor by using a DV-to-analog converter rather than using a camera. As I have two onboard firewire ports, I am considering using a Pinnacle Moviebox as the convertor. Any other suggestions, ideas would be most welcome. regards

Having finally decided to buy the above camcorder I wonder if you guys in here could help me out once more. I've done a search on Google and find that it is available online at various outlets in the price range £312 -- £390. Obviously this is quite a wide range and I would be interested in anybodys comments re Internet suppliers. Regards, Dave All Wainwrights completed 74 Walks......763...

Hi Okay you were all right about Pinnacle 8 - too unstable. Are there any beginners tutorials for Vegas 4? I have downloaded the demo and looking for newbie help? Thanks
