Hi All, I'm REALLY hoping somebody can help out here! I've got several short clips of around 20 seconds each recorded onto an SD card via a Pentax S6 digital camera running in movie mode - it records .AVI files. They playback as well as can be expected in the camera but I can't find any way of storing them and playing them on my PC - has anybody got any ideas?

Does anybody have any experience of the Sony DCRSR90 handycam? Or, at least, have some idea of battery life? Terence Watts

Hi Can anyone recommend some software for Windows XP/Vista that will help me to transfer 1 hour MiniDV tapes onto DVD? Either free/low cost is fine. What DVD capacity is recommended? thanks Craig

I have a fairly old XP laptop computer running at about 1.5 GHz. Some DVDs play fine but some recent ones have been very juddery as if the processor hasn't sufficient power to decode the video so breaks up the picture. The sound quality is fine. Can I buy a PCMCIA card to speed things along? I can't find any display adaptor in System - Hardware under Sound, video and games controllers other...

Hello everyone! I found a new software named AVTJet Video Studio, I applied the software's "animated romance" and "3D screen", and made a 3GP movie for my baby. i put it into my mobile phone , it's really cool! http://www.download.com/AVTJet-Video-Studio/3000-2194_4-10634299.html?tag=lst-0-1

I have a programme that I've recorded from the TV. The file size if 5.6 GB, so it's too big to go on my standard single layered DVD discs. So I was wondering if there are any freeware programs that would allow me to cut down the size to something that I can record to DVD. Thanks (in advance)

Hello, I just got a second-hand GSE MPE-2000 Pro video editor but both the program and the user manual are in German. Since GSE is out of business now I was wondering if you'd have an idea about how I could get an English (or French) version of the user manual either in electronic form/download or simply a photocopy? Thank you. --

If anyone is interested you can download a beta version of Soundbooth from here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/soundbooth/ I've been trying it a bit. It will open an .avi to edit the audio track. Margaret

Hi: The hard drive in my Panasonic DVD player is showing signs that it may be on the way out (it's started 'Self-testing' for up to five minutes before it will let me view it). Were this the hard drive on my computer, I'd be backing it up like crazy; what's the recommended action with the hard drive in a DVD player? I don't fancy putting 80 hours of movies onto DVDs.

Does, or has anyone, any practical experiance of using the 'Huffyuv' (v2.1.1) codec. Are the authors claims correct, any issuse etc., I understand that there was an issue with uninstalling it pre v2.1.1 version but that has been sorted? http://neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/benrg/huffyuv.html

Hi, I have just bought a JVC GR-D340E/EK digital video camera and have a couple of questions. I am new to this technology... How is the data stored on tape, as a digital file or as analog video (like old video camers)? If I use the DV connector to firewire on my PC an I getting the stored digital recording off tape, if not what? If I use the S-video connector (or composite video connector)...

I have been trying to find out if there is a way to move the anchor point of a clip so that when I add a rotation it will rotate aroung where the anchor point is placed. In the effects window, I can use the mouse to grab a numerical value for the anchor point and drag it left or right to increase or decrease the value and the anchor point slowly becomes aligned where I want it in the preview...

When playing my movie back in the preview panal while editing it jumps instead of running smoothly. What could caused this?

sony pd-150 video camera wanted in good condition(greater london)

I have hand a wander around the internet to find some information on Camcorder head cleaning. We have 3 Canon camcorders of varying ages and none has ever been cleaned. Now the oldest (MV30), which I mainly use for capture, has decided that it doesn't want to transfer cleanly. I realised that it must be the heads having transferred the tape to the PC on the newest camera and it was...

I am hoping someone can help me please. I have been trying for weeks to 'burn' a DVD. I have managed to capture the video from the camera. At the time all I had available was Windows Movie Maker but I realised I was going to need something different for burning to a DVD that would play on a domestic DVD player. I have been trialling Ulead Movie Factory 5 which seemed quite easy to...

I am going to buy: 1. a 15" BRAVIA 4:3 LCD TV with Integrated Digital Tuner + PC Input 2. a 160 GB HDD DVD Recorder with integrated digital TV tuner. 1. If I connect my VHS system to the DVD recorder, will I be able to convert directly my VHS tapes into digital or will I need a special software? 2. Is the DVD recorder strong enough to be placed directly under the (small) LCD TV?
