Gentlemen, Who knows how can we get the file names showing the date and time of the footage using Vegas Studio? The pretty "simple" Movie Maker is able to extract this info from the tapes easily and it shows this info when imports the files that made itself. Is that possible in Vegas Studio at all? I know that there are some settings in Vegas...

Hi, I am trying to record from a Panasonic DV (NV-GS35) camcorder directly to dvd+rw via Firewire. XP pro, 384 MB Ram. I keep getting ' The input signal and the output format are incompatible. Please choose another disc format' Anyone had this prob before ? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone got a leaflet or user guide for one of these? I've lost ours and I need to reprogram it. TIA Nick

If I was to burn a Dual Layer Disc in a PC Burner would this play on standalone dvd players/recorders (a recorder which doesn't support dual layer writing) or would it be an invalid disc. Seems to me that if dual layer recordable discs are worthwhile they must be able to play on the majority of standalone players/recorders out there which probably don't support dual layer writing - or do they...

Hi I had an idea instead of connecting my MiniDV cam to computer via firewire and transferring the tape at 13gb an hour in order to edit - just burn a DVD-RW on my DVD Recorder then import the .vob files off the disc onto the computer using much less hard drive space. I can't use moviemaker anyway as I run Windows 2003 so getting a free editing program to capture and edit straight off the...

My Sony camera has failed, TRV19E, I suspect it's the optical sensor, Sony want the thick end of 200 quid for a fixed price repair and for that money I would rather buy a new camera. So can anyone*recommend someone in either Surrey or Essex who could fix it for a*reasonable price ? TIA. --

Would go from a Canon MV900 camcorder into a Lite-On LVW5006 DVD Recorder ? Is it 6 pin to 4 pin? and is it the same as the one for the computer? Thanks

Maybe the question is pretty simple... I'm just curious. Does anybody know what's going on? I downloaded the same fragments from the camcorder a few hours later, got the same set of DV files, sizes are absolutely equal. The byte to byte comparison shows that these files are not equal and are having some minor differences like 1 byte every Kbyte or something like that. Why? I was expecting...

Why are you bothering to reply to *long dead* threads?...

Hi all, I'm writing an article on camcorders and camcorder formats and would like to speak to anyone who uses either HDD, DVD or Mini DV models about the benefits and drawbacks of these formats in everyday use and from an editing point of view. I know I could ask the "industry analysts" or the manufacturuers, but I'd much rather get a steer from people who actually use the beasts.

Somebody asked, don't remember who but it's not important... Just got a new info about one in my computer periodic... http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/actiondvr-records-your-uneventful-life-214824.php http://www.actiondvr.com/ Hope it helps.. Just D.

I was extolling the virtues of Elements to a colleague today, and he asked if MM could also do the same. Well, is there a comparison chart that shows what each can do? Simple DVD authoring; capture from DV, scene edit, add music, titles and chapters.

Have just tried authoring to DVD+R DL and neither of my stand alone DVD players will play them. Both players are happy with virtually all DVD+-R(W) I chuck at them. My PC dvd drives recognise the recordings as DVD-Video. Has anyone been successful playing dual layer recordings on their dvd players?

I have some MiniDV tapes of home movies that I'd like to get onto my computer to edit before I burn a couple of DVDs to give family members as gifts for Birthdays and Christmas etc. I am just wondering approximately how much space in GB would a 1 hour MiniDV tape take up on my system? Cheers John

I have just discovered (oh dear I hear you all say) that video capture is possible straight from the camera without having to record a tape first. That means I can have a go at capturing direct from 8mm cine film. But, how long can a firewire cable be? I want to set the camera and cine projector a few metres away from the PC. I've found 4.5 metre cables advertised is this as long as they...

Hi group, How do I transfer a mini cassette to dvd. The cassette is smaller than 8mm. Not to clued up on this as it is only a one off. Tried to connect camera to my vcr an copy to video tape then go to disk. Cam will not record to my video. I hope this is making sense. Any help , I will be very gratefull for. Kind Regards,

.... having got my camcorder (and old sony camcorder) recordings onto my pc and edited them I now want to view them on my dvd player connected to my TV. The player is a warfdale dvd 750. If I write a cd (using Nero 6) I can view them on the dvd player but if i write a dvd (dvd+r) then warfdale does not recognise the dvd. so, what do I need to do (answers on a postcard to ...)? Should I be...

Sorry to appear clueless, but is their any difference in the cables used for S-Video & S-VHS? I want to transfer some video footage onto the PC via an S-Video feed (my other choice is composite) and have tried three cables that have the mini-DIN plugs on the end, without success. Two of the cables are cheap 'no name' ones, one is a better quality home theatre cable that has 'S-VHS' marked...
