I have a brand new Sony 510A drive. It's installed correctly, device manager says it's working properly but Adobe Premiere, Studio 8 and none of the Veritas programs supplied with it recognise the drive (although Nero does). Can anyone suggest a solution. OS is XP. Proc is AMD Ath 2200 with plenty of Ram and HDD space.

£190 off a TRV33

I'm considering getting one of these: http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/Shop/detail.asp?ProductID=1012&CategoryID=&SubCategoryID= DV in/out etc. Any views? Rob.

I have finally managed to get a reasonable project saved to an AVI thanks to the help of Ulead VideoStudio 6. I now wish to get this file onto DVD. I have Nero Burning ROM but this does not recognise the AVI file. Do I need NeroVision and/or some other plugin to get this to DVD? Thanks for your help Martin.

Using Nero to burn VCD's, is it possible to create a menu which has a music bed in the background? Pete

For all of you who burn their own DVD's there is an article in the new (Sept.) issue regarding issues involving disk life expectancy. I haven't check to see if they have placed the article on their web site ( http://www.computervideo.net/ ) yet, either way it might be worth a read.

"Mike" wrote in message ... Hi I need to find a mic for a Canon MV650i that will mask wind noise better than the in-built mic. I know Canon make a mic, but @120 GBP. Can anyone suggest a more reasonably priced alternative that will do the job? Mike I bought two mics from Maplin. One is a large stereo one and the...

Jessops do two cheap mikes (~£30), one's stereo and the other is mono but directional. They're fitted with some form of foam windgag, but it would probably be better to get a suitable Rycote windgag and you may get some improvement. Do you have headphones so that you can check at the shop? -- M Stewart Milton Keynes, UK www.megalith.freeserve.co.uk/oddimage.htm

Hi Any suggestions for the best video editing software. I currently have StudioDV, but it's a bit old hat, and there are many more available. Is it worth upgrading the software for my camera? What are the benefits compared to Studio DV? Cheers

Anyone got any experience of these new digital dictation gadgets from Dixons, etc. I suspect they don't sample at high enough quality? I believe they are only mono and d/load as a wav file to PC. Looking for something portable that doesn't require consumables as recordable minidiscs. Is there anything worth buying. Using camcorder and mic at present and getting good results but would prefer...

Hi all, hope I'm in the right group. I have a Sony DXC-325P CCD Camera which I use it with a Sony V0-6800P U-Matic Portable Recorder. For some reason the camera will now only record in black and white. I know it's not the recorder as I have tried another camera and it plays back in colour as normal.

Hi, Can anybody tell me if I can enable the DV In on my Sony TRV16e mini DV recorder. Thanks Stewart

I'm trying to record from my VHS video recorder to my Panasonic digital camera. I am using a scart adapter and a SVHS lead but can only obtain black and white. The scart adapter has been replaced but will only record in B&W. I know that the SVHS lead is OK. Will record in colour with the composite lead. Any ideas would be appreciated. Phil

In message , Peter Hanwright writes Hi, thinking of purchasing the Shuttle SB61 G2 P4 version for editing DV clips. Has anyone had any experience with these? Proposed spec 2.6 GH 800 FSB 512 DDR 400

I'm a (nearly total) newbie too in this area, and have the TRV22; video from which I've uploaded to my PC using a firewire card and Ulead VS 7. Somewhere I think I saw some reference to a "preview" mode having lower resolution, and that may be what you're seeing on your laptop screen. Captured & edited video sent to miniDV tape and then viewed on TV via the TRV22 has been fine. -- M Stewart

I was all set to purchase the panasonic then along came the TRV 33 here in Aus, now I am confused. Would love to hear some of your comments as most commercial reviews are mixed and tend to be a little biased. The camera would mostly be used for videos of the kids playing sport etc and for internal video under ordinary house lighting. I have a seperate digital Canon IXUS 330 so I am not...

SOny TRV33 is pretty good
