Recently bought my first digital camcorder (Sony PC8E). I want to transfer footage onto video CD's - I do not have a DVD burner I know (?) that I need a firewire card & some software; Dabs have the Lucent 3 port firewire card inc Cyberlink Power Director SE for £15 (quicklink 17ZKWS). I seem to recall some good comments about the card a few weeks go in the group - can anyone advise re the...

"DJ" wrote in message ... I have a dvd writer and a dvd rom. Does it matter which is master and which is slave? Thanks I temporarily have a LiteOn 52x CD-burner as my master, and a Pioneer DVR-105 as slave. I burn CDRs on the LiteOn and DVDs on the Pioneer equally well.

Any suggestions(apart from the obvious one) please. I have got an 8mm Sony digi DCR-TRV730E, worked fine when using Adobe, MGI VideowaveIII, Ulead etc etc, when I was using 98SE. I was talked(nagged) into upgrading the operating system to XP and the inevitable happened. Lost the use of many peripherals including the the Digicam, XP refuses to allow the dirvers etc to load. Finally after 3...

i'm using ulead 5.0 with a sony handycam and ti drivers. when i try to capture, i get a message after a few seconds that there is no common media type between the pins. i'm using AVI 720x480 DV NTSC 29.97fps because i've used this before and it has worked. i've also tried other formats since i got the error but none has worked. what's the problem? thanks for any help gary

If I have a film bought new on VHS in the early 90s, am I entitled to download a digital copy of it, for the higher quality, or do I have to pay for it again? (in which case forget it!) Download from where? Any file available for download isn't going to be better quality than the VHS. Anyway, you know the answer perfectly well. :-)

Is the DV or MiniDV compression format lossy in any way whatsoever or is it non lossy like for example the zip format? Tia

Hi, I am considering buying a new camcorder and am a little lost with regard to which one to go for. I am a little sweet on the new Canon MV6iMC but as it is quite new I don't expect to see a magazine review for a while. can anyone suggest a good active Website that has reviews and comments from real users that I might find useful for some research. Thanks.........

Is there a program available which will let me split a large AVI file into more manageable parts? I have a 14gig file which I'd like to split into 3 or 4 smaller parts. Mike.

Hi, If I use a sony dcr vx9000e camera that uses DVcam tape to record something, then edit on pc, and print to mini dv tape, is the quality reduced by going to mini tape, rather than dvcam tape? In general is there a difference in quality between dvcam tape and mini dv tape? Thanks,

I hope someone has the answer to this!

Hello, we will be shooting a film soon on 2 digital cameras; a panasonic DVCPro and a JVC miniDV. The problem is, the film is supposed to be in widescreen. Only our JVC supports widescreen so our initial plan is to use that in 16:9, with the other shooting 4:3, then simply crop the top and bottom off it. When the film renders out then from our Edit what we will get is a 4:3 frame with black bars...

Take the proffesionals advice,like I didn't and leave pinnacle on the shelf. I have never used such a bug ridden piece of junk as this ever before. This is true of studio 7 and 8,although 8 dosn't seem to mess things up as much,only in a different way! I refer to the bugs where scenes are left out,duplicated,titles not doing what you want,audio not real time,the list goes on.If you can...

Try Gotcha! Multiple camera inputs,selectable % of change to trigger recording,quite a good bit of software! "SkiJumpToes" wrote in message ... I dont know if any of you use ur cams for ghost watching etc. bu basically it involves you setting up a cam in a room for the night and then watching it the next morning for any strange...

I'm glad I'm not the only one with problems! All the pinnacle studio range seem to have major 'bugs' that screw up titles,add/remove/duplicate scenes at random,even though the timeline is correct. It may be worth noting that the pinnacle video codec is quite an efficiant one(unlike the rest of the software!),and probably not totally supported by adobe. The pinnacle express dvd compiler only works...

Which edition of Nero do I need to write DVD's? Got a Sony DRU 510a drive but don't like the sw so thought I'd splash out on Nero unless someone has any better solutions? Thanks

Any suggestions for top quality mini dv tapes,durability,degredation,re-record etc.Which is best?
