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,

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...

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?

strange thing: my firewire-connection from my sony DSR-PD150P to my PC (AMD 2.6 ghz+, 256 MB ram, harddrive 7200 rpm) works fine when capturing. when printing to DV (using adobe premiere 6.5), or just playing back a clip on the sony-display, i get drop outs every couple of seconds. the display turn blue (no signal, i guess), and comes back a second later. could it be lack of computing-power on...

Can anyone please help. I have a Sony Digital 8 (TRV240E) with DV in and out, Pinnacle Studio 7. I've captured and edited my movie. Now I would ideally like to make a SVCD. Which option do I choose to get the best quality possible. I have tried making the movie using the MPEG option but I wasn't impressed with the final quality, to be honest camcorder to VHS tape looked better quality. ...

To Pinnacle DV500+ users. Has any user come across any unusual, perhaps intermittent, incorrect hue output? My system will produce colour bars as below,then correct itself, normall only once a session. http://138.253.27.60:8080/myimage.jpg Would like to know what other users may have discovered to correct the problem. TIA

In article , Martin Cade martin@cade2 003.freeserve.co.uk writes I've tried to get some pictures into Windows Movie Maker via the front firewire port but the software only seems to be set up for "audio only", presumably because there is no video capture card installed? If so, will the PCI card to be fitted do the job? Fellow newcomer here, don't know...

Hi everyone, I am using the Ulead Video Studio 6 with the DVD Creator plug-in. My question is this: Once you have rendered the video and written it to disc is it possible to write the project on to another disc without re-rendering. If, for example, you have finished a project written it to disc and closed the program but when you come to play the disc it does not work. You then want to...

I am considering buying a Sony camcorder (probably the TVR 19) How long do the batteries last. By this I mean should I buy another battery for the camcorder or would one be OK and just keep it charged.

Will this capture card work with Win2000, I have seen conflicting advice. The editing software with the card is StudioDC10+ and will not install as won't the .inf for the drivers. On Pinnacle's site there's a patch to get Studio7 with the DC10 card to run in 2000 but I guess support for DC10+ editing is phasing out. In any case when I used 98SE I could use the card but did not bother with the...
