Am doing a family history video project centered on interviews with a
couple about to celebrate their 50th anniversary. I plan to insert old
photos at appropriate places, and was wondering if anyone has come
across a source of archival video stock footage you can download or
purchase. Videos that would show old footage from the 1920's 30's,

Just to update in case anyone reads this...I bought the MV600i, and am
well pleased with it!
I found some good advice on a thread somewhere, and have ordered a
back copy of PC Tools magazine (May 02) which has a full version of
Pure Emotion's Edit Studio (version 2) which I will hopefully be able
to upgrade for £20 on their website. I ordered a cheap FireWire card
from Dabs (£11.75 in vat and...

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!)
AIU the copyright laws you best forget it !...

| | Adobe announces Premiere Pro by
Dave R
In case folks haven't seen this, it may be of interest. Looks like it's
revamped significantly.
Needs XP though :( Looks like I'll be sticking with 6.0 or switching to
Vegas then.
Expected release in August, but no trial version as yet.

| | is there a consumer way to get better than DVD video by
Jim
I suspect not, just curious if it can be done atm.
I play most my videos on a high-end PC monitor, with 2048*1536 resolution
and DVI interconnects. If I take a full relolution pic form my digital
camera, scale it down to a lower resolution like 640*480 (which I /think/
is about dvd quality) and then back up again to fit the screen it is of
noticably lower quality. The difference isn't huge,...

Felix Luther
Dear uk.re.video.digital users,

South America. Now I've returned I want to mix my digital footage
with vhs footage I have from previous trips.

| | Studio 8......Dropped frames on DV output......Update by
Paul
In an effort to try to cure the Dropped frame problem, I ditched
studio 8 and got Vegas 4.
Vegas is extremely good, With more control over the edit than Studio
offers and no glitches at all.
I Recaptured my film and edited it. I output it to the camcorder and
to my horror exactly the same problem of dropped frames
occured......completly random, although usually about 30 sec to a
minute apart

Stefan Moers
Hello
I have the following problem:
I want to digitize a VHS Tape, recorded in the USA.
We tried with a TV Card, but it seems, that the card does not support the
NTSC format.
The recorded video was black/white and was flickering at the lower part of
the screen.

Mark \(UK\)
Hi all,
I'm new to digital video editing, and have installed a copy of Adobe Premier
6.0. I was hoping to load up some avi files from my hard drive in order to
crop some frames and set them up for online streaming. The problem is that
the avi files were recorded on a Canon Digital Ixus v3, which has compressed
the video, and Adobe won't open them, it says it is an incompatible
compression.

| | DVCam recording to mini dv tape, Quality issue ? by
Brad Gerrard
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,

David Beck
I'm having problems outputting video from Studio 8 to a Panasonic NV-GS70
via IEEE1394 cable.
Studio 8 begins the process and I can see my camcorder go into pause and
then record mode, the initial frame is frozen (all this seems to be as
expected), then when the software switches the camcorder into record mode,
it records approx 1 second (probably less) of video and then no more seems

Hi,
I'd like to start a business in my local town offering a VHS --- DVD
conversion service. I've got a DVD writer but find the area of Video Capture
Cards and Editing Software to be very confusing.
Can anyone recommend the right kit to use that would be suitable for
commercial quality rather than just home use? WinTV seem to do some cheap
home products but this kit must be too cheap to use as...
