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...

I wish to place some footage on a web site but there is a size limit. How do I convert to wmv or maybe other smaller formats Used Pinnacle to convert to Mpeg but it is still to big Thanks Phil

Dear all, hope you can help. I have a DV camcorder - new, not brilliant stuff, a modest canon mvx460. I have quite a powerful pc with plenty of hard disk space. My problem is that the length of time it takes to render a video. After I copy my 60 minutes of home video onto the pc and edit this using say, Nero, or Videoworks or the package that came with the camera, I find that once I get...

I will be buying my first digital camcorder soon. I have been checking various models on the internet and narrowed it down to two camcorders which are within my budget. 1. Panasonic NV GS300 http://www.camerastore.com.au/Panasonic+NV%2DGS300-details.htm and 2. Canon MVX250i.

I recently created a movie using Adobe Premiere 6.0 and exported the movie in DVD Mpeg format using Canopus ProCoder. The original footage was edited in Pinnacle DV AVI format. The Mpeg was then loaded into Nero Vision 4 for DVD authoring. The problem I am seeing is that when I record the movie to a DVD and view it on a TV, anytime the camera moves the image appears to flicker/blur. At first I...

where is the best place to get digital 8 tapes from ?

I just wondered if anyone else has trouble getting their camcorder recognised when they are connecting it to their computer with the DV cable? I've always found it to be really temperamental and a lot of the time it simply doesn't detect it. I have a 1394 port on the front of my computer on the Sound Blaster bay, and there is also one on the back.

Hi Group, Can anyone tell me how to clean the heads on my hi 8 video camera. T.I.A. Micky Leeds U.K

All, I'm the lucky owner of GL2, but I'd like to make my wife a gift buying another one, simple, hopefully cheap but convenient and relatively good camcorder, because she doesn't want even to touch this semi-pro one. :) I found a few simple ones in the nearest store, like: JVC GRD 372 US (for 280 USD) Panasonic PVGS36 (for 300 USD)

Jerry, Dmitri, how many times are you going to ask the same question, changing the subject line isn't going to get you any more answers (indeed such behaviour might get you less), people will either be able to help you or not the first time around... Please don't be so impatient, remember that replying to Usenet is voluntary! :~)

Does FCP come with any additional apps that allow you to create loop music tracks or sound effect tracks? I am familiar with Premiere Pro and for that I use things like acid style to create my own music or sound effect tracks to add to the Premiere timeline, but I thought that FCP had some additional apps that did this as well. Thanks for any advice.

I have a Sony DCR-HC30 which I use on average once or month. On last few occasions I'm finding the touch screen either doesn't work at all or the onscreen buttons are hit and miss. Things improve if I recalibrate the touch screen. Is this normal due to the level of (dis)use? Thanks for any advice.

Hi, I myself am a submitter of photo's to shutterstock. And it isn't that bad at all (despite what people would say) Lately they allow video's to be submitted too. Each video sells around $99 of which you get 30%. That's a much better deal than the one we (photographers) get. :-((( Anyway, if you have some video's just laying around. Maybe you could make

With 16:9 widescreen and reasonably good optical zoom. Ease of use a bonus. And of course good picture quality. Perhaps with Night Recording mode. Not bothered about memory card/still photography. What do people like? Cheers,
