Anyone got any experience of using this? I'm looking at software for editting stuff from my Sony DCR-HC22E - cutting out unused footage, adding nice transitions, maybe soundtracks, captions etc. before buring to DVD. I've already got NeroVision Express which I got in with a load of other Nero stuff, and it seems quite easy to use, apart from the actual editting of clips to get rid of...

Does anyone know if 'Video Action' (and presumably the parent company) has been wound up / closed down? I know that the owner died a month or so back but now even their domain (page) seems to have gone, defaulting to their host's index page.

this is a reassurance type request. I am a little dissappointed with the clarity of my dv work (using a 3-400 pound camera) it is not movie quality - is that to be expected ? what sort of money do you need to spend to get tv / movie quality output ? David

In message , Dariusz writes Anyone have this camera and think the sound that the built-in microphone records is REALLY low in volume (or is it just my camera)? When I comes to edit video, I have to raise the levels a lot on the cameras footage. Seems to be irrespective of zoom / normal mic mode. Also sounds quiet...

just bought a sony dcr - hc19e as a birthday present for a lad turning 16. he has an athlon 1800xp with 256 ram and a 7200hd. the system has usb2 and also firewire. we want to download off the camera - firewire - to PC and then burn to dvd. not interested in archiving back to tape, hence no dvd in I plan to upgrad the ram - 512 ok?

So, if I should have this irresistable desire to copy a DVD how would I go about it? -- Alan Reply to alan (dot) holmes27 (at) virgin (dot) net

To use my computer to transfer from video tape to DVD? And how would one go about it? -- Alan Reply to alan (dot) holmes27 (at) virgin (dot) net

I live in Spain. A lot of TV programmes from outside Spain are broadcast over the Dual/Nicam system, so on the main audio channel you hear the dubbed version in Spanish, and on the second channel you get the original version in English or French or whatever. I just watched an American programme - recording it at the same time - and listened to it in English over the Nicam channel. There was a...

Hi all, I am looking to buy 6 camcorders for school. 5 canons mv800 and maybe 1 of the the new mv880x which now offers widescreen.... Are these good ? is the wide screen worth it ?

hi all, i recently filmed a wedding and have been asked for extra copies. i am using nero and so far i have had 2 good ones and 6 failures. all the failures are happening at the disc lead-in point of burning with a "power calibration error" reported. any advice on whether this could be disc or pc problems.

can someone tell me where to find a simple, small-sized piece of software, so i can rotate (and save in this way) an mpg-movie clockwise? no other movie-editing tools necessary, just the rotating... thanks. Gil Bossuyt.

Audio specifications of MiniDV units are very hard to find on the net. Does anyone here know of a MiniDV camera (or a brand) which has stereo mic inputs? I'll be recording a music event in the near future and don't want to rely on built-in mics to do the job I want. Thanks!

Hi, Apologies if this has been covered before. I am trying to copy my miniDV tapes onto DVD using a standalone DVD recorder. I connect the two with an iLink cable. I've tried recording in 2 hour mode (i.e. 2 hours of video onto one disc) but I don't get good quality. I know that DV is much more data intensive (for want of a better term) than DVD so some compression and quality loss must...

Hi, When I make a (S)VCD movie using TMPGEnc to encode the Avi and Nero to burn, my DVD player (JVC XV-N33) most of the times only sees part of the movie (eg. my DVD player sees 36 minutes (and only plays this), while there are 52 minutes on CD). When I insert the CD in my PC, Media player sees the entire movie, and plays it flawlessly. I tried burning with the (S)VCD complient box in Nero...

Hi, I have started a temporary contract position with a small multimedia company. Although, my main area is Windows support, I am constantly bothered by people wanting spliced and diced audio and video files. Although I am not familiar with either area, the audio editing software is fairly intuitive and I have got by. I am afraid with video tools (Avid and Premiere), I am lost. I dont want to...

Hi all... I had the need to send some very large files across the internet the other day and found a very good site for doing this. www.sendthisfile.com

Hello in the first place sorry by my language but this is a translation of Google, my question is the following one, I hope to be able to explain it technically, I have a camera JVC DVL867EG, and am publishing video for a Web site of my town, can see it in www.ronda.ws, the question is that I am doing it in average Windows Media and to me if in QuickTime as of both consumes less resources? ...

Hi, I have a PIII 800MHz with 1GB memory and one IDE 40GB and one SCSI ultra 40GB and a DVD RW running XP Professional. I intend to use SCSI disk purely for the Conversion purposes. First of all is my PC spec OK or will I need a faster P4 machine for the job? Secondly can someone recommend me a fairly decent Video capture device (and software) I need to buy to get this project done? What sort of...

Mentioned this before --- not sure if there was a reply --- can not find a reply on my newsgroup server anyway - I am having a PROBLEM - When I capture from my sony via firewire card you can hear sound -- on the timeline you can see the sound has worked - but when I try to play back in the monitor -- NO sound at all - yet if I bring up the audio monitor you can see the lines moving up and...
