Hi all What would cause a downloaded WMV video clip to play OK the first time but when it is played again the video stutters but the sound is OK , the file is played in Windows media player, Thanks Dale

I have a Sony TRV20E with an intermitent problem. The camcorder stops working when you turn it on and one the error codes... C:31:30 or C:32:30

Hello. I'm looking for getting the VX-2000E (or PD-150) camera from second hand. Could you provide me with some links to pages with advertisements or any useful information where I could find such a camera? (London area) Unfortunately, Ebay has currently only one auction on VX-2000.

Hi All, I have a Sony CCD-SC55E Hi8 Handycam which is no longer needed. Just wondering if it is worth trying to sell it. The camera is in full working order and like new condition. It would come complete with Miranda case\bag, instructions, remote control and the relevant leads etc. So, question is, what do you think this is worth (if anything at all)? The

Just did a channel update for my two Freeview boxes. My Nokia found Channel 14, "More4" ok, but new Sagem box did not. I booted the Sagem and did another re-store, but no dice. Both boxes from the same aerial. Anybody else with a Sagem had the same problem?.

Hi at work they have a canon camera and premier detects the scenes perfectly. But my more expensive Sony does not seem to be compatible - anyone else find this ? David

DVD player has HDMI and projector also has HDMI. Which setting should give the highest 'quality'?

Hi. I've got a shuttle barebone which offers RAID function. I have one Maxtor Diamond 10 with NCQ inside, which works great. But I am curious wether it would accelerate the performance a lot if I'd add a second HDD to make it a RAID or is the videoperformance depending more on the graphics card? I am a video editor, I use Combustion and Vegas Video. Securing the data would be a nice...

Anyone who knows how to make a CANON MVX45i record well in shaded and dark areas? I just bought it and trusted the stick on the box that says that it had night mode and supernight mode but but it produces nothing but crap after the sun goes down no matter what settings I try. It looks like it's a piece of fraud from Canon that it should be able to perform anything in shaded areas. It does...

Please can anyone point me to some websites where I can purchase a new Canon XM2 at a keen price? Thanks.

Im looking for a cheapish camcorder which is in line with the following: 1) Small 2) Lightweight 3) Decent ish image quality (I have a 3.2mp camera that can do video, it needs to be better than this) 4) No requirement for photos - I have the camera for that! 5) Pretty good in poor light - want to do a lot of woodland filming As an added bonus, on a maybe more expensive camera;

Looking for a open source digital signage forum

No doubt everyone has their favourite tape but nevertheless what is the suggested 'best' tape? Is there really much difference between one brand and another? I'm sorry if this has been done to death previously but I've been unable to find anything helpful. Thanks.

When I was on holiday recently in San Francisco I was accosted by a salesperson who dragged me into his shop and proceeded to show me how a replacement lens would improve the camera. The lens appeared to be wide angled and definitely improved the quality of the camera. He told me that the current lens on the camera was very good and Panasonic did not provide as good a lens now. He started...

For a couple of years I've been making on-board videos from racing cars using a Canon 600i MiniDV. I record about 30 mins of racing at a time and I store the final videos (edited to about 15 min) on a MiniDV tape as 4GB avi files. The picture source is a remote (bullet) camera connected to the AVin on the Canon. As the Canon is showing its age a bit, I have thought about replacing it with a...

I am interested in buying a used Digital8 handycam instead of a new or used miniDV camera. Points I have noted a Pros: 60minute recording, x25 optical zoom (I would use to x8), DV in/out, Firewire with S-video pass-through. Cons: much heavier, B&W low res optical viewfinder, 2.5" (small?) lcd viewfinder, is it an obsolete format?

Some time ago I created some .avi files using the Data Translation 'Broadway' capture card and software. Now I no longer use Broadway but have changed to Studio9 with the Pinnacle av/dv capture card. I now wish to edit some files which were created with the Broadway system but find that the .avi files are not recognised by Studio. This is presumably because the Broadway codec is no longer...
