My trusty Sony TRV730e Digital8 camcorder has just started to play up. The picture is divided by several thick black horizontal bands and the sound drops in/out continuously. I've run a head-cleaning tape through but this has had no effect. The problem occurs on both the just-recorded and older tapes. What could be the reason please? Is an economic repair likely to be possible?

I'm using DVD+RW in my computer and in the videorecorder connected to the TV. The discs I use on the computer cannot be read, formatted or erased on the DVD Recorder. However, videos created on the computer can be read by the DVD Recorder. How can I get the DVD Recorder to use DVDdiscs used by the computer? Can I format thes RW+ discs somehow? Thanks and regrds Fadel

I note that there's now a choice of compact DVD players (around 7" screen size), and have wondered whether to get one so that I can play back my "video masterpieces" g, when away from base. Was told today that they all have an AV In socket, and on the one I examined it was a 3.5mm co-axial. Does anyone know who supplies suitable cables i.e. 3.5 to 3.5mm. I don't particularly want to use two...

Does any one know of a DVD burning programme which actually incorporates a visual adjustable audio level meter? As the two programmes I use that were supplied free with a USB DVD maker (so I can't really complain) both rely on the Windows in-built volume controls, which I have found to be a bit of a hit and miss procedure, sometimes producing anything from barely none to grossly over modulated...

Little annoying problem, any ideas how to rectify? Using Toshiba TV, Telewest digi box, running through sanyo vcr. for example, we are watching sky news, which is 602 on our tv. i now want to record ITV, on the terrestrial system, ie, through aerial, selecting channel 3 on video, brings in channel 9, back to whatever we are waching, on telewest. ie, channel 3 in video is channel 9.

Question as subject line.

Hi I'm looking for an LCD TV with built-in DVD player - Pref around 21" - I know DMTech do one but the main drawback is, I would really like one that has a resume mode so the dvd's don't start from the beginning each time Anyone out there recommend any models?

Hi, I've finally bought my first digital camera and want some software to manage all the images on my harddrive. Which would you all recommend? thanks Ian

I know DMTech do one - but the dvd doesn't seem to support resume mode - so the movie always starts from the beginning which is a pain - looking for suggestions - size around 20" plus thanks

Hi, After editing on PC the raw minidv footage, what is the best media to store the edited video on in terms of quality and robustness? thanks, Keith

Hi, Has anyone heard how good this is and particularly in FRANCE ? http://www.mediaatlantic.com/product.php/21914/0/ ta Nick

Hi All, I am trying to create a web page that lists free to use software that can be used for video editing. From capturing to burning to DVD\CD etc. To do this I require your help and experience. If you have used any software that is free (not eval software) and trustworthy (not containing spyware or virii(?)) then please can you let me know about your experiences and provide a...

Am I correct that to split an avi file (to cut off several blank hours of unattended capture) within Premiere Pro it can only be done by export/render operation? I did this to a 48GB file to cut it to 14GB of actual video but it takes a long time. My question is really asking why does Premiere not offer a quick way of doing this like I understand Videodub can do (which I have not...

Hi all, My digital camcorder has fried its firewire port, and I ended up with lots of video tapes, that were not transfered to DVD or PC yet. My broken camcorder is TRV-740 with 1.07 megapixel CCD. My question is: Do I get the full resolution of recorded material if I use for transfer some cheaper model with 0.54 megapixel CCD ? Best Regards PawelS

After some deliberation I have decided to opt for a MiniDV camcorder as opposed to the new DVD models. I have read about keeping a full quality MPEG-2 version of footage on my PC, as well as the compressed version which is ultimately burned to DVD for distribution, and generally reference is made to FireWire. If necessary, I will purchase a FireWire card, but is it not possible to transfer...

Which audio compression to I need to select when converting dvd to divx , I only have the option for "uncompressed pcm" is that the right one for reducing the file size the most ? (Using flaskmpeg)

My video card is an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro connected to two monitors. While Premiere Pro is running on my primary monitor I want to view the playback on my secondary monitor. I have the 9800 secondary set on "no extended desktop", clone and theatre full screen mode. Release notes for latest 5.6 Catalyst driver for my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro says: - New video preview. This provides real-time video...

Hello. I have found the Sony HC42 for a good price and found the HC42E for £10 more expensive. The shop says that the HC42 is the UK spec and as I live in the Uk I assume that is the right model to go for. Could somebody confirm that this is correct and that I should go for the HC42? Thanks,

Hi all...I know this is off topic, but given that the UK has had digital for longer that you blokes would have a pretty good idea about this. That is if everyones not to busy fielding the myriad of other on topic queries? *Tumbleweed blows by* Good...well I've been struggling with this one, and need some help.

Hi, I have a canon mvx330 connected to my WinXP PC using the Ilink/firewire port. After capturing the DV, I do not get any sound when playing back the captured video. I am using Movie Maker. Am I missing an audio codec? If so could you please let me know where i might obtain such a codec? thanks, keith
