If I have a mini DV camcorder and shoot some film and record the audio separately, say onto a portable MiniDisc unit or a portable MP3 recorder in conjunction with a separate microphone - am I likely to encounter any problems with synchronisation? I know with tape you can get fluctuations in the speed the tape actually runs, etc, but what is digital tape like for this? Is it exact or are...

Hi, have just finished recording on above, and am trying to transfer over to pc, I dont have the instruction book (its my daughters) and justcannot see where to put the usb cable in! I charged it last night and found the socket ok, I would like to use it again today so need to transfer! tia -- Please put Sheila in the subject line when you email me.

I was wandering if someone with this camcorder could make some sample video available on emule or some other file sharing network ? Quite interested to see what it's capable of to see if it's worth upgrading my gs70. The image stabilisation is the main thing that interests me really. Cheers, Simon

The Canon is around 150 EUR more (We know it might not work on a UK TV, that's not an issue as we live in Belgium ). The question we have is that on features they seem about equal, except that the JVC only has a 10X zoom. Is a longer zoom (considering optical only, of course) practical anyway? We're only occasional users so we don't need a top of the range model, but we're prepared to pay...

I'm trying to capture video to an avi file from a digital video camera. Does anyone have a suggestion for a codec that provides minimal compression with sharp images? Uncompressed won't work, because the filesize is too large, but 10-15 gigabytes for an hour of video wouldn't be unreasonable. I've tried divx and MS MPEG-4, but they seem to have some trouble with blurring around the edges. The...

When I connect my Panasonic GS220 to a television, I only get a black and white picture. I'm using the s-video and audio cables supplied with the camera and have connected as described in the manual via a scart adapter. Since the manual is deficient in this (and other) areas, it isn't clear which of the 3 connectors in the audio cable go where in the scart adapter. So I have swapped...

Please can someone advise on the Panasonic E95 with 160Gb harddrive. I bought this in Tottenham Court Road in London for £399 (discounted from £800 !!!). Hmm - I wondered why. Aha - now I've found out. You can't get the Panasonic DVD-R and DVD-RAM discs!! I trawled the entire length of TCR and no-one had any - none - zero - zilch. And Panasonic advise on not using any other manufacturers. The...

Pro 3CCD Camcorder complete with manuals etc...plus 4x3300mAh batteries, mic holder, skylight filter, wide & tele lens adapters, sealtight case. (rrp£3000) A fantastic bit of kit - have to sell as upgrading. ONLY 25 Hrs on drum offers around £1650.

Looking to purchase a digital camcorder, not too bothered about still image capturing. Main requirements a 1: Excellent video quality(obviously) 2: Best available indoor video quality(tried a Canon MV6i & very disappointed against my Old sony Hi8 brick) 3: quite compact 4: reliable 5: not too bothered about the bells n whistles, probably only point & shoot, but if they come with the video...

Hi folks, I'm a student wanting to start practising video production and editing, and I'm looking to pick up a second hand prosumer miniDV cam. Best bet at the moments looks like the Panasonic AG-DVX100 (non 'A'). Does anyone have any suggestions about good places to keep an eye out for this kind of second hand kit? Obviously eBay, warnings notwithstanding; are there any good dealers (though...

I'm mucking about with the demo of DVD Lab, trying to get 16:9 output from ES4.1.4 on to disc. That I can do, to an extent. I've set up the menu, linked it all together, and compiled the DVD, which plays correctly on my PC with WinDVD6. The VOBs also play correctly with BSPlayer. When I burn the DVD it plays correctly in my PC under WinDVD, but on the TV both the menus and the video are...

Hi Dvers Simple Question Are all mini DV tapes compatible with each other? I had my Sony TRV50E Mini DV stolen in Barcelona. I now have the Insurance money. Do I have to buy a Sony to make sure my old Sony recorded Mini DV tapes still work.

More or less : Open video file, find desired frame. Hit Ctrl+1 (or menu : Video - Copy source frame to clipboard) Paste into for further editing (which you'll almost certainly have to do) and then Save-As JPEG from your art package. Cheers - Neil On Wed, 13 Apr 2005 08:17:40 +0100, Mark

I have the Sony DCR-HC1000 and find that the wind noise is worse than my older sony analog. Is there an easy fix for this such as an external mike? Dean

Hi folks, I'm in the process of setting up an Endless Pool for commercial use (swim coaching). I plan to use three cameras to record customers as they swim - two underwater and one overhead. I want the cameras to feed into a DVD recorder so that (a) their efforts can be recorded in real time, (b) I can immediately play back to them (either on a large screen TV or projecting onto a white...

I'm running short of money so as a result I'm having to sell my CD Collection and all of my Console games on eBay! http://stores.ebay.co.uk/CaddyShack-UK

Hi, A friend of mine is using vegas 5 for editing his DV tapes. He is capturing the video, editing and then (hopefully!) printing back to DV tape. He has a problem: during the print to tape step, vegas creates a large pre-render file under C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Sony\Vegas\5\ (or something like that). Unfortunately, he does not have much space on his C partition and it...

I am now using Ulead MovieStudio 8.0 SE DVD to edit my movies, but I can't seem to find an option for rotating clips. My camera (digital camera) gives me mpeg1 files (640x480 30fps). Will I have to do the rotating in VirtualDub and at the same time convert the files to .avi, or is there some other clever way of doing it? Thanks for the help Rusty Norway
