....but it would be quite hard to get a colour profile from it. http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/HOLOSC.htm

Has anyone used Bluetooth with a camcorder that's Bluetooth enabled? -- Tony Morgan http://www.camcord.info

For no particular reason (other than creating the next Hollywood blockbuster single-handed), I was wondering how to go about doing a bluescreen thingy, such that I can superimpose something onto a water scene. I have a blue screen (roller blind, which seems to work), and a toy (ahem, *model*) Stingray. I also have some footage of a local loch. I'd like to, if possible, make it look as if...

I have been looking for a new camcorder; I quite like the sony HC90 which strongly features 'true widescreen' as its major selling feature (to me), but I have since found out that the new 3ccd panasonic cameras may be cheaper. My question is simple (!) Do the new 3ccd panasonic cameras offer a real increase in quality over single ccd, and if so what is the real problem with not having true...

I have two hard drives, let's call them HD1 and HD2. My OS, WinXP is on HD1, as is Pinnacle 9. Now, I know it's better to import the video files from my camcorder to one or t'other of Hd1 or HD2, and during a Pinaccle render to output the files to one or t'other. Which config is the best away around please? -- Bryan Bellis.

What would folks recommend for lens cleaning materials? In my still photography days, I used a blower brush which had a slide-up capped protector to keep the bristles in good condition, along with a soft cloth and a bottle of Kodak lens cleaner. A look around Jessops didn't reveal a blower brush that I thought was any good - just a nastly little thing with exposed bristles for 4 quid. They also...

Been looking for an external shock mounted mic and found this one for £89 at http://www.hhb.co.uk/hhb/uk/products/detail.asp?ID=1901. There is a very good detailed review of this mic at http://www.sundancemediagroup.com/articles/Rode_VideoMic.htm . Thought I would post a message about it here for anyone doing a google search on camcorder external microphone.

Hi, I'm new to all this having never owned a camcorder. I'm wanting to do two things: 1 - make dvds of my newborn son for relatives. 2 - record live bands in dark/loud venues (a reasonable sound/picture, doesn't have to be cd quality!). Any advice for a good quality camera for 1000 pounds that could do both? I've read http://camcord.info/buying/ so will go with minidv, just not

Anyone got any experience good or bad about these. I'm looking to get something to suit a Sony VX2000 that can take more than 1 mic at a time. Obviously it has to be portable. Can anyone make recommendations of which type, etc. Don't need top of range pro gear but don't want cheap crap either. Thanks for any input.

When capturing footage from my Panasonic NVGS120 onto VideoStudio 8, I periodically get a message 'flushing DV transcode buffer'. This suspends the capture process and causes a few frames to be missed when the capture process is restarted. What do I need to do to stop this happening?

After asking for advice on this news group about up-dating my computer on a limited budget (£200) I opted for the one suggested by 'Andy' and wound up with a Asus K8N motherboard, 512MB of Crucial memory, an AMD Sempron 2800 processor, 160 gigabyte Maxtor hard drive and a 450 watt power supply. Unfortunately as that was a total sum of my budget gone, for now at least I'll have to stick with my...

Using Premiere 6.5 and DVDit to make a DVD+RW dis, I got the message: data exceeded multiplexable bit rate. What can be done to solve this problem? Thanks and regards Fadel

I've just downloaded all of this newsgroup from news.indvidual.net, 900+ messages starting January 30, and have been through them. I can't see anything like a FAQ, is there one I've missed? Or should I just go ahead and post my query anyway? Chris C

Come on guys and help me out. I am looking to pay around £500 discounted price for a camcorder and am having real problems finding the right model. The camcorder I require must have true widescreen and take a decent picture inside the house. For a start even though widescreen TV's have been out years there doesn't seem to be many camcorders that shoot in true widescreen. I have short listed...

Hi Videoers I was homing in on PANASONIC NV-GS250 also known as NVGS250B as a mini DV camcorder. But now I am leaning towards the PANASONIC Camcorder NV-GS400 But I have been put off PANASONIC by forum reports of problems connecting to PCs. What Mid range Camcorder if any is the best bet. I have doubts about Sony, JVC, & Canon but they may be ok

I did an OS wipe/reinstall and put my saved presets backs into the presets folder. I saw that I had to actually create a preset for the folder to be created and then saw that a weirdly named file was created at that time (something like "{}" with numbers and letters inside). I saved my presets to both the general presets file and then into that one with the funny name. They just don't show...

I must make space so my pristine collection of "What Video" and its variant titles must go. If anyone is interested, please email me on "admin at sterlingcomputer.co.uk"

Can anyone please help me to identify this camera please? It's entirely unbranded but within it's limitations performs very well indeed; I'm pretty sure that finding the exact right driver for it will improve the images still further. There's an image of it at http://www.chirgles.btinternet.co.uk/unbranded_camera.jpg Thank you!
