Hi, folks. I'm trying to put a second HDD onto the second IDE channel of a Dell 2400. The CDR that's already there on "cable select" reports UDMA2 before installation. When the HDD is installed as device 0, the CDR goes down to PIO only and the HDD to UDMA2. If I disconnect the CDR the HDD works at its proper UDMA5 setting. I've tried a different optical device, two 80-wire IDE cables and all...

Sorry this is rather OT, although it's not altogether irrelevant to digital video. A friend has raised the issue of digital audio recording onto something pocket-sized, with a fast copy back to PC ready for recording to CD. The aim is to record choir practices and be able to edit these down quickly to play on a stereo system (eg for learning while driving). The original idea was to use a...

can anyone recommend a device to go from video composite to PC? at a resonable cost (bearing in mind high quality) Are we looking at a graphic card?other card? or external box?

I am searching for a source of information detailing the capacities and running times of programmes burned to CD and DVD using all the amazing variety of compression systems, file formats, codecs, screen sizes, display players (Real, WMP, Quicktime), and the optional settings and variations of each.of these. And it would be great if recommendations for quality were also given. Does such a...

Good day. I am making some dvd's for Australia . Should I use DVD -R ? Thanks Harold Johannesburg, South Africa

Has anyone tried to use a Miranda DV Bridge with Pinnacle Studio 9. Neither product refers to the other in their compatability lists, clearly because one is a sub-£100 piece of software and the other is top notch encoder and if you can afford a DV Bridge you'd buy some decent NLE software right!? Well I've got Studio 9 and can borrow a DV Bridge but I need to know it'll work before I hire...

Narrowed my choice down to either Panasonic NV-GS35B (single CCD) or NV-GS75B (3CCD,no DV-in) or NV-GS150B (3CCD,DV-in). Price difference between 35B and 150B is £200. So a couple or more questions for all the experts, before I spend my hard-earned: (1) Do I really need DV-in if I'll be editing movies on my computer, and using my DVD burner to create DVDs of the end result? Do I really need...

I use Unphuck for trimming mp3's, and I would like a similar tool to trim video files that just trims and doesn't re-compress the file. It's quicker and maintaing the file quality since it doesn't re-render the movie file. It works just like digital scissors. I also posted to "rec.video" and so did Giovanni as quoted below:

Good day. I have been having a lot of problems using My Dvd 5.2 deluxe. Once I have installed it works fine and I am able to create a dvd. However the next time I open the prog., again I get a error message saying "sonic myDVD has encountered a problem and needs to close,, We are sorry .,..... etc etc" Then I un-install and re-install together with the motion style's package .. and the same...

Hello, I've downloaded some ASF files from my Canon Optima 300 DV camera to my computer, but am unable to play them. The Canon manual states that Windows Media Player (WMP) will automatically download the necessary codec on first attempt to play a video. I have only been "partially successful," though; WMP launches IE and gives me a message that it is downloading the codec. But then I get a...

I'm trying to use Camtasia Recorder and adobe premier pro 1.5 together but having a problem. I make a full screen capture recording with camtasia and it works as a full screen on playback. It also works as a full screen when played back in Windows Media Player. But if I import the camtasia avi into adobe premier pro it appears with a thick black border around the outside - as if the avi has been...

Im helping my father setup a computer, which most demanding tasks would be video editing in Pinnacle Studio 9 and MPEG2 encoding in general. I dont know that much about video editing, so i thought id ask for some tips here. As for the CPU/mobo, im tied between a P4 Prescott 540(3.2Ghz) w/ Abit AA8 DuraMax mboo and a AMD64(winchester core) 3200+ w/ A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard(its surprisingly...

Hello, I have an issue with encore's motion menu. When the menu is static the image quality is totally fine (including the static avi, photosop layers, text etc) However as soon as i render the motion menu and then preview the whole menu looks blurry and there is a significant drop in quality. However when i burn this onto dvd and try it on my dvd player the picture seems sharp.. this is not...

What is the best way to go from vhs to dvd? Any anyone recommend some hardware (at a reasonable cost - i.e home user) that would produce a reasonable quality output. (i.e at least as goods as VHS origional, and enhanced if possible) I have seen hardware solutions such as the advc300. If this the best way forward, or can a equivilent result be acheived via a imput card and software?

Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question but here goes: I have captured footage from a DV camera, edited it in Pinnacle 9.3 and burned it to a DVD. Now but rather than save/archive the edited AVI files from Pinnacle, can I now delete these on the assumption that if I want to re-use/re-edit the footage at a later date, there is an easy way to extract it from the DVD? ---

Hi all ! I am currently deciding whether or not and which harddrive storage to buy for "tapeless recording". Models I have found so far are - nNovia Quick Capture A2D (ca. 1000 USD) (= Laird "CapDiv", "DataVideo DV Data Bank") - Focus Firestore FS-4 (ca. 1200 USD)

Hi - can anyone help please - is there a card on the market which enables capture of S-video (or composite Hi8) - AND with firewire input ? I have lots of Analog video on Hi8 tapes which I want to edit on PC - so need a capture device. I'm planning to upgrade to digital camcorder, so will soon need firewire input. So I wondered if there is a one-card-does-all solution ?
