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 ?

Does anybody know a DVD recorder that features a DVI-D output? My plasma only has a DVI-D input. Failing that, does anybody know if it is possible to convert from HDMI to DVI-D? (Been looking at this lovely piece of Pioneer equipment http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/product_detail.jsp?product_id=9550&taxonomy_id=62-125). {Does anybody know of a better newsgroup to re-post this question...

Does anyone have experience with handheld stablisers? My main intended use is to do walk-throughs of ancient monuments, like stone circles and ruined castles. Flights would be fairly slow, mostly at a wide angle setting, and probably with a fair amount of 'looking around' - walk a bit, pan and tilt to look at a feature, walk a bit more. I'd also like to do 'walk-rounds' - a 360 degree flight...

Hi I purchased Pinnacle 9 overseas only to find that I cant seem to work with certain files (eg AVIs) with it. As it turns out, I think it has to do with the version being locked to NTSC (Nth American version), and my camcorder would have recorded in PAL (as used in home country). This is only my guess though. Any ideas to rectify this? Cheers

I want to transfer home video to DVD, but am not sure of the best way to do it...! Source tapes are VHS and Video 8 (from Sony Video 8 cam). I have a graphics card with DVI, but I assume I need some sort of analogue capture card, so I can download to the PC, from which I can edit and burn to DVD? I don't know if that's correct - it's all very confusing, so any help would be much...

My Philips VR 750 video cassette recorder has become confused. (Possibly due to a mains failure a few days ago.) It thinks it has a recording programmed for the future, and so continually turns itself off after a few minutes of in-activity from the tape transport. (So I can't use it for watching those TV channels not available to my older TV.) I've checked through the Menu item listing Timer...
