Is it recommended to remove the tape and battery from a camcorder when it is not being used for a few days? I can find no reference to this in the manual of a recently purchased Panasonic camcorder. Scott Jones

I've just been told about a new Sony camcorder, the DCR-TVR50, selling at about £1000 (no doubt that will come down). It's being promoted as being a replacement for the TRV30 (which I've had for about three years) - they stopped the TRV30 production when the TRV60 and TRV80 hit the streets a couple of years ago. Looks like they've ditched the bloody awful touch screen and gone back to the...

A while ago I saw some LCD screen protectors for sale, but I can't recall where. Anyone know where you can get these. They are small sheets of low-tack clear plastic, designed to protect touch-screens (especially if a stylus is used). -- Tony Morgan http://www.camcord.info

hi, does anyone have any experience of capturing the video output from a PC (from the 15pin D-sub port - i.e. monitor output)? I'm in need of a device that will allow me to capture this video as progressive scan / edit it / and then export as progressive uncompressed ..AVI (all at 60Hz 29.97fps). The resolution of the video source is less than 640x480. I was thinking of Avid Xpress Pro HD (with...

Hi there. I have a bunch of DVD training that I would like to recode so that I can put it on the HD to reference far more quickly than popping DVD's in and out. As most of the DVD training is a (more or less) static computer screenshot with a voice over I thought it would lend itself to a high compression with temporal codec very well. Can anyone recommend a codec for this purpose or have...

Folks, The prices of cameras seems much cheaper in the US. I am thinking of a panasonic gs120. I have a sister in the US who would be happy to have it deleivered ot het, and then forward it on to me as a "gift". I am trying to think of the pitfalls - so far the power supply and (possibly?) guarantee comne to mind.

Does anybody shoot for HDTV? Are you using a special DV tape or anything else except camcorder itself? How large is the one-hour AVI file received from this tape comparing to 14 gbytes from usual DV? What camcorders are you using? I'm just wondering...) Dmitri.

I want to record/replay Freeview TV but also keep/edit a small no of these recordings (+ some old VHS tapes ) before making up new DVD's for playing on the TV. At present I have no equipment to any of this but think it would be best to use my PC for the editing phase Ideally I would like to record using a HDD in a freeview box and then connect this to the PC directly for the feed but is this...

I've just bought my first camcorder (on eBay). It's a Panasonic NV-GS5B, which looks to have the sort of features I'm after (in the main, PAL, DV-in, mic-in, various manual overrides). It should arrive next week. What are folks' opnions on this unit? A mate has the GS3, and that seems pretty good to my newbie's eye - enough to influence my decision in going for the GS5. (I paid 180 quid +post,...

Hi, I have a Panasonic NV-DS55B camcorder that has developed a slight fault, when you load tapes every now-and-then it spins the reel fast, beeps a few times and then ejects the tape, although this is an intermittent fault it always happens at that critical moment! I decided to buy a new camcorder and went for the Canon MV750i, first I couldn't believe how cheap camcorders are these days,...

My sister-in-law (who has many video tapes) recently decided to purchase a Bush VCR/DVD recorder combo, her logic being that she could then copy all of her existing video collection onto a shiny new DVD's, thus solving her storage problems. However it wasn't to be, as every time she inserts a pre-recorded tape in an attempt to produce a DVD back up, a pop up message appears telling her that this...

Are there any good links to download sample video ? Would somone who has this camera be able to make a sample of DV available on emule or somthing like that ? Oh, I saw that clip on dvspot already, but it seems strange that I can't find any other sample clips :( Simon

Hi all, Can some one tell me the different mpeg levels and the qualities they produce. At the moment I am transferring my movies from my JVCDX77 and the quality doesn't look too good. The movie size is 320 by 240. When I convert the movies to VCD 1 using Nero 6 on a friends computer(I only have a CDRW at the moment cant afford a DVD writer yet) and play back on my DVD player I get a blocky...
