Having burnt my first effort of camcorder to vcd (using Roxio Easy Media Creator 7) I have created separate 2 "titles" on the main menu, each of which contain a series of clips. Problem is when I play on my DVD player, only the first title will play, and I can't navigate to, or play, the second title. This second title never becomes active or highlighted Anyone else using this software, or...

****ED-OFF I've just been outbid in the last few seconds on Ebay for a brand new Sony TRV-HC85E that went for £470 :-( /****ED OFF -- Tony Morgan http://www.camcord.info

After much deliberation and then following Tony's advice, I got a new Sony HC40E due to arrive early next week :-))) Q: Will I be able to convert my 10 year old VHS C to DV, w/the "DV in" feature? Found this thread that suggests VHS C can be quite easily be converted to DV: http://www.camcorderinfo.com/bbs/t110540.html

Any recommendations for a monopod? Must function in cold conditions, down to -20C, and therefore must have nice big levers for the adjustments that can be operated with gloves on. Would like to avoid metal because my gloves would probably stick to it in those conditions.

Hi everyone, I am new in video and I am looking for a camera with 3ccd to start with (because of picture quality). I know that they are relatively expensive so I am looking for the cheapest. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Ivan

I have a Samsung digital video cam with firewire output. I just purchased a DVD burner. What is the best way to capture the video using XP and preferably free software to capture the video and make it playable on home DVD players ? I have made a few clips to my HD using XP movie maker but it saves it as wmv and I do believe it needs to be in mpg format to create a dvd ? Any help would be...

I have all of the video of my kids on my PC as AVI files - all 25 hours of it!! I would like to make a "backup" to DVD. I will accept the loss in quality by going to MPEG2 because of the reduction in size of the images. eg; about one DVD per hour. (That is right isn't it?) Is there a good encoding program to let me convert all the files in a batch operation? eg; let it run overnight etc to...

Can anyone please help me. I've used 3ccd cameras, but have never used single ccd ones, and I'm looking to buy one for home, to try out and learn more on. Does anyone know the cheapest, but ok camcorder that does widescreen (or some form of cropping the picture for widescreen) and has a mic input? When I look at the specifications it's difficult to know which do widescreen, some mention it, and...

I'm about to buy my first flat panel screen for a video editing PC and wondered if anyone had any views on the ideal spec but for a reasonable price. -- John Bornholt

I have a Bush VCR that happily plays back NTSC tapes on my Bush 6690D idtv, it senses that they are NTSC automatically. The devices are connected via a scart lead. I recently bought a Canon MV700i digital camcorder and thought it worth trying to copy my old NTSC tapes to dv minitapes via the camcorder. I plugged a scart-to-3-RCA adapter in the VCR and connected up the camcorder with the stereo...

Which mainboards are better suited to video editing and other graphics intensive stuff like high end games? TIA

I'm in the process of editing some video I shot recently in Lapland, however due to the strange light and snow conditions over there a few of the scenes have an obvious cast on them - some pinkish and some bluish. I'm using Ulead VideoStudio to do the editing which has colour correction filters and from my early experiments, a yellow filter seems to help correct the blue tint and a green...

I've recently bought a Bush DVDHS02 combined VHS/DVD recorder (from Makro, UK) and so far I've found some problems on it. 1: I set the machine to copy from a tape to a +RW disc, filling up the disc. (There's no way to program a tape-to-disc copy for a certain time or to an index point on the tape or anything like that, so the only alternative is to wait around and stop the machine manually...

Hi Guys, Having used the 'Light' versions of authoring software since I got my dvd writer drive, I now find having recoprded and edited my first small production in 16:9 aspect that my software will not write in that aspect ratio. Can anyone suggest reasonable priced software that will allow both 16:9 format but chaptering and menus etc. Thanks

Sorry if this is OT, but I can't see where else to ask. Can anyone say what protocol fuji use for their s5500 digital camera please -- is it USB mass storage? I'm after a new camera, but want one with an open protocol. Oh, if anyone can suggest a better still camera in the price range, I'd be interested! Many thanks.

Hi All, I bought the JVC DX77 in the sales and have found it to be a really good camcorder. However, I am having problems with the provided software. ImageMixer7.1 works on my XP machine (450MHz PII, no firewire). I connect using the USB port and it picks up the camcorder and editing is not very good, but it works. When I connect the camcorder to my faster machine (win 2000, 1.2 GHz, PIII,...

Folks, I am a complete newbie - I have never owned a camcorder, and have only used one twice. I am thinking of getting one in the Jan sales. Its primarliy to take family footage: kids, hols etc. Maybe other stuff if I get any good with it. I need something good quality and easy to use. An easy PC link is vital.
