I was looking at the virtuoso mc-500 and am planning on buying it or something similar but I can't seem to find whether it can play a DVD file system from a hard disk. Does anyone have any experience with this unit that could answer? Cheers.

Hi! The prices for DVD±RW Recorders now seem to be pretty low and I am thinking of adding one to my computer. I know that the burning speeds are still pretty poor at 16x and only 4x for +RW/-RW re-writing and DVD+R DL Double Layer burning, however that is okay to make do with for a year or so until the speeds increase. I can always leave my system working while I have a bath or watch TV.

I know there are several DV drivers out there for using the DV from a camcorder or such in webcam software, but I'd like to find a driver without the 'activation' bull**** that so many software companies are now using. This activation thing limits the driver to one computer which is a real **** off. I don't mind paying for a driver but does anyone know of a DV driver that doesn't need activation?

I'm thinking of buying this DV camcorder. Does anyone have any good or bad experiences with it or any advice regarding an alternative (better) model at about the same price of £350? Thanks Bob --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Looking at buying a Canon Pixma IP4000, and am particularly interested in quality of photo print, CD/DVD printing, and how good/useful the bottom tray is for loading A4 paper, as where I have intend to place the printer using a top loader would be difficult. I'd much appreciate comments from owners of this printer please. -- Bryan Bellis.

I have recently bought a new Toshiba RDXS32 DVD recorder & the remote control for this is also able to control the channel changing function of digiboxes. Now my Sky Digital box is the Pace DS430N but i have had no luck in obtaining a correct code for this. I have contacted both Pace & Toshiba who are unale to help & much searching the net has also drawn a blank. Anyone here who has the...

Hi, for some reason, any footage i download from the internet appears to have frames missing, and plays back flickering with black frames. If i play the clips in vlc player though the play back is fine. Also, clips i have captured myself via firewire are fine... any ideas?

Have just bought a DVD recorder and am having problems - wonder if anyone on any of these groups can help. Hitachi TV with two scart sockets Amstrad Sky Digibox with two scart sockets Liteon 5005 DVD Recorder with two scart sockets Sky seems to need to go into AV1 on TV as that is the best picture. DVD into AV2 is OK except for having to switch to AV2 manually due to type of scart lead...

In the UK context, which DV digital camcorder under £500 in worth considering for general recording, preferably under room light conditions? Is Samsung a good make say VP-D323? Many thanks in advance.

My son, for his college work, wants to have a short clip look like video being rewound with picture breakup reminiscent of older VHS players (modern VCRs seem to be able to REW/FF without the same loss of quality). Reversing the clip is no problem. Has anyone got any ideas about a filter/effect that might create the desired output? Using Premiere Pro 1.5.

Maybe I'm crazy. I tried to import the MPEG2 stream from VOB file using Sony Vegas Movie Studio 4.0. It was terribly slowly and finally I got MPG file with a little bit less size. When I tested this file I found that it doesn't have any audio stream. Funny. I imported the VOB file into Studio again and called the properties of this file. Only video stream, no audio at all. The next idea was...

In recent months i have seen a freeview box demonstrated on the QVC shopping channel. When they showed the channel menu it displayed UK Gold as one of them. As far as i am aware this STB was not also combined with whe ability for Top Up TV so therefore how did UK Gold appear in the listings when i cannot receive it here. Phil.

Hi, I have recently bought a Panasonic NV-GS11 Digital Camcorder and have noticed that when playing back into my PC over Firewire, I get some popping noises if there is a gap on the tape between recorded scenes. I do not get this problem if I play the tape over the same Firewire using a neighbour's camcorder (an earlier Panasonic model). Is this fairly normal, or is it likely that I can...

I have just ordered a Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo T which comes with a 256mb AtiRadeon 9600XT VIVO DVI and Pinnicle Studio 9SE & firewire. Now here is my problem. Yesterday while in Jessops I was told that I would not be able to copy my Hi8 video tapes direct from my Sony TRV46E direct into the PC without buying Pinnacle studio AV/DV V.9 for £129. Is he correct ? The camera has a A / V connecting...

I'm not happy with my current (dirt cheap) tripod (physically it's fine, but the platform doesn't sit level), and looking for a new one. I know nothing, really about tripods. I don't use one much, so I don't want to spend a lot of money. It needs to be something that works equally well with my digital camera (Nikon Coolpix 8700) as well as my Sony Handicam (DCR-HC20). At this point, I'm...
