Tony: You sent me a private email. My attempts to reply keep bouncing. I can't imagine why you would munge your address in private mail, but if you have, want to try again with a usable reply to: ?

Apologies if this is the wrong group - please redirect me. I have a Pacific (Asda cheapie) DVD player connected via SCART to my old Sony TV. It seems that I have a mains loop set up because I'm getting that nasty humming on audio. This doesn't seem to be specific to the particular cable or DVD player since I've experienced this before from another DVD player. So, any suggestions for tackling...

Hi there, I am sorry for the global email, just letting any interested parties know that I have put my excellent condition vx2000 up for sale on ebay. Great cam as I am sure you all know, and has the Senheisser MKE300 mike and other bits and bobs. The link below will take you to the auction, though I am selling to finance a new car so will consider offers and end the auction early. Any...

Hi all I was able to try out my new camcorder this weekend & i am really pleased with the results. I visited "The Deep" in Hull & went to the east coast afterwards. I took loads of footage & made good use of it's still shots too. I viewed the results when i got home & the quality is amazing. My 5 megapixel true resolution camera i have had for ages is rubbish compared to the 2 megapixel still...

I have a Sony MiniDV, and it works... sort of. I need help tho. When I plug my TiVo in, and then run out from Camera to PC (via USB2.0) Moviemaker can see and record the stream. But Moviemaker doesn't do DVD, I don't think. Just vcd. If I try to use other programs (WinDV, I think, and Sonic that came with the Dell) and try to capture, it doesn't recognize any video source.

Hi. I'm trying to find out how to change the blanking on video line 20 in a DVW-A500 digital betacam VTR. I know how to do it on a BVW-75, on the TBC9 board, but can't find any reference in either the operation or maintenance manual on the A500. Any ideas about where to find this info would be appreciated. Thanks. Rich Feather/Ventana Productions

Hi Just getting to grips with the above and have a couple of questions: I have recorded some DV to the pc using the medium quality setting (recommended), but the quaity is pixelated on full screen. After editing etc does the pc refer back to the original on the camcorder or is all the footage recorded to the pc. What quality setting should be used for the final movie. It will be burned to a...

The bayonet and 52 mm range of lenses for the VX1000 seem to have been removed from most (uk) stock lists. I see Keene do Kenko and Hama 52 and 58 mm lenses but have always been wary of those brand names as being cheap and cheerful. I may be wrong. The alternative is Sony or Canon but in 58mm with step down ring and at a much higher cost that the older 52mm offerings. Century Optics are over my...

Hi All, What is the best editing and compressing software now? I downloaded from my camera a DV stream as AVI file, about 13.5 GBytes for one hour, 720x480x30. The Movie Maker from Microsoft built in the WinXP-Pro can read this stream, but, very often if can't turn on the sound when it shows the parts. Sometimes it dies by some internal error in the middle of job.

Greetings. I recently had to reformat my hard drive and install everything from scratch due to deteriorating PC performance. Everything works fine apart from my video editing. I installed Pinnacle Studio 7 and the IEEE card that came with it and received no errors during installation; the card appears fine when I look at it through the System settings.

I'm after a standalone dvd recorder and have narrowed the choices down to 2. They are the Pioneer DVR 3100 and the Toshiba DR1. Prices are similar at £280 but the Pioneer has a firewire port. I have a Canon MV500i and plan on using this feature to transfer tapes to dvd. I also notice that the Tosh has a DV input. Would this do the same job as the firewire on the Pioneer?

I had decided to purchase the above mentioned model of JVC camera when I read one report that mentioned about it's 'infamous' tape chewing problems. The reviewer wrote that 'they had experienced the problem as was often mentioned in the forums'. I have scoured the forums i know of but have never seen this problem mentioned. Is it a problem for this model or just a bunch of sour grapes??? RGB...

Is the activation of the encoder on some sort of time limit ? I have suddenly lost the use of it with out phoning or going on-line.

I bought new JVC camcorder (GR-D33) two weeks ago. I noticed that a motor noise (it sound like a metal TIK..TIK..TIK ) is recorded when recording in quiet rooms. Does someone have the same problem? Is it normal for this model? Thanks.

It's a charachteristic of Pinnacle that the view in the preview window looks darker than on your camera. When the project is complete and burned to disc or returned to tape, it will be ok.

When a modern UK TV says that it can handle an NTSC signal, does it really mean a pure US NTSC signal or is it actually a PAL60 output from, say, a VCR?
