Hey guys, I'm looking to make my own cheap camera case to put my dvx100 and it's accessories into. I was strolling around a bunch of stores and I came across two cheap options to make my own diy camera case. It's rather I buy one of those 'Cooler Bags' that can keep your pop cans and drinks...

I have a really noob question but, I received an NDA from a potential investor and it asks for my companies name as well as the address to it's offices. Now, I don't have a company involved, I plan to but it's not registered yet. So I was wondering if it's ok to just put my name down instead and...

Hey guys, I have a quick question I'm hoping some of the experienced pro's in here can shed some light on. I'm working on a 5 minute short film and I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to put it into a number of different film festivals worldwide or to simply put it onto the internet on my...

When i capture video, there is a very small black border on the top and bottom of the screen, it's really strange. And if i export the video out, the entire image is covered by a black border. If i capture in premiere, the image looks perfectly fine, so i know theres just a problem with Avid...

Sorry to start up yet another thread about widescreen stuff. But, i've read through the forums and the net and couldnt find the answers to my questions. Some people on this forum asked the questions i had but never got a direct and clear answer. I just got my dvx100a and i've been testing it...

I'm doing some visual effects shots with the dvx. And its crucial to find out what the exact film back and focal length is of the camera. I'm not using the zoom functions or anything, i'm just using the normal/widest angle. How can i find out what the exact film back and focal length is on the...

The guy im going to buy it from says that he bought the camera a year ago and that it has over 300 hours on drum. Im buying it at a pretty decent price, but is it ok to buy the camera that already has 300hours on it? These are professional cameras and im guessing these cameras can handle that...
