Hi, I dropped my DVXuser 5600 battery and the case cracked to bits. The battery pack and chip seem fine. I tried contacting the email address where I purchased it, but got no repsonse, so is there any way to salvage a perfect battery that just needs the case? Thanks, Edward McCain

Hey gang, this may be a stupid question, but I have looked around and haven't found it asked here before - Is there a proper way to give credits? Is there a particular order in which credits are given and any musts or must-nots involved. I am just finishing up my first short which is intended...

I am setting up a new internal drive in my Mac DP G5 and will be creating a partition for use by Photoshop to increase performance. Do I need to create a separate partition for FCP in addition to the one for Photoshop or can the partition be shared without a performance hit (assuming I'm not...

I am capturing scenes from the movie I recently shot (my first using the DVX100A). I distinctly remember watching the time that was left on the tape and switching before the end, although it may have only had two or three minutes left according to the on-camera display. Now I'm really worried...

I have been capturing my clips using the Advanced Pulldown capture preset. For some reason, two of the clips (out of maybe 30) have a vid rate of 29.97 instead of 23.98. I can't figure out what is wrong. I've tried re-capturing with no luck. Is there another workaround to get them to 23.98...

Using FCP HD 4.5, I captured using the Preset for Anamorphic (DV NTSC 48 kHz Anamorphic), but now I am realizing that this preset is not for 24AP, which is what I shot at. I am now thinking that I need to create a new custom preset by duplicating the existing one (DV NTSC 48 kHz Advanced 2:3:3:2...

I am planning a shot (TOMORROW) that includes a time-lapse of a couple moving into a house, showing the progression of all the stuff they move in a few seconds. What would be the best Rec Time and Interval Time to do this? Anyone with experience along these lines? Thanks, Edward McCain Dura...

I am about to film my first short movie on a DVX100A and want to make sure I don't have problems with using the film for festivals and promotions in the future. Does anyone know of a good source for contracts for actors (non-SAG) and crew? I found this site...

I called Rush at EVS in LA today and was shocked to learn that they don't rent to anyone outside of LA. I was counting on renting a follow focus unit and matte box for a film and I'm shooting a week from tomorrow, so I gotta move fast. Are there any good rental places in LA or elsewhere that...

I am getting prepared for my first short film using the DVX100A. It appears from other posts that there is no way to sync sound (almost all dialogue) that is recorded to an external recording device. I would like to be able to record both to the DVX100A and to my Mac G4 laptop, but I'm unsure of...
