For example: When shooting video at a convention on behaf of a news/entertainment show would a videoographer need signed releases of every person who speaks on camera? Would the person need a release from the company who's booth your are video taping? I am looking for a website or a book that...

They look like a button. You take the top capsule off and you poke the back part of the lav through your clothing to connect back to the top part so you don't have to worry about hiding the wire. I know Coffey Sound is selling the pin lavs but I still have not heard them. How do they compare in...

They were getting all of the dialogue on Lectro 200 wireless with Sanken lavs. There were using a Sennhieser MKH60 for ambiance. I had a headset on and the audio sounded really good. I was amazed as it was outdoors on the beach with lots of noises from the city. The sound guy Kevin said that...

I was being a good DVXuser citizen and posted this non-lighting question in another forum.  I guess Walter Graff did not see it. http://www.dvxuser.com/cgi-bin/DVX2/YaBB.pl?board=Offtopic;action=display;num=1109304848

Ok, I am stumped.  How did you do that trick at the end of your Robert Ludlum commercial that is posted on your site? http://www.bluesky-web.com/

Why is a Dedo light better than an Arri fresnel? I know you can put the Dedo projector on an Arri. Is the Dedo better because it puts out more light for the size? I read on the Dedo site that it does not get as hot as other lights. Any advice?

I know someone posted about the type of pad I would need to add to the mini jack in order to make it match up with the 302 mixer but I cannot find the post. Can anyone help me out? thanks

I have a 503 head and I need to buy another head. I want to be able to take my cams off of one head and quickly place on another head. So if I have a 503 and have the Bogen quick release plate on my cam then can I only place that on other Bogen heads or does it fit on other heads like Sachlter...

As I understand it Apple and Avid both support this format already. Barry states that the bandwidth is about 4 times as much as HDV.   So what is it like to edit this format?  I would imagine you would need an extremeley fast machine, or does  Apple and/or Avid handle the footage in a way that...

I have one channel on my camera that is noisy.  I can hear what sounds like "static" on channel 1.  Channel 2 sounds pretty clean. My question is that if I use a mixer like the SD 302 and output to line level in Channel 1 will it most likely eliminate the noise of the preamp since  I have that...

I understand the function of a mixer but are there not hard disk recorders that also perform the vital functions that a mixer does? I see the Sound Devices HD recorders offer high pass filters, phantom power, and limiters so if these were the main reasons I would buy a mixer then is there any...

I need a good hypercardiod and this time I am going to buy a high quality mic. So I am looking at either Senn MKH 50 or a Schoeps with SCHOEPS MK41 cap.   I want to be able to plug it directly into the camera XLRs when I need to travel light. Do I need to use a mixer to get the benefits of...

I have an Intel 3.2 and the CPU usage meter never gets over 60% even when I am rendering a long video. You guys get similar results? Is there a way to get Vegas to use the full power of my CPU so my renders are faster?

No matter what settings I try my mov files always end up 4:3 when exported out of Vegas. My wmv files always display 16:9 so what is the trick to get mov files to display properly?
