So I received my new tripod today, and I've been playing around with it. Now, I don't know tripod terminology, so I hear I go.. making an ass out of myself. I was loosening a knob on the head, and before I knew it, what seemed like a million little parts came flying to the ground along with the...

So, my new Manfrotto tripod came in the mail today (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=217268&is=REG) and I've encountered a problem. It seems as if one of the screws on the head is too large for my dvx. The two holes on the bottom of the dvx are the...

I'm trying to sell off my Desktop G4 so I can pick up a powerbook. It's a dual 867ghz G4, bought brand new from Apple almost two years ago or so. It's loaded with a superdrive, 512mb of ram, and 2 harddrives (100+80) Also, a 15" SYS monitor and Apple speakers. I don't know what other specs to...

So I've decided to buy a new tripod for my dvx. I have no idea what to buy. All I know is, I want a bogen/manfrotto with a fluid head. A friend of mine advised me not to spend more than $250 on a tripod, if it's only going to be used with a dvx. And honestly, I have no more than $300 to spend. I...

I know this isn't exactly the right place to post this, but the screenwriting section of this board doesn't seem to get any visitors. Anyways, I wrote a short story for a creative writing class I am taking, and I am so in love with the story that I am going to turn it into a screenplay. Here's...

Ok, I have been messing with the scene settings in 24p mode, and I'm not exactly sure what all of the different settins mean... Can someone help me out? Here is what I'm using right now... DETAIL LEVEL -4 V DETAIL LEVEL 0 DETAIL CORING 0 CHROMA LEVEL -3 CHROMA PHASE 0 COLOR TEMP -3 MASTER PED 0...

I am working on a documentary, and I'd like to capture all of the footage from each tape. Only problem is, this takes up about 40 gigs of space per tape, which isn't going to work for me. How can I capture footage compressed, then export it back to tape full quality? Anyone know? Thanks!

I'm shooting a band tonight at this crappy venue down south. I only have 1 dvx100 to work with, so I figure I'll just change angles in the middle of songs and whatnot. I wish I had a few of these cameras, so I could have 3 angles, and cut between them in the editing room. But that isn't an...

Hey everybody. I'm new to the forum, so let me introduce myself. My name is Rob Brown, I'm 19 years old and I've been heavily into filmmaking for several years. I finally saved up enough cash and bought an ag-dvx100a today. And I love it! I went out shooting tonight and came home with great...
