Hi everybody. I'm having a real problem right now with some of my clips. I'm working in DV - NTSC 23,98 (footage from DVX100A) in FCP 6.0.5. The problem is that FCP (for two clips only... out of 40) seems to be reading the content of my quicktime file in a different timecode than the original...

I am looking to get the most out of the DVX100A footage I am going to work with in my next project (in terms of color and resolution). I will be color-correcting ALOT, which also means adding colors on the original footage, and will be displaying the final work on a DigiBeta tape. Barry Green...

Hi everyone! I am interested in hearing people's feedback about the Century Precision Optics VSL-CWS-DVX Wide Screen LCD Magnifier for the DVX. Is anybody here using it? How well is it working? Is it worth 240$? I was afraid that it would somehow distort the LCD image... while trying to make...

My question is of a very precise technical concern. I am interested in using the DVX-100A in my next project, but I am wondering what format would be the best for projection in theaters. Since my original source is on Mini-DV, I assumed at first that if I was outputting my stuff on Mini-DV for...

Hi everybody. A new tape from Panasonic came out in April 2007. It is called SQ (Studio Quality). Some says it is better than AMQ but how exactly? What are the differences? Anybody knows? So far, I have not been able to find much information on the web... but maybe some of the DVX gurus out...

Hi everybody. I am now trying to export a video i've made with my DVX100a through Compressor so it can be burned on a DVD in the MPEG2 format. I would like you guys to share your past experiences regarding this matter. Is is better to use Apple's compressor 2 or another program to have the best...

Hi everybody, I wanted to know if any of you guys is using a Chamois Eyepiece for his DVX100A ? If yes, which model would you recommend ? I would also love to see some pics of it installed on a DVX. Thanks !

Hi everybody, I was wondering if some of you had any experience with the new HB-207 hiker backpack from Kata. After using a pelican case of awhile, I am looking for a more portable carrying solution, especially when I work alone. A backpack such as this would also allow be to have my hands free...

Hi everybody, I currently own the AG-DVX100A and I always read my Panasonic MQ tapes in a Sony GV-D1000 mini-DV deck. I was wondering if those of you who currently own a deck such as this one could recommend me a way to clean the heads of my deck ? It's not that they are dirty right now, but I...

Hi everybody, I am looking for a second tripod to carry in my backpack for outdoor use with the DVX. The tripod has too be as light as possible since I will be carrying it for many hours on my back (plus other types of equipement and food). Of course it has to be stable, but not necessarily...

Hi everybody, I am having problems with my Lightwave equalizer on my ME64\K6 sennheiser microphone. At first when I bought that tool I thought that it would be totally wind-proof, but as soon as there is a slight wind I can hear it in my headphones and you can be sure it is recording on the tape...

I am currently using a Sony GV-D1000 Deck and a DVX100A. I've always used Panasonic MQ tapes in both. I've read the post concerning the cleaning but I am not confident enough to open up my camera and clean it myself. What would be the best way to clean the heads of my camera and my deck...

Did anybody ever use the BitVice MPEG2 encoder for MAC? If yes, what are your impressions on this piece of software? Is it worth it compared to Compressor? Thanks.

Hi, is there anyone here who owns the Bogen MDeVe 755B tripod? If yes, i would like to hear about your appreciation. The only fear i have is that it won't be stable enough to use during windy conditions in the field. I heard that you could hook a weight on this type of tripod for those...

Hi, i am thinking about getting a tripod with the bogen 501 head, but i would like to know if it's possible to have a ball leveler without having to get a super-heavy tripod. I am often shooting on location and weight is an important factor, it has to be heavy enough so my shots are steady but...
