(oops! Added course link and kept this thread open. Doh!) IN CASE YOU MISSED IT... Here's an abridged email I received. Long story short, I purchased tS years ago, never got into 3D for several reasons, updated a couple of more times and continued to keep up with the newest developments. Much...

Long time no logon. It's good to be back. Sorry if this isn't the best spot to post this, but waddayagonna do? Anyone have any inside info besides the blurb at this link? (Scroll down for the AVCDV Pany model.) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/find/newsLetter/NAB2008-ProVideo.jsp Looks like a...

I recently purchased the Edirol R-09 and began live voice tests with the internal mics as well as a battery powered lav. I've experimented with all the settings and am concerned/dissapointed. The input levels seem way way to low. With internal mics, Mic Gain on low, AGC off, input level at 30...

Hi X-ers, Apologies for these simple, basic questions, but I need to get them straight quickly to prepare for a last minute project. I haven't used my DVX much and need a few basic questions answered before an 'industrial type' shoot. By the sound if it, the shooting will start 2 days from...

Sorry for this question, but someone on another forum posted that the lens is plastic. I'm thinking they were misled by what they read regarding the mock-up. HVX has to use glass, right? LHB

The August 2005 issue of DV Magazine spotlights a new camera with some very interesting advances. Now, I dont think this is really leapfroggin the HVX200 per se, but check out some of the specs of the Sony HVR-A1U. No more verticle smear. Wide dynamic range. "Tele Macro" which "...lets...

Ever tried to do a digital zoom of DV25 video? Go over 105% and it looks grainy. So, if I shoot with the HVX200 in HD or say a Sony in the HDV format, can the image be zoomed significantly and still retain a good looking picture? If so, I'm thinking a bit of pan and scan might be doable as...

Hi, I've pretty much given up on the laptop idea (see http://www.dvxuser.com/V3/showthread.php?t=26202) and think a more modern 'workstation' is a better investment. I'd like to get into Vegas more and maybe PremPro as well. Forgoing hardware acceleration and trying to keep the price...

Greetings, I hope I'm posting to the right place on this... Got a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop and want to add an external harddrive for Vegas 5 editing. Maybe an internal drive solution as well? Specs are 1GHz cpu, 384ram (512 max), 30GB system drive, 2 PCMCIA slots, a pair of USB 1 ports, 2...

I just read in the Sept 2004 issue of EQ Magazine about HP's new technology called LightScribe that lets you _burn_ the label on specially coated media. It is an "inexpensive modification" of hardware (just not a retro-fit it seems) along with firmware enhancements that allows for pictures and...

Has anyone looked into this 2 disc instruction set? I'm looking for user feedback or reviews or even educated guesses. It's $100USD which is not a lot of money unless it's lame. If anyone has purchased this product, is it worth the price? Product information can be found here...

My old all-in-one go-to forum collapsed back in June, so I'm hoping my new go-to forum friends here can help me with a sticky problem. I'm upgrading an Asus box that has a slot 1 configuration and a CoolerMaster type heatsink/retention module. (plastic across the top edge of the cpu is about...

I've been reading the posts on problems some people have experienced with their brand new DVX camera. There seems to be a wide range of things that can be bad (as with anything electronic). I'm still holding off on such a major purchase for several reasons, the rate of defects being one of them...

I have three 72mm Canon filters for the L-1 from my days of Hi8. Are they suitable for use on the DVX? There are issues with auxilliary lenses and resolution limitations going from one format to a higher rez one; but filters should work fine, right? ND8, circular polarizer, and UV/Clear. I'm...

I can hear you all now: "What a waste of a great camcorder!" Well, I still haven't pulled the trigger and 'invested' in a DVX-yet, so don't freak out. Here's my situation. It's 2am in the morning and I just finished transfering some regular 8mm film to video via my Sony TRV22 miniDV. My client...
