Hey all. I've just purchased a new computer, refurbished. It came with 2 x 160gb 10k rpm drives. I'm wondering how you would advise the best way to spread out my data on those drives are. Would love some input: Scenario 1. 1 x 160 gb - Programs 1 x 160 gb - Project files Scenario 2 2 x...

Hey all: I'm currently in production for a web series called "Unreasonable TV" (check it out at www.unreasonable.tv) about an entrepreneurship bootcamp in Boulder, Colorado, where the top high-impact, socially conscious startup companies are living and learning here. We're featuring a couple...

Hello! I'm doing a project in which we're getting footage from an HVX-200 (DVCPRO HD) and a 5D (h.264, transcoded to prores). I've cut a lot in FCP, but haven't worked with P2 media in a while. I've learned that P2 DVCPRO HD is now a nativelu supported format, that can be edited right in the...

Hey all - I'm considering selling my HVX-200a after having it for a year. Great camera, just need some cash. I know that HVX's are not the "it" camera anymore, so won't fetch top-dollar, but am hopeful that I will at least be able get some money for it. My kit is a simple HVX with all...

Hey all - My camera has recently taken a small spill, and the IR plate on the back, lower left side has split and fallen off. It seems like a part that I could just order and replace myself - is there any place that I could do this myself? Thanks! Ryan

Hey all- I'm a long-standing video editor, and have worked extensively with DV footage, as well as RED footage in both Ppro and FCP. I am currently involved in my first P2-based project. I am having trouble making P2 video, frankly, look good coming out of adobe premiere cs3. It gets washed...

Hey, guys! First of all, I know that this looks sketchy as I just joined DVXuser, but I've been surfing this site for years and I've got a rep over at reduser.net. I'm making the jump to the RED camera, so I don't need my homemade DV equipment anymore, but thought that I could pass it onto...
