Hi Gang, I'm doing a shoot with an HMC150 tomorrow, and having this little audio issue. Not a killer, as my Audio 1 channel is just fine. However, Channel 2 is a mystery and I'm trying to determine if the camera is faulty or if I'm simply overlooking something (I don't think I am). Channel 2...

This is considered by many to be the Rolls Royce of Super 8 cameras: Beaulieu 4008 ZM II Year: 1971-1977 Lenses (interchangeable): Schneider Kreuznach Optivaron 1,8/6-66 mm (Macro), Angenieux 1,9/8-64 mm (non-Macro) or other via C-mount. Auto/Manual Zoom with Variable Speed (Auto zoom depending...

As I noted in the subject, I'm not really sure where this should be posted, or even if anyone here would know the answer. Anyhow, here's the skinny: I'm cutting together a doc of a stage show that was mounted in China. I'm told that the music played during the show was covered by the venue, as...

Hi Gang, I'm working on a project for a client and a large portion of what I've been give are .avi files. I have tried opening these in various and sundry software to transcode them for use in FCP, but nothing has worked. Only VLC has been able to open the files (in QT and others I have only...

Hello All, Looking for a little insight again. Here's the scenario: you've been handed 5 hard drives full of footage. It's footage of a 90-minute stage show that was shot with 8 cameras for 4 performances. Everything is .avi and needs to fist be converted to work in FCP. Then the show will be...

Cheers, Gang! I'm hoping someone with a good working knowledge of codecs and compressions can get me on the right path. I've been handed several hard drives worth of footage to cut together. There are actually 2 sets of drives with identical material. One set has everything encoded as .avi. The...

OKay, here's the scenario. You've shot 30 tapes of footage (run and gun doc stuff). I say to you, "Hey, I'd love for you to edit this down to an hour-long (possibly a bit longer) piece, but I want a fixed rate, not hourly." What would you charge? Okay, this is not hypothetical, it's an actual...

Hello Gents and Ladies, I haven't been here in a while, and I'm rather out of the camera loop these days, still happily shooting on my DVX100A, oblivious to other goings-on. However, I have a job coming up in a couple of weeks that needs to be shot in HD. I mentioned this camera to the person...

Hi Gang. Not sure if I'm posting in the right place. I've been out of the loop for a bit. Just wondering if I can capture from my DVX100A via the FireWire 800 port on a new MacBook Pro, or will I be screwed and have to use various and sundry adapters? thanks, travis

Okay, so let me see if I can 'splain this clearly and concisely: I'm shooting a short scene for a little 24-hour competition. This is being shot inside a warehouse-style building. No windows. It's set in old mexico. I'd like to be able to cut away a section of the background wall (for the wide...

Hi Gang. I am experiencing a frustrating sync issue with audio from my DVX-100A. I have never had this problem in the past. It seems to be a full 2 seconds off (like the old DVX-100 issue). Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? Thanks in advance.

At World's End. Just saw it. Loved it.
