Has anyone here had compatibility issues with their PCMCIA --> PCI adapter? I tried installing one on my desktop PC last night and my system would not boot (blank monitor). I did some research online and other people have encountered similar problems with my motherboard (Abit IP35 pro).

Problem: I'm exporting to microsoft avi (compression set to "none") from an SD video in Premiere CS3 and my CPU is not under 100% load. However, when I export to "uncompressed avi" all four cores of my CPU are maxed at 100% load. As a result, the "microsoft avi" render is taking 3 times as...
I'm trying to export a 12 min. SD video as a microsoft DV AVI from Premiere CS3 and it's projecting it's going to take 2 hours to render.
I have a q6600 (quad core), 3.5 gigs of ram, 7200 rpm SATA hard drives (program, scratch disk, and pagefile on separate drives). I noticed that my CPU is...

As many of you know, economic stimulus checks ranging from $300-$1200 will be sent out this week to taxpayers in the U.S.. (insert political commentary or lack thereof here) My question to all of you is:
What are you going to do with the extra cash? Save it? Blow it all on a P2 card (like...
Someone, who shall remain nameless in the course of this thread, tried to pick up my DVX by the handle while it was still attached to it's tripod and as a result the tripod mount ripped out of it's socket (see below). I was hoping to "fix" it by fastening a steel base plate tripod mount from...
For some reason, when I play the DVD of a short film I just made, the closing song has strange volume fluctuations. The volume gets soft and loud back and forth for a good twenty seconds. It also sounds like it might fade from left to right as well. The audio for the rest of the film sounds...
Will any laptop with a decent-sized hard drive be sufficient for data transfer from a P2 card in the field? Or does P2 file transfer require decent processing power and RAM?
Follow-on Q: What are the minimum specs for a laptop to be used as a monitor AND P2 transfer device?
To my horror, my DVX100a, and the jib-like apparatus to which it was attached, fell from a height of about 5 feet onto concrete. The tripod mount ripped out and there were a couple of of dings on the body and the lens hood. Other than the cosmetic damage, the camera appears to be functioning...
I attempted to export my 24p SD DV project to a Quicktime file (.mov) using H.264 (at 2500 kbps, best quality, 480x360). The movie came out with a strange shearing effect on moving shots similar to interlacing drag except with many fewer horizontal splits. This problem does NOT occur when I...
The lav mic for my Audio Technica wireless lav system broke yesterday. Rather than just going ahead and replacing it with the same mic, I wanted to explore other options.
Which lav mics (just the mic, not the system) would you recommend for value and quality? I'd like to spend less than $50...
I'm filming a short about a guy who gets up in the middle of the night for a midnight snack.
What's the best way to achieve a bluish domestic lights-out look with a DVX?
I imagine it will require a combination of soft, even lighting and some visual effects in post, such as dropping the...
I'm a beginning film maker and I'd like to improve my cinematography skills. I know the best way to improve is to get behind the camera and shoot, but I also want to know what resources exist to supplement a hands-on approach to learning the trade.
What books, websites, podcasts, and dvd's...
I'm a beginner film maker and I'd like to enter as many short film contests as possible to learn the ropes of film making on a deadline. Where should I go to find short film contest/competitions/festivals?
It takes a good minute for me to load a project (10 minute short with tons of footage). It also takes 10-20 seconds for Premiere to unfreeze when I switch to another open program such as my browser.
I have a 3ghz processor, 1 GB RAM, 256mb video ram, and 10 GB left of hard drive space. Most...
