If you want to be serious about printing stills, you should really invest in a hardware screen profiler (monitor calibrator), such as the Colorvision Spyder series, among a number of others. They are not cheap, but worth the money if you are serious. How this relates to video is a bit less obvious. ...

I had to buy a Vista PC for my business, just to learn on. It is far from "WOW!" as the MS advertisements would have you believe. If you buy a new PC, it will have Vista, so get used to it. But upgrading will cost you lots of time and money, and you will find that many older programs and h...

I have to disagree. There are two kinds of firewalls - and the re-use of the term is unfortunate. Most routers implement NAT - Network Address Translation. In a nutshell, this assigns internal, dummy addresses to your PCs and translate them in and out to the real assigned IP address from your Intern...

Give us some more detail plaese. Version of PE, type of display adapter, do you have latest drivers, what setting does it keep trying to go back to, etc.

Thanks, Paul. Yes it's a bit convoluted, but not too bad. But that might drive me to update two things I should do anyhow: 1) get a better DVD authoring program and 2) upgrade my PowerDVD.

Also, a new video card with HDMI output might be a good thing too!

I just looked at my PC, and the option to Format the HP recovery partition was there. So I am not sure what is happening in your case. Who is the PC manufacturer?

Thanks for the info Ronnie. I see those partitions all the time - mostly on HP PCs. It is a bad implementation, as it a) steals space from the HD for no purpose and b) won't help you at all if your HD crashes. I just bought a Vista PC to have one here at the shop (I refused to take part in the beta ...

So, Paul, if I may elaborate, you Setup your PE3 project for HDV 1080i and you are then able to write that (higher bitrate) to a standard DVD. What software do you use then to play the DVD to get your component out? That is a nice taste, but 20 minutes just wouldn't cut it for me. That reminds me of...

Ronnie, I would have liked to be in on this discussion, but I was away for the weekend. I don't understand why Chuck's solution didn't work. Could you provide details as to how it failed please. And BTW I will never use Partition Magic again. I bought a copy to help a client combine two partitions a...

I don't get quite the same results. On both my TV (when I use it for audio) and my good sound system, volume levels for broadcast TV (well, Time Warner cable anyhow) and commercial DVDs are very similar. On my Onkyo receiver, that is between 60 and 70 on their scale. But DVDs I make myself with PE a...

This Really Ticks Me off!

OK - it's time to start some activity here. I have to tell you that I am really, massively ticked off about the format wars. The industry let us down again. I want HD quality DVDs, but now I won't buy a thing until the war is settled. The correct answer is probably Blu-Ray. The problem is that techn...

I have a similar but older unit - TRV240. It seems to handle Hi8 and Digital8 just fine. I also used its analog inputs from my VHS deck, but wasn't quite satisfied with the results, so I ended up getting an external Pyro box. But at that time I was still using (uggh) Studio, and that may have been t...

Then I entered the chatroom with IE6 (opened a new IE window) and then went back to the original IE6 window and hit F5. No change. Still see different colored rectangle but no text or image and not clickable.

Nah, did that. You guys think I am some kinda novice? I'm a moderator here, man! :razz: But, seriously. I just took a look at the website again and now I don't see the icon at all - online or offline, whereas I used to. The only thing between the "Current Tech News" and the Adobe icon is b...

Online?

OK, so I entered the main chat room, I think I am a moderator, and yet I didn't see any online help icon on the muvipix home page.
