LP - Long play, SP - Short play. See below: :) The following "warning regarding LP Mode" was condensed from JVC's service manual for the GY-DV300 camcorder: It applies equally to all MiniDV format equipment. The track width in SP mode is 10 microns (approximately 1/10 the width of a human ...

well unless u have a dvdwriter - no.

check out this thread though it may help - http://www.matthawkins.co.uk/forum/view ... php?tid=18

my cam has 1.3 megapixels

Not all standalone dvd players play vcd's, i dont think ps2 plays vcd's - but most dvd players do and will normally say on the front VCD or sumthin if they do. all computer dvd drives play vcd's but u may need a vcd playing s/w to play it.

what about after effects?

just drag the pic and video onto the comp window - resizing the vid if u have to, to fit the pic - volia! - set the video as teh top layer.

Source was just captured avi footage - but it slows down on everything - divx, etc. Also i used ulead videostudio to edit some of a film - then when putting that into premiere to do some final editing - the audio was ok but the video was stuck on one frame :( . even though it was fine after exportin...

OK - i use premiere - well try to - for editing - but it goes so slow - like i move the slider for the time and it takes ages to move - premiere just freezes for a few secs all the time so its hard to get much done. i have 512mb ram, xp1400. any other people have this prob - anythin i can do to stop...

lol! yea i think the bottom link i gave is probably the best one for knives actually. - for some reason i cannot sign in - but my password is ok when i post!!

Well you could make it yourselves using a portable recorder! Swing a thin stick for the best noise. Or is this any good -

25 Cool Things About AE5.5

Well I've used divx compression at 4000kb/s. I must have rendered the same file about 4 times now but it is the same quality? - I don't actually think its rendering though - just joining? - It's in premiere btw.

Yes I tried using Real and it gave really good results - I set at the highest setting and it made a 40mb file into less than 500kb's! - with not really any noticeable difference in quality. - most of the time I use DivX though - if again, that's at the highest setting - i think its 4000kb/s bitrate ...

Well I'm in the UK and in a band - so have experience of copyright - basically the way to do it over here is put the CD/medium of the recording + sheet music of it if poss - with the date and everything - into an envelope and get it stamped by the post office - then you can store it and don't open i...

Kool. Yea, I wouldn't ask anything to do them (obviously!), but my name on the credits would be nice ;) ! Does anyone know much about this - should I copyright music if I'm letting someone else use it on their film? - I mean, if it's copyrighted but they have permission its ok isn't it? - but just s...

I take benevolent to mean 'showing kindness' kinda thing?! lol

well i enjoy composing music and there are just some types are music which people need but are not avaliable, so I thought I'd show my kindness!

Why does it say that erik1185 was registed in 1970 and has no posts when he obviously has??

... then just ask! I use Cubase SX and 5.0, wavelab, soundforge, acid, and loads of plugins - also I use my Korg Triton to write alot of music, so if anyone needs anything I could possibly do it.

Oh yea - I just did that in Premiere - thanx anyway!

How do i speed up the video i import into after effects? - basically I'm just walking along recording with the camera - then when its imported into AE i want to speed it up - like fast forwarding?

Yea wud that work? - film the bus going past from a side angle. then film the actor from a side angle pretending to get hit by the bus in front of the greenscreen - perhaps u cud use cables and drag him back - but u have a budget of $0! - well do it without the cables - then edit the two shots in af...

are you sure it's my USB? - i was hoping it was gona b sumthing that simple! - Iv tried capturing with different progs - premiere, virtualdub, ulead, even microsoft movie maker and all the results end up really compressed or small resolution. - Just another question - if i borrow my friends USB dazz...

Quality is fine when put thru analogue onto TV - i think perhaps the software is compressing it? - as about a minute of video was 8mbs! - What could I use to capture it - I've tried using Ulead DVD Studio but that quality is even worse than the other s/w. - Perhaps I'll try Premiere?

OK - I justhave my new cam - a JVC GR-DV700. I don't have firewire yet so I'm using USB 1.1 - when captured, the video is poor quality - just to check - will getting a firewire card increase the quality?

Yea thats a good idea adam, thanx.
