IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

Thanks Tim - so far so good. I have the full version of MPX6 which includes the Menu Designer for producing DVDs. But I am sure it will work ok as you have proved that the programme works in W10. I am surprised that it handles 4k but that is something for the future as I don't intend going in that d...

Thanks Tim, I await the outcome.

Thanks John & Col for your replies. I get the Computer/Active magazine every 2 weeks and there seems to be a lot of correspondence complaining about the arrogant way Microsoft bullies Windows 7 & 8 users into downloading updates and installing them without permission. Does anyone in IAC land...

I use Serif MoviePlus X6 on a Windows 7pro PC and I would like to know if anyone has used this programme on Windows 10 and been successful.

Thank you Tim and Col for your help.
I have taken your advice and purchased a new drive which in the end is the quick way round the problem.
Incidently my computer does not even recognise the problem drive now.

How can I alter the name of one of my drives which should be:NEC ND-4550A Super Multi CD-R/RW/DVD-R/RW IDE Drive but I think has been corrupted (I have no idea how or why) to: LEA DTD] RU LD-4550A? I have tried uninstalling it but to no effect. There just seems to be no way to rename it. Can anyone ...

Thanks Dave and Tom. Yes Dave I did try everything from the manual to correct it but to no avail and Tom you were right about the braid that feeds the LCD screen. It apparently is a common fault with this camera. I must be unlucky as 3 other members of our video club have the same camera but not had...

The 3 control buttons on side of LCD screen are not working. I have followed the instructions in the manual under CALIBRATION without success. I have even tried a reset, still not working. Has anyone encountered this problem or can offer any help. The camera is the Sony HC1 and the Zoom and Rec/Stan...

I have managed to obtain a WinTV PVR2 by Hauppauge and can now transfer my
commercially bought tapes to computer and then produce a DVD.
Thanks to all those who have posted information about this subject.

Hi Dave Thanks for help and suggestions. Well I've looked at the two tapes that I want to transfer and they are definitely PAL. I have been looking at the HQ Macro-Plus Copy Decoder from Amazon priced at £17.75. The reviews are certainly mixed. It seems that it either works or it doesn't - no half m...

To answer your questions Dave:
The tapes are definitely PAL
and I connect the SVHS VCR and the PC with
an S-Video lead and red and white phonos for sound.
I am not sure what an SVHS lead is?
As I have said this set-up works perfectly with my personal tapes.

I have a Panasonic SVHS VCR connected directly to my PC and all I get is the audio and just a grey picture. I have tried capturing the commercial tape on Mini dv tape in my camera but get the same result. A DVD recorder linked up to the SVHS VCR seems to be the answer, but is this the cheapest optio...

Thanks Dave for the info. You are quite right about copyright and I would be in trouble if I were to sell the copies after. But they are films that I purchased myself and would like to transfer them to disc. This is a problem that many people have now that they no longer own a VCR. It is a sad fact ...

Can anyone dare tell me how to copy bought VHS films, that are protected, to a PC
so that a DVD may be produced.
I have copied my personal VHS tapes quite easily, it's the commercial ones that are a
problem.

I have a PD170 for sale - if anyone is interested, contact me for details.
