IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

had a go at Device Manager today and found that while it lists the blu ray device it calls it a CD-Rom or something. I appreciate this isn't any help, but I don't think I've ever seen a Windows PC list an optical drive as anything other than CD and/or CD/DVD drive. Myown (working) BD rewriter is li...

John, whilst I wouldn't encourage you to fall foul of the law or enrage an awkward parent, I'd failry certain you'll be fine if you go with your "filming for an hour" idea and have a leflet or whatever available explaining what it will be used for. The spirit of the law is to protect children - I do...

I don't have expertise in this area, but: There is no law against photographing or filming children, provided the images are decent in nature. It is still wise to obtain permission, if possible from the parents. When you ask for permission to film children it can often be useful to keep the camera ...

The fact is hows the BluRay as empty is very strange. You could try CCL or Pioneer themselves, though I wish you luck in finding anyone who will support it on XP (even though Tom was using BluRay on XP)

it was pointed out to me by an ex-teacher that children could be seen to be being enticed onto the land, I'm sure lawyers could have a field day arguing that one, assuming you're doing it on a day when it is expected children visit strangers' houses. But we don't want to be paying lawyers - we want...

Can of worms, John. If it's on your land and if you put up a clear sign I'm confident that you will be technically OK, but it only takes one parent to get shirty about it to ruin the whole evening for all the kids in the street and ruin your documentary scene. I would bust a gut to get someone there...

Paul Kittel interviewing Jess O'Brien Great idea of Paul's to use clips from the film. Jess makes a good subject - she is clearly switched on and able to communicate well in person as well as through the medium of film. Of course Paul's well judged questions helped no end. I'm sure Jess will be ple...

Dave, you have a fantastic mistress!

That being the case, I suggest you avoid any Belgian swimming pools!

Links to many of the films plus interviews with many of the makers (thanks to Jan, Alan Colegrave/Alistair Biggar, Tom & Celia and maybe others) have now appeared on www.biaff.org.uk.
Willy will be interested that theres a lengthy interview with Werner & Francis.

I should also add that the event was subsdised by the IAC and the ticket cost me a mere five pounds - which included 2 x tea/coffe and biscuit intervals plus a decent plated ploughmans and cakes made by Joy Prosser. Whilst I don't need to explain what £5 buys to anyone reading this I just thought I'...

I enjoyed another SERIAC Festival yesterday afternoon at the Oast Theatre in Tonbridge, Kent. Like This year's BIAFF this is a proper theatre with raked seating (SERIAC has been ahead of BIAFF in this respect of for many years!). Keith Sayers and his team are to be congratulated on excellent project...

Even stranger as a blank BD is 25GB or 50GB as a double layer. Good point Tom. Just thought I'd check my own system (Win 10 but same model Pioneer drive) If I put a blank, unformatted BD-R (write once) single layer into my system (Win 10) it shows as capacity 22.5GB, with 22.5GB free. If I put one ...

It seems possible. At this stage I'd take it up with Pioneer or your supplier.

Sorry for wasting your time, Tim

Absolutely not a waste of time, Peter. I missed out one of the possible causes (my fault for assuming you were running a more recent version of Windows)

Hi Peter. Yes, each of my suggestions could also correlate with your statement about DVDs. Apart from the fact that they use the similar technology to read and write, they are not the same. (For a start DVDs use red laser light and BluRays use blue) so it is quite feasible that a DVD will be recogni...
