I will add to that a nugget of information I gleaned many years ago from a computer expert - when using two backup drives DO NOT purchase identical make and model drives.

Excellent advice indeed.

Michael, I think we are talking about the reliability of individual drives. There is no difference between internal and external drives***. All my drives started life as internal to my PC but the majority now reside on a shelf and contain my archives. When archiving to them, or backing up current pr...

I remember worrying when i saw the MTBR for SSDs, but so far, with several schools running SSDs for 3+ years, I've yet to have a failure. My own PC (3+years old - although I still think of it as new) is using an SSD for Windows + Application (not just several video editing and related applications, ...

Does she want to produce a video which is 9:16 or 16:9? Premiere will have no problem rotating the image if the latter (but she will have to decide whether to zoom in and lose definition or how she is going to fill the blank space around the 9:16 image. If the former, just set up the sequence as 108...

I just like the general back coverness about it.When i look at the back cover it inspires me to think of other great back covers.The new one is a bit milleniull for me.

It looks a bit from coverish to me!

Truly bizarre, Roy, but at leat it gets you to where you need to be (and rushing to change the volume might give you exercise).
PS Thanks for the compliment - I'm know there are many that would disagree, but I'll gladly take that as my epitaph

I don't know about Jon, but I liked it because (a) it gave the impression the average age of an IAC member was younger than it actually is and (b) it made me feel my camcorder is much younger than it actually is.

Roy, I think you have hit upon two of the dilemmas of life ***: Flexibility vs complexity and function vs form. *** I was going to say modern life, but I suspect these have been problems ever since the industrial (possibly even the agricultural) revolution where techological abilities have improved ...

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...
