Re: Compilation of Films

If all fails you could use the latest version of My DVD which is Roxio. I think you can get a trial period of it free. I used to use MYDVD and think it was the best of all the cheap programmes.

Verbatim

I've just tried a Verbatim BD-RE disc to burn an HDV programme. My LG burner won't read it so I can't burn the video from Vegas Movie Studio 10. My LG blu-ray player won't recognise it either a message just says disc error. Has anyone else had a Verbatim BD-RE failure. I thought that they were one o...

Re: Make a Blu-Ray DVD without a Blu-Ray burner or Blu-ray disk

I find it much simpler and quicker to use a blu-ray burner to place HD videos onto a Standard DVD. By that I mean I go straight from the timeline to the burner using a Standard DVD and up to now have managed to place 30 mins of HD onto the DVD. 8)

Re: DESKTOP ICONS NUISANCE PROBLEM

Thanks for the info Col. I seemed to have cured the problem by clicking onto "save the icon layout" before switching users.

DESKTOP ICONS NUISANCE PROBLEM

This may not be the right forum for this subject, but as it delays editing it might be accepted. One of my hard drives is partitioned into two. I use one half and my partner the other. For years we have been able to switch from one to the other with no problem, but now we find that on switching the ...

Re: DV mini Disc cassette storage

Thanks Dave for the info. I'm arranging to purchase some racks from Bryco. It's strange that the 50 cassette rack is cheaper than the 36 rack. I asked them why, thinking there might be a difference in quality and they told me that the 50 rack is the most popular so they can afford to sell it cheaper...

Re: Converting 4:3 to 16:9

I bought the Vegas programme simply to burn Blu-ray Discs. I normally edited with Adobe Pro 2 but Adobe pro 2 doesn't burn Blu-ray. I found that Vegas accepted programmes edited by adobe and burnt the Blu-ray successfully. Vegas accepts nearly all formats such as AVI Mpeg 1 and 2 etc. So if you have...

DV mini Disc cassette storage

Does anyone know where I can buy plastic storgage containers designed to hold DV mini cassettes. I have tried in vain to find a source through the internet, all I come up with is suppliers of tapes. On the how programme it mentions that you should store the tapes in containers designed for such tape...

Re: Converting 4:3 to 16:9

Sony Vegas Movie Studio platinum 9 does this quite easily, in fact I have just completed a fifteen minute video using this conversion programme. You have to do each clip in the video seperately you can't convert a whole video with one application. On second thoughts if the video to be converted is p...

Re: Adobe Premiere Elements 7

Hi Tom. Thanks for your rather belated comments. I have solved all my problems by using Sony Vegas Movie studio platinum 9 pro pack. It gives me the choice of editing on Adobe Pro2 and then placing the finished edit onto Vegas to burn a Blu-ray disc, or editing on the Vegas and burning the Blu-ray d...
