IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

It must be frustrating to have a range of activities/workshops in your programme that on the face of it should appeal to many people, who want to improve their video skills. There is no easy answer to the need to initially attract new members and then retain them. I don't know if it is the "clu...

The choice of the direction a video clubs takes is one that ultimately decides if a club survives and thrives or declines and ceases to exist. In general terms the older the membership profile the greater the resistance to change and acceptance of new ideas. The day of the traditional video club, li...

On review I got the wrong end of the stick and Dave and Col posts are more reflective of the thread than my own. Apologies to anyone I may have offended by my remarks.

The Digital Filmaker is targeted at the independent film maker. True it's content is for the DSLR users, but to deny they are not welcome into the IAC because they do not use camcorders is surely not a desirable attribute of the subscribers to this forum. The future of film making seems to be in the...

Is the NLE forum a breakaway group from the IAC?
Is it an underground forum that membership is by invitation only?
Is it.......?

Thanks for the information Dave. Updated my browser and can now play the BIAFF videos on my IPad. Just me getting too old to keep up with the times.

The BIAFF videos that are available on the IAC website require a Flash player to view them. This does not allow the videos to be viewed on an IPad or I Phone. Surely this is restricting the number of people who may want to see them. Flash seems to be on it's way out now that HTML5 is being promoted ...

I would like to capture and archive all my dv tapes and card based AVCHD footage onto HD storage using some form of standalone programme. The programme should be able to create a database with thumbnail index of the stored material. CatDV is one of the programmes that could be used but it is only su...
