IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

At the 2008 Festival of Nations we saw a film about an Austrian school. Like similar movies in Britain it was clearly aimed at parents and teenagers - encouraging students to enroll there. It happened to be very well made and quite entertaining - which is not always the case with such films. The jur...

There is an amazing compilation of clips from commercial movies which have been made into a send-up version of those tv shows: "100 best xxx movies"

I have no idea how this compilation deals with copyright issues ... but for any cinema lover it is compulsive viewing. 100 movies 100 quotes 100 numbers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FExqG6LdWHU and for those who have to know where the clips came from http://acrentropy.blogspot.com/2007/05/for-thos...

Interesting possibilities for this thread ... Sony GV-HD700e around £1,000 Perhaps another option is a cheap HD camcorder? Blu-Ray capable decks seem to be down to about £160 now and dropping in price. The "central machine" for home cinema use is usually a good amplifier like a Yamaha whic...

In the immediate future are systems that create resolutions of 2K and even 4K for amateurs (see the Red camera; Scarlet). Just to save everyone else searching it out, you can find out about this at http://www.red.com/nab/scarlet but the main thing to note is that Red One is capable of recording at ...

We won't be removing any content, just shifting the furniture to let in more light! I love that description! It is a problem all webmasters have ... when you need to re-organise a long-established site people think you have deleted all the old material. When Atta Chui first revamped the IAC website...

Hope that helps - don't forget the sound recording and soundtracks dayschool on 18th October! Howard Gregory Welcome to the forum, Howard. For those who may have missed the details ... Howard, who writes a regular column on sound recording for the IAC's magazine, and his partner Suzanne are running...

Welcome back, Willy. I guess that your computer is now fully back in action.

Find Mike a violin piece on http://www.efiddler.com/loops.htm ! I too am an Acronis fan - and I usually do incremental backups which I set going when I am about to go out for an hour or two so I don't know how long they take. Every couple of months I will connect a different stand-alone hard drive a...

The three main UK festivals which welcome amateur entries (BIAFF, Cotswold and Guernsey) have now all released their results. BIAFF: http://www.fvi.org.uk/central/biaff2008/biaff2008-diamond+special.html Cotswold: http://www.fvi.org.uk/central/cotswold2008results.html Guernsey: http://www.fvi.org.uk...

Back to the topic of burning the DVDs ... I took Stephen's advice and bought a Lite-On DH-20A4P which is purring away happily in my PC. [Hey - he said it is cheap and I am a Scot !] While fitting it I was passed a question from someone who had converted the AVI file from their camcorder into mpeg-2 ...

A new thread on the topic sounds good, Ian. As a couple of the UK computer magazines have reminded us recently, it is fairly easy these days to assemble your own computer. The building-blocks are few in number and there is a lot of standardisation. One magazine got a PC made for £99 - without keyboa...

Is there an opportunity here for video clubs? If a club purchased the equipment, camera and edit station for HD and made them available to members this would make much more sense than everyone buying their own equipment. Ned makes good sense as usual. My concern is that "HD" is not yet ap...

Hi Dave. I think on reflection that you right, the hostility against Epson that I have referred to was posted on another forum. My Apologies to this forum. My only excuse is old age. Roy. Phew! I thought it might be my brain freezing up! On a practical note, Roy, what software do you use for prepar...

Sorry, Roy, I suspect you are confusing this forum with another one. I cannot find any sign of such posts here.

Are you thinking, perhaps, about the private IAC email groups: NLE and General?

We have had very little discussion of disc printers here.
