For the future, it may be wiser for Camcorder clubs to receive video entries in computer file format (mpeg4, mpeg2 or avi) and play these back through HDV projector using a more versatile computer which costs about the same. Interesting idea, Paul ... and you could well be right. Don't confuse the ...

Ray said: The projector suggestions are interesting. What pixel count do they have? The last time I looked for a 1080i one it was over £3000. The Optima is 1024x768 pixels and is compatible with 720p as well as 1080i. Stingman said: There are also two types of projecting the image. DLP (Digital Ligh...

By chance I bought the current issue of Personal Computer World magazine today and found a feature on projectors. The one with the lightest weight in their test was 1.4 Kg That was the Optoma EP1691 list price £939. Their review was pretty positive. It gives out 2,500 lumens, gets a bit hot, is not ...

Welcome back, Peter. There is a private email group which sends round robin emails to one another on technical issues. Access to that is restricted to IAC members ... which is why I left it because I prefer open access. There has been a suggestion that we should have an open technical forum here - w...

Ray said: I notice that a lot of these free-to enter festivals ask on the entry form if you are attending. So, I guess, that if you don`t go you don`t get judged!! I can't speak for other festivals but I do know about the Festival of Nations in Ebensee, Austria. That has free entry and gets hundreds...

Our AMPS website needs revamping said Ned and asked for ideas. So ... with huge respect to Richard the AMPS webmaster here are a couple of thoughts. 1) Make it easily visible to all. A large number of users still have screens set to 800x600. Most are around 1024x768. An increasing number - especial...

Entering Competitions
Congratulations to Tynemouth Video Club for making the winning entry in this year's North v South Competition: Grant Aid . I'm told the movie had the feeling of David Peffer's humour. So the North win this year, well done. It was also striking that many of the films in this competition are not seen ...

The first time I attended an animation festival with scores of short movies - it was an exhausting experience. Each movie tried to take me on a narrative arc from A to B, grabbing my attention, manipulating my emotions ... so each one felt like a whole movie experience. It felt like watching a featu...

This is getting silly. Stephen : I had to delete your last message for the same reason as before. You linked to your webspace on blueyonder.

The storage issue for discs is matched in our household by the problem of storing MiniDVs in a way which does not mean piles of them crashing to the floor whenever I try to grab one from half-way down the stack. I bought some pricey plastic racks which screw to the wall either horizontally or vertic...
