Pinnacle 12 puzzle
Several of my colleagues use Pinnacle 12 (Don’t suppose they will ever be cured) however, visiting one today who was happily creating a nice short movie and the final touch was adding a track of suitable music. All played very well. Then, as he normally does, he exported it as a FLV file prior to pu...

add-on mics for camcorders
I’m preparing a short talk/video for our club members on using an add-on mic for their small camcorders. I’ve mentioned the usual well-known models Sennheiser MKE300d and their MKE400 also the Rode model. I’ve got to the stage of discussing getting the mic close to the sound source in ‘reporter’ sty...

The enthusiam of youth
Through a friend of a friend of a friend etc. I have been in touch via e-mail with a young chap I met about a dozen years ago. (He is now in his late 20s) I met him through his amateur interest in magic, which as some may know, is my everyday hat. At the time he was a talented and artistic young ma...

Re: Sony camcorder DVD
Thanks Tom, What would we do without you? However I had realised that it could be done that way but I had assumed - wrongly as ever - that it could be done another way. We always live and learn don't we? All of us appreciate your replies and help with our niggling problems. No doubt there are many t...

Sony camcorder DVD
More problems . . . A colleague has a new toy and that is a Sony camcorder recording on to those small DVDs. We recorded some test clips and viewed playback on the camera. He used SD and that is recorded as MPEG. He then removed the disc and left it with me to put onto the Premiere CS4 timeline. I p...

Re: MP3 files on DVD player
Thanks Tom, I tried standard R discs also but still no joy. I have also tried CDs. No luck. I went to a colleagues house and tried on his portable DVD player. Still no good. It remains a mystery. The instruction book clearly says it will play MP3 DVD/CD. I will try playing the discs on a Laptop as t...

MP3 files on DVD player
Here’s an interesting problem for readers this Sunday morning seeing as you have had an extra hour in bed…. I have a Ferguson LDVD71 portable DVD player that works fine. I know it will play MP3 audio discs so I copied from my PC hard drive around 65 short audio clips on to a DVD-RW and placed it int...

Re: RIVA flv converter
Thanks Tom,
What in practical terms is the difference in using FLV or MPEG2?
Does one give better results than the other?

Re: RIVA flv converter
Thanks Dave for your quick reply and I'm sure you know better than me on these matters. Sometimes I do have films that are up to 10 minutes long (not all of course). When I tried uploading AVI files (so long ago now) they may well have been more tha 2gb - I can't recall. However the avi files were l...

RIVA flv converter
Until about a 18 months ago I used a programme called RIVA-FLV to convert videos to upload to you tube. I originally tried to upload AVI files but all this failed miserably mainly because of my lack of knowledge I suppose. Once I was told about RIVA this became so easy and I was pleased with the upl...

Re: Studio backgrounds for small studio
Hello Edin, Thanks for taking the trouble to reply. I had thought about using green/blue screen but a couple of clubs locally have tried this and the results were not as satisfactory as I would have liked. I appreciate the ability to have virtually any background wished for, but if the results leave...

Studio backgrounds for small studio
Years ago, when I ran a photographic studio, I possessed several 9ft wide paper backgrounds on rolls. I also had a couple of painted canvas backgrounds also on rolls. All these were disposed of many years ago. Occasionally I have the need for a background for video projects, mainly in my lounge, whi...
