Re: Sony HVR A1 camera
It looks like you might need to get it checked by Sony. You could ring Sony support and ask for the meaning of the error code. It couldn't be a moisture error code? You could try leaving the cam on a hot radiator for a few hours to dry the circuit board out, with the batteries out - including the ce...

Is Green Screen Overated?
We've had a few tutorials at our place - but is it worth pursuing?

Re: Support for 1080p files on Panasonic HDC-TM700
I've just ordered Adobe CS5 along with the above camera, so I'm hoping this will be a good enough combination. I've got an i7, W7,64bit and 8gb of ram so it will probably boil down to the software. Not sure that I'll use progressive mode though - I'll film with 1080/50i, outbut to BR and see how it ...

Make a Blu-Ray DVD without a Blu-Ray burner or Blu-ray disk
I've just made my first Blu-ray disk - with a 20 minute movie encoded to 1920 x 1080, without a blu-ray burner or disk. Method: I had an edited movie shot 1440 x 1080 with some stills and 16mm footage clips. Exported it, via Adobe CS4 with H.264 Blu-ray codec, 1920 x 1080 at the default settings Ado...

Re: Adobe Premiere CS 5
It's good info Geoff. Thanks for that also. I couldn't do that comparison. It should be worth me getting it, as long as my teacher wife buys it ... Couldn't afford it otherwise.

Re: Future Structure of the IAC Website
It's funny how a topic gets diverted as the responses are added. It's typical of forums. I feel the main purpose of a website such as ours should be to show what we are all about in an interesting way, and in doing so, attract more people to joining our movement. Its other purpose I'd say would be ...

Re: The Comedy Thread
I went to my GP the other day and told him that I'm worried about my Mrs - as she's convinced she's a chicken.
He suggested that I should turn her in immediately.
But I simply can't do that - I need the eggs ...

Re: The Comedy Thread
A guy buys a chinese chicken suey from the chinese takeaway, takes it home and eats it. It's awful - he can hardly chew it. A couple of nights later he went back to the takeaway and tells the owner that the chicken was very rubbery. The owner replied "oh thank you sir - you want another one ton...

Re: Adobe Premiere CS 5
I've got the full CS4 Production Premium Suite, which from the experience I've got with it, works and integrates well enough. But I installed the CS5 trial to see if 64bit Premiere did render more quickley - using more CPU and memory power of my rig to convert files and output HD movies. Unfortunate...

Re: How do I know it is 16-9?
The vast majority of standard def camcorders record natively 4:3. Even my VX2100 recorded as such, although there may have been a few cams that had 16:9 chips. My point was that SD cameras didn't seem to adjust the image information of SD 16:9 movies (not sure about the identifying aspect ratio info...

Re: How do I know it is 16-9?
I've not ever noticed that when I put a 16:9 movie onto a standard def camcorder, that the movie loses any of the info. I seem always to correctly project it from miniDV tape, often by just setting the projector beforehand. If it means that you need to get a note to the projectionists on what projec...

Re: North v South, change needed
Dave - I'm not sure that putting people's phone numbers on the web is the best thing to add to this. I've given a show to a history society tonight, with HDV projected movies and some older SD movies. Some of the audience told me they enjoyed the whole show - I doubt they noted much more difference ...

Re: Adobe Encore
In the timelines box (tabbed on the left in the projects panel), you should select the timeline that your movie is on. Look in box below and you'll see the chapters you've made for it. Highlight the last chapter, and on the right you should see in the properties section of the chapter box, a link to...
