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...

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...

Well I would certainly be interested, Chris. You are right, of course, about the last link to the projector almost always being analogue - though that may change in future. InFocus machines then have the excellent Faroujia scaler inside to make changes - at least mine does. But what happens earlier ...

Hi Roger, Some helpful suggestions on hardware there ... at such low prices DVD burners (plural) should be on every desktop! To answer your second question, most people prefer DVD-R format discs which seem to be accepted well by most players. Three additional notes on DVDs: - beware of using stick-o...

Is there a 16:9 marker?
I am fuming because a tape I carefully prepared in 16:9 was shown at an event recently in 4:3. I was not there but am told the projectionists claimed their professional equipment did not recognise the signal as 16:9. The tape was full 16:9 - i.e. an anamorphic image, so that when shown "square&...

Hi Tony, Sorry I haven't used any of the Pinnacle editors. Do people change their edit program often? If it works, it works. Only if you really need one of the features of a new version or a rival product is it worth considering. If you don't like Pinnacle's track record why keep looking at their pr...

Can clubs look outwards?
For many individuals their video club is enough to satisfy their needs for watching and talking about movie making. That's fine. But I keep thinking there are also club members who would enjoy going beyond the boundaries of their club. Attending a regional event - whether a training day or a festiva...
