  1. a little bit more info on this when i play the timeline in premier it plays fine. and if i have the camera set to vcr i can watch it on the lcd. if the camera is set to record and i play the timeline. as soon as i press record on the camera the timeline shuts off. there is also no output to the lcd when the camera is set to camera and on stand by. in device manager it shows when the camera is switched to vcr. and also when switched to camera. anyone have any ideas i have spent the last few days going through this and i thought i'd better post to the forum and get some good advice before there is a pc shaped hole in the window.

  2. Hi all Looking for some help with premier. premier will allow me to connect my pc120 by firewire and import video. but when i try to export back to the camera it tells me the camera doesn't exist. when the camera is set to vcr the video shows on the lcd. but if i try recording the output premier just shuts it off. got to be a simple explanation to all this.

EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DIARY DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favourite chair...must try this on their bed. DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was...Hmmm. Not working according to plan. DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time however it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid. My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth. DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the foul odour of the glass tubes they call "beer.." More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage. DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time...

  5. Have never flown with air france. But always take my rig as carry on. recently flown canada/states/portugal no problem with any of them outbound or back. I use a small sports bag that my rig is a tight fit in. the rest of my gear gets checked in. just check in early so you can deal with any problems.

  6. Get the bike. Much more fun and just great for nipping around.
  7. Blue skies and sun over here. And just got back from the dz had some aff students turn up so we went jumping

  10. physco pack it i was struggling to pack my new 20+ jumps samuria (a small bag didn't help) when my rigger passed by. seeing me struggle he took over. 20 minutes later. he passed it back with the comment don't ever expect me to pack that f*cking thing again it was like trying to get a greased up octopus in a milk bottle
  11. Yep the weather sucks at the moment just got back from the dz cloud base down to 1500ft not shifted all day as for 50 degrees i wish it was that warm first jump of the year early feb -35c at 16,000ft my tears froze and if i could have got my hands in my pockets in freefall i would have still went back up and did another one though
  12. Know exactly how you feel. last sunday was over in skydive portugal. first jump caught a thermal off the runway as i flared and biffed in not a scratch. last jump of the day had been hanging around muscles getting cold came in for landing a little hot (winds had dropped to zero) had to run a little (like you still getting used to my new canopy) felt my thigh muscle cramp up limped back to the hangar rubbing my leg next day could hardly walk cold muscles/joints+ sudden exercise are a recipe for disaster. get well soon.

The parties are even wilder in the algarve if thats possible. will be back home on the friday as you go out on the sat so will miss you out there. good luck with the AFF and enjoy yourself will probably see you at hib sometime when you return as a newly qualified skydiver
  20. Missed saturday due to work called in sunday to sort out the algarve trip but didn't get to jump as i had to shoot off to sort out a camera helmet for the trip glad you enjoyed hib great dz and even better people how come you stayed in a caravan when there is a new accommodation block or did the cider have something to do with it
  21. Took me two weeks to house train my GS it didn't take physical punishment just a sharp NO and took her outside and lots and lots of praise when she went outside to pee the biggest problem was getting her to stop playing with the cat the cat almost left home she treat the cat just like a puppy and insisted on cleaning him top to toe whenever he came in the house
  22. OK i did it just ordered the sony pc120 should be here in time for next weekend
  23. A few years back i was telling a fellow skydiver about the time we had turned up at a new dz and found out my reserve was out of date so it was pencil packed had a cutaway on my second jump (jumper kicked my cutaway pad off going out the door) as i dumped the reserve i was thinking hope to god this works her reply was did it yes janet i haven't forgotten
  24. Nice post Michele reading through i almost felt as if i was there with you all
