The Nero FTP is very flaky. You have to try to get things a few times. You can also try changing the number in the URL. it should be something like ftp4.nero.com or something and if you change the 4 to like 1-7(?) you might get better results. ShrinkDVD is cool yep This link http://www.nero.com/us/27646.html seems to work ok.... ----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+

I did think that it was possible with Premiere 6.5, I could be wrong, but certianly with Premiere Pro, there is a option "Export to DVD" once selected all you have to so is sit back and wait. -Oli ----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+

This might be a little long, but here we go….. What is the difference between interlaced and progressive video? People often state that NTSC is 29.97 frames per second and PAL is 25 frames per second. However, both of these formats are interlaced, and so these numbers only describe the amount of data, not the visible output framerate. Interlaced video is actually a sequence of fields. A field is half of the scanlines of a full image, either all of the even scanlines (0, 2, 4, ...) or the odd scanlines (1, 3, 5, ...) of potentially an individual and unique image. Therefore, it is better to say that NTSC is 59.94 fields per second, and PAL is 50 fields per second. One way to think about interlaced video is to picture a camera that captures at 59.94 frames per second, but only stores half of the scanlines from each frame, and switches between storing the even scanlines to storing the odd scanlines. I find this analogy very helpful when thinking about motion in interlaced video sequences. Interlacing is a very effective form of compression. The human eye is less sensitive to high frequency motion. Consider a spinning bycicle wheel: at sufficient speeds your eye cannot distinguish the individual spokes. With interlaced video, if you rapidly switch between seeing the even scanlines and seeing the odd scanlines, the image will appear whole. Interlacing uses this to achieve 59.94fps video in the bandwidth of a 29.97fps sequence. Progresive video, the opposite of interlaced video, is when every frame contains all of its scanlines. It's called progressive because the image progresses all the way from the first scanline to the last scanline without skipping any. What does it mean to deinterlace video? Deinterlacing is the process taking a stream of interlaced frames and converting it to a stream of progressive frames. Ideally, each field becomes its own frame of video, so an interlaced NTSC clip at 29.97 frames per second stream becomes a 59.94 frame per second progressive. Since each field is only half the scanlines of a full frame, interpolation must be used to form the missing scanlines. There are various methods of doing the interpolation, ranging from simply doubling scanlines to motion-adaptive methods. In many computing applications, deinterlacing is part of a recompression process, for example, converting a DVD of music videos in interlaced MPEG2 format to a progressive MPEG4 stream. For these applications, an output framerate of 59.94fps or 50fps is too high. Instead, most deinterlacer filters convert every interlaced frame to one single progressive frame, effectively halving the framerate of the content. Why do I need to deinterlace? My TV does fine without! The main reason for deinterlacing is framerate conversion. Televisions are locked to the refresh rate of the input; every field of video that arrives is shown for exactly one refresh on the television. A viewer will see equal amounts of the even- and odd-scanline fields, and so the missing information turns into slightly annoying flicker on detail and sharp edges. In the computing world, the video card controls the refresh rate of the display, and software has no control over its exact timing. Monitors also run at refresh rates incompatible with video rates of 50hz or 59.94hz; they run at 70hz, 75hz, 80hz, or even the annoyingly-close-to-59.94hz rate of 60hz. Because of this, linearly interpolated fields won't be shown for exactly equal amounts of time by the video card: the deinterlaced output will wave between favouring top fields to favouring bottom fields. This causes the image to 'bob' up and down, with small detail bouncing in and out of two distored images. To compensate for this effect, deinterlacing algorithms try and make every image presented to the monitor look as close as possible to a complete frame, that way, if the frame is shown for too long, it won't look out of place. The other reason for deinterlacing is of course to improve clarity and reduce flicker. For NTSC content, most people don't notice interlaced flicker artifacts as much as they notice chroma artifacts due to the composite nature of the signal (use S-Video or component wherever possible!). Of course, using a deinterlacer can help improve clarity and stability of the picture even if your output is hardware synchronized with the input. However, nothing can be done about some problems in smoothness (or temporal aliasing), displaying 59.94fps video on a 75hz monitor will never be as smooth as on a 59.94hz display being driven by the signal. -Oli ----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+

Ok, do aliens exist well quite possibly yes…. Have they ever visited Earth, well very very very unlikely…. How can I be so sure, well the nearest galaxy to Earth is the Andromeda galaxy which is 2.2 million lights years away from Earth. Now lets assume that one of these planets contains life, and lets say hypothetically that a being from a planet in the Andromeda galaxy managed to create a vehicle that could travel at the speed of light, there a round trip to Texas would take 4.4 Million years… But what about if they travel faster then the speed of light? Well we can prove that this is not possible with Einstein’s theory of relativity, in that as your speed increases so does your mass, therefore to travel at the speed of light would require an Infinite amount of energy… So I believe that we are just to far away from anywhere that another being could travel from. ----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+

I used to be a Leo, until I realised that astrology relies on an illusion in thinking called personal validation. This depends on the selective nature of memory. If we believe something is so, we tend to remember the events that support it, and for get those which don't. The result is a growing feeling of conviction. We remember the part of the spiel that fits us and forget about the parts, which don't. Influencing people this way is called cold reading, and there is a considerable psychological literature on the subject. The paradoxical result is that the heyday of astrology was not during the benighted Middle Ages, when the average person was sunk deep in ignorance and superstition, but rather in the 20th Century, when most citizens presumably know the basic facts of astronomy and are aware that the planets are worlds similar to the earth rather than god-fires in the sky. -Oli ----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+

I figure that I will continue to have my log book signed to the point that I have all the licence / qualifications that i require then no more... The whole signing of a log book is IMO is a pointless excersise, why ? well for one there is no way to stop padding, and the ammount of times that I find myself trying to remember the last 10/15/20 jumps that I did and just filling in "2 way freefly" or "good jump" and then having them all signed off. Lets face it most people will just sign anything..... Also Im sure we all know a jumper or two at our local DZ that we very rarely see in the air, yet seems to have an ever increasing number of jumps... in a kind of does 1 jump logs 10 ..... Is there any regulation to prevent you signing off your own jumps? as according to the APF Op Regs :- 7.1. PARACHUTIST'S LOG 7.1.1. All parachutists will keep a log of their descents. The log entry for each descent made by a student parachutist shall be signed in accordance with 6.1.9. 7.1.2. The log shall contain the type of parachute descent, the date on which the descent was made, the location of the DZ, the exit height, the free fall time in seconds, the distance landed from the target centre and the type and registration of the aircraft. 7.1.3. Where the parachutist’s log is used as evidence for an application for the issue or revalidation of a Parachutist Certificate, licence or rating, verification of the log may be required by any of the persons required to authorise its issue or revalidation. Legal certification may be accepted where log is lost. See also 3.1.2. It doesnt mention anything about who is supposed to sign your log, so just sign it yourself... -Oli ----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+

I am assuming you mean the Sony DCR-HC40, which if so then firewire is not an option as the camera does not have a firewire port. Therefore the only options are use the USB port, if you have already installed Premier, then use the capture feature built into the program. I think off the top of my head that once you run Premier press F5 to capture... this should bring up a capture window and if connected you should see the footage from you camera.... If you are not happy with the quality produced by USB then the only other option you have is to purchase a Capture card, that will connect to your camera via the composite AV out connection, this is the connection you use to connect you camera to the TV / Video. check out this link for some comparisions. http://www.videoguys.com/vidcap.htm ----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+

True and not true. Depends on the program and what it's trying to do. Some (most?) graphics programs such as After Effects or Motion make heavy use of the video card. Correct, purchase a video card that is capable of doing the rendering I have a ATI Radeon 9600xt which does the job really well. Mind you this can be more exspensive then a CPU. ----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+

ermm no, religion, and that is ALL religion is based on Blind Faith... And what is that exactly? there is only what we think has happened?

I agree with Kev, and because todate there is not a single shred of authentic evidence that proves otherwise...

First of all when you you shoot DV film you capture 50 interlaced Frames per sec PAL and 60 iFPS NTSC. The method by which you transfer the footage to you PC firewire / USB 1 or 2 will make no differnce to the Frame rate. If you want your finished project to look good you want to render it at 24.9fps, this can usually be set when you create a new project. Also when you render the final project you need to apply a deinterlace filter, otherwise you will end up with the strobe effect you mention. also check out www.videohelp.com -Oli ----------------------------------------------------------- --+ There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.. --+
