Thanks for the feedback. I will look into the issues. Any chance you can provide me with a full error message? Take a screenshot if you can. Erasing images occurs when the copying is done. If the copy fails, no files will be deleted. But yes - formatting the card in the camera is whats recommended in the photo world, however I've never had issues using the computer, and since I always take a few shots while gearing up I would notice any errors anyway.. 180 rotation coming in the next release, never thought of that before, so thanks for the input!

Ok.. Fixed a few bugs, and made some improvements.. New version here: http://www.flataker.com/SkyBurner/SkyBurner_1.1.zip Get it while it's hot.. And please let me know if you find any bugs or have some input on how to improve the software... Short summary: Skyburner is a tool for (tandem)photographers that let you download pictures from your CF card to a location on your hard drive or a network folder. It can also burn these pictures to CD and clear you card if you wish. Download - Burn and clear your card in one click! Let the computer do the work while you concentrate on dubbing the vid or packing. Have fun

Yea, thanks for pointing out the variables, It may not be that obvious to others than the programmer.. I'll add a little info there if there ever is a secound release. PhreeZone: It's using the windows IMAPI API through the wrapper found here: http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/net/code/Libraries/Writing_CDs/IMAPI/article.asp Note: This is for the techies only, all you need to make the program run and work is included in the first post. The link provided here is just showing how its done.

For the first few minutes the wrong version was released. This was a debug version that did not produce any CD's (its only simulated the burning process). I dobt anyone got time to download the debug version, but if you did (only blank CD's are produced) just remove SkyBurner from Control Panel - Add/Remove software and install it again from the link above. Included some screenshots as well

I was sick the other day and spent a few hours brushing up my programming skills.. Ended up making a small application for burning pictures downloaded from the camera and at the same time storing them at the hard drive. Basicly, after a jump you just have to insert a blank CD, plug in the card, enter the passengers name and press a button. The application will copy the files to HDD and burn a CD with the images. Optionally it will also delete the pictures on your CF card after use. The first time you also have to enter the videot name, but this is stored on the CF card, so the next time you use the application it will be pre set (along with other options you change) My programming skills were a bit rusty, so you may encounter some issues. If you do, please let me know. The application requires the .NET framework. Its included in Vista, and if you use XP the installer should take care of that for you. The application might also work in Mono under Linux/Mac, but that is not tested. The application comes without support, but I'll check by this tread once in a while and if I can help you out I will. If someone should use this application commercially at a larger dropzone, a few jumptickets for the work would be appriciated, but not required.

The most exititing thing is ofcourse the smile shutter Finally one can blame the fuckups on the student... "Oh.. I guess you never smiled"

What exactly do you mean by this? The two parts that the QC consist of is not machined precisely enough, making room for some play in the connection. Its not a lot, and probably doesn't affect my pictures, but it is still annoying..

Since he has installed the Zkulls on the top, could you ask him if it would be possible to mount one on the side also? I'm very interested in adding a quick release to my sidemount

I have an XTi, on a rawa with the Goldmember QC. It fits and works nicely, and the battery can be removed without unscrewing the plate. The Goldmember has some play in it though, so I would look for another QC that locks down completely.

I just finished my last bottle of the famous Szörényi wine.. So see you in july!

Why?

I have no idea.. Depends on the construction.. There are two ways of optical image stabilization that I know of, one is compensating movements using the sensor and the other is my moving the optics. Depending on whats used on the HV10, this movement needs to be restricted and fixed permanently (thats where the super glue comes in) This is just a quick idea though, whether it will work I have no idea.. I'm sure there are people in here far more knowledgeable then me on this subject.. Even if you manage to disable the OIS, this may not fix the problems.

Uhm.. With a one piece suit you will have to A. Put your legstraps on after you put on the suit - killing all effect from the pants B. Wear your rig under the suit - make sure you unzip before you deploy

Yup.. If OIS is the problem, fixing the sensor permanently could work.. Problem is, noone wants to try it out on their brand new $1000 toy.. Here is a suggestion: Buy the camera and get the superduper-insurance (that will cover anything) Try the glue trick - if you fuck it up, run over the cam with your car a few times to cover all tracks then hand it in and get a new cam. Sell the new cam on ebay.. Who wants to be pioneers?

Somehow I feel a drop of super glue on the right place would do wonders on this camera.. Anyone interessted in trying? :P
