| I tried to view the videos at work, and it was a 'no-go', the window came up this gobbly gook character stuff. No video. I'm on a LAN and that might be a problem. I'll have to check it out from home.... |

Are you saying you clicked on the link to one of the videos and instead of a video you got a new web page full of seemingly random characters? If so, your browser isn't properly set up to open Windows Media Player when a .wmv link is clicked. You can always copy the URL of the video file, then open WMP manually and open the URL from there. |

Another thing you can try is right-clicking on the link and choosing "Save Target As". That will allow you to download the video as a direct file. Problem is, you may not have an updated Media Player to play it. I suggest you update Media Player too. |

love the close up on the girls mate.. 
what kind of camera you using ?
brand, ccd? etc...? |
I am using a Panasonic Mini DV-Cam -- consumer camera I bought for about $500 in the USA a year and a half ago. It's not even one of the nicer progressive models. There are better cameras out there for the money now.

Dunno if this will boost yer camera confidence, but those min-cams were the bee's knees at NYU for the last 5 years. Students wanted to sign 'em out just to play around that popular, so that's cool.It's a reliable, cheap camera.
Cute site.
Cheers,

Yeah, they are a pretty good little camera. I'm a fan of Panasonic products. I steer clear of all Korean electronics now. Total garbage with no quality control -- except Samsung phones.
I would love to have one of the newer progressive-scan models, so I don't have the little lines in my video. It's hard to see the lines with the online videos (they're pretty small), but it does effect clarity a bit overall once it's compressed.
A 3-chip camera would be great too. |

I�d wait a while on the new camera. Eventually there will be affordable 24fps 3 chippers out there and you�ll have professional stuff. Check out Akihabara in Tokyo when you go to Japan on a visa run.
On some other thread you mentioned wanting DVD-R and only finding DVD+r or DVD+-R. Stick with +, amigo, as � is on its way out. It isn�t as adaptable as +R and most companies with their external and internal drives, copies and digital recorders have embraced +R. If you must have �r then go for a -+ DVD R writer.

I've been thinking about the NEC DVD burner that is a combo. I also have read that "+" is a more accepted format by players.
by 24fps chip cameras, you're saying they look more like film? Same size format too? Interesting.... wonder how they could duplicate that. I haven't read anything about cameras for a while, since I got mine. Am sort of afraid to, or I know I would not be satisfied with mine. hahahha
Have also learned that the Korean companies originally supported + drives. Maybe they helped develop the format? |

Hi Derek,
I have 7 DVD players (PS2 region free, a region free set-top, a Region 3 ,a region 1, DVD+RW, a DVD Recorder, and a DVD Rom) and the DVD-R format has been very problematic. All of the DVD+RW of movies played fine on all but the PS2 (it won�t handle any burnable media) and the Region 1 (it was the first Sony out of the gates in �96 and it is picky about recordable media).
Taiwan does more with the DVD record drives and recordable media and I think they embraced the +R along with Japanese partners. I don�t blame them: sturdier discs.
The 24P make for sharper picture and easier to convert to film. I was able to play with one at NYU a few weeks back and was floored.
Consumer cams are underrated. Really, Don�t feel bad. I actually prefer that they have gloss but grit to them: a video Super-16mm me thinks.
Some 24fps Digital camera films: STAR WARS EPISODE 2, WILD ZERO (great Japanese zombie rock�n�roll �jet� movie), ONCE UPON A TIME IN MEXICO, SPY KIDS 3-D, and parts of GHOSTS OF MARS. WILD ZERO was the cheapest of the three and looked fantastic projected and most laymen couldn�t tell it was shot digital when exposed to the DVD (taken directly from the digital source � not a film print).
The 5 grand Panasonic I got to play with was sweet. I saw a demo of the SONY alternative and was equally impressed.
Cheers,
Joe
PS: There are a handful of DV features shot in Korea and they looked prety good - and that was when the medium was primitive. |
