Is ARBY the only one that....?

[arbycoffee]

TJ you could do Your TZ in action, super cool!

[Tony Junior]

I had planned on doing just that too, Arby!

[alexilla]

My site's bandwidth limit is 50gigs a month and it is only at 4 gigs usage, so KNOCK YOURSELF OUT AND UPLOAD THOSE VIDS!!!!

[alexilla]

Oh and I forgot to mention... there is only 1gig stoarge left so if you can, edit the vids and compress them so we can fit more in. Or, keep them between 0-50 megs each. Ill be sure to let you know if we are close to exceeding capacity.

[azlew]

Ok here are the upload/download directories :

PACHISLO VIDS :

PACHINKO VIDS :

Thanks again Alex and don't worry it is all being backed up and a backup site may be available if your traffic gets too heavy

A quick update on my progress with video.

All goodies are now installed n my computer.
Discovered my USB is the old 1.xx
Bought new 2.xx USB card to install inside computer today.
Neighbor can't come over to install it, he cut his foot kicking a screw --- that was not loose but still screwed in.

Nephew Kyle and I both have to work Friday and Saturday video taping a beauty pagent.
I did a quick test with a video we took last Sunday.
It all worked!
Almost.
SOMETHING the kid (not nephew) put on my compuuter adds a "dancing elecard" and a note that say 'my evaluationperiod has expired to please contact mooonlight.co.il ...'
(Anyone have any ideas what this might be?)
In the meantime I discover the software that came with the ADS video capture device does not support .MOV files my little digiral still camera uses, which means I can't edit the videos I have already taken.
(Anyone have any suggestions on software for editiing Quick Time (MOV) files?)

Yesterday, a day off, was spent setting up lights, viideo equipment and sound system for the pagent. (We filled up a 14 foot U-Haul truck with all that equipment! Plus we found out tonight that we are shy 2 camermen for Friday, and one for Saturday.)
Fortunately we still have another that WILL be there both nights!

In the meantime I have to try to figure out what that %#$%^&(^$##$!!!%^& moonlight.co.il is all about and get rid of it --- when I have time!

I have the same MOV problem with my Kodak digital still camera, Tony.
Fortunately (???) the video it shoots is crap.

What kind of camera(s) are you using for your videos? Are they miniDV with firewire? Or Digital8? Or Hi-8?? Or VHS????
Man, when I got into it for the school, I was frustrated for weeks, if not months before I found the right stuff to do a pro shoot. God bless ya!!!

We ended up with a Pinnacle DV500, Canon XL1, and Medea Video RAID SCSI drive before it was all over. But we put out some NICE stuff.

Let me know, and maybe I can point you in the right direction.
But, if the truck is loaded, and the shoot is this weekend... you must have a pretty good idea of what you're doing.

[dark]

I have a DV cam and I'm getting my first pachinko this weekend (drm). Since not much is known yet, I'll make some videos of it for everyone


Tony, btw, that dancing elecard thing is your mpeg2 decoder from elecard.

If you uninstall it and use another mpeg2 encoder/decoder it will go away.

Just look for moonlight elecard or elecard mpeg in your add/remove programs in windows.

For anyone that has the time, patience, AND the money...
Video editing can be a lot of fun, and quite rewarding.

I can highly recommend these guys for great stuff and support.
Sometimes you can beat their prices on things, but when you figure in the tech support that you WILL need... they are a bargain!
Support is a MAJOR part of a video editing purchase.

Even if it's just for the reading of the "Handbooks" and "Cookbooks" and other research and reviews on their site, it's worth checking them out.

They handle amateur, pro-sumer, and pro stuff.

Just remember, the more you spend there, the less you'll have for pachis.
And sometimes the learning curve is pretty steep.

That's what I have for a digital still camera, LP. A Kodak EasyShare DX4530. I didn't even know it took video until after I got it home. You're right, the video isn't the best by a long shot, but it's no worse than video's I've seen on eBay.

What kind of camera(s) are you using for your videos? Are they miniDV with firewire? Or Digital8? Or Hi-8?? Or VHS????

I also have an old JVC compact VHS camera that does a pretty fair job for home use. Nephew Kyle has 4 Panasonic Pro Reporter cameras that are just too much camera for me to use. They're old, but very good.

Since the little Kodak is so darn easy to use, I'll probably use it for quick, short videos. I'll use the JVC for better quality when I can.

As Sgt. Schultz used to say, "I know nothink, nothink!" I'm an old B&W still photographer, still have a couple of Contax RTS cameras with many lenses, that I last used a year or so ago, but they're still cameras. This amature video is all new to me!

God Bless you, Dark! I sent you a PM with more questions.
Please help this confused curmudgeon!!

Looking forward to videos of your DRM!

[Tony Junior]

BTW, I started to buy a DV camera a couple months ago. Spent the money on pachis instead.

Dark, what format do the newer digital home video cameras use?

Anybody?

Times are a changin'. I had a darkroom just a couple of years ago but now it's all digital. No more Contax cameras, Kodak won't be making B+W paper after this year, and I just read that Dixons (big camera chain in the UK) won't be selling 35mm any more.

I'm no video expert but I think mini DV is still the standard, but there are several dvd camcorders out now.

Just to let you know in advance... If my site goes down for a little while, it is because I have to update my CC info for my site. So to let you know in advance there may be a chance of downtime soon. Thanks for understanding...

Thought I would update on my progress. But before I do I want y'all to know I'm way behind on readding or replying to posts.
Anyway, the only thing I have left to install is the DVD writer program.
Computer said everything was fine.
I finally got rid of the "dancing elecard icon" thanks to Dark!
Was going to test the new 2.x USB card with a home-made video, and got nothing, nothing!

With the old 1.x USB I got video and sound.

I just did a cold reboot and came here first to let y'alll know what's goiing on. I'm really too tired to do any more tonight with less than 3 hours sleep last night//morning and working all day.

So, if you experts have any suggestions I sure would appreciate them! It's just now 7pm and I'm going to bed!

[Tony Junior]

Bump

[Dazzyman]

U checked that u have the drivers installed? Also if using XP have u got service packs installed (as they update USB 2.0) etc...

[Tony Junior]

Got it working...again!

Now comes the "easy" part...making the videos. :burnout:

[dattia]

Good for you Tony....go get 'em!!!

[luckydog]

It's amazing what a good nights sleep will do for you
