That's not entirely correct. The size/quality ratio of even expensive DVD
recorders isn't as good as a good multipass software encode, and if the
poster has plans to do any serious editing or other processing, a DVD
recorder is not particularly suitable. The only benefit DVD recorders have
is that they're relatively hassle-free if you just want a quick MPEG2
recording. |

The Canopus ADVC100 is a great unit. If you purchase an older model,
they will even remove macrovision. It has been reported that the newer
models have this feature removed.
As far a buying a recorder, that is an option although I don't know
about the "does better results" part. If you can live with generic
menus, chapter stops randomly placed, and not being able to add "return
to menu" points where you want then a standalone recorder will work just
fine. And they will not copy a macrovision protected program. |

Re: CANOPUS ADVC100 |

ON2DVD,
Now you are asserting that you are not allowed to comment on things you
sell..........
How in the world did you leap to that conclusion?
Each and every complaint I voiced to you dealt ENTIRELY with your
advertising messages on this newsgroup. There are newsgroups devoted to
putting things up for sale, and this is not one of them. As I discovered by
reviewing your prior post headers, you obviously know of them because you
advertise on them as well. Your posts to aus.ads.forsale are precisely what
such "forsale" newsgroups are intended for, and you obviously know that
since you post to them. All that I have ever asked of you is to keep your
commercial ads off of this newsgroup, like your most recent "Vegas5 + 5 DVD
traing disks" post.
You are as much entitled to express your opinion of different products as
anyone, and you may, in fact, be better informed since you have many
products to personally compare.
If you are an ethical person, you should reveal that you sell these products
and may be biased in favor of them for that reason. I can't imagine you
stating: "This is a terrible product that I sell......"

Re: CANOPUS ADVC100 |

To compare the ADVC100 to a DVD Recorder is poor, they do similar jobs;
capture video, but the ADVC gives better quality video without much
compression, it's easy to edit, and fairly simple to convert to whatever
format you want.
The DVD recorder is far superior to the ADVC if your not editing the final
result: And want a DVD result.
I often take video from my Satellite Box, and either watch the video on my
PC (from the Sky Box), convert it to DVD/ VCD end results - or convert the
video to XVid/ Divx format video. For many of these purposes the Firewire
capture box is more flexible, but more work.
As to the Canopus being the only option, this is not true - Pinnacle do a
Firewire DV MovieBox that comes with Pinnacle 9 for just about half the
price of the Canopus, it has almost the same functionality.

Re: How to Make a DVD from Photos?? |
|
|
Stay away from Nero VideoExpression. It is a terrible product. I tried it to
burn Photo Slide show and the image quality is so bad that I have give it up
and go back to Nero Burning ROM 5.5 to do the job. The Nero Burning ROM 5.5
may not have the bells and whistles. At least, the image quality is good.
I even asked their tech support and they admited the image quality problem
and told me to go back to old version if all I care is the image quality.

Pinnacle, Sonic MyDVD, even ACD See 6 does slideshows...

Spudy,
Go to the Ulead web site and download the trial version of DVD
PictureShow
3
Deluxe. I am convinced that it is now the best of the programs on the
market
for making DVDs from photo collections. A close runner up is
MemoriesOnTV,
and there may be others I am unaware of.
Despite a few minor wrinkles, DVD PictureShow has a wonderful set of
features, and does a single thing vastly better than any product I have
compared it to. Specifically, it has a "Fix All" button which instantly
takes an entire set of photos and makes all the necessary corrections to
brightness, contrast, color, etc. to make the TV slide show look superb.
I
have not found another program which has this feature, and decided to
upgrade from the earlier Ulead software based entirely on this new
feature
since it works so extremely well. Before I switched back to using
DVDPictureShow, I was doing all the corrections within Adobe Photoshop
on
a
slide by slide basis, and taking forever to do it.
DVDPictureShow also has the so-called "Ken Burns" effect, which it
lacked
in
prior versions. This method of panning and zooming photos, used by Ken
Burns
in his award-winning PBS TV series, makes a much more engaging and
attractive slide show than other programs which merely show the pictures
statically. The overall effect is excellent and also user programmable.
Check out the trial version and you will se what I mean.

Hello:
I have taken tons of family pictures with my digital camera. I'd like
to make DVDs from them. This means the DVDs should also have sounds --
say my recorded voice explaining each photo or a group of photos. Is
it possible? If yes, how do I do it? I'm very new to making DVDs --
please explain fully.
Thank you!

This reply has been thrown around so many times, even I am confused as to
what people have agreed on.
The camera does all the encoding to DV-AVI( DV25) internally using it's
chips. Then when you hook up the digital camcorder to your PC using a 1394
transfer protocol port, you merely transfer over the already digitized data
to your computer, and of course it is saved as a DV-AVI as opposed to other
types of AVI's, naturally.
But my original point was that the 1394 capture card, as some call it,
actually does no encoding, just transfers the already digitized video data
to the PC. Is this correct?
Now, who names it AVI? That is done as the last step in the Operating
System, naturally, as the file is saved.

It does not encode to "dv-avi." It encodes to DV25, which is not the same
thing.
AVI is a computer file format which can contain data in a variety of
formats, e.g. compressed, uncompressed, etc. The format of a miniDV tape is
NOT avi.

Yes, the camcorder transfers the data to the computer via 1394. No, it does
not transfer it in AVI format.

Yes, that is correct -- "capture" is a misnomer when talking about a 1394
transfer of DV25 data, as the term usually refers to digitizing an analog
video signal.
| Quote: | Now, who names it AVI? That is done as the last step in the Operating

|
The capture program places the DV25 in an AVI wrapper, not the OS. Win XP
Pro, I believe, has this capability built-in to the OS, but other operating
systems do not.

FWIW...
R.
I'll second the vote for Meritline. I've used them dozens of times -
great prices, great service. Checkout the 4-DVD case they have -
that's really great for saving shelf space.
Free postage on some products too - can't beat that. And an excellent
exchange policy - I bought some DVDs that proved to be incompatible
with my burner - they took em back, no questions asked.
|
How do you contact their customer service? I purchased their DVD
inserts. On that part of their web page, they had a link for a free
version of their DVD insert/label software. I downloaded, but it
doesn't work right. I wanted to send them a message, but I can't find
any customer support links on their web page. I did post a question
under their software forum, but there is no response yet (it has been
less than 24 hours, so maybe they will respond there).
In the mean time, if you know of a customer support email address,
that would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ken |
