WiWhiz asked:


I have a P3 with a tuner card installed that I am using as a DVR (Digital Video Recorder). I bought a secondary HD that I am planning on using just to store the video files, keeping the original HD as my boot disk. My question is, what is the best way to config the second HD, as a slave on the primary channel, as the master on the secondary channel (with the CD-ROM as slave),or as the slave on the secondary channel? the performance of the CD-ROM is not important, it is rarely used on this computer.

Essentially I live in a small townhome and a rash of buglarys have started to happen. The neighbor at the end of my street house was broken into. He now has gotten a buglary alarm from sloman's sheid with all the services. I am kind of under the impression based on what I've heard that the police kind of come real late anyway. I notice you can purchase the diy type of kits. The home monitoring services are real cheap some are 8.95 a month. I was also curious about just doing a camera setup get like 5 cameras and put them all over the place outside and record with a DVR (digital video recorder) in the attic. The cameras are real cheap on ebay. Anybody had any experience with these systems..... Really is it all worth it....

I am using a JVC Digital Video Camera (GR-D90, GR-D70, GR-D30 is on the front of the book that came with it). I'm trying to upload it onto the computer and to put it into windows movie maker, but it cannot read the camera. This is my first time really dealing with this camera, so can anyone give me a detailed explanation of how to fix this? Thanks so much

Hi, I am looking for a supplier of this item or a similar item, this link is on ebay and its far to expensive.. but it shows the idea of what I am after, its a Hard disk external enclosure for ide drive or maybe even a sata srive would also do me.. It can record from an input video..

Hi. I want to record music concerts in digital video, then upload to final cut pro or something to make it better, and integrate it with high fidelity sound recorded separately. anyways, ... what is a good camara? does it have to have specific output formats? Is the ability to record "in high definition"... a worthwhile consideration? any and all comments really appreciated. I guess analog video tape recorders/cameras are totally out eh?

thanks

Is there a simple way to convert MP4 video files to DV AVI Type 2?

zombie_keech asked:


I have MP4 files from my digital video recorder hooked up to my TV
I need to edit the files in Premiere Pro CS3, but apparently this stupid application will only recognize audio if it's in a very specific format: DV AVI Type 2

I don't even know what DV AVI Type 2 means but I really really need it.
I used tottal video converter but the trick was there was a certain TYPE of AVI file that CS3 needed in order to recognize the audio. It was trial and error to guess what type to convert it to.

That's how I solved my problem. It wasn't a codec issue or my speakers were off like 90% of the tshooting forums said.

UFo asked:


all you people along with the rest of the world ever says is use an external microphone. well i'm wondering if ANY digital voice recorder would work. I'm talkin webcams, handheld video cameras, digital cameras' video recordings [with audioo duh:]]]] or even just a cheapsy digital voice recorder?? what exactly aree the specifications for a good evp recorder? and i'm not talking accessories. if you mention an external microphone i just might eat you.
OH and say you had a digital voice recorder, would you need a program for your computer to extract it or somthing? some help would be appreciated:]
thanks so much you don't know how important this is!!!!

DVR-DVD Recorder – Single Unit?

February 23rd, 2010 DeanRichards 1 comment
rocky asked:


I'm looking for a Digital Video Recorder on which I can burn my own DVDs. I want to be able to do this without having to transfer files to my computer. It should be one self-contained unit. It should not require an additional subscription fee for TiVo or any other DVR service.

So basically, what I'm looking for is a DVR that acts like a VHS recorder so I can keep DVD copies of the stuff I enjoy watching.

Does such an animal exist?
