Analog Video conversion to Digital

We use Studio 9 as a desktop standard for non broadcast desktop editing. Several dozen systems use the Pinnicle AV/DV deluxe for analog to digital ingest. As mentioned before, get at least a gig of RAM and a separate media drive. George

PLEASE HELP: Pinnacle Studio TV/Pro, older vs new

The old PCTV box was a windows 98 product and certainly does not have NT/XP drivers. The current PCTV cards are under $80 and work quite well. Choose the internal if you have the PCI room. George

PC Monitor/TV's

In answer to question #3. Yes, the Nextvision processor will feed your monitor. However, if you ever plan on importing video into your pc, it will not do that. This is a SD (standard definition) only switcher/processor. It may also inhibit some high end game playing by passing your VGA or DVI...

How to Connect VCR to PC

A good inexpensive solution is something like the Pinnacle Studio AV/DV software and capture card. I have built half a dozen of these systems for our marketing department and they really work fine. Check it out. George...

Going from a PC to HDTV

Then if your content is not HD and you have no intention of HD in the future, any VGA video card with DVI out should work for SD material. GT

Going from a PC to HDTV

How are you planning on capturing the HD content? Off air, cable, satelite, DVHS? Do you have a HD capture card? Take a look at AVSforum for good answers to Home Theater PC's. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=26 George

Burning videos on dvd

If you are running Nerovision express the MPEG2 DVD encoder is not included. Go to nero.com and purchase the encoder. That is what you are lacking. Also, read the users guide on how to acquire video and how to burn disks, format,etc. GT

Need help with purchasing an LCD

Coming from the broadcast graphics world, picture quality and clarity are more important than response time. I think you need to decide which is more important. Gaming or graphics. If it is gaming, then look for the specs as compared to picture quality. GT

Need help with purchasing an LCD

I would suggest the Dell or Samsung LCD's (same thing). More important than response times are pitch and contrast ratios. This is really analog when you get down to it and is quite subjective. As a matter of fact I recently used the Hyundai's as CAD monitors and was pleased with the results...

hd tv question

Westinghouse? Generally LCD's have not caught up to CRT's as HD displays. However, you are limited to the CRT screen size of 30something inches. A better place to ask and to do some research is AVSforum. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=40 LCD's, plasma's and rear screen are...

New build, which path to take?

I guess I'm in the same boat, but willing to spend a bit more money. My choice so far is the X2 4200 on a Asus A8N SLI Premium with 2G of OCE RAM (need some help here with 2 X1 sticks. Titanium too expensive). Two NEC ND 3540A's, three/or four 250G Baracudas and Matrox Parhelia APVe video card...

another mp3 player thread

I just shot a wedding this weekend where the videographer had the Sandisks in record mode using internal mikes placed on everyone. I listened to the audio, not bad. GT

Dual core vs. Dual Cpu

We happen to be looking at this very same question for next generation of Digital Media SAN's. Used for VOD HDVIP, etc. Broadband apps. Working with vendors to design rather large systems. GT

Driving/Racing Schools

I can certainly recommend Skip Barber. I took their school at Lime Rock and really enjoyed it. I don't remember which school I did at Pocono Speedway, but most large tracks have schools that use their facilities. George http://www.skipbarber.com/ http://www.racenow.com/a02_history.htm
