#126546-#Problem Uploading Files
Message #126608
This would be caused by the entire forum running out of blocks in the library. Steve handles that, and I'm sure he has noticed and requested more by now. It is quite likely that we won't get them before Monday, though. Sometimes there's no one around to handle the request…

Please check Silent Paw's library area…I cannot upload our latest pictures of the PAWS units. I keep getting an error saying there is not enough room for this file. However the JPEG is only 50K. Please respond back with a reason for this problem. Thanks Shawn Silent Paw Productions, Inc.
#126029-3DS import problem
Message #126509
Wow, you've given lots of information. If EMM386 is reporting errors in RAM, it means that you probably have some sort of RAM problem, ranging from a faulty RAM chip to (as you've figured out) simple mis-configurations in CONFIG.SYS. If you've got it, I'd recommend using WinNT. 🙂 Simply deleting…

3DS import problem
Message #126029
HELP!!! I not sure what's happened, but my system (windows-for-workgroups 3.11) hangs when I try to load a 3DS file into the modeler. I had been using Lightwave REV A with excellent results importing 3DS (version 1 thru 4) meshes. However, as soon as I upgraded to REV B, my…

I'll have a new submission form sent to you immediately. If you don't have it within a week, please send me another note. I believe those misc/ textures are in Wavefront .rgb format. You're right, I haven't heard of many tools (except those that ship with Wavefront) that can parse…

Two things, John. First, I have yet to receive the paperwork for submitting my Moon Oject for the latest Syndesis CD collection. Address here is Pat Mullet, 7320 Garfield Rd., Freeland Mi, 48623. Secondly, could you tell me what graphic format the textures in the MISC directory in the Sysndesis/Avalon…

You never can tell, can you? When I chose 'Laura' for my daughter, I didn't know of any other couple with a child of that name – but within a year or so, it seemed to be everywhere. I guess it's time had come. I like your choice – and…

When we picked "Caleb", we thought it was going to be a unique, uncommon name. When we dropped him off at day care for the first time, we were told there were at least two other Calebs there. Later we learned that there was a character on a soap opera…

The baby is still in the hospital – a week today. They hope to bring him home tomorrow. Every time I see them, they have 'decided' on a different name for him. I do hope they come up with something sensible! —Betty

I just now noticed! That's what happens when you try to do too much too fast! Not a good day for me, in some ways. My son's new baby arrived last night, a full month early, and has a few temporary problems – but costly ones, and he has no…

#122443-LW4.0 Intel-When?
Message #122538
Thanks for the offer-I have other choices in-house, like 3D Studio and Animation Master. Actually I'll be using all three in the final production-3D Studio for the special effects, Animation Master for the character stuff and LW (I'm impressed with it's rendering beauty). I'm producing a 30 minute video for…

Message #122537
Norman, I just spoke to someone with an A/V (gold) 9G who said that it has worked -perfectly- with the Flyer and he's filled up 95% of the drive. My 9G A/V gold was working well until it got funky and then died totally. It is to be replaced (hopefully…

Micropolis drives

Hank, I'm changing the topic of this thread, hope you don't mind. My drives don't really make noise, but I noticed something strange just now. I have a clip on my non A/V drive that will only play in a project when it is cut to. It will not play…

Sam, The SuperCam is nice, but from what I hear, before the end of the year the new digital cameras from Sony, Cannon and Panasonic will cost about half what the SuperCam costs, with quality equal to BetaCam SP. I'll believe it when I see it. I've heard that the…

Barry, With carts going at $125, the MO drives don't seem very cost effective. How much is a DAT tape — $10-15?

All, Thanks to James Hebert of Newtek an Chuck Baker, I now have the proper procedure for grabbing and displaying screens from the Flyer interface. This would be a useful procedure for anyone wishing to grab their project to display thumbnails and printouts. The GrabbIFF utility is required. Run GrabIFF…

Message #122519
At public performances without special arrangements, setting up a sync mechanism of any kind is somewhat difficult. In these particular circumstances, the second camera is shooting wild footage. Syncing could be done – if there were a way to bring both sequences up on screen for visual identification and, even…

Flyer future consensus
Message #122516
Hi David, Been keeping and eye out for review of Perception, etc. but haven't seen any reports from people with complete, integrated systems. You need separate software for the audio portion too, so full integration, like the Flyer, may be a ways away. If there are more questions as time…

Hi Jerry – It would seem that with the musical group, you would first want to sync the two clips. (Isn't this a two camera shoot?). Many videographers here simply set off a flash which can be seen by both cameras, and that becomes the sync point. Then they adjust…

Message #122511
Wow! Hope this pans out as compatible. I'd guess that these drives should be no different than a standard harddrive. But I don't know if the Amiga bus is friendly to Flyer file format/clip transfer. Let's hope that's an option. Affordable large-Gig harddrives open up lots of possibilities. I think…

Rick, Bang for Buck, the PAR is hard to beat! Single frame is great, but cost prohibitive if you're a small company. The single frame controllable deck alone could run you 20K. The Flyer is having some problems with LW rendering to it's harddrives. I'm not a Flyer owner so…

Mark Don't know much about AmigaDOS but that seems kinda strange at any rate. PC DOS has (or had) directory limitations. I haven't had the occassion to load that much onto my Flyer – yet. What's troubling is that I played back 15 minute and longer projects in 4.03. Now…

Amen to that!! Hard drives (and software) are just too volatile. I could never sleep knowing that my only camera original was on a disk. As tempting as it is, I'll stick to tape for origination or, at least, safety copy. BarryVedros ISI
