Bill, Gold Disk is in either the multimedia vendor forum or the graphics A vendor forum, I can't remember which one. John
Arnold, The Miro BBs number is 415-855-9944. To check your current version go to your contl panel, open drivers click Miro M-JPEG, then setup. It should tell yo what version you have. John
Bill, I don't want to sound like I'm harping on you at all. But, doesn't the Truevision require a special type of of compatible computer slot? EISA? John
Frank, One problem with the IBM card is that they no longer make it and will only support it until, I believe, 5/95. I was going to buy a IBM card until I found this out. As far as flicker goes I have a minimal amount with my Miro. Play…
Arnold, a) Print to Video- First off the video you see on the tv monitor at capture is not the quality of capture, only the loopthrough, if that was the quality of the board they would charge alot more than they do. after capture in video studio or pemiere play…
Marc, To print to video you must hit ALT-TAB to bring up your task manager, select the miro display option then select PRINT TO VIDEO and LOOP THROUGH (if you wish) This enables the output. I had the same confusion about mine but finally figured it out. Good Luck, John
Marco, the Miro also comes with Premiere, I just had to send in the registration to get it. John
David, As far as I know, there are no PCI cards out there yet. I heard a RUMOR that Miro was working on one. John
According to Adobe, bundled premiere cannot be traded up without the upgrade cost 149.00. This is due to the vast upgrade in the product. John
David, as I stated to someone else, M-JPEG captures at 320×240, then, interpolates to full screen. The causes some degree of pixilation and " jitters ", but the Miro is the best that I have seen, and the only one I've kept after seeing the results. I have tried the…
Mike, yes I cpture full motion. The drop frame rate of the Miro is almost nul. John
Mike, I use HI-8, only because everybody has recomended it, so I have not use composite that much. From what I see they are the same. Feel free to ask away, I'll help when I can! John
Can't argue with that! John
Mike, I am using 1.1a and eagerly awaiting 4.0. I currently use a Pentium 90, 16 Megs of RAM, 1 1 gig eide hard drive and 1 1.7 gig drive(scsi) my video card is the Imagine 128bit card. This system is a screamer. 2 minutes of video editing with chroma…

John, no I haven't. But, I would imagine it would be a bit " jittery " based on basically stationary subjects. John
Tilford, I don't set a data rate, some would advise against this, but the quality of my capture has been great. Out of 6200 frames it dropped only 19!!!! I can ive with this and te quality of the playback. As far as scan converters, I use theAITech Multipro CTV.…
Order it from Computer Discount Warehouse. After making the cal and paying shipping, you'll still save ALOT of money! Good Luck! John
The video quality does pixalate. The m-jpeg compression scheme uses interpolation to achieve full screen. but I've used others and this is the best so far. John
Right now I'm working on a non-commercial video biography of the CEO of a company. With premiere I chroma key photoshop BMP.s' with the name of the person talking and fade between BMPS of the CEO throughout his life and video from the miro. The audio syncs well enough for…

Try Computer Discount Warehouse #1-800-326-4239. I got mine 2 weeks ago and they still had 4 left. Best price around too!$531.00. So far, it has limitations, but I really like it. John
Thank You Vincent. I'll give 'em a call. John Dolan
On second thought zach, not that scandisk is bad, it might be that Renderize is attempting to access an area of memory that is already occupied by another application. I would maybe reinstall Renderize and Reduce my Swap file ( this helped me get going) Or do what I did…
Zachary, Have you tried scandisk? It sounds like you have a corrupted sector on your hard drive, Scandisk can determine this for you and in some cases fix it. Good Luck, John Dolan
Rixon, You have to have a sound card to capture the audio portion, but, the files are saved together. When you load a clip into Premiere, for example, the audio also loads. John
You might want to try the latest drivers that were uploaded to Miro's U.S. BBS on Dec. 21st. Their Number is 415-855-9944. I have not experienced the flicker problem YET!
I purchased my DC1 at CDW for 549.00. Next week I start to use it for some serious work. I'll keep you posted. It is a pain to get it up and running as far as installation goes, but, my tests on it so far have been great.
