>>I'm uploading the "DOS Beasty" under the filename "ILM16CAP.ZIP" hope you find it useful. There is a text file in it that explains my capture "technique".

In Msg # 1297, in the Videography section, Ken McNamara said: >>>Maybe we should start a thread "Illuminator 16 and Personal Producer"?>I don't use Tempra at all. I tried it a few times – it doesn't display properly on my monitor (TV) and parts of the menu are always off…

Hi there Dwayne, >>> Do you live in the shadow of the behomoth?

>>> What do you use yours [Illuminator-16] for?
Larry, >>>LTC is more robust than VITC. VITC is written at a much higher data rate, and less of the tape is used for the timing information.
Robert, I'm not sure I made myself clear. >>three 1024×768 screens of information suring into a funnel

Robert, I think even the 3000X2000 pixels of true-color in 'consumer' resolution's going to beat out the Betacam. My S-Video looks shameful in comparison. Perhaps the important question is what's the capacity of your video board to output this image to Betacam? Essentially, you've got the equivalent of three 1024X768…
Howdy Michael, >>>At this time .WAV is only supported by FAST through the DP/R.
Great idea. Aside from everything Ridley Scott has ever done, there's one shot in the 1980's remake of DOA that I'll always remember vividly. Here is how we learn that the doomed protagonist's wife has been having an affair: she's attending a formal function naming the winner of a prestigious…
Hi Lewis, Content production for non-profit groups is one of the areas that interests me. Perhaps you could describe how projects get off the ground. I imagine you are commissioned by the organisation, or do you go through a bidding process? Do you ever 'market' ideas, scripts or product to…

My understanding is that pretty much only the QT runtime has been ported. You still need an Apple to create/edit video? Am I misinformed? About BillG. You've pretty much hit the nail… And, apparently, there are no filters on his email. He reads every item sent to his inbox and…

>>> I have 4 gigabytes on my computer and I need to buy some kind of optical or tape back up for all of these pictures that I am scanning.
RE: 32-bit applications Be aware that all '32-bit native' applications are not created equal. While simply recompiling with a 32-bit compiler can enhance performance, if the programmer's don't spend a considerable amount of time reconsidering their architecture and rewrite code explicitly for Win32 then the result won't take much advantage…
Well, not everything the Redmond Behomoth does is good. The Registry is, though. Since you ask, appropriately enough I left Microsoft on April 1 of this year, for good. Three years before that, BillG liked Network Courier so much he bought it, the company that developed it and me along…

>>> I am obviously thinking documentary, but then again, with the variety of content on TV today, maybe you can come up with some shorter, more targeted segments that may be marketable.

>>> As far as the AG 455 goes I don't know if I like it as much as the 450 but with the VITC it works great with VM.

Hah! Finally! An illuminator-16 owner! Pray tell, what are you using it for? And in conjunction with what other h/sware? Patrick.

Oh do I remember being in just your state of bewilderment. I'd suggest hitting the books. "The Desktop Multimedia Bible" is an excellent resource with bottom-up discussions of all the technologies you're getting yourself into, starting with the plain and simple physics of sound, light, electronics and building up to…
Hey, a hometowner. Are you aware of the existence of CI*SR (Centre for Image & Sound Research)? It's mandate, through private and pubic funding, is to support the collaboration of artists and technologists in developing technology and artistic expression in the new media. Not quite the corporate environment, but it…
>>> Why are there so many formats? Some of them are promoted by private parties with vested interest in recruiting people to their platform and technology (AVI) while others are promoted by public, non-commercial entities, or some are in-between.

It was about 5 or 6 years ago that everyone was lamenting the _addition_ of INI files to the already deplorable state of CONFIG and AUTOEXEC files in PC computing. The NT registry is a cool and beautiful thing. Everything you want to know about your system is accessible from…

I'm a new member. Recenty I gave up programming Daytona Registries (see WinNT tools topic) for BillG and have since been travelling about the Land Downunder collecting audio/video (Canon UCS5), images (Ricoh 500F, an old bomb proof 35mm fully manua range-finder with dynamite lens, bought in Brisbane) and trading thoughts…
Hmmm. Many professional photofinishing labs provide this service. And many one-hour labs will play middle-man between you and a service provider. Check your local yellow pages under photofinishing and let your fingers do the walking. Cost varies significantly depending on the resolution you require, whether the film is processed and…
