Canon L1 Hi8 Camcorder, low hours, like new, includes 15X and wide angle lenses, several batteries… $1800 plus FedEx shipping Parkervision Cameraman XL: "The Electronic Cameraman", accommodates virtually any consumer or prosumer camcorder, offers automated tilt-pan-zoom via either remote control, or by auto-tracking the wearer of the lapel tracking unit,…
Erik, I don't remember how much those adapters are, but they're not much. The front of Redmond Cable's catalog is styled "The Weird Cable Company," and they have all those little things that you know exist, but can't seem to find a source for when you need 'em… Jerry
Erik, PMFJI, but re:
Erik, Thanks; I downloaded all 671K of that 5.0 driver file last night, and it does work better than the one that came with the printer. You're absolutely right about the paper making an incredible difference. I've scoured my town for the HP papers, and there are simply none to…
Lepido, It was the little automatic A/B switch causing the problem; works fine once I removed it… Thanks, Jerry
Erik, What driver did you say you were using for your DeskJet on the PC? The best output I've ever achieved on the PC, after tinkering with settings endlessly over the past 6 months, is mediocre… Thanks, Jerry
Hank, Thanks for the help! Jerry
Tom, The problem was my Amiga's incompatibility with the little automatic A/B switch that I was attempting to use to share the printer between the Amiga and the PC. After I removed it, everything worked fine. Thanks, Jerry

Trent, It turned out to be that the Amiga is just incompatible with the little automatic A/B switch; removed it and it works just fine, though the graphics printing leaves a bit to be desired! Thanks, Jerry
Erik, Thanks for the tips. After I removed the little automatic A/B switch that was supposed to allow the printer to be shared by the PC and the Amiga, it *was* a plug-n-play operation. Of course, the quality of the color graphics being printed out of the Amiga definitely leave…
Nate, On the printing problem, see my note to Erik… As far as how I've been: Been awful busy. In addition to all the traditional, exciting jobs for clients like videos for software training, furniture promos, etc., I've spent a lot of time over the past several months on my…
Henry, Yeah, I got the message you accidentally sent Fred over on the AmigaVend forum. Gonna try to figure out a way to use the PRT: setting, but by all means, if you know how, please tell me… Thanks, Jerry
Thanks, Wolf. I'll try getting rid of the switchbox, and using something shorter than the 25' cable that's on the printer now… Jerry
Christopher, > Yes. I have Imagemaster, but it gives the same results; just spits out page after page of crap. I thought of one more thing to try; I have this printer on an automatic A/B switch that also receives a feed from my PC. I'm gonna try running the…
Henry, > How do you redirect the printer through the PRT: instead? GraphicDump offers no options, and I haven't found any options in Imagemaster either… Thanks, Jerry
Nick, > Uh oh. My serial port is definitely used up already, and rather than go to the hassle of adding another, I'll just keep printing everything on the old PC. Sure would be nice to be able to print pictures right from the Amiga, though… Anyone else have any…
Thanks, Kent. If it's hardware problems, I'll just keep printing on the PC… 🙁 Jerry
#Amiga Printing: HELP!
Message #183101
Can anyone offer any tips on printing from the Amiga? Until recently, I've never even had a printer hooked up to my 4000, and have done all my printing by transferring everything over to the PC. Now that I've hooked up an HP DeskJet 550C to the 4000, I'm *still*…

Fred, That's a good question about how to get the text from a Toaster CG page. I can't answer it, 'cause I can't find 'em either, but it is a heck of a good question, and one that I hope someone jumps in and answers! Toaster does load the project…
Many thanks, Fred! I'll be looking forward to 'Tales from the Cockpit.' Ya'll have a Merry Christmas… Jerry
Fred, I see you got your question answered about the defragging of Amiga drives. Yes, I got your post about the conversion, and am passing it on to the person who needs the conversion done. I expect they'll send it to you, and thanks for the quick reply! Jerry
Fred, > Lighting and such does not effect the background image. > Yes. The only time this would not be true is in the event that you were using an image map to texture map the surface (from the color setting spot on the surface menu.)
Fred, I'd love to see a copy of that video; thanks! First, no light settings will effect the background image in LW. On the surfaces issue, I fight things like this all the time, and it mainly involves a lot of trial and error for me to get it right.…
Denise, The 2-field grab simply grabs half the picture information of the 4-field grab, which has a lot less detail and quality. Its advantage, which is probably why you're using it, is that you can grab something with more motion to it without getting the jitter. You might try grabbing…
Jim, Just wanted to let you know of another reader that was _extremely_ pleased to see the latest VTU looking more like the old ones! Jerry
I charge $75/hour plus all associated costs, for everything except travel time, for which I charge $50/hour. On the associated costs, like tape, narrator or talent fees, I charge a modest markup…
Don, Having followed this thread for several days, and other of your threads in the past, I must admit that your posts often come across in a _very_ arrogant manner, at least IMO. Perhaps you have more than enough business, but the attitudes I've perceived in several of your posts…
Denise, Glad to see that you're busy doing weddings. If you don't have any luck finding live footage that you like, you might consider some stock photos on CD-ROM. I picked up a Corel PhotoCD sampler the other day with 100 royalty-free high-rez images on it for under $15! They…
Fred, You're right: TPaint is kinda limited. BUT, since I've used it as my primary paint program for about 2 years now, I've grown quite accustomed to it myself. My first tip for capturing photos is to crop, zoom, and position within the camera as much as possible. I do…
Brent, For layering purposes, is there a way to record an edited clip directly back onto one of the source drives? For example: Could you take a clip of video, super a title on it, then recycle the titled video back through without going to tape and digitizing that clip…
Fred, Thanks for all the Flyer details! How'd those little picture croutons look? Jerry
Michael, You might want to jump over to the BP+ (Broadcast Professionals) forum, as well. I think I remember seeing a number of notes over there that were very critical of the stability and dependability of both VM and Matrox. While I've personally had my share of trouble with the…
Fred, Since you have the larger drive, as Frank suggested, you can move a lot of stuff from the Toaster 3D directory over to the other drive. Your paths will get kinda screwed up, but that's minor inconvenience… Also, for the record, the Toaster software runs fine on hard drives…
Aki, > You are correct. Jerry
Fred, No, there's barely any room left on the 120 MB hard drive after Toaster 3.1 installation. I personally wouldn't recommend deleting any Toaster files myself; think of it this way: even if you did that, and got by without having to buy another hard drive, the solution would be…
Michael, Lots of good advice here from the other guys; one more way to accomplish the nice, clean talking head is to 'shoot for it'. I've used this method several times myself. Just shoot the talking head in the upper (right or left) corner, then design your graphic screen with…
Steve, Try 'Wrap to Sphere', select the points to flatten out using volume, then use QUANTIZE to perfectly place those points in the same plane. That should work, I think? Jerry
Fred, Yeah, I understand that the highest level of quality in the Flyer will consume about 1 GB per 6 minutes of video; of course, to edit 54 minutes of source material, it's gonna take TWO 9 GB drives. Still, the total system, if delivered as described thus far, is…
Joe, Yeah, the explanation of ground looping that I gave came straight from Newtek; i.e. there should only be ONE connection between the chassis of the Toaster and any single piece of equipment, ostensibly that one connection being the ground provided by a video cable connecting the two. Of course,…
Many thanks, Steve. You wouldn't believe the number of explanations I've had about what constitutes a ground loop. The most common explanation has been that a ground loop is created when two pieces of equipment, that are grounded to each other in some way, are connected to different electrical grounds.…
Thanks, Wayne. I'll be watching for the upload ! Jerry
Wayne, I recently spent untold hours attempting to create a realistic looking outdoor scene; never did do that well at it, either. I, for one, would be THRILLED to take a look at it! Jerry
Dusty and all, I'll give more details when the problem is worked out, but it's only fair for me to say that I have now had considerable attention from Newtek's highest levels, and believe them to be extremely committed to helping me solve the problem. More later, Jerry
Steve, No, the closest cable TV signal is around 40 feet from this room, and is no way connected… Thanks, though, Jerry
Wayne, Why not upload that scene to the 3D library over in AmigaArts?!? Jerry
