    [Paul Harb] “.stop while your behind….opinions are like, well you know the rest…..go get a job…. “

    Comments like that actually put you well behind. Personal snipes never get you anywhere or earn you any personal points from me or on this forum.

    Zane had a very good point. You posted at 11:58 pm eastern time for help. A little over one hour later you posted again. We are all volunteers on this forum and not at anyone’s beck and call. If someone was on the forums who had an answer for you in those 70 minutes, they would have posted. Obviously nobody had the answer you needed at that hour.

    If you want tech support guaranteed in 70 minutes or less I would suggest you invest in an Apple Pro Care plan.

    Hey Walter, sorry you decided to get involved with this one…..I have used your advice for years and your a great asset to this board….however your dead wrong on this one…..first of all my snotty comment was in response to his taking the time to chew me out, about posting at 10pm and expecting a response, which I did get by the way, as I always have used The Cow at all hours of the night and gotten tons of help out of late night situations….

    As far as getting behind….well…..I think Im doing ok….

    I found it ironic that someone would post late at night to bitch at someone for posting late at night….whats the point….thats why my response the next time was snotty…

    If he was responding to the way I capitalized my text the second time around….wow….I was just seeing if I could get someones attention who might have been browsing late at night and wouldnt have seen it otherwise and MAYBE they might be inclined to stop in and help….and guess what….THAT HAPPENED……

    So when you say Walter….that he has a good point…..I would have to say I disagree….

    that said this is all obviously a misunderstanding and I wasnt heated or anything when I posted that, I was being strategic in getting someone to see it…..hopefully you get that…seems like some other people sure did…..but hey, we all have opinions….

    Well thats where the misunderstanding is, and why I responded nasty to you….I wasnt upset at all…I was trying to do what I have done a million times before late at night in a crunch to get someones attention…if you took it as I was complaining, Im not sure what to say…..who posts on a board to complain about the board???!!!! I dont have time for that kind of stuff, so i think you just took my post the wrong way……I dont think we need to police everyone here and teach people how to use a public board….but thats just my opinion, and opinions are like…well you know the rest…

    Paul I NEVER said you should not post at night. if you read my post I said that you should NOT complain because you have not been given the help as quick as you think you should be given it.

    That is ALL.

    Your attitude came across very selfish. Think about it by posting again an hour later and basically saying hey where is everybody I need some help, it really makes you look as if all you cared about is your self.

    I do not want to get into a fight here, I am just trying to point out that the way you dealt with it can reflect poorly.

    There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
    Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

    Again, not sure who made you the Cow police, but thks for the heads up…..I think you took my post the wrong way, and i wasnt complaining at all……but I guess we just disagree……thks for the opinion though…

    Paul.
    What you see on the computer monitor is not reality for you (interlace articfacts). If it looks OK in the video monitor, then it is fine for output to tape or DVD. If it is web video you are after, merely deinterlace the video when compressing for the web.

    IMHO, it has nothing to do with changing fonts and has everything to do with understanding how graphics work in television. Seeing interlace artifacts on your computer and not seeing them on your video monitor is perfectly normal.
