No, it’s quite consistent. It’s just 3700K instead of 3200K.

Todd,

I was scrolling through the forum and saw your post. I was curious maybe you could answer. I got one of those 200w bulbs from coollights with a softbox. It was rated at 3200k but really runs at 3700k.

Do you find that the bulbs you have are consistent? Or if they change color temp after som use? They couldn’t tell me anything at coollights when I called and seemed kinda bewildered.

I’d like to know if I order more bulbs like these what to expect.

Thanks.
Alec.

Hi Larry,

Thx for your answer but I’m afraid it doesn’t quite answer my question. My Blu-Ray recorder disappears as a piece of hardware after a while. For example, I could be burning data disks all day long (I actually do that sometimes, making media backups, and since I use LTH type media it takes a while) using Toast. However once I stop doing that after a little while the system does not see the burner – I can’t open or close it, forget burning disks.

I suspect it has something to do with the IDE to SATA power converter but I’m not technical enough to know or understand why/why not.

Considering how much trouble it was to make it internal and now to run it like that, I should’ve spent extra $100 for an external enclosure.

Danny, thanks.

That will be probably quite beyond the scope of my work right now, but I’ll keep it in mind for the future.

Alec.

Danny,

I need to set up chapters to play individually and come back to the menu, with end-actions. I already set it up with Chapter Playlists and it worked in preview, it worked on a PC. But I found out it did not work on set-top Blu-Ray players.

So I think I’ll have to export individual chapters and create a Playlist with all the chapters put together. I cannot put both individual chapters and full program on the disk, the full program runs over two hours long.

There is no third way, right?

Steven, thanks!

Did the “reputable store employee” say that SanDisk made inferior cards to Delkin or some other manufacturers? What brands are more trustworthy?

Personally, on a shoot yesterday the 60MB/s Sandisk held up without a hickup. 30MB/s crashed. In hindsight, it was a major brain-freeze on my part to be using a 30MB/s rated card knowing that the video is recorded at 46 MB/s

I posted today on the same topic. Couldn’t figure out the ordering of posts on this page.

This happened to me this weekend on a SanDisk 30MB/s card. Lost pretty much all the footage from the shoot. Good thing it was a B-camera.

I did the research on restoring the files. Treasured recognizes the media in the files, but I can’t pay their prices, at least not on this project. I’m looking into using something like QuickTime Atom Viewer 2.0, HexEdit, etc.. to rewrite the headers/footers myself but I’m not betting on success.

My big question is – HOW DO I AVOID THIS IN THE FUTURE?

Is it the camera, am I doing anything wrong while shooting, is it the card that I need to trash? How do I prevent this?

[Alec Gitelman]

I apologize.. My browser was messing up the order of the posts, I did not see the same topic come up earlier today.

[Alec Gitelman]

I understand, in this case I was just swinging the camera around from shot to another.

I see the skew. I’m curious what causes those lines extending from the silhouettes appear.

[Alec Gitelman]

this may give an idea of how fast the pan is.
720p24
shutter – i’m guessing 1/48 but i wouldn’t say for sure.
