June 30, 2011 at 2:54 pm in reply to: DTS audio problem

Hi James,

I think your issues are relating to the fact that you’re listening to the 8 tracks on two speakers (my assumption since you didn’t mention any technical info) which are meant for 7.1 so 7 monitors and one sub channel. So what you hear is NOT what you get because you do not have the proper monitoring equipment and it might not even downmix properly to your two monitors.

If you think your setup is correct and you have done this before I’d run the clip through the cinema’s audio system (which would have to support DTS obviously) and have a listen there – if it’s still weird give the person whoever gave you the clip a ring and ask about the specs.

Addendum:

Direct url for USA charts: https://www.sennheiserusa.com/findFrequency/?00002

It allows you to enter a city / zip code and a radius and gives you a full list of frequencies.

Another source to cross-check frequencies is Sennheiser’s directory:

https://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/home_en.nsf/root/professional_wireless-microphone-systems_frequency-check

(Be patient as of now it’s loading a bit slow for me, took a while for the country drop-down to show up)

Good luck!

Hi Atticus,

I just tried to replicate what you’ve been describing but found that the delete and delete all commands work fine for me.

I’m running firmware CAM 1.09, ARM 1.05 and EEPROM 052 and using SanDIsk 16GB Class 6 VideoHD cards.

Curiously I’ve never seen any kind of BPAV folder on a JVC camera, if I’m not completely mistaken those are used in the Sony EX1 etc. so what I can only assume happened is that you have used that card previously in an EX1 or similar camera without formatting. Could that be it?

Hope that helps,

André

June 26, 2011 at 10:22 am in reply to: Using 2 separate mics with G-HM440

Hi Melissa,

From what I can tell your camera has only one audio input jack so attaching two microphones without using a mixer is not a possibility. However you can get a small 2 channel mixer that you route the microphones into, pan one hard left and the other hard right and ouput that into the camera. That way you’ll have one microphone on the left track and one on the right, making it possible to extract them later to edit.

Hope that helps,

André

Hi David,

I’m not sure this will help you since it’s Mac only but I think you can achieve what you are trying to do with the little brother of Filemaker which is Bento.

For more info: https://www.filemaker.com/products/bento/

Bento has a very active template sharing community which might be able to help you out.

Good luck,

André

Hi Jonathan,

Obviously the issue is not with the physical DVD and also not with the data on the disc if it plays back fine. The only thing left to check is MPEG Streamclip itself. I’d give other software a try such as Handbrake which is free and see if that also comes up with a read error.

You can get Handbrake here: https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

Good luck,

André

Hi John,

“fortune” is a relative term but one thing that comes to mind that might do the job for you is the product lineup that Drobo offers. Have a look at https://www.drobo.com

Alternatives are LaCie’s and G-Tech’s product lineups.

Hi David,

you might just have to go back into Color and create a render specifically for DVD output. Tone down the reds dramatically and maybe do a few test burns to get it just right on a DVD-RW.

Good luck!

Hi Casey,

the number one tool that should be in every photographers toolkit is this item:

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/259157-REG/Giottos_AA1900_Rocket_Air_Blower.html

It’s safe, easy to use and lasts forever.

Good luck!
