I’ve been looking to pickup a new laptop and have looked at a couple of Qosmio models and didn’t notice any cast to the displays, basically neutral, have you tried to look at it under different light, sometimes the type of ambient light can affect the display, some CFLs or florescent bulbs can cause a cast to a displey.

Yes

Usually the camcorders come with software to rejoin and copy the files from the media they are on to the harddrive.

Using XP with firewire you could try “HDV Split ver.77” its a freeware utility you could download and try.

You’re welcome, good you got it on the first shot, sometimes you have to play with manuf descreet drivers for the firewire chips

[Jeff Pulera] “Ah, Canopus did that to stay below the dreaded 2GB file size limit I believe”
The old canopus codec was based on VFW not Direct Show, the newer versions of Storm did regular capture so it would work with the early versions of Ppro. -
There are no drivers to install for firewire cams, they are included in DirectX

Did you use the DVX100 before on this machine? if not you may have to go into the device manager and change the driver for the IEEE1394 controller, try whats called the legacy driver

[shai malul] “trying the edit a sequence in the ppro cs5.
and every few min’ the program is stock and NOT RESPOND any more”
We can assume that you are trying to edit something, but what kind of footage and you should also note more info on your system, like your harddrive setup and how many, etc -
[Mike Van Veen] “I don’t know if it was LP, but does that matter for playback? And why would it play in one camera, but not two others?”
You can tell if its LP by the lenth, if they are approx 60min length on 60min(up to 63 depending on the tapes) they are regular, if 80min long on 60min tapes they are LP, reason is DV LP tapes are notorious for playback problems when played back on decks or cams other that the original and sometimes problems even on the original. Also the original cam could have alignment problems which could cause it to act like a LP tape, I would see if I could borrow or rent a sony DV camera or deck and try to playback on it, sony’s have a very good servo system that sometimes can keep a bad tape on track.
