Why not just get a power pack for your PVM? Could be as simple as a small car battery…

I haven’t used those new dual-channel rigs, but I’m happy with my Azden UDR 500.
The only potential drawback is that it isn’t a “diversity” system, so you don’t have the added protection from multipath cancellation of the radio signal that a diversity setup offers. On the other hand, the Sennheiser receivers aren’t diversity either, so if you’re happy with your Sennheiser, you should be happy with the Azden…and have two different audio channels as well.

Ed is right about the pre-set sizes, but you don’t have to accept the default. You can drag the monitor window to resize it, and as the window becomes large enough to accommodate the next bigger pre-set video window, it will enlarge.

BackTraxx is OK, but their overall collection is more oriented toward corporate projects than weddings and events. The collection includes two CDs especially slanted toward weddings.
If you like to do your own mix, their “StackTraxx” collections allow you to do so.
Here’s one low-cost provider (two day sale, Feb 1/2 only): https://stock20.com/commerce/index.php
And here’s another who has some wedding-oriented material: https://www.myladonna.com/cd-new.shtml

This works great, but be careful that you haven’t already tweaked the attributes of the target clips.
Vegas will paste any filters into the target clips, but will NOT overwrite any existing filters. So, if you’ve already applied color correction, the Paste operation will simply add another instance of the filter, with the settings from the source clip.

Some people question Gereke’s statements, since he provides no basis for them. The writer of that article is quoting an “authority”, but we don’t have any information on what the authority’s qualifications are, or the data that backs up his claims.
The studies I was referring to is the NIST work…thanks, I’d forgotten where I read it. But I wasn’t aware that their study only considered highly controlled conditions.
My own experience with discs is limited (heck, ALL of us have limited experience, the things have only been around for what, five years?) but so far I’ve had no problems except with media that’s been physically damaged. No rot, no delamination.

I’ve had some recognition problems on other forums when using a “nonstandard” browser (FireFox). Video University, for example, required a login at each visit, despite having cookies set.
I’m back to using IE.

Well, Ed will probably jump in here and tell you how to set the output to do what you want.
But, aside from Vegas, how are you making your cube? I would do it in LightWave, and use Front Projection mapping to project the video clips on the cube’s faces. Cropping would be taken care of automatically.

Modest? Not I. The link is: https://www.creativecow.net/articles/graham_doug/wedding_list/index.html
David and I also have an ongoing series in EventDV magazine which deals with the topic in more depth.
