Something has changed on the COW becuase I have not changed anything here since the old COW and this just started acting this way. I think it has something to do with the site being cretaed on a Mac and not having the correct settings for a PC display. I recall this happening in the past on a different web site a year or so ago.
The ads on the right are not a banner but three large rectangles that cycle thru ads. And the text doesn’t wrap only during the display of individual posts. The text in the threads listing does wrap okay.
cheers,

What I said is not about whether there should be or not be pop up ads, but that the ads are covering the text on the right side unless I make the text very small. And, I am on a PC. The COW used to display text that wrapped to avoid the pop up ads on both sides of the screen.
cheers mate,

It happens when reading individual posts. As if there is no word wrap seeing the ads on the right side.

Just tried it and it didn’t help. 🙁

But, the ads along the right side are now covering the text in all the posts. I now have to lower the size of the text to see the whole post and then the etxt is too small and hard to read . Word wrap? Old COW did not have this problem. PC using Firefox on a 19″ at 1280 rez. No problem with any other site on the internet with normal size text.

Alexander,
Thanks for the reply. I would think that it should at least fill up the full 720 pixels width of DV. DVD movies made for computers screens show full screen. It only records 704 pixels wide. I can easily crop it, but it then stretches to fill the 720 frame and I am concerned with the rippliung wavy look on verticals. Especially when the camera zooms and pans. It’s a washboard effect.
I did research the camera yesterday and found mnay sites describing problems with this camera and using these widescreen modes. They all say not to shoot in widescreen becuase it uses 4:3 chips and crops the top and bottom with a lower rez result.
I wasn’t on the shoot and I now need to edit all these tapes for a client and make it look the best I can. They want to finish on DVD, DV tape and VHS tape. They talk about possibly going to film, but I can’t see how this low quality can be blown up to film.

If I use the 16:9 Pan/Crop preset in the timeline event in Sony Vegas, the black borders go away on the sides, but the the subtle vertical rippling is still there. I need some help in setting up a proper workflow for edting DV footage shot with an XL1 in widescreen. I am also using a project setup in Vegas which is DV NTSC Widescreen, 720×480, 29.97, 1.2121 Aspect Ratio.
The best picture I have seen so far is if I use a normal DV NTSC setup with a .9091 aspect ratio and then use the pan/crop to squeeze the vertical sizing back down forming a letterbox look.
I have the feeling that the vertical rippling is from streching out sideways when using widescreen settings and it looks better (to me) resizing vertically like I mentioned. Where am I going wrong (or right) here?
Any help is appreciated.

Edit SD for now to just burn a DVD for project approval of rough cut. Client is shooting 1080i HD with the Sony 730 camera and he wanted to capture thru firewire and downconvert to DVCam. Save files on a firewire drive. Recapture in the future to edit full HD after approval.
I was told we could use a Sony JH3 player with the firewire option, but I was also told the quality would be better with a decklink card for the capture and downcovert. I don’t know. Looking for answers and solutions.
