Is Arri`s Blauvelt, New York location preparing any Alexa demonstrations? Although e- mails to the Blauvelt location have been kindly answered they always ask Michael Bravin`s location to finish the answer. I`m just hoping that history doesn`t repeat itself like the Nagra- Ampex VPR5 where the salesman in the Nagra showroom in NYC told me that the reason why they didn`t have any VPR5s for sale in the NYC showroom was because no VPR5s had ever sold in the Eastern half of the USA in all of the past years. Maybe scheduling an Alexa demonstration if possible in the hotel Pennsylvania demo a couple of days ago (althought the notification e- mail came late) or a couple of other local haunts would be nice.

Matt, since you are making wedding DVDs you are making in bulk. Although my own Pioneer DVD – DL “burners” are doing a good job I have to admit that recording pairs of regular DVD discs is better, and putting them into two disc hub type “jewel cases” is a “nice touch”. As far as printing on top of DVDs, try hand rolling on maybe a very thin layer of Craig Film Cement (made by DuArt Projector Co., Connecticut?) then print on top of this thin layer regularly.
Best Quality DVDs
by Matt Kirkright on May 18, 2010 at 11:38:57 pmI have been producing Wedding DVDs for 2 years. I started out using Sony DVD-R printable discs. I have since gone to DL and started out using Verbatim DVD+R DL Printable discs as these were the only ones I could find that were printable to the hub. The burn speed was only 2.4x which was a bummer as I wanted something quicker.
I now use Intact DVD+R DL discs which have a maximum burn speed of like 10x. I am however, noticing that I am having quality issues with pixelation in parts. I cannot confirm if it is the discs.
My question is, what is the best DVD+R DL ink jet printable (to the hub) disc on the market and where can I get it? In addition, has anyone ever had any issues with Intact?

As Apple prepares and makes it`s new Operating System, it has to bear in mind that the OS has to be prepared to accept an internet browser of current needs for those (very many) Users who go internetting. Internet attacks, and the permissions that are supposed to simmer them down to size are problems that pour into the browser even more these days than being dependent on the OS. This still makes these problems appear in the Tiger 10.4, Leopard, and Snow Leopard OS though. Next time, do a clean files backup and the fresh install. You`re still ahead of the Windows experience.

A good trick, I`ve used it, but that particular method stems from the days when platter coatings were first cousins of varnish. Heads usually don`t stick to platters anymore. Try putting the drive on a table magnetic side down, circuit board up. Aim a fan at the circuit board. Fire it up and wait a little while. The idea is to get the circuit board extra cool and the magnetic side to it`s pet temperature, sometimes warm, sometimes not. People have been known to unscrew the lid of the drive and go over the plates with a camel`s hair brush, or grab a water pistol and shoot the plates with isopropic alcohol (not if they`re the old plates) or carbon tetrachloride, then fire up the motor for only a minute with them wet. More likely, the top method, or getting some identical circuit cards to try, is much less desperate. Have you replaced the bios battery on the motherboard and the cables to the hard drive? There`s also Drives Solutions in California, amongst other rescue places.

Chad, I don`t have a clipper tool installed on any compu. I don`t have the avatar picture trimmed down to 72 x 72 pixels yet.

It depends upon the purpose, Hester. What if what you want to grab is smeared by a take longer than 1/80,000 of a second?

Don`t worry about the one- man blacklisting Chad, he`s only running after you with a paintbrush full of tar! Just wait until you have to sell all that extra programming you`re now making more efficiently. Programming sales consortiums anyone? 🙂 🙁 🙂

By the way, Satchin originally stated he wants to make HD video at a refresh rate of “HD 24P 1920×1080”, both 24 frames and fields as progressive, and as 127 MBytes per second. The listing Bob picked is probably for HD 30 P 1920 x 1080 as 157.7 MBytes per second. Sachin should determine if he`s better off with which of the two according to which out of 24P or 30P is his primary programming market and which is his secondary. Some Cameramen shoot at 60P to make least picture artifacts in both markets. (And there`s the 29.97 matter).

I also see “PhantomCineToolkit by GlueTools” if your stop motions can be done in software.

When doing it in studio situations, using a strobe light (lights and mirrors?) with a continuous roll take, then pulling the wanted frames might be the answer. In ambiently lighted situations like outdoors, a “sports” type TV camera or high speed film camera is sometimes used. And a strobe wheel shutter (right name?) in front of the camera is not unheard of.
