[Brian Louis] “You can try to extend your mini HDMI cable by using a HDMI Female to Female adapter and another short HDMI cable, I don’t know if that would cure your problem but sometimes DVI to HDMI can cause problems”
Thanks, I already got the female to female adapter and the result is the same as with the DVI to HDMI configuration.

Kevin, while the GTX465 is not on the supported list, it’s probably just because they haven’t tested it thoroughly yet, but it’s a very powerful card that I’m sure will be on the supported list soon just like the GTX470 is now.
Regardless of that, I don’t see the point of editing with just one monitor when you need a full screen monitor to preview the video with the right colors and levels. The main monitor won’t give you that.

Actually I just found out that the H2 has plug-in power, but it has to be turned on from the menu. The catch is that it works only for stereo microphones, if you plug in a mono microphone nothing happens. So hopefully, if it exists, I’ll find a lavalier stereo mic.

No, but I meant I’m not interested in the Minidisc format whether it records to ATRAC or PCM, my Zoom H2 records to WAV as well and not only 44.1 Khz like this Sony, it can go up to 96 Khz and 24 bit, not that I ever use that much.
Basically if I could find a recorder like the Zoom H2 but that worked with standard lavalier mics I’d be happy.

Looks nice, but too expensive for me right now and I don’t like the MD format, I would prefer to stay in the SDHC card format.

Thanks for the advice. There is one powered lavalier mic by Audio Technica with a design that is suitable for my use, the ATR3350. It’s powered but the power unit is very small so it could fit well in a pocket along with the Zoom H2. However, at $25, I assume it must not be even decent quality. But I kept looking for similar higher priced alternatives and I don’t see anything with that design, so I might give it a try.
However, I was also thinking, what about getting another pocket digital recorder with a mic input that will work fine with standard lavalier mics, such as the Lectrosonics that I was planning on buying? Are there small digital recorders with a mic gain high enough to work with standard lavaliers? If so, which ones do you recommend that are low priced?

Thanks, Jon. I’m sure it’s not a limitation of the Blu-Ray spec, since DVD Architect doesn’t have this problem at all. I don’t understand how can Adobe software have such a bug and not fix it, since there’s no reason why this should be happening. Even worse, they don’t even warn the users that they might encounter this bug. In the Encore help (https://help.adobe.com/en_US/EncoreDVD/4.0/WSF49EA5DB-3743-49c2-9831-F66328B192F8.html) there’s no mention of it, from reading that you would think that it works perfectly well.

Thanks, Jon. I’m sure the loop point problem is not a limitation of the Blu-Ray spec, since DVD Architect doesn’t have this problem. At the same time, DVDA has very poor support for h.264 and doesn’t accept certain files that Encore does without problem.

When I go to this Sennheiser website where it allows you to find available frequencies by area (https://www.sennheiserusa.com/FindFrequency/)one of the things to select is “Att.” (attenuation, I guess?) and it has a list from 0 to 60 dB, 0 and 10 with the word Outdoors between parenthesis, 20 and 30 with (mixed) and 40 to 60 (Indoors).
What’s the meaning of this? The one that’s selected by default is 30 dB, should I do the search with that one? It seems that the higher the number, the more channels are occupied.
Also, I searched for local restrictions on frequencies and I couldn’t find anything both in my city’s website (Raleigh), and in my state’s website (North Carolina). Am I good to go with just buying anything not in the 700 Mhz band, or do some cities have further restrictions?

Thanks for all the replies. One more question: of all the available frequency ranges, is it better to get a system in the higher range such as 626-668 Mhz, or the lower range like 516-558 Mhz? Does it make any difference at all?
