I think I'll stick to the single-point stereo mic like the A-T...

I'll be heading through Purdy on the way for the 2th of July picnic at my mother's place in Belfair. No, not Sumner. This was off Road 22 NE, a couple of miles west of Marlin, WA, looking east over...

What is this, 20 questions?!

Maybe they're all taking a daily dose of "Dufus Factor".

Realistically, no. You can't get something that isn't there. About all you can do is add noise or grain to give the appearance of detail, but in no way will this look like sharp footage.

I agree on the bit-setting. Evidently it's to address the compatibility issues of the non-standard DVD+R format, which should, for all our sakes, just be allowed to die.

I have Premiere Pro 1.51, the Matrox RT.X100 and use it to edit video recorded on an XL-2 at 30p. I've seen some weirdness when using the Matrox DVEs, such as for a page-turn transition. I would see...
