Appreciate it, Noel. I frequently overlook the CraigsList option. Haven't heard of Kijiji but I'll check it out.

Thank you for your heresy, Robert.
Actually, my first compression scheme was a 600 MB file at 4,010 kbits/sec (I assume that's equivalent to 4 mpbs?). I've got lousy ISP out here in the boondocks,...

As always, Jason, really good stuff. Thanks for taking the time--and having the patience--to answer what must seem like some pretty basic newbie questions. Very helpful.

Makes sense, Alec. Thank you. I was just really thrown when I saw them standing so far apart. To complicate matters, she was extremely soft-spoken. As it was, I laid some ambient noise under the...

Thanks, Noa.
What model/configuration of iriver do you use and/or recommend. Just Googling it, I see everything from $70 to $450 USD prices.

Our First Wedding Video

My wife and I finally took the plunge with our first wedding video. One of the many things I learned on this one was to mic both the groom AND the bride. I had assumed his mic would pick everything...

Dil, we're already over my pay grade here, so take this for what it's worth... I keep the WB on auto in low-light situations. Don't know if that's the way it should be done. I'll look to see if...

OlegWarm is the bomb.

I'm with Mark on this one. I use the "olegwarm" almost exclusively. (I used it for a wedding this weekend.) In some low-light indoor shots it doesn't work so well. But for natural light and outdoor...

XLH1 Servicing

Matthew,
I have similar issues with Final Cut. Generally, I am able to have FCP recognize the XLH1 when I quit FCP and then restart with the camera on and in "VCR" mode. It's frustrating, but I have...

Very nice, Oleg.

By the way, I have been using your "Oleg Warm" preset for two years. It is my favorite preset for warm, saturated tones.

Thanks for sharing.

I'm on a Mac and that's right. Compressor comes bundled with Final Cut Studio and does an excellent job. You can also create custom presets once you finish tweaking.

Is Flash still the most popular format for web video?

I would like to try some newer compression schemes but my largest client seems hopelessly stuck in a Flash world. Here is an excerpt from an e-mail their IT person sent regarding web video:

Is there any difference in quality between footage shot on mini HDV tapes vs. a DTE recorder like Firestore's FS-4Pro HD?

No question about it. The biggest difference between XL1 and H1 is focus. Whenever possible, avoid auto-focus. What appear to be slight variations as the camera "searches" for your focal point are...

The elusive "pop"

OK guys, I did it with Graham Nattress's Big Box of Tricks. I applied his "G-Contrast" to my footage and it "brightened" it remarkably. It may be that, because I used the OlegWarm preset from Oleg...
