I'm sure you meant well, I just don't think it should have been posted in this thread about the DVinfo 20th anniversary. It would be more appropriate to start a new thread in one of these forums, and...

I have been processing massive amounts of geodata recently and constantly have to do "housecleaning" to keep any free space across my two primary 2tb SSD's. So, this morning I dug out an old 2tb...

Re: The sticky rubber syndrome.
OK, I see. Yeah, I usually only see 70% and 90% at the grocery store. There's also denatured alchohol that you can buy in cans at paint and hardware stores in the US. I always assumed that was 100%...

Re: "Tripod Head Tie-Down"
I don't think there's really a conflict here. Based on those B&H Photo products, they are using "tie-down" to refer to the whole mechanism that locks the tripod bowl. So a knob is still a knob... but...

Re: Sony EX1 and Final Cut Pro 5 Compatibility
I don't think that is correct. But if you have already purchased FCPX on your old Mac, you won't be able to tell. In that case, it should allow you to re-download your old version. For somebody who...

If he's still running FCP 5 then that means he must be on a very old version of MacOS (perhaps something like Lion or older, but not newer than High Sierra). Although there were versions of FCPX that...

Re: Sony EX1 and Final Cut Pro 5 Compatibility
Final Cut Pro 5 is some really ancient software, I assume his Mac and version of MacOS is also ancient. I got my EX1 in about 2010 IIRC and used it with Final Cut Pro 6.x. These are all "legacy"...
