I'm new to the group.  I've set a goal to finish a documentary my best friend
and I started several years ago.  Bill, my best friend, gradually declined in
health, then passed away last year.  So I really want to do this documentary,
not only for me, but for him as well.

I'm just now putting together the software, etc. to get this huge job done.  I
have over 30 tapes of raw footage, now on cd backup (original footage is all on
videotape.)

The cd's are in .VOB format and chaptered.  My Windows Movie Maker doesn't
recognize the VOB format of course (why should life be that easy?), so I've
downloaded several types of converters from online.  Some let you use them a
little, some not at all.  I want to eventually purchase a converter, but on each
one I've tried so far (including the free one -- VOB2MPG) I get an echo on the
audio.  It sounds as if the talent is talking in a large empty room. I know the
original footage does not sound like that.

I really don't want to invest in software that gives me this "echo" effect.  It
might be me.  Maybe I'm not adjusting some audio quality.

Any help as to a good converter, audio ideas, maybe even a more flexible movie
editor, etc. would be much appreciated.

Thanks. After trying several options it was as simple as connecting a 3' coax
patch cable between the RF output of the HDMI box & the RF input of the VCR.

I'm at witts end. I want to put my photos on a disk and play them on my tv. I
have Picasa 3, and Xilsoft video converter (on trial) and am having NO luck.

There are amplified spitters out there that would be able to
compensate for any loss in signal strength, these are usually called
CATV distribution amplifiers. That's an option but you may not even
need to split your cable signal. There's a better approach to this.

Take a look at the back of your new HDMI converter box which must
have analog audio-video outputs on its back panel, they'll be little
round jacks called RCA jacks, there are three of them. You can now
connect the audio left and right along with the video out from the
cable box and into the audio-video inputs, or 'jacks' your LG VCR-
DVD combo should have on its back panel.

You can grab a patchcord from Radio Shack that has the three
connectors built into one combo cable fairly inexpensively.

Connect your LG combo unit that way and then make a brief test
recording onto a VHS tape then play it back. That way you can
confirm that the audio and video is making it OK to the LG unit.

Also you can hook up a small TV to the output of the LG unit so you
can tell right away that your audio and video is properly patched in
and you're able to once again make a recording on either a tape or a
disc.

The best part is that you will be pleased at the improved quality
your recordings will have when using an audio-video cable in this
new setup.

Please keep us posted on your progresses and let us know how that
works for you.

As a Comcast cable customer in New Jersey I enjoyed the ability to
burn discs of commercial-free movies that run on PBS on weekends. The
cable was connected to the input of my LG DVD-VCR box & its output
connected to the Panasonic CRT color TV.

I recently invested in a 46" Panavision plasma TV followed by having
Comcast install a 20-channel HD box. This I recently upgraded to a 20-
channel HDMI box.

While I can't complain about the quality of the video, I had assumed
that the LG box would still function in the new setup. Wrong! After
burning a disc of snow, I took the system apart & found that now the
cable goes into the HDMI box input & not into that of the LG box,
which only has its output connected to the TV. I switched the
connections around & found that running the cable through the LG box &
then into the HDMI box didn't work. I had to switch back to the
Comcast configuration.

My question about this to the installer got the reply that I had to
use a splitter on the cable line in order to burn movies. I am
reluctant to do that as I'm afraid that the splitter would only
degrade the great quality TV signal. If I have to use a splitter, I
would appreciate a recommendation on makes that would present the
least loss. (My ISP has a splitter made by Extreme at the house entry
point to split the TV & broadband cable modem signals).

Thanks in advance!

I am interested in learning how to colorize monochrome or black & white
video. What kind of software or plug-ins might I need to achieve this
ability?

semi_nativefl

It's probably good to have a selection of different ripper softwares
available, as I see an assortment of success and faliure rates among
differend DVDs and rippers and how they react with each other.

Good stuff, eveyones machine is different.  Those programs I
suggested work fine on here, as probably do the ones others
suggested on their machines.

Nobodys perfect, PC permitting!

I've recently found Wondershare and I'm giving it a fair try. So far
it seems to be outperforming anything else I've ever tried before.
No jerkiness in the video and quality is decent. We may have a
winner with Wondershare.

I urge y'all to give it a try too and share feedback.

Strange. I have gone thru several versions of DVD Fab, uninstalling
old, reinstalling new, and have never had a OS reinstall problem...

Just a word-to-the-wise note based on personal experience, if you
ever go to re-install DVDfab when it breaks just be prepared to re-
do your Windows OS too as it appears DVDfab's uninstall process
deletes files that are needed to run your OS. System locks up and
when you go to re-boot there's no Windows.

Fortunately I know how to get back up and running rather quickly but
it's the trouble of having to do so because of a faulty software.

My main production machine has a power supply of 450 watts, that
oughtta be enough to cover what's needed, I'd imagine.

I have tried files that appear jerky in a multitude of players
including VLC and good ol' media player, still jerky.

I'm thinking it's a framerate conflict that could be causing the
problem but I could be totally wrong on that theory, some ripper
softwares simply don't provide for a selection of differet
framerates.

Are you certain the jerkiness is not being introduced at playback due
to an underpowered machine or improper codec?

Have you tried the files on various machines and with various media
players?

DVDfab is about the only software that has ever worked worth a darn
for me, that is 'when it wants to work.'

The main problem I run into with DVDfab and most of the other
softwares that have ever even worked at all is jerky video. I don't
know, perhaps that could be related to a setting issue that I'm not
yet prevvy to or just exactly what, but the jerky video has been the
primairy bug I have encountered with these ripper softwares.

What could be the cause of jerky video on DVD rips and what's the
cure?

DVD Fab Platinum

Inexpensive, easy to use, converts to many formats, updated
frequently, rock solid results.

I use it almost daily.

I have used 'DVDdecryptor' and 'DVD2one' in the past with good success.  Just
google them if you have problems finding them.

Neil.

What software or softwares have proven good and reliable among users
in this group for extracting video from DVDs?

My prior experience with ripper softwares has been corrupted rips and
jerky video or video out-of-sync with audio.

So far I have tried several and not really impressed with the
performance of any of the ones I have tried, but what is indeed the
right ripper software to refer to?

Hi Michael here

I have a need for a service manual so I can find out what the voltage
should be after ac is rectified from the power cord. It is a simple dc
supply board and I am guessing 140vdc after rectification. Any input
would be welcome.

Thanks for the answer in advance

Not sure what quality you wish to broadcast, but some of the higher
end webcam programs can indeed 'broadcast' or stream live video.
They are more suited to surveilance systems really, but if you're
only using one channel, they might do the trick.

otherwise, I found this app:

streaming-Internet-IPTV-TV-Default.aspx

Let us know how you get on.

That could very possibly be the case. Try uninstalling all but your
most favore of the video editing softwares and see whether there are
improvements in your systen's performance.

I've used virtually everything that's out there, from windows movie
maker up to edius pro. I usually use premier pro or vegas though.

I know certain programs can conflict when installed on the same
system, so maybe that's where your going with this?

I've been using an empty IDE drive since and it's no different.  I
believe it to be a codec problem as the vista machine plays the
videos fine with it's own media player.

Maybe as all my hardware is newer and bigger etc I am expecting to
see hi-def out of standard def.

Try going back to using a regular IDE drive in place of that SATA
drive, IDE has always seemed to be stable enough for me with video
capturing and multitrack editing.

What would be the cause of a noticeable amount of bubbly-looking noise
around words, graphics and titles in video on an HDTV display? The
display monitor is fed via HDMI cable, however I have noticed this too
while viewing direct reception of broadcasts via my local cable
company. Any suggestions?
