[CGUYS] Video Codec Work around
Ok, for those of you that are interested: The Problem: Video shot on my new JVC GY-HM100U High Definition Camcorder in the MOV format was not accessible through either QuickTime Pro or Vegas Video Pro 9. Could not view, edit, trim, etc. The solution: Purchased from Calibrated Software the CalibratedXDQ.qtx codex (XDCAM). Installed in QuickTime Pro. Did editing needed (just trimmed front back ends) and saved as MOV file. I then was able to do what I needed to do, which was just archiving the shoot for my own records. The client has Final Cut Pro which was the reason it was originally shot in the MOV format (that was to save them time as far as workflow is concerned. The format is native to FCP). The camera uses SDHC class 6 cards as a medium and that also saves them a boatload of time when it comes to capturing the video. Just pop it into a USB port and toss it onto their hard drive. When I shoot in MP4 format, I don't have any of the problems I encountered. Thanks to all for your input. Tracy Foust **An Excellent Credit Score is 750. See Yours in Just 2 Easy Steps!

Re: [CGUYS] Video codec search
Thanks for the advice but I already discounted the I give up and quit solution to this for the time being. I was actually looking for advice as to address the concern from a technical point of view because periodically I have to shoot in the MOV format due to the requests of others and I would still like to do work on the files for my own archives. Still looking for the ACM Codec if someone can assist. Tracy In a message dated 7/11/2009 8:11:22 P.M.

[CGUYS] Family Project
I have a daughter that has become intrigued by online gaming. In order to further her interest, bond with her and (hopefully) to save some money, we want to make a family project of building a gaming computer for her. We have Comcast Cable as an ISP. I have built a computer before (for the office) but the details of a gaming computer needs are a bit arcane for me. We think that we can keep the monitor (LCD) she has. I am under the impression that we start with a case and a power supply (400W or better). After that, I think that the component parts of MoBo, CPU, hard drive, graphics card and operating system need to be picked as to best compatibility. This is where my knowledge begins to lack. Can anyone give me a flowchart process for picking the parts and assembly that would be a good jumping off point for this project? I know that you can always spend more money but I would like to see options and places that we can cut corners. I work in the entertainment business(on the audio side) and often have to suggest upgrades to PA systems for musicians to get the most bang for their buck. My general rule of thumb is to buy the best equipment you can afford that is the human contact point (Best microphones, best speaker cabinets). Is there such a rule of thumb in the gaming computer world? Tracy Foust **A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

[CGUYS] Neighborhood security cameras
OK, looking into the world of 1984 and Big Brother. Vandalism in a residential neighboorhood has me looking into possibly putting up an array of video cameras that can watch the streets to get a handle on groups of people cruising the street and ripping mirrors from cars and trashing mailboxes. I am looking to cover a street between 1/4 and 1/2 mile long. Anyone have info regarding : How a group of homeowners might do this? What would we need to set up in our homes to get the video? How can we access and record the video? What kind of money are we talking about? Tracy Foust **Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

[CGUYS] DVD/CDRW Not recognized
Hi, All I have an HP zv6000 laptop, running XP home version 2002, service pack 2. Installed in the laptop is a DVD/CD burner (Original with the laptop)that is no longer being recognized by the laptop. When I put a disc into it, the green activity light on the CD tray lights up, the CD seems to spin for a short period of time and then nothing. The optical device does not show up in the device manager. I have had to purchase a USB outboard drive to burn CDs and DVDs. Any thoughts on the matter? Thanks Tracy **Start the year off right.
