Just to make sure I own the best possible source of this material to
transfer to MD, I bought three more Cyndi Lauper CD's today.
From Tower for $9.99 I picked up the 2000 remastered rerelease of the
1983 album She's So Unusual with three extra bonus tracks. I think this
release is significant
I just listened to the Cyndi Lauper She's So Unsual newly remasterd CD.
The sound stage is vastly better than the original CD. It's like
listening to a different record altogether. Stereo spacing is excellent
and the only muddiness and the harshness that remains was intentional by
the engineer.
I just made a Cyndi Lauper compilation MD using various digital and
analog sources mixed on the MD. The material I copied from is as
follows:
Compact Discs
Cyndi Lauper-She's So Unusual
Cyndi Lauper-True Colors
Cyndi Lauper-The Best Remixes (Import)
DVD's
Cyndi Lauper-Twelve Deadly

Hitachi announced a DVD camcorder at CES. However, I wouldn't get my

Christopher I really appreciate those calculations you made-they sound
like they make a lot of sense and took a great deal of thought. Doesn't
sound as though current MD video will convert to high quality film very
well. Would it even be possible to use a standard IEEE1394 Firewire Link
on that
Yes, I have noticed problems with this format as well as all other
consumer grade formats that I doubt the DV Cam could improve much on. No
matter what I do, even with the TRV900, colors are never completely
accurate and video played back on TV comes much closer to looking like

I don't understand. What do you mean by needing a laptop with 4GB to
store titles? If you mean for the purpose of keeping a word processing

memory or the discs themselves, you're right. There's no way a Psion or
Palm could

I wrote a long letter on this subject yesterday but it somehow got lost
in the great confines of the universe, so I'll try again. It is very
common for me to run out of space when titling discs because I use
titles like these:
WAITING FOR TONIGHT (Pablo Flores Miami Mix (English)) / JENNIFER
It depends on the disc as to how many songs are used before full name
capacity is used. If I have an important song with 200 or so characters
needed before the title is complete, I "code" the really comparably
horrible songs at the back of the disc with titles like "333B14"
(Meaning Hit Disc
A Psion or a Palm simply would not have enough memory. At one time, I
had the entire HitDisc library stored on word processor (but name, title
and location only.) I think there were about 25 or so 1.44 MB discs
