GoofyTimL:EDIUS* Software should arrive Friday.  Not sure when I can get the PC built, or bought.  We'll see.  Still looking over the DIY info Phil sent me. Tim, I built a computer a few months ago, very similar to that DIY9.5 that Videoguys have done (see my profile for more details).  I made it primarily with Media ...

plemmens:Wanna have a first look? And how about a ''second look''?  This first hands-on review is from today's RedShark issue:  ...

As David Hunt said earlier, if the source of your cable TV signal can be, for example ''TV Out'' from the TV or from a VCR, then with a pass through-capable camcorder the analogue TV signal would be converted to digital by the camera, without the need of the tuner card.  If you can't find a driver, that could be a possible alternative ...

My old Sony DCR-TRV-210, a Digital 8 camera, does a very good job of analogue to digital passthrough conversion.  You should be able to pick one up for not much money.  There are many other models of D8 and even Mini DV or HDV cameras with passthrough (i.e. with analogue video/audio inputs), as BARYE has suggested.  The added ...

BARYE: not sure -- but Outlook Express is not a separate deployable application. You'd have to understand what files to use, and how to install them.  FWIW, I too use Outlook (which I don't pay for) -- but I actually prefer Outlook Express for its simplicity and familiarity... I agree with you, BARYE.  OE is much less ...

BARYE: VE7AXO:...stay with either my then-current Outlook Express ... but Win 7 (incomprehensibly) does not have Outlook Express -- Did you add it manually ??  Actually I am now using Outlook (got MS Office OEM version included with the computer) for e-mail.  However, installing manually might work for Outlook ...

For what it's worth, I heard from my local computer ''guru'' that Windows Live Mail is problematic and he advises to not use it at this time.  I don't know what the exact problems may be, but two months ago I upgraded to a Win 7 (64 bit) OS and that's when he suggested to stay with either my then-current Outlook Express or to use Thunderbird ...

Welcome back, Ingolf  

So, Microsoft plans on an update to Windows 8 with a Start button, a classical interface designed for a non-touch screen, all the things that customers have been clamouring for!  Well, I must be ahead of these futuristic developments because not only do I already have all these features, but I am one ahead of MS.  When I boot up my ...

For what it's worth, I recently upgraded from Win XP to Win 7 (64-bit) and now my Avid Media Composer sees my HDV camera (Sony HC7) as a ''Generic DV Device'' and won't capture.  My work around, until I solve this mystery, is to simply use Windows Movie Maker for importing the MPEG2 video from the camera tape to the HDD and then bring it ...
