Get a bluray burner if you intend on burning discs. You can get one for not a lot more than the dvd writer you listed. And it will do dvd's, blurays, and CD's. Amazon LG Bluray Rewriter Personally, I'd spend a little more money and get a Samsung 860 SSD, 500GB Samsung has a very good reputation for their SSD's. I have two and I'm very happy ...

I had the same problem with my bluray burner. I did some searching and found a solution on the Tom's hardware website. Below is a copy and paste of what someone posted. It works for me, might work for you:  This is most probably a problem with the eject motor and/or it's sensing electronics.I HAVE the exact same problem with an LG GGW-H20L ...

Try exporting from AE as an mov file with transparency, (RGB+A). Studio should be able to recognize the alpha channel.  Joe  P.S. If that doesn't work, google for a free AE plugin called Unmult. Apply that to your effect and it will make the black background transparent.

Have you tried fast forwarding and then rewinding a tape before trying a transfer? It can't hurt to loosen them up a bit if they have sat for many years without being touched.  And they are subject to deterioration just from being in an uncontrolled environment such as humid areas or wide temperature changes. I think the estimated life span ...

I was curious about the OBS software so I took a quick look at a youtube tutorial for beginners. The instructor seemed to indicate you could record in mp4 format. Perhaps you can double check your settings. One other thought is to see if there's a utility for splitting your file into 2 or 3 shorter lengths before importing. It doesn't matter ...

Windows 10 Dump file info When I had a bunch of BSOD's on my Windows 7 machine, I went to https://www.sevenforums.com/ where they have a section just for help on BSOD's. I don't know if they can help you with a Windows 10 problem ...

In the notes the author says the program needs to have a blending mode such as Screen or Add, which would in effect remove the black background to reveal the image below. I don't know if Studio has such a mode but Studio can recognize some alpha channel videos. The file below is the #7 video with the alpha channel added. You can try it in Studio ...

The first part of this link will explain why transferring as dv-avi has always been my first choice. DV-AVI vs MPEG-2 You might not be seeing any difference because your initial transfer has already discarded a lot of data just to squeeze 2 hours of video onto a dvd. If Studio doesn't re-encode after you edit your files then they will look the ...

I've always made DV-AVI files when digitizing VHS tapes. It's a virtually lossless transfer which captures most of what's on the tape. MPEG-2 is a lossy codec.  The files will be larger than mpeg-2 but that's because each frame contains all the info needed to edit that frame. Once you're done editing, the final output to the dvd will be ...

It might be a good idea to use MediaInfo to see what's actually on the disc. I took a dvd that I have and MediaInfo shows a typical file like the attached. This was just one of the several vob files on the disc. You should see something similar.  I was also able to drag and drop the VOB file directly onto Audacity 2.2.2 and it loaded just ...
