CDs use 16-bit 44,100 Hz audio, video uses 48,000 (or even 96,000) Hz and 24 bits. Use Audacity, the free cross-platform audio editor, to convert among those formats.

Re: Archive for Subcompact Cameras OK, I'll bite . . . . Who's "we" and why did this "we" post the same message three times?

AMD-64 3200. That was all I could afford when I was building my computer about a year and a half ago. It is in the Antec Sonata II case, which is the quietest computer case in the world, ideal for people (like filmmakers) who deal with sound recording. I actually just went by this guy's advice...

Re: What email client do you use Eudora of course!

The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari Talking of The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari, you can see (and download) it here.

Nice! Thank you very much.

Re: VideoCamera for shallow depth of field The Red One. It feels just like a film camera, but it is ultra-high definition digital, with four times the resolution of HDTV. Its digital sensor has the same size as super 35 mm film. It uses the same lenses as regular 35mm film cameras. So, you get...

What determines a cmos camera's viewing angle? I would presume it is the same as with any camera. That is to say, its being cmos should have nothing to do with it. So, then, the viewing angle would be determined by the distance of the pinhole from the film plane and the size of the film frame...

Re: festival submissions Re: festival submissions I find that site extremely confusing. It talks about all these things it will do to you, but does not give out any actual information about it.

If you are just burning the DVD yourself, no. If you have it professionally replicated, it can be copy protected the same way most DVDs that you buy movies on are copy protected. This FAQ mentions the types of copy protection for DVD. It also says:

No problem. The editor and the codec, they each do their job separately from each other. The codec knows nothing about editing, the editor knows nothing about compression. So when the editor reads the data from the file, it asks the codec to decompress it. The editor only sees each frame fully...

I said no such thing. That codec is truly lossless. If you are a computer engineer who has studied compression (and by the way, I have been programming computers since 1965), why is it so hard to comprehend that compression can be lossless. It is very simple: You take some data, compress it...

Yes, all data is still there. Data compression works because data is redundant, so a long string of data can be expressed by a small string of data. Indeed, we do it in our everyday language. Instead of American Automobile Association, which is a string of 31 letters (including the blank...

It's not so much what software as what codec you should use with the software. And for that, I recommend to download and install the free CamStudioCodec designed originally for the CamStudio screen capture software. This codec is completely lossless, just configure it to use the GZIP...

Well, if they are free . . . . even if they do not last forever, they are worth getting. You can always replace them with something later if they are not good anymore. You can read about NiH batteries here, where it says, among other things:

Re: help You're kidding, right?

Re: Should I use digital or film Most likely digital, since you do not have to pay for film and for the lab. Presumably, you will do more than one take for everything you shoot, so you will need more film than what the final result takes. If you want to go to DVD, you will have to convert film...

On film? Well, yes, talk to your lab about that.

It is about the easiest thing that any software can do, in B&W or color. All the software has to do is reverse each bit in the image, that is turn all ones into zeroes and all zeroes into ones, with the NOT operator. My "flop" plug-in does it in Photoshop, but of course you will want to do it...

Well, since the title of this thread is For best PC, I would have to say that an off the shelf PC is not the best for a filmmaker. It is best to build your own PC from quality parts. I like the www.mysuperpc.com web site in this regard, as it tells you how to do it and what your best options...
