Does he hate smilies too?

I like the smiles, as long as they don't animate. [This message has been edited by Simon Kornblith (edited 04-01-2000).]

Actually, the animating smileys are OK. They are too small to distract people. [This message has been edited by Simon Kornblith (edited 04-02-2000).]

Yah i gotta tell u, i hate them too...

Well, I for one would like to see Disco-based animated signatures banned from the forum. They remind me of polyester, which gives me a rash, and I also don�t like dancing, as it s…

I for one agree with Simon Kornblith. Animated SIGNATURES are stupid as they prolong the page loading time when they have absolutely no relation to the topic at all. I happen to us…

Does a camcorder with Analog->DV 'pass-thru" (like Sony camcorders have) achieve the same Analog->DV conversion quality as a dedicated DV converter (like Formac Studi…

Quality is the same. The converter is more conviniate and you can prmanantly hook it to your mac and watch your editing on a monitor or TV. It is a budget matter only. If you ch…

Yep... quality's the same... Note: not all dv camcorders will let you do the complete "pass-through" Analog->DV without copying onto a DV tape first. I was in a similar s…

Thank you for your answers. Although I think the Formac Studio converter is super-cool, I would rather not spend the $400 on it if at all possible. Arn, you are right, I don't wan…

Just an FYI, for those who don't know. Anyone who has a digital8 camcorder can easily put in their old Sony consumer 8 tapes and capture via DV. I think they actually work as a c…

Thanks for the additional replies. The Canopus converter report on MacCentral started me down this path of inquiry. It is the cheapest converter I have seen, but I have never h…

I read a while ago that possibly some new digital cable/satellite converter boxes may have a firewire port. That would be interesting. Would impact the consumer video market and …

Canopus is a good company w/ good products. Haven't seen this one yet, but they make great RT cards, etc. If you only have a handful of tapes to convert - family vacations, Christ…
