  RE: Capture from Youtube?
  I wish I could claim authorship of the script. I think someone else here in the forum posted a link to it about a year ago. As to getting the MP4 files to play on the Vegas timeline, well, I haven't figured out a way to make that happen natively.

  RE: OT: Help me find a budget priced TV
  The thing with Amazon and Newegg reviews is there are not answering the question of which TV is better? this or that?. The question they are answering is you happy with your TV. It doesn't mean the reviewers have even seen the other set.

  I bought a panasonic 1080p plasma this Feb. Last year's model, 42". I love it. Colors are rich without being distorted and movies look fantastic because of the rich blacks. If you're a movie person, I would go with plasma. This year's models use

  RE: OT: Help me find a budget priced TV
  I bought a Panasonic TC-P42X1 plasma TV a few months ago. It's fantastic. At 720p it was priced much lower than the 1080p televisions and there is no visible difference in a screen that size. It has an analog and digital tuner. The blacks are CRT

  RE: A/V Passthrough
  Here is how it works on my Canon ZR. I think it is pretty similar on your Elura. 1) Turn on the camera in "Playback (VCR)" mode, not camera mode. 2) Push "Menu." 3) Push "VCR Setup." 4) Scroll down and push "AV->DV Out." 5) Select "On." 6)

  RE: Another (better?) AVISynth noise reduction script

  RE: Anyone use Virtual Dub for resizing?
  FWIW, if you can do it in V/Dub, you can do it in AviSynth, plus some. Biggest hassle is Vegas not accepting .avs files, unlike P/Pro etc. [hint hint Sony]. Advantage? 1 is you can use AviSynth to manipulate the file before it gets to Vegas'
