Yipeee! Got My 1st HD Cam (HV30) -- Thanks :o)
This brings up a question I have wanted to ask for a long time. I have the 3CCD Canon GL1 DV camcorder. Will the HV30 with it's single CCD give a better picture? Thanks for your opinions. Barry

OT: Hard Drive, Need Help
I had one of the original Maxtor External Drives crash on me just after the one year warranty. While it was still on warranty I had several episodes where the computer just did not recognize it and in two of those instances I lost all the data. Perhaps they are better now in the second reincarnation. Barry

OT: NewEgg needs to be scrambled
I use NewEgg all the time. The last 3 orders I made were shipped the same day even though they said it could take 24-48 hours. The worse case scenario I ever had was an order shipped the next day because I ordered late in the day. I never have paid the extra charge they ask for to get quick service because I have always gotten it anyway. In every case my order arrived a day before it was scheduled to arrive. (FedEx Express saver.... CA to AZ). Barry

B&H purchase, Any reccomendations
B&H yes. Mack, no. Just had a repair refused because they claimed I forced the firewire cable into the camcorder. (Still like to know how that can be done to cause internal damage.) Barry

Wow, did Epson screw up!
MichaelS, I just went to Natonalparts.com and could not find anything for the R200. Under R300 I found 3 parts and I don't believe any of them were the CD trays. Could you supply an exact URL, or an actual part number? Thanks, Barry

A message regarding Vegas 6 performance gains.
This is all well and good, if not understandable. I would like to get this down into simpler terms. As someone else asked quite a while back.... why can't there be background rendering as Pinnacles (Avid) Liquid Edition.... then would we need all this 'math'? To me, it is amazing to apply effects, transitions, etc and watch Liquid Edition quickly render it out, or continue editing for a few seconds as LE does it's thing. Thanks, Barry

Realtime editing card support...
I agree with Dunn. I have seen other people mention the slow rendering time with Vegas and they were literally attacked for doing so. (Please don't ask me to find the thread(s) now). I for one would like to see faster rendering and have thought so for several versions now. Barry

OT: Loss of firewire
nickle, Last night I moved the sound card (with the firewire port) to another slot. On reboot the computer 'found' all the audio drivers and firewire drivers including the one on the mobo. Problem NOT solved. Windows continues to see them but none of my 4-5 programs do. Since I really can't believe that in a coincidence two different devices went bad at the same time (one of which still works on USB) and since I find it hard to accept that two different cables went bad with them, and since moving the sound card actually also found the mobo firewire, I have decided to just plain remove the sound card from the system and see if the mobo firewire works. If that does not work I will put the sound card back in and disconnect the firewire cables from the mobo to see if that does it. Data Doctors only went into the BIOS to make sure the external hard drive was being seen by the system. I am also looking into new mobos since I already know the mobo I have has memory slot problems. If you or others have other ideas I will be very appreciative, as I have been. Thanks, Barry

OT: Loss of firewire
nickle, You have been great and thank you. The hard drive was an internal ata. They switched it to a usb external case. I switched it back. The video card was removed to access the memory slot. I had Data Doctors handle it because the original builder tied and fastened the wires extremely tightly to the case. I did not want to risk cutting or ruining the wires. I was not concerned about how, it was the risk I would take. I am not sure why they were in the bios either, unless when they hooked up the external hard drive the bios automatically came up. If you can give me more info on where to find that cmos setting to change to failsafe I would appreciate it. Sounds like it is worth a try. Barry

OT: Loss of firewire
nickle, I have an email into Data Doctors and am hoping for a reply. This is what I saw and know they did. 1) Took hard drive that was internal and put into external case. 2) Hooked up a 2nd internal DVD machine... a player to go with burner. 3) In an attempt to get more memory they removed my video card, not the audio card where the firewire is. Beyond that I am not sure. They may have installed drivers for the external hard drive. I have since removed that hard drive from it's external case and reinstalled it internally. In order to do this I 'pulled' the plug on the DVD player. I did see them in the BIOS once and have asked in my email what they did there. I have checked and seen that the mobo firewire is enabled. I made a change AFTER the firewires stopped functioning... I disabled the auto virus protection within the BIOS. Again I thank you nickle! Barry

OT: Loss of firewire
nickle I already ran the scannow. Thanks Spot, I've not read the entire thread. Have you tried removing the card in the Control Panel and then letting windows seek it out? Yes, I have. The fact stands two separate firewires 'died' simultanously, one on sound card and other on mobo. (Yes, the latter is enabled in BIOS). Sure you've got a good cable? Sure they didn't kill your Firewire card? Same as before, 2 different firewires at the same time. The soundcard still works... at least I get sound from it. Two different cables going at the same time? Sure the slot is good? Same slot as been in for a year, plus again... 2 at the same time? Card isn't disabled in Control Panel? Do you mean Hardware Devices? Both firewires show there and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. No yellow or red icons have appeared in any of my hardware devices. (I even tried update drivers but it uses those found in XP Pro.) You've got 1394 Network shut down in your Networking properties? Spot: This one I may need further explanation. How do I check and change these 'networking' properties? Are you refering to Control Panel -> Networking Connections? When I check the status of my two 1394 connections icons they both show "connected." They both say device working properly. The last time I had this was because Windows did not install the avicap32.dll but it is there now. To all those trying to help, again I thank you all and look forward to more ideas. Barry

OT: Loss of firewire
nickle, Thanks again. With Vegas the message is "Please Connect A Device" and under video is 'No capture device'. I use Scenalyzer Live for capture and it says"Connect your Camera/VCR and select a capture device to be used". Above that the message "not available:Microsoft DV Camera and VCR" I get similar messages with Premiere 6.5, Pinnacles LE and with Windows Movie Maker the program just froze and futher attempts to open the program leads to immediate shut down of the program. Your comment about make sure your camera is set properly is well taken because a couple of times I set it to Camera and not VCR... this is not the case this time. I am considering removing the sound card where one of the firewire inputs is located but that does not seem likely since both firewires died simultaneously. I doubt it is the cable because that would mean two different cables went bad at the same time... very unlikely. I also did switch cables around. Let it be said I appreciate your time and effort here! Barry

nickle, Again I thank you for being there. I followed your instructions and saw nothing but "ok" after each listing in all columns. There is no forced hardware. If nothing else you certainly taught me a great new command. If you have anymore ideas please share. Sites to visit? People to contact? (I spent 2 hours checking Microsoft's site but to no avail.)

OT: Loss of firewire
nickle, Thanks for the reply. They were moving around and connecting hard drives and dvd players. Problem is, I have no way to prove that Data Doctors did it. My BIOS shows the IEEE enabled, the Device Manager shows no problem with either IEEE device and uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers makes no difference. The avicap.dll(s) are still okay. If you have any ideas please throw them out at me. Sites to look at, people who might have a clue. I have been searching Microsoft's site but could not find specific enough info.... but then again their 'knowledge base' is so huge who knows if I searched the exact right words. Barry

john, Thanks for the reply. There are absolutely no yellow or red icons to any devices showing in the Device Manager. Both my 1394 IEEE devices show just fine. (OHCI and VIA OHCI). I also checked the BIOS and the device is enabled on the MOBO... just as one would expect if the Device Manager sees it. I have also tried reinstalling the 'drivers' for both these devices. Barry
