New forum about DV tape: The Long Black Line
 

We get soooo many posts about DV tape, we decided to dump 'em all into a special forum dedicated specifically to the topic of "tape" which, as far as I know, is the first of its kind anywhere online. It's called "The Long Black Line." The other big message boards for digital video won't give you this kind of service, but we aim to please, baby! There's a lot to read in here, so before you pop your tape question, try reading through these threads, and I'll bet you'll find your answer. Kudos to Ken (or blame, whichever you deem appropriate) for the forum title. At least there's no Red Tape here! While we're at it, "The Long Black Line" will also be the home for all of the DV deck, VHS and S-VHS deck, and camcorder-as-deck topics. If it's tape, it's there. Hope this helps, and Happy New Year!

Tapeless Recording category for FireStore and QuickStream
 

Howdy from Texas,

With the growing interest in alternatives to tape, we've done some remodeling to our forum line-up. Announcing our new Tapeless Recording Solutions category, with a dedicated forum within for the FireStore FS3 and other hard disk recording solutions from Focus Enhancements, and another dedicated forum for the QuickStream DV tapeless recorder from MCE Technologies. Manufacturer's reps from both companies will each lead their own areas. Enjoy,

New forum: Attend the World Premiere!
 

Howdy from Texas,

We aim to please at DV Info Net, so here's your very own Adobe Premiere discussion board. Many thanks to Ed Smith, who has volunteered to moderate. The forum is open to topics concerning Premiere Pro, older versions of Premiere, associated plug-ins, optimizing a PC for Premiere, learning the software and much more. Enjoy!

New forum: Area 51
 

Okay, it's a minor policy reversal here at DV Info Net. If you abslutely must discuss rumors and whatnot, and you know better than to dare put it in our Industry News forum because you know it'll get booted, we've carved out a chunk of Nevada specifically for speculative thrillers.

Enjoy -- but don't take it too seriously!

New forum: Alternative Imaging Methods
 

Several discussions in our "Film Look with DV" forum have become so popular that we've decided to move them to their own dedicated board. Alternative Imaging Methods is the new home of the outrageously intense "Homemade 35mm Adapter" threads such as the Agus35 and Aldu35 solutions. Among other topics such as "using digital stills to create motion video" and even a Super-8 film post or two, these make-your-own projects and related discussions now have a place of their very own. Enjoy!

Canon Optura site and discussion board now online.
 

Howdy from Texas,

Sure it's just a consumer-grade single-chipper, but they're so appealing that I just couldn't resist. We've had a good bit of interest in the Optura line around here before, so for anybody as impressed as I am with these little darlings, here's a couple of freebies for ya:

The Optura Junior Watchdog site, with news and articles; more content in the works.

The Optura Discussion Board here at DV Info Net; the chatter is already underway.

Thanks for checking them out,

New forum?
 

Is there a forum where it is more appropriate to discuss soundtrack issues? I did a search for loops and see postings all over the place. It might be good to have one place to talk about the various looping software and where to find loops. How to score our videos, etc.

Just a thought.

I would post in the Audio forum (Now Hear This). If it is very specific you may want to try a post in the respective platform forum (Mac or PC).

New wedding forum
 

'The Wedding Forum is about ready to go. So stay tuned'.

That was 2 weeks ago. I look every day, but cant find it.
Am I looking in the wrong place?
Regards.

It really is ready to go. We have just been very very busy and
the last ends regarding moderating are being sorted out. I
will send a reminder to Chris about it, though.

I promise!

New forum added: Canon XL2 Watchdog
 

Coinciding with Canon USA's announcement of the XL2, and also coinciding with the fact that DV Info Net is simply the place to be these days, we've launched a new discussion forum dedicated to the Canon XL2, of course. See you there,

Rob's XL2 link in the news section does not work.

Thanks Glenn. I just removed the link and just linked to the XL2
forum where all things XL2 can be discussed, ofcourse.

Finally! After all this time! Our Wedding & Event Videography forum is now open. Sorry for the delay,
