LCD monitor in field. Destination is moslty computer viewing so I should be OK.

The challange is knowing what setting to choose to get an acurate reading from the xl2 or dvx.

Obviosly the PC/Mac calibration I have for computing is not right.

Main Picture Settings=

Brightness
Contrast
Color
Tint
Sharpness
(all range 0-100, I have all at 50)

Color Temp=

5500k
6500k
9300k
User
(I have set at 6500k, tried user with RGB all at 50 attempting "flat" look)

Misc Settings=

Sharpness (Im at 46)
Backlight (Im at 70)

Any tips would help.

I installed DVHSTool and intend to use it with my jvc 30k, but once I export a file I am unable to get it to import anything other than an empty ts file. I know the source material is good, and it is in native transport stream format (m2t file), thus all I am doing is trying to archive and retrieve the files with no luck. I also noticed that I was having the same problem with my HD capture utility that came with my hd10, and which can recognize the 30000u dvhs deck. It sees the deck and controls the deck, but when I try to retrieve archival footage I get a blank file. Help.

Thanks

Hi Guys

I recently bought one of these DV videotape machines without a user manual. Does anyone have a user manual or can anyone tell me how to put or if you can put this machine into EE mode? (so I can see other vtrs in stop or pause)

Thanks for any help

Just the other day I recorded a documentary that was showing on the Encore channel called "The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing" and finally just watched it.

It was just fascinating! The purpose of the documentary is to bring to light just how influential the editing room is on films today, in stark contrast to the rules-based editing of the early days of hollywood. It's a little over an hour and a half long, and just fascinating stuff for anyone who edits films. Editors, directors and even actors all say their piece about how they are or aren't involved in the editing process, and what their processes really are. Plus they discuss specific films and scenes and techniques visually and through the words of various editors influenced by them.

If you get Encore, check it out. It's an absolute must-see.
