Ah, not a "no-spam" address this time...;-)


Hmmm, 8-hours, in 9.5 minute segments...
I just happen to have a "Thumbs Up"
to sell cheap - it may be more practical
to edit large amounts with this or with
"Video Director" (also have, cheap...),
using two DV camcorders and FireWire
between, or a DV VCR and camcorder with
FireWire between... (I think you can use
the RCA output to see what you are doing,
and maybe you can use timecode and lanc
with the Thumbs Up - but I didn't get
that far - I set up a Spark-based NLE
system instead...;-).

You can send that extra good karma (I
could use it! ;-) to my non-no-spam
address... (it's a pain to respond to
someone on the 'net, only to have one's
efforts bounce...).
