I recently aquired an HW-29A six meter transceiver minus any documentation. I am looking for any documentation (schematic, assembly instructions, owner's manual, etc.) and am willing to pay a reasonable amount for it. Would prefer originals but will take photocopies. If you have such documentation or know of anywhere that I can find it please drop me a quick note. Reply here or netmail. Thanks in advance. LSR ...

PM> Peter Mocca peter.mocca@travel.com I am not sure I understand your question. Do you want to: a. - Smart computer control a VCR to edit multiple video tapes to produce one. b. - Produce/Generate short digital clips to insert into above. c. - Produce a 15 minute product in computer and then dump it to video. For a and or b. Abbate Video at (800) 283-5553. Offers s/w and cables to control one or two VCR/Camcord (cable equiped and some IR remotes). It cost about $250.It will run on any Mac. It makes it easy to collect a list of video clips and then control your VCR to paste them into one video. It will work with one unit or two (much easier). If your video camera can be remotly controlled then it can be used as a unit. If you have a QT capable Mac with video-in it can make Quicktime clip of your video clips. Which is really great to help remember what is what. If you are just doing 'a' and you don't have a Mac an old toaster style b&w SE will work. They can be had for less than $300. To do 'b' you will need a computer with video out. Any Mac with an NUBUS slot and one of many video in/out cards will work. Low end video in/out cards can be had for $200 something. A used Mac from $300. Macs with built in video can be had for ~1000 used and new for ~$1500 (used Macs hold their value). To do 'c' you need the above computer- the faster the better, with lots of RAM and gigs of fast hard drives. I am sorry that I only know Mac solutions. They may seem a bit more expensive but they are much easier to learn to use and add to. If you are going to do multimedia video in your computer you will need GIGs of fast hard drive space. NO matter what you start with you will need to add more at sometime. With a Mac all that takes is pluging the drive into the back of the Mac or the last External hard drive (you can have up to 7) and restarting. Adding a CDROM and Scanner is just as easy. Also Av version Mac's come with video s/w. For all Macs Apple has freeware tools to edit and optimize quicktime documents (movies). You don't have to buy a $500+ program to get started. And I suspect you will not need to buy all new hw when wondows 95 comes out (to remain current). --- MacWoof 1.5.3 * Origin: Alex Va (1:109/70.4216@fidonet) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 201 PRO VIDEO Ref: C5X00000 Date: 05/25/95 From: CHRIS BAUGH Time: 08:55pm \/To: ALL (Read 7 times) Subj: IMAX sound question Does anyone know how sound is presented for IMAX movies?

Deanna, I am not a professional but I would like to ask you about the course that you have taken at Mt. Hood. Has the program been up to your expectations? Do you feel that you are well prepared in television, and what job assistance has the college given you? The reason I am asking is because I considered taking their program. Instead, I decided to get my A.A. transfer degree at Clackamas C.C. and then transfer to Southern Oregon State College for their Broadcasting Production.

Will someone please tell me what was so special about this movie? The character development was nil. We had absolutely no real understanding into what motivated the characters.

However, they didn't say much about it, except for the fact that they have developed a windows version of the program (as I understand the original package was designed for Mac). From the description and illustration of the program, it seems to be the software I need--I just need to find out more. I intend on writing the company myself for more details--as soon as I find the address--but what I would also like is a bit of consumer feedback. If anyone out there has any experience with the program, I would appreciate your oppinion of it. It will help me to decide which one of the storyboard programs on the market are the most useful for my purposes. --- Maximus 2.02 * Origin: The Cybernetic Jungle.

It's totaly isolated from the film in order to increase picture area. Then a computer is used to time it correctly. Kevin --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.12 * Origin: NWCS Online (1:105/362.0)
