LOL. You too, Pebble (also in CO if i recall).

Hey, are you one of those who sold out to XP (or perish forbid, Vista)?

Don't recall seeing you in here for a spell. :-)

Hiya Bill,

Yep, I'm in Boulder, not Colorado, but Western Australia. Vista? No way,

but have to admit using XP (Don't tell PCR) Mainly for the video work I'm

doing. Win98 is my OS of choice - am not double booting (or whatever it's

called) have 2 computers with either being connected to the net at any one

time. Any comp. probs I can usually google the answer.

Seeya - happy hols

LOL, I had no idea that there was a Boulder in Western Australia!

I guess the video apps you are using are the newer ones that require XP.

I've noticed that most of the multimedia applications coming out require

WinXP now, but some of the older apps will run on Win98SE. I do some

audio restoration work as a hobby (cleaning up old radio broadcasts, etc),

and use some of the older versions of some audio software (with plug-ins).

 

Two computers sounds like a good solution for the Win98 and XP thing, as

long as you don't have to keep the data updated between them. (You

probably use each one for its own purpose, though, and with little or no

overlap).

 

And Happy Holidays to you, Pebble.

Hiya Bill,

Boulder (Kalgoorlie=Gold)

Yeah, XP lets me get that BIG file size for video, and to move the files

around, which 98 doesn't. I do a bit of audiio restore work too, converting

the partners vinyl to cd, what a chore, though found 'De-popper' to be a

really good tool, my ears ain't what they used to be methinks!

Any data swapping I require is done by a little thumb drive, what a great

tool that is.

Thank the gods for oldversions.com!!

Kalgoolie? Which province is that in? Is that in the province called

Western Australia?

Yeah, that's right. We have a 4 GB limitation (and sometimes it's 2.1 GB)

with FAT 32. But the DVD video .vob files are each 1 GB max, so when I

was doing some video stuff with DVDs, it wasn't a problem for me. If

there were a video file that was contiguous and over 4 GB, I wouldn't be

able to handle it, LOL. I suppose like from a video camera - not sure.

> I do a bit of audio restore work too, converting

Absolutely. It is a chore, since no two files are alike, and they all

need different amounts of restoration; one size doesn't fit all. And then

transferring it to CD, etc. It is a bit of a pain, LOL.

> though found 'De-popper' to be a

Very good for the money. I think it was around $20. And was also

advertised on DAK.

 

For a bit more $$, there's some other good stuff too, say like Spin It

Again, and AudioLava, Sound Laundry (well, that's even more expensive, but

really nice), etc (these are the all-in-one type apps) and they don't

require an audio editor.

 

Most of what I use now are DX and VST audio restoration plug-ins within an

audio editor, like SoundForge, Acoustica, Cool Edit, or Audio Audition (but

that one can't run on Win98SE). But that process is a bit more time

consuming, since you have to bring it up in the audio editor first, and then

decide which plug-ins to use, etc. But you can see the waveform and work

on various parts if needbe.

OK. Yeah, that seems like a good way.

Yes - that is a GREAT site! And I like and prefer some of the OLD

versions (and not the newer albatrosses).

The state of Western Australia.

 

Yeah, you can go as far as you like and a bit further with audio editing. I

like using Nero wave Editor, can see the clicks and hisses!

The video I play around with is straight from the minidv tape and big file

types, as I like to download as one file, then split and play around with

it, sometimes use Nero or Ulead video studio.

Right. I've got the limited edition of Nero that doesn't have the editor.

 

Doesn't Nero's editor have a built in click and pop remover? No, I guess

not - that's probably why you needed the other one. I use these other

audio editing programs like SoundForge, Cool Edit, and Acon's Acoustica.

But they are not truly all-in-one packages like Nero is, which can actually

burn the CDs and DVDs, too!

> The video I play around with is straight from the minidv tape and big file

 

How big are such files? Can you give me some rough idea, like, say, 100

MB per minute, or what (as an average)? (I'm sure it varies with the

quality selected, but I was just curious what an average might be).

> types, as I like to download as one file, then split and play around with

I've also got an older version of Ulead's Video Studio 7. And also

NeoDVDPlus (simpler, but not as powerful).

 

Oh yeah, Pebble, you may want to check this one out: VideoReDo - it's

pretty great for editing video. Have you seen it? (But it's not an

all-in-one package like Nero, or at least wasn't).

Re: Seasoned greetings to all

 

I snipped - OK?

 

Hiya Bill,

Yeah, Nero does have a click and pop remover, but can't fine tune it very

much and can't listen to changes before the burn. Had a look at video redo,

seems a good programme, but more for editing dvd VOB files, whereas minidv

is AVI or MPEG when downloaded to computer. 3.6 Megabytes per second, tape

is 60 minutes so 12.66 GB per hour!

I use Ulead video studio 7 also, was thinking about updating that one or

getting something completely different. Nero is OK but my main use for Nero

is CD and ISO, NRG burning, don't like how it handles making DVD's.

Right now I've got so much footage, that I think I need ANOTHER hard drive

(Have 2 on each machine!)

A little holiday job methinks B-)

To you too, Pebble-- & everyone, yea

 

If your hearing is going, it could be the XP-exposure you have confessed

to Colorado that did it! Check to see whether the wax is purplish in

your left ear! Have you begun to lose your balance on that boulder?

balance!

yourself is to chuck 'em.

It could. But usually only XP-irradiation will put purple wax in your

You too. The only other possibility is you drunk blue eggnog & held your

nose as you sneezed & rolled off that rock. That could do it too!

It didn't work - THIS TIME - Don't give up, well yes give THEM up, but don't

give up giving up. I smoked for 36 years and finally giave them up!

 

Bloody hell, listen to me, banging on like a bloody born again, but it is so

great to be free of this damned addiction, that you want the whole smoking

world to give it a go.

Anyway, I'll try to keep away from the XP demon and its nanny ways as much

as possible, even though purple is my favourite colour!

Seeya, happy hols

As you know, this time & last, my efforts to quit quickly led to my

picking butts up right off the sidewalk & gutter! I'm not sure I can

endure that embarrassment a third time. (I don't have Terhune's

constitution!) And I kept picking them up a bit even after calling it

quits & buying tobacco tins! Now I do exclusively roll my own with

filters. I am back to a degree of huffy-puffyness walking uphill. I was

coughing for a while due to the switch to Top & Bugler tins instead of

indian reservation scalp brand, but that has gone now.

You are inspirational. I'll give it another try someday, I'm sure.
