I'll take ham thank you, not much for bird. Tis Keeristmas here as
well. I'm finishing up a couple presents right now. My mom has been
sorting through all the boxes of my late grandmothers belonging and
she uncovered a bunch of media, old video reels and audio tapes and
the liak. So for one of her presents I'm converting it all to DVD
format. It's slow and tedious work, but it looks real cool when its
finished.
Speaking of media conversion be ~very~ careful about who hire to do it
for you and you should never do it yourself unless you absolutely know
what you're doing...or at least don't get rid of the originals. I've
done a variety of conversion jobs, a lot of times it's VHS to DVD and
in several instances it was actual Super8 to VHS, but they didn't keep
the original Super8 film. At which point I have to let them know that
the conversion process from Super8 to VHS effectively destroyed half
the quality of the video footage.
In some cases you get lucky and they had the initial conversion done
in the 90s and by someone who knew what they were doing and they used
SVHS...anything converted in the 80s though, not so much. That form
of conversion though, even with SVHS isn't even remotely as good as
the modern scanning methods of today. Basically every single frame is
scanned, capturing ALL of the available quality and then all the
frames are sequentially pasted together into a video file. If
possible you want to do the scanning in a clean room where you won't
be introducing any new artifacts during the scan (hairs, dust
particles, etc). You also have to clean the film to make sure you
won't be introducing any new artifacts that may be on the film.
That's one mistake people often make when scanning photos, they don't
bother to actually clean the photographs and so when they scan them
they're not just scanning the photo, but all the dust, hair and debris
that's on them as well.
Anywho, hope everyone has a good Keeristmas. Try not to eat too much
though. `, P
he says whilst stuffing his face with pumpkin roll and egg nog
I hope somebody got me socks...I love new socks, they're the best
thing in the whole world...next to Mt. Dew. My mom and dad actually
went a little spend happy this year going by all the presents I've got
under teh tree. We've tried to explain to them that we're not little
kids any moar and they don't need to go out and buy us tons of
presents, but they always do it anyway. It makes things kinda
complicated though if your parents are divorced, this morning I'm
having Keeristmas with my mom and then this afternoon I'm having
Keeristmas with my dad and then at some point in between I'm going to
go over to my brothers place...heh...busy, busy, busy...
