    MPEG audio synchronization problem

    Greets to all - The one main problem I have editing MPEG2/VCD movies is that now and then I'll run into a movie where the audio track 'strays' out of sync. That is, it'll be fine at the beginning of the movie, but way off by the end. This happens with all the editors, Vegas Video, VidStudio...

    Where, oh WHERE, is the modem's init string?

    Greets to the group - Well, I scoured the Web and found out how to have my modem disconnect when an incoming call comes in. It's a matter of changing the S registers and making the modem more 'sensitive' to the Call Waiting signal. Now the question is, how do I access the modem's init string...

    Have 56K modem disconnect when call comes in?

    Greets to the group - I first asked this in the Networking forum, but that group is more geared toward routers and hubs and such. I recently axed my broadband service and am presently limping along on a 56K modem. Quite simply, I'd like it to disconnect when a call comes in. You'd think that...

    Screen-grabs from VCD/MPG movies

    Ah, gotcha. I had seen the little camera gadget (and tool tip), but nothing had happened when I clicked on it. I see now it writes a file to a pre-specified folder. Thanks! Now the question is, how do I get them to load into Premiere, or similar video editing studio? Benchie

    Screen-grabs from VCD/MPG movies

    Well, dang. Try as I might, I just can't figure out how to make a screen-grab from a VCD movie. None of the usual methods work (Print/Scrn key, official screen-grabber), and what's most puzzling is why the two main players, WinDVD and PowerDVD, don't have a "Save Image" feature. I...

    Taking screen-grabs of VCD/MPG movies

    Greets to the group - This has turned out to be quite the interesting little puzzle. For starters, it's odd that neither PowerDVD or WinDVD have a "Save Image" feature, that would work when it's in Pause mode. That, all by itself, is kind of strange. Using the Print/Scrn key, or a...
