For Windows users, solutions such as Honestech's VHS to DVD 3.0 Deluxe have been around for a while. Mac users have also had some solutions, but not to the extent that Windows users have.

When I first reviewed the Pure Digital Flip camera back in 2007, I liked the camera for its ease of use, video quality, and portability. The video camera pretty much set the video camera world on its ears, with more than 2 million cameras sold since being introduced several years ago--so much so that Cisco Systems snatched up the company.

Have you ever been to a car show and tried to take a shot of that really hot car but couldn't back up far enough to fit it all into the frame because of some obstruction or the crowd of people being in the way?

These days, 3D in Adobe's After Effects is a no brainer, and most people don't even give it a second thought. I've been an After Effects user since version 3.5 of the software, and when the 3D feature came along (version 5), it was a huge step forward, except for one problem. ...Read More »
From the outside the 9000 Mark II and its brother, the also improved 9500 Mark II, are almost identical to each other, just some differences in the gray color scheme. The Pro9000 prints at resolutions up to 4800x2400dpi on standard paper sizes ranging from 4"x6" to 13"x19" and surfaces from glossy, semi-gloss, matte, to you name it. ...Read More »
Every TV news department has been hit with staff and budget cuts at the same time they are being told they must improve the quality of their work. One "solution" that has been advanced is soliciting consumer spot news content or as management likes to call the folks, "citizen journalists." Problem is most of the content received is garbage. The slimmed down news team has to enhance the quality...tough with no people, no budget. But a low-cost solution will help...some!!!!...Read More »
