I do not recommend this machine. It only supports the lowest form
of VCD recording. The Amoisonic VDR-2000 for about the same
price, offers SVCD - about twice the quality (half the recording
time). I've now been testing the DataVideo VDR3000, and it brings
even better quality to video cd recording, but at a price ($1600 -
ouch).
For more info on the Amoisonic, write Lynn directly in China:
lynn@amoisonic.com
It was $370 + $130 postage last I checked... don't know if this is
still true.
Thank you,

I got it recently to transfer 20-year old VHS tapes to CD.
The main drawback is the mpeg-1 format, which results in
a pixilated picture on a TV or on full-screen computer,
though it looks quite good in a window. It is very easy
to use, and the CD-Rs it burns can be copied in a Tascam
CD-D4000 dual deck machine. But VCD CD-Rs do NOT play on
all DVD machines, though I think most Pioneer models will
play them, as well as many newer models.

i'm curious if anyone has any comments on the new SONY DGP DDS tapes (???)
several vendors have announced up here that the price of the SONY's have
gone down to just over $2 but no one said anything about the tapes being any
different, so i was surprised to get some and find that they are not what
i'm used to
the tape shells are completely different looking, even with a cool orange
window over the reels and a two-tone grey look on the part that swings up
over the tape (probably not describing this right)
the outside packaging has changed as well so at least you will be able to
tell that the tapes are the new variety without opening them
not like any of this "appearance" stuff matters (i actually think this gives
the tape a more "expensive" look than the plain old grey/silver of old), but
i am curious if anyone knows anything about these quality-wise, either in
the shell construction or if the tape formulation has changed at all
i am especially "gunshy" about the SONY change since i had nothing but
trouble with the newer design of the maxell DDS HS4 tapes in my tascam decks
(despite claims of them being no different), and i switched to sony and
ampex to get away from the maxell problems

Pioneer DVD units seem to be the most CDR-friendly models on the market. I
have a DVP-525 and I ordered a DVC-603 (5-disc changer with progressive scan
output) yesterday. The 525 plays any CDR or CDRW media I have ever burned
on. It does VCD, SVCD, XVCD and XSVCD, although I think the usable limit is
2500kb for the system stream.

Subject: Tool in Chicago?
Date: Fri, 4 May 2001 09:13:28 -0700
Hey everybody. Sorry for the plaintive, lame post, but is anyone
taping the Tool show in Chicago (Riviera) on the 17th of May?
Secondly, I'd love to work out SOME kind of trade for a copy,
if you are, and FIRSTLY, I'd be grateful for any info about tickets
for this show. They apparently go on sale tomorrow (Saturday
5th), but my friend who's planning on going can't seem to find
out how/where to get them. TicketBastard is handling the REST
of the tour, but she can't find anything about the Chicago show
from them, nor apparently from the Riviera's site, nor Tool's
site. (Apologies if I'm blatantly wrong about this - I'm going
halfway from second-hand info.)
Any clues are appreciated - reply off list; and I'll be glad
to set up some B&P's for CD-Rs of this show as BWT, when/if I
get ahold of it.
cheers,

Brickwalling is an unrelated phenomenon. Brickwalling is indeed hitting
the pre-amp with too high of a signal level, but the record level control
and the meter comes *after* the pre-amp input. So lowering the levels
you read on the meter doesn't avoid brickwalling. Sony's recommendation
is just a very conservative way of avoiding hitting 0 dB.

Feel free to increase your levels.

I believe the solution to "your message has MIME content,
please send as plain text" for AOL is as follows.
When you are done composing the message highlight the
text and then right click with the mouse and select
the "text" item, under that item select the option
"normal."
I do not have an AOL account and am paraphrasing information
from a DAT-heads called Matt. I believe that it did work
for one user with AOL 6.0 who wanted to sell an Apogee.
Once I get a confirmation it will be added to the information
provided at "dat-heads-help@datheads.phish.net" which gives
advice for most other email clients. Please check that if
you have this problem because it takes a lot of time to
reply personally (which I eventually do on email to
dat-heads-owner).

Subject: Question: How works a sony D3?
Date: Fri, 04 May 2001 14:28:36 -0400
Hello,
Recently I aquired a D3 from a video production company for a
good price. Noteable point; the deck only has been through about 100 hours
of use. I'm pretty happy with it so far. Just wish parts were still
available (knocking on wood).
So my questions. I have a 7 pin cable but in the event I need to go
analog...
How do I use the line in/mic switch?
Also, how do I use the mic att 20db/0db switch?
Off the subject but still curious,
What exactly does the ams control do? skip to the next ID?
Is it good to use this function when skipping over the blank
(lead) at
the begining of the tape?
5. And finally the start ID mode and enter buttons what's the
deal?
So I've got a Long way to go. A newbie undeniably. But everyone starts
somewhere, sometime. Any other info on maintenance or the # of a good
mechanic would be greatly appreciated. Please send me a private email to
respond. Thank you kindly for your help!
Mike

Advice, please:
A gentleman from this list is looking to sell some 1-2 years old KAO
Gold 60m DAT blanks. He says they've been sitting in a desk drawer,
sealed, at room temperature the whole time.
He claims that "KAO Gold 60m DAT blanks were and still are the best
blanks ever produced."
We haven't talked price yet, but he encouraged me to seek feedback
from fellow list members about how these "old" tapes would compare to
"fresh" tapes in performance aside from the issue of price.
Everyone else seems high on the Sony
Thanks,
Bill
