From: "rover" <jdkhill@earthlink.net> Subject: VCD/SVCD Date: Fri, 4 May 2001 15:27:31 -0700 Hi Heads, if you want to make great quality VCD and SVCD's use the guides and software from this page: http://www.dvdripguides.com/ also... www.vcdhelp.com The SVCD quality is AMAZING!! Although if you are transferring VHS to SVCD you can't expect the quality to improve so don't be disappointed.

From: r2d2@quik.com Subject: entry level non stealth mics.. recomendations Date: Wed, 02 May 2001 15:29:45 -0700 I'm looking to get a set of non stealth mics and would appreciate some input. Ideally the mics would be stealth capable but this is not a must have feature. Brands I'm interested in include Sennheiser , AKG and Geffel now these may not be entry level but then again I might have to re evaluate my desire to spend my nest egg.. :O) my budget is around 600-1000 and I would need phantom power and possibly a pre amp I have run sennheisers with a pre amp and got nice results but that might have been luck . I'd be willing to spend more but I get very few open taping opportunities the stealth mics get tons more use but i would like to have some non stealths for those rare chances. So what i'd like is a equipment list ie brand, model # and approximate cost, preferably from the three brands listed but if you have a cheap smoking set up from an alternative manufacturer i'd be happy to get your input as well. main usage would be in mid size venues with occasional outdoor usage as well.

I welcome opinions on whether this is advisable. If you reply off list, please use datjams@aol.com . Thanks! Carl Mink
From: Sebastian Boschert <sebi@foo.dyndns.org> Subject: Taped: Muse/Feeder May 4th Date: Sat, 5 May 2001 14:09:06 +0200 Hello, I taped Muse and Feeder last night at the Theaterhaus here in Stuttgart Germany. The recording came out quite good (though the Muse part is a bit bassy, but nothing EQing can't fix). Security was non-existant and I could walk in with my equipment in the pockets of my jacket ;) I taped with my OKM-II Rock Studio microphones, a Sony SBM-1 and a Sony PCM-M1 (OKM-II>SBM1>M1). The Feeder set was 47 minutes and the Muse set was somewhere between 70 and 90 minutes (haven't listened to everything yet). I'm ready for some trades and I'm currently looking for recent Weezer shows as well as any Smashing Pumpkins, Queens of the Stone Age, Garbage, Local H shows and PJ Official boots I don't have. You can find my list at http://foo.dyndns.org/trades/ Thanks for the bandwidth ;) Sebastian

From: Beast914@aol.com Subject: MPEG1 & MPEG2 Date: Sat, 5 May 2001 09:27:40 EDT Can anyone (Gary?) suggest a site(s)/ books that would give me good insight into MPEG1 and MPEG 2 compression and DVD? Im interested in the differences; the compressions used, the thought process behind it. Ive found magazines that do an overly superficial glossing over or books that only a mathemetician would enjoy. Im looking for something in between. Thanks. D
