Hi ! I had some problems with a piece of software ( the Main Actor 3.04 video sequencer for Win made by www.mainconcept.de ) I reported them a bunch of bugs and problem and got some useless chat as response. And in their last mail , they claim MPEG does not support 44100 Hz as sampling rate ... I gave up any hope with them. I attach their last mail. Yes I know this is off topic, but I'm frustrated :-( -- David Balazic , student E-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | living in sLOVEnija home page: http://surf.to/stein Computer: Amiga 1200 + Quantum LPS-340AT ---------------->8--- cut here ------------- From: MainConcept Support <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --=====================_19861393==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed At 18:47 08.10.99 +0100, you wrote: > >Hi again, > > > >At 10:35 04.10.99 +0100, you wrote: > >> >Hello, > >> > > >> >At 07:45 04.10.99 +0100, you wrote: > >> >>Hi ! > >> >> > >> >>I downloaded MainActor 3.04 for windows and installed it on my NT 4.0 > >> system. > >> >>I had many troubles with it , which I describe here : > >> >> > >> >>3D-text - background is always transparent ! > >> >> > >> >>Font Dialog - No CE(Central European) characters !!! > >> >> Or Cyrillic or Baltic or Turkish ... > >> > > >> >As long they are TT-Fonts, they should work in MainActor.

Where can I set the volume of the channel ? >I only found the "reset volume" option, but no "set volume" !? > In Sequencer you can set the volume by lifting the small gray squares ( they are in the beginning, 2/4, 3/4, and at the end of the Audio-Object) up and down. Sorry, there is no other option for that in the current version. >-- >David Balazic , student >E-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | living in sLOVEnija >home page: http://surf.to/stein >Computer: Amiga 1200 + Quantum LPS-340AT >-- Best regards, Muzzi Muzzi Beygirci ------------------------------------- ~please include all previous emails~ MainConcept - Software Development - Technical Support - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mainconcept.de (Europe) http://www.mainconcept.com (Americas) -- MP3 ENCODER mailing list ( http://geek.rcc.se/mp3encoder/ )
