RE: Is it possible to edit video?
You could try Video Redo suite from http://www.videoredo.com It's not the most intuitive program , but by using the contex key instead of the programs shorts cuts, I regularly edit ads out of tv programs and record them to dvd. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of John Gurd Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2009 11:53 AM To: PC Audio Subject: Is it possible to edit video? I've been recording a lot of audio described TV programmes as audio files. As I'm totally blind that's mostly what I'm interested in. I use Total Recorder to edit out the adverts. However, there's a couple of programmes that my sister, who is sighted, is interested in. I think I can use Nero to burn my mpeg files to video DVD. I got excited when I saw that there's a plugin for Total Recorder that would let me edit video in exactly the same way it does audio. I figure the rough edits I want to do can be done just by listening. But it turns out the plugin only edits AVI and WMV files. Does anyone know how to get round this or of a video editing programme that is accessible enough for this purpose?

The .cda file format is the correct type for making audio CDs for playing back on any regular CD player. It just means CD Audio format. A .WAV file won't play in an audio CD player.

Re: The New Netbooks
I have an asus eee pc and like it more than the nc10. From what I've seen of the nc10, that's just boasting. My 900 ha has maybe a 90 percent full keyboard, probably less. The soundcard on this thing rocks - for most things, anyway. It converts files in gold wave with no lag at all. Its better than most laptops in that it has xp. (keep in mind I'm keeping this as audio related as I can, sorry if I stray off topic just a tad). I average 4.5 hours on battery with a 4 cell battery. None of the other netbooks can do that - because asus's super hybrid engine. Again, love it.

Re: The New Netbooks
that we've been advised to stay on topic with this one, I would like to know strictly audio related things about the NC10 and these other new sub-laptops. First, how good are the audio inputs? Second, a comment or two about using the keyboard fluently to edit audio as an indication of how convenient these small machines are practically speaking. If anyone gets round to using external USB audio interfaces then any problems or conflicts - which can ocur - would be very useful to know about. As someone who spends a large part of his life doing audio work, often out on the road, these are important questions for me. Ray. Knowing Nick G wrote: It depends on the Netbook.

Re: Using a Bluetooth earpiece as a general PC headset
Hi, I'd like to be able to have headphones that are not directly connected to my TripleTalk speech synthesizer, but I often need to handle protected material at work and I can't be broadcasting that info if anyone with a similar receiver can pick it up.

Re: Using a Bluetooth earpiece as a general PC headset
Hi David, Such a bluetooth device will work for the PC. However, if your PC is not bluetooth-enabled (like mine) you will also have to purchase the bluetooth transmitter. I got my headset, which is just a single earpiece w/mic at Radio Shack on sale for about $20 and I got the transmitter at Best Buy for I think $40. I had to have a little sighted help setting up the software as the initial screen wasn't accessible but it was ok after getting past that.

Re: The New Netbooks
Let me make a few comments here. I have used the MSI, HP MiniNote, the Samsung NC10, and the Dell Mini 9. First let me say that I was totally disappointed by the Dell Mini 9. The keyboard is too small, keys are crammed together, and a number of important keys are missing or have been moved. The keyboard has not functionkey roe, and only has the ability to get functionkeys F1 thru F10. Finally, the Dell has the same processor as the other units, but ran much slower and boots much slower. The Samsung has a very nice keyboard, and is quite easy to type on at a rather fast pace. The speaker sounds good considering the size of the unit, and works well even with software such as Kurzweil1000 and Openbook with a Canon Lide 200 flatbed scanner. About the only complaint I could find was that the button to turn the unit on and off was on the side of the unit where a person could easily accidently press the button and turn the unit on or off without intending to do so. The most fantastic thing about the Samsung is that with the great battery management software in the unit it gets around 7 hours of use on a charge. That is a fantastic time for any laptop, and I have heard of no other netbook that can even come close to running as long on a charge. The HP MiniNote I used was very nice, and had fantastic sound for its' size. The HP MiniNotes have very nice keyboards and are easy to type on. But, battery life per charge seemed to stay just over 4 hours per charge. I baught a MSI Wind in December and absolutely love it. I think the only minus is that the speakers are under the unit and do not sound as good as some of the other units because of their placement under the unit. The keyboard is very good, easy to type on, and has nice size keys. I am getting just over 5 hours of use on a charge of the battery (6 cell). The MSI has a new firmware bios that allows the unit to be run in turbo mode that takes the speed of the processor to 2.0 GHZ instead of the 1.6 standard. But, because of the use of stepping you should not have to worry about overheating the processor because the processor will only run at the faster speed when processing demands call for the necessity of more speed for heavy processing. This difference makes the MSI able to perform more quickly and crispy on a lot of applications than the other units here that do not have any turbo mode. I have used Jaws 10, Window-Eyes 7, the latest NVDA, and the latest System Access on these units and had no problems using any of these packages on any of the units with the exception of keyboard issues on the Dell Mini 9.

Re: voice recorders that append
Hi, Steve, I can only speak to the operation of the Sony ICD-B25 which is about 7 years old now. It is quite easy to use with the audio beeps function turned on (which is by default). The clock and alarm functions are totally inaccessible but all the basic and intermediate functions are fine, such as: record, stop, playback and skip forward and back; splitting a recording, joining 2 recordings, erasing a recording; moving from one folder to another, and so on. But I cannot say what features remain accessible in currently-available models. As for price, 7 years ago I paid about $75 but that's not going to tell you what they cost today since recording capacities have improved so dramatically and features added like stereo recording.

I have an older Sony ICD-B25 voice recorder which does append. On the hunch that Sony still makes recorders with this feature I checked out the first one I found on Amazon: Sony ICD-P520 Digital Voice Recorder with 256 MB Built-in Flash Memory and USB and found this in its feature list: * Add Recording: Insert and add additional information to any message without affecting the original.

Re: The New Netbooks
Hi Steve, I have been using a NC10 from Samsung for about a week. Our Samsung has given us a 30 day evaluation unit to use. Actually, it has a very nice keyboard, and it is just a slight bit bigger than the MSI Wind keyboard. I know several people who have baught or are going to be buying the Samsung, and two things that those people usually emntion is the nice keyboard and over 7 hours of use on a charge of the battery. I really like my MSI Wind, and it has some great features, including a turbo mode that takes the speed to 2.0 GHZ. But, the best I have been able to get with the MSI on battery life is a little over 5 hours. That isn't bad, but 7 hours is fantastic. This message was composed on a MSI Wind netbook. - Original Message - From: Stephen Guerra step...@independentliving.com To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 3:06 PM Subject: RE: The New Netbooks Yes, but from those who have tried this unit, the concensus is just those who are probably not using any screen reading or magnification technology so to me its not valid points.

Re: The New Netbooks
I'd be interested to know how any of these netbooks work with Sound Forge or Sonar. I wouldn't expect much but would be nice if one could do live recording and some audio editing. Maybe the Samsung with it's turbo mode could even handle some soft synthesizer plugins.
