Re: Venturing into Cotty's territory--Video
On 13/11/10, Christine Aguila, discombobulated, unleashed: Well, my 3 short video clips look viewable and play nice enough in playback on the camera, but I just imported a 7 sec clip to Microsoft moviemaker, gave it a grayscale effect, finished it as a movie to my desk top, FTPed it to my web site, and the little clip looks dark and grainy--much more so than during playback in the camera. Is that to be expected? It was very dark in the pub. Or maybe it's my 3rd rate monitor? If you have windows media player, you probably will be able to view this. If not, well, you won't be missing much :-). I'm going to have to retrench and rethink my video strategy :-). Cheers, Christine http://www.caguila.com/guiness%20test.wmv The clip is dark, sure. When you have the clip on a timeline in Microsoft Moviemaker, what does it look like then? If the clip is fine on the timeline, then somehow it was darkened either during the conversion to mono, or during the encoding as a 'movie' to your desktop. What did you convert it to on the desktop (I am assuming .wmv) and are there any options to convert the file from the timeline to any other type of file? Try the same process again, this time don't apply the mono conversion - just pop the movie through onto the web in colour and with no mods of any kind. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche -- http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: peso mr. mom
Christine, in my eyes and humble opinion, this is rather unsuccessful shot: * The pole on the right cuts the dog behind it in halves. * The little baby's head seems blown out. * Father and baby are dead center. * The other dog does whatever it does. So, I basically sit and scratch my head - what exactly Christine was trying to tell me? That poles cut dogs? That sun was shining very bright? That when you go out with the child and two dogs, someone will get a chance to poop? Again, no offense, no harmful intent, only my (hopefully polite but somewhat brutal) humble opinion.

RE: Ot - My Mac Died - Long Live My Mac
I have a Macbook Pro I got just over three years ago (one month out of the extended 3 yr Applecare warranty I bought with it) and it suddenly died on me Thursday. Wouldn't boot. Managed to rescue the few things I hadn't back up in a couple of days (by Target Disc mode onto my G4 desktop). Started troubleshooting but despite single user mode fsck, hardware test CD, swapping RAM about (with crossed fingers, I couldn't get past a kernel panic screen. Bit of web reading and it looks like the nvidia graphics card could be the cause in what appears to be a known issue on my model. Went to Apple Store Bath (no, not an Apple Store in a bathtub, it's a place called Bath!) and a genius ran the GPU tester - yup FAIL The he brightened my day by telling me the logic board (with all bits attached inc graphics card) would be replaced free of charge, ready to collect Monday. Say what you like about Apple but there's a reason some of us are fanboys! It should last a lot longer than 3 years. In the last 15 years I've had the following : - an ICL Fujitsu desktop that lasted 7+ years until the monitor faded to nothing - a Dell Precision M50 which I used as the main computer for about 7 years, and is still going strong as a file and print server on my network - an IBM Thinkpad 760ED which is about 15 years old, now running an OS called Oberon on bare metal - this Thinkpad X100e - a Dell Vostro which I use for Lightroom These last 2 I bought this year so it's too early to say what their longevity will be, but so far I've only ever had one PC fail on me in an unreasonable period of time - a cheap Toshiba netbook whose motherboard died after 11 months.

Re: What a revolting development!
Yeah, I can hear something going on in there. All that whizzing, and whirring and clunking would be cool sound effects if it weren't for the problem with the mirror return. I've been doing what you suggest, exercising the shutter. Current status: Speeds 1/15 second or faster the mirror will return about 99% of the time. The mirror will also return on B. Speeds 1/8 or slower the mirror stays up, but all I have to do is cock it set the shutter speed to 1/15 or greater. I'm now mostly not having to turn it upside down to unstick the mirror. I'm afraid I won't have time to get it serviced before my trip. That is, I may be able to get it in to the shop I use, but I don't know if I'll get it back in time. Meanwhile, I already have film in the LX I'm going out today and exercise it. If the LX lets me down, I've still got a Super Program and 2 PZ-1p bodies to go through. I don't know which camera I'm going to use yet, other than I intend it to be a Pentax of some sort. I really wanted it to be the K1000, but how ever it works out, *I AM* going to shoot those last two rolls of Kodachrome on my trip! From: P. J. Alling The slow shutter speeds are controlled by a different timer than the fast. Sounds like the lubrication has gotten stiff. Maybe exercising the shutter a number of times at varying speeds will loosen it up. Otherwise a CLA is in order. Objectively the camera isn't worth a CLA but if you like it it's worth it.

Re: A Review and A Rethink on my Dream Pentax Kit
For me, the MX was an ideal size for a walk around body.The E-P1 serves that purpose now. It's not ideal composing on the LCD but at least this camera stays out of the way when I'm doing whatever else I was there to do. Although I am taking the E-P1 and the K7 on a trip to Disney World /wedding in KC next week. I'm thinking the E-P1 with the 20 and the K7 with the FA 20-35, 50 1.4 and the 135 2.8.

RE: Darn techno advancements
Odd. I use Word all day, every day. Save all manuscripts as docs and have never had a problem. I think it can get its panties stuck up its crack if the document template gets messed up. I've been using it day in, day out for donkeys' years and in most situations it seems to be ok if you can keep things simple. At the place I'm working now, though, they have it set up so that users can't set up and use their own default template and I find that the file sizes inflate really quickly for some reason which I haven't discovered yet. For example, a 5 page document containing only text and styles blew up to about 10mb for some reason. When I saved it as .rtf and converted back to Word it was about 75k, with no change to the content at all. I think the tech people at work have knackered something - various other aspects which work predictably at most other sites I've worked at are also knackered (but some of the knackerage I've seen elsewhere). Word is an overblown, buggy, unnecessarily complex mess. It seems to be quite fragile to being set up right or wrong. Fortunately, you can set it up so that it works simply and predictably, but once ignorant techs start messing around it quickly gets itself upf*cked.
