I'm trying to record something on my Camtasia screen recorder thingy and when I get done recording it, it plays back so I can review it. But, when I play the video back, it goes much slower than it should be going. Does anyone know how to fix this issue so it will go as fast as the screen I'm trying to record? Also, there's nothing wrong with the video-audio synch, it's just that the video is lagging.

Ok so i have a video that was made in Sony Vegas Pro 9 and it is only 7 minutes long, when rendered it i saved it as a .avi file and i set it to hd 1080p and after it was rendered the file size was 37GB!!!!!! so yea i dont know what could be making it so large btw my vid is a tutorial recorded off cam studio and for the audio i was using a mic to speak during the tutorial. Then i tried rendering it without hd and it was 15GB!!! HELP!

LAYNE STALEY: "AWAKE" AND REACHING BEYOND THE GRAVE A Chilling True Story Is Layne Stayley, singer for seminal grunge band Alice In Chains [who OD’d and died in 2002], pulling a “Tupac” by continuing to make records from beyond the grave? It would appear so, as evidenced by this recent story coming out of Los Angeles, CA. It seems that during the recording of their debut album, Angry Mirror, alternative metal band EVEN X first made their other-worldly connection with the deceased rock star while working on the band’s current single, “Awake,” at Track Entertainment Studios. At some point during the late-night session, some of the studio’s equipment began generating unusual frequency readings and the overhead lights began flickering sporadically. Engineer Alex Track found singer Ricky Kay unconscious in what was described as a “trance-like” state. Attempts to revive Kay were unsuccessful, so Track tried to leave the control room to get help, only to find that some “invisible force” was pushing against the door, preventing him from leaving. The room also became noticeably cooler and a “low growl” came from the speakers as a Then, without warning, Kay began frantically scribbling song lyrics on a note pad, seemingly engaged in a conversation with himself. As soon as he put the pen down, the studio returned to its normal state, as did Kay himself, having no memory of what had just happened or any recollection of the how the lyrics on the pad came to be. The lyrics generated from that session are exactly what Kay sang for the song “Awake” to the letter. Upon playback of the vocals, Kay and Track were astounded to hear an eerie, “deranged-sounding” voice whispering underneath the track. Most of it was indecipherable, but there was one phrase that stuck out, “Sing my words.” As strange as it was, the band liked how it sounded; so they decided to put the phrase on a loop and include it in the final mix of the song. But this “X-File” doesn’t stop there. Paranormal Investigator Susan Alvarez, an experienced Medium, was brought in on the case and immediately sensed a strong and, according to her description, “sad” presence. She asked the band if the name “Lane” meant anything to the band. There were several streets in the surrounding area ending with “Lane,” but she was insistent that it was the proper name of person who had died, not a street. The band still didn’t make the connection with Staley, but when bassist Mark Meltzer later excused himself to use the restroom, he saw the letters “L-S-A-I-C” written on the bathroom mirror, as if someone had let the hot water run and scribbled the letters through the steam. The band, which bears a striking sonic similarity to Alice In Chains and are admittedly major fans of the Seattle rockers, began to make the connection and Alvarez attempted to communicate with the spirit to confirm their suspicions. According to Alvarez, it was indeed the ghost of Layne Stayley, but attempts to ascertain the reason for this presence and his connection with EVEN X were unsuccessful. She was just left with an overwhelming feeling of “tragedy, as if his whole being was stained.” Now that the single is being played on metal radio and the album is available for sale, reports have been coming in from fans experienced strange phenomena surrounding the song. Wayne LaPolt, 20, of Portland, Maine was so disoriented while listening to the song on his car stereo and crashed into a mailbox. Paul Nubar, 32, downloaded the track from iTunes and was listening to it while cleaning an algae-infested pool in Columbus, Ohio when he passed out, fell in, and nearly drowned. Michelle Antares, 18, reports concern for her older brother, Tony, 23, who has become increasingly withdrawn since buying Angry Mirror and keeping “Awake” on a continuous loop on his stereo. Does the EVEN X song “Awake” contain the last known recording of Layne Staley? Does playing it open some sort of a gateway between this world and the one beyond? The band is highly skeptical, but the truth, as they say, is out there. Found this on a member forum at www.aliceinchains.com ...so the question part is, has anyone heard of this? What's the real source? Do you believe it? And has anyone had success in finding the lyrics? ** Listen to the song here: www.myspace.com/evenx I haven't heard of it either. I just found it, and i'm trying to get other opinions, is all.

I had to wipe my laptop a few months back, and now I installed pinnicle studio 14 again but now everytime I click import, it says that it is not responding. Then i have to close it. I am trying to get back to recording gameplay for mw2 for my xbox, but Im stuck with this problem. Please Help!!!

What are the mics plugged to? and after that, to what? Can you explain me the all process? Thanks

Hello, i am using a Dazzle Capture Card and Pinnacle Studios 12 to record Halo 3 game-play off of my Xbox 360. Is there a way to record voice from the mic that's plugged into my computer, while the video is recording. so i can talk as i play, instead of doing a voice-over when the video is finished. Thanks!

other than record things. like what are some things they can do to change/inhance songs??

Great poet, and so many great records. His debut, 'Songs of Leonard Cohen' (1967), would probably make my top 15. I always thought he was Canada's answer to Dylan. 'Chelsea Hotel No. 2' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YDb1mZxQRk 'Famous Blue Raincoat' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aRKZFR5imM 'Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jexNsBjz1r8 'Sisters Of Mercy' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfAyWq3q01I 'Suzanne' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqu3U05tkAw (couldn't find the studio version; this is an equally fantastic live performance) No fans of the Cohen in the house? Shame.

So maybe I'm stupid, but I have 12 original songs that I'm working on getting copywritten. So I have also been looking into a recording studio. Everyone I look at, it brings up "mastering". What is that?

I have an average family video camera that records on miniDVDs. The quality isn't exceptional, but it works just fine for unprofessional, holiday filming. However, when I try to convert the DVD format to AVI or MPEG (or any other editable format for that matter), I either lose sound or picture quality in such a manner that I could have just as easily recorded that with my mobile phone. I've tried XilSoft and a bunch of no name converters but on any settings configuration the result is the same. My last solution was to use Pinnacle Studio to capture the videos directly from the camera, but it keeps saying I need the camera driver for that (which is nowhere to be found on Sony's website). Do you have any suggestions? The model is Sony Handycam DCR-DVD610 The thing is I don't need any useless freeware converter. I've tried like dozens of them. I need fresh ideas or solutions. Maybe how to capture videos directly from camera rather than the DVD itself... Thank you for the links, but converters are not what I'm looking for!
