Kevin,
hope to can explain in english.
Step 1:
You need
a) TV-Cart (if you use TV-Cable)
or
b) IEEE 1394 Firewire Host Adapter (Conection for Mini-DV)
or
c) DVD-ROM in your PC
Step 1b
if you use a or b, play the movie in your PC and record it.
you need software, for example videowave 4.0, Adobe Premiere
or other.
if you have a DVD-ROM hardware in your PC, you need software
to rip the files on the DVD. Ask dealers or search in the web
for it. I would search in the web. There a lot of share- and
freeware you can test it before buying (f.e. XMPEG 5.0) Sometime you have to copy the film in two parts in two files.
if XMPEG 5.0 is used than the recording file have to be the '.mpeg' format.
The adjustment for the sound is importent.
looking for best adjustment.
The picture quality is not important.
The adjustment therefor should be about
320x240 or 160x120 pixel.
Step 2:
I convert the mpeg file in a normal '.avi' file by
using 'videowave 4.0'
Attention:
Do not record the full length film in one file.
make more files with about 30 minutes. If you make more than
one file, than be careful to give the files seperates names or
the software will overwrite the last file.
I tried to make avi files directly from DVD, but
they do not work correctly because they are divx.avi files
directly from DVD. But perhaps if you find a better software
you do not need the second step.
Step 3:
Now you can edit the film with software.
Adobe Premiere for example. You load the avi file and you can edit the movie. Thats the reason for the 30 minutes files, you can find scenes easier. The advantage of using software is, you can also edit the sound and picture seperately. That is sometimes useful to prevent hard cuts in the sound.
Step 4:
After editing you can make cd-rom copy for archive or play the sound in your Elmo and record it. At first you have to adjust the same speed of projector and PC, like using video or dvd-player.
Hope this helps. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

PS: Ripping and/or converting needs a few hours, you should let do it the PC while you are sleeping.

Mark,
I have just done another recording and the quality between dvd and the re-record is surprisingly close, especially when you have the capacitor on the sound board changed, they have all deteriorated, believe me, and they will finally go altogether like mine did. Once you have a new capacitor you will notice how clean and crisp the GS1200 can really record, it is very noticeable, I believe that Ugo and Kev now change them as a matter of course.
Although i agree that it is easy to sync up, while showing, and if you got 5.1 then do it every time, but i personally would also re-record the films, just so i know they have a decent soundtrack, of course this makes them more portable if you take your film shows else where and there is no access to dvd, etc..
