  1. Hi all I have recently dug out an old Hybrid camcorder from Hitachi. It is working fine until the point of opening/editing the files on the HDD. There seems to be just one file that is a VRO file. From what i can tell this is similar to MTS in that it can show as one file but actually contains several smaller files. My question is does anyone of know a free converter for win 10 or have access to the original software for the item that is "imagemixer 3" and if so able to provide a download of it?.
  2. Its not a hello but more of thank you. i am soon to be leaving the world of educational IT and would like to say that this site has helped with sooooo many problems through odd fixes and nuggets of knowledge gleamed through years of pain. I will remain a member if allowed but will not be able to contribute much more (although i think my new job will provide its own set of amusing stories and quotes). Thank you the Edugeek family, you are all awesome because you put up with other human beings even though you know you hate them really lol.
  3. Hello All We have just recieved an email from CCLI wanting a list of all songs that have been used in assemblies etc, as i work at a non-religious school i did not think we would have to keep a list of songs played even if they do have some sort of religious context to them. Am i right in thinking the copyright licenses provided to schools don't require a huge list of songs to be submitted to licensing bodies? Also not sure if this is the right section for this post
  4. the limit exists for some but not all. Iv'e never known a DSLR to overheat, unless its in a really warm place it shouldn't be a problem
  5. We've got 10 Epson EB - 530s and so far they have been fantastic even on ECO mode and direct sunlight on the boards.
  6. maybe try OBS as that supports a huge range of input sources
  7. if you wanted a local copy you could either see if you can download from the tes site or use something such as OBS to screen capture the video and then save a copy that way. (not the most legit thing i know but it could mean you dont have to jump through hoops later on to view it)
  8. format factory is perfect for what you want and it keeps the folder structure. not sure if there is a mac version though
  9. the sony handycams are fantastic and produce good quallity audio and video. If you have the budget you could even look at a DSLR on ebay that way it gives scope for useage outside of just recording plays etc and can be used for photography.
  10. it all depends on budget. Free - Shot cut or hitfilm express or davinci resolve. All have ups and downs but are free (except add ons but you may not need these for simple cut edits) Cheap - Adobe premiere express Less cheap - Adobe premier pro For simple cutting of the footage you wont need anything more complicated than the free ones but if you want transitions and effects then you will more than likely need to invest. Hardware wise - It depends on what you are editing and the level of editing. Simple cuts then most machines with an i5 will happily edit all day ( your render times will be linger without a GPU) If you want flashy effects and such then you will want a dedicated GPU with at least 2GB of memory and at least 8GB of system RAM. I do basic edits on an i5 with onboard GPU and 8GB of RAM and it handles it fine but struggles with colour correction etc
  11. Hello The computers we currently use are now way out of warrenty and will no doubt begin failing soon. Given that staff only do web browing and playing some videos and emails i thought what would be the point in getting a full size PC. By this i mean why not use something such as the LattePanda SBC as user profiles are roaming profiles so would not need a huge amount of storage and the specs of the system should handle anything the average staff member throws at it. Has anyone done this or looked into this type of setup.

    VGA booster

    can you use a shorter lead to see if the problem continues as VGA should be ok at 10M, often the main thing that happens is the resolution drops the further you send the signal. given that the problem though doesnt happen on other laptops try looking at the one laptop in more depth, maybe the VGA connector is starting to fail
  13. depending on how brave you are and if you have fixed it by now you could look at swapping the IR sensor from one projector to another and seeing if the problem jumps with the swap.
  14. Forget about merging the pages as that won't work, focus on verifying your page and let the rest take care of itself. as more people like the official page and traffic builds all users will be redirected to the official page. the link below should help when wanting to verify a page https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-verify-page-profile-facebook-blue-grey-badge-2017-alejandro
  15. stitching may be a pain as often the videos are of one scene and the action has to span across the whole of the 5760x1080 resolution. I didn't know about the profile levels so i will look to see if any free programs allow you to change the profile level
  16. search for green screen apps on ipad but if you are editing existing footage try looking into hitfilm express as it allows chroma keying and is free, i think it works on windows and mac systems. Its a pretty simple process of choosing the color to remove and tuning the result. you will want a reasonably powerful machine to make it easier
  17. It is possible, something like this should do the job https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Digital-Transmitter-Receiver-Amplifier-Gray/dp/B0711ZYTG6/ref=pd_cp_23_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0711ZYTG6&pd_rd_r=2d40b3b5-79fa-11e8-a547-9184dfc6e408&pd_rd_w=MVsPe&pd_rd_wg=JxRry&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=3262852920272843952&pf_rd_r=KEZZ63W9W1WE6AWX80J2&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=KEZZ63W9W1WE6AWX80J2
  18. your issue will be power draw, if the tablet cannot provide enough power then you will be out of luck, this is what i have used in the past on computers https://www.startech.com/uk/AV/USB-Video-Adapters/USB-to-VGA-Multi-Monitor-Adapter~USB2VGAE3 is they charge using micro usb try using a micro usb to vga/hdmi as it may be a better option.
  19. i didn't know it even really had that feature, i used to use a spreasheet system i made but it got a bit clunky after a while. i now use parago inventory management software that is really good. im not sure on the price as it was baught before i started and have only really used it for the last year.
  20. Here are a couple of links to videos of the space https://vimeo.com/82182293
  21. its not always a pain, using somethng such as max msp you can set up multi projector systems with ease. we have a room with 4 projectors, 3 on one wall projecting a super wide image and then one on the floor that acts as an interactive display. all of that running from one computer too.
  22. So far the following cannot support a resolution of 5760 x1080 shotcut openshot hitfilm express - i think studio would as it allows for up to 8K resolution but dont have the money to find out. davinci resolve Seems insane resolutions may still be under the control of paid products
  23. i think its going to be a pain unless people pay for items such as premier, despite the hate adobe get for the cost/subscription model they do have some very useful tools/features in the software they make. it seems go pro are trying to ditch the desktop software unfortunately as when i used it a long time ago it was very simple to use.
  24. one big problem is that also the only codec i know of that supports such an odd resolution for video is HEVC/h.265 and the render times using that codec are insanely long compared to h.264.
