My old Western Digital HDD’s power supply died down on me just when I needed my files the most. *Note: I’m referring to the old WD Elements, with the 5-pin power supply and not the recently upgraded ones with A/C Adapters.
At first, I wasn’t pretty sure if it was the power supply or the drive [...]

The scope of analog video capture is vast, so we’ll focus more on transferring videos from a digital camcorder using its A/V output.
With the use of A/V cables, you can literally digitize and convert videos from any medium to any other medium such as Betamax, VHS, Hi-8, etc. so long you have the playback device [...]

Ever since I started doing video projects, I’ve always resorted to capturing footage via component when dealing with mini-DV tapes. You know, those A/V cables with the yellow, red and white. And I seldom use them anymore ’cause I’ve already sided with those that record on SD cards and mini-DVDs. They’re easier to transfer.

I guess everyone in the graphics industry has come across this point one way or the other. Basically, it’s the error we get when we export files in a different format with Adobe Illustrator. This even occurs in the most ridiculous instances: exporting a 1MB AI file to JPEG through 4GB of RAM and still [...]

If you’re still using web-based emails, be it for your business or not, then you’ve got to step it up a notch! Having a decent email client like Microsoft Outlook 2007 or Mozilla Thunderbird would do.
Actually, both are awesome. MS Outlook is part of MS Office so unless you’re a relentless maggot of a pirate, [...]

Though compared to other camcorders, this is considered one of [...]
