On my other post with your answer I thanked you all over the place!! You are a life saver!! Could you tell me though two things about the program: 1. After the 30 days will the file converter tool be left in use? 2. And all my MP3 file icons turned to the Windows Media Player icon, why? If you can answer, thanks ahead of time! Barbara</blockquote> Before I answer, let me make sure of a couple things: 1. Are you exporting a video in MPEG4 then putting that into the conversion software? 2. Or are you exporting just the audio line of the video as some random audio format like PCM,WAV,etc? In answer to your question regarding all of your MP3 icons changing to Windows Media... Just follow these instructions to change it back to what ever it was before. Open a folder -> Click "TOOLS" -> Click "FOLDER OPTIONS" -> Click "FILE TYPE" tab -> Scroll down the list till you see MP3. -> Hightlight it and click change (to change the program associated with that file type). -> Then click okay and that's pretty much it. Regarding the 30 day trial... The audio file conversion still works after the 30 day as do most of the basic normal functions. Since I think you are converting a video file to extract the audio, I'm not sure about that functionality. I've never tried that before. THe advanced features cease to workafter the 30 days. But I'm not sure if that is considered an advanced feature. Hope this helps. barbaralaketahoe on "MP3 file converter?" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/mp3-file-converter#post-40867 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 04:54:19 +0000 barbaralaketahoe 40867@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ Thank you Brandon!!

I would imagine you should be able to convert/export as quicktime and then adjust options in a dialogue box to get an aiff or wav. That's how I'd do it with Final Cut.

Barbara Kemper on "DVD Printer Dilemma" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dvd-printer-dilemma#post-37100 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 19:52:34 +0000 Kemper 37100@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ Not a problem. I have heard the aftermarket ink for epson isn't bad. I have not tried it but I feel I will soon. The site that was mentioned was <a href="http://www.supermediastore.com/">www.Supermediastore.com</a> . I read about it on that same forum, just search for epson ink and you will find the thread. They admit it doesn't last quite as long but the price still makes it worth it. Good luck.

I'll have to try your suggestions when my replacement printer arrives. I only wish the Epson ink wasn't so expensive. When I looked for replacement cartridges before my print nozzles died, I saw the cost to replace all of the T078 cartridges ranged from 50-70 dollars. I guess the problem is that I'm used being able to refill the printer cartridges. Kemper on "DVD Printer Dilemma" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dvd-printer-dilemma#post-37045 Fri, 30 May 2008 19:54:50 +0000 Kemper 37045@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ Alukahn, I have been using an Epson R220 for over a year now and I am happy with it. The photo printing (Paper) is far from high res but it's not bad either. The images you get on the disc are great though. It all depends on how clear your source image is but it will give you a true copy of your image. The software that comes with it (Epson Print CD) is kind of basic but it imports photos and can add text, shapes and backgrounds. I am sure there is better software but this has done the job so far. Two things about Epson from my research that may help you; I have heard that you should not turn the printer off. Every time you turn it back on it cycles through the ink and eats up a bit resulting in frequent cartridge replacement. I have also read that it has a built in expiration date of 2 years. No matter how well it is performing, once you hit the two year mark it shuts down. If you go to <a href="http://weddingvideodoneright.com/index.php/weddding_videographer_forums">http://weddingvideodoneright.com/index.php/weddding_videographer_forums</a> and do a forum search for Epson Printers you will see both the issue and the solution to it. I have not had to use the solution because I am at about month 13 so I can not verify if it works. Regardless, I paid about 80 bucks for the printer and I would by another Epson if this one died tomorrow. I would bump it up to an all in one but I would definitely get one that prints to CD's & DVD's. Also, I use a protection spray <a href="http://cddvdguard.com/index.htm">http://cddvdguard.com/index.htm</a> once the ink has dried to keep it from smudging. It seems to work well but I haven’t purposely tried to smudge them. I hope this helps you.Cole Alukahn on "DVD Printer Dilemma" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dvd-printer-dilemma#post-36980 Thu, 29 May 2008 17:08:50 +0000 Alukahn 36980@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ I'm looking to buy an inexpensive printer that prints onto DVD's. I don't print a lot, so speed isn't as critical for me. Quality should be good, but doesn't have to be perfect. I'm thinking about the HP C5280, but I've seen wildly different reviews. I know most recommend the Epsons, but I've had issues with my RX595 clogging and can't afford the ink (I'm actually waiting on a replacement from Epson). I've read that the Pixma's are good, but given my experience with Epson am not crazy about internal printheads. Does anyone have any long-term experience with HP or any suggestions as to another DVD capable printer? yanvid on "SOUND FOR MUSIC VIDEOS?" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sound-for-music-videos#post-35326 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 05:49:04 +0000 yanvid 35326@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ Hey skate-vids, If you are recording a bands music video then you should definitely use the CD quality music as the soundtrack as that is what you are trying to advertise in the video. You should also record the audio track as you film as you can use it as a reference guide, for example if you are filming a band then syncing up the vocalist with the words from the CD is going to look better. Plus edit points like a drum rolls needs to look in time so your guide track will help with that. Ideally you should rig up the CD for the band to play along with so they play perfectly in time with the CD version, even if you are doind quick edit cuts this will help keep things looking tight. You also have the audio track if you wanted to do any special edits e.g. you can have the room noise at the beginning then the CD quality track kicks in. skate-vids on "SOUND FOR MUSIC VIDEOS?" http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sound-for-music-videos#post-35319 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 17:50:41 +0000 skate-vids 35319@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ hi, i am interested in making music videos and i am wondering if when filming i should just turn off the audio track and use CD music or if i should record audio while i am shooting.
