Interesting looking site but some of the links are blocked by the mvps hosts
file...

That appears to be a problem with your particular web
browser (likely the security settings). For whatever
reason that web page uses some kind of (Java?) script
instead of straightforward links. You can see the real
URLs if you examine the page source code.

hey Gary,
nice, but I was wondering on your web site under the 7 programs for
beginners why no mention of Sony Vegas movie studio? or any vegas products
for that matter?
Just curious?

Hi Anthony,

Yes Sony Vegas movie studio is great too. But I didn't include it at
the time of the review

Gary,

I'm confused by your reply. Doesn't your web site show ***free*** programs
whereas Anthony is asking about Vegas Movie Studio and Vegas 6, neither one
of which is free?

Thanks,

Smarty

Hi Smarty,
I'll help clarify, the link Gary posted shows free programs indeed, but I
was asking about why he hadn't included any Sony software in other sections
of his site.
He mentions adobe Premiere elements and Premiere Pro for more professional
tasks but no mention of Sony Movie Studio or Vegas 6, as if they didn't
exist.
I was just curious why? And his answer didn't seem to explain any reason
except admit it.
Perhaps then Gary, you should amend your web site, so state that it is
incomplete until you have a chance to review all popular programs?

Maybe Gary, like a lot of us, doesn't trust Sony now because of
rootpack. I have a Sony camera but wont buy Sony now.

Maybe not but after a stunt like that who knows what they would consider an
ok technical improvement.
Say they decide to add some type of Digital signature to the DV stream in
camera so Sony post products can identify and "optimise" performance with
only Sony DV streams but this is then found to screw other non Sony
products.
Unbelievable? Would have said so once... Now....

Rootkits are an annoyance, as they are hard to remove. Your example is
pretty far fetched, but I am sure a 15 year old kid with a bit of
spare-time, can write a patch for that, which would probably spread like
wildfire.

That's true. However, for normal videography you wouldn't need to install
anything, just for importing stills from memory-sticks. But again, this is
now, and you never know what might be developed in the future.

wrong, the United States is a decaying country whose justice will soon be
forthcoming as she continues to run away from the God that protected her
and built her!

That has to do with the subject how?

Correcting the top-posting it becomes clear that 'doc' was reacting to
the quote in my .sig but missed the reference to Ram Dass being an
optimist. (Still off-topic tho'

Ahhh, yes I didn't see the sig.
As far as "correcting the top posting" this is one of the rare NG's where we
could care less about top posting since the majority of the responses are
"in-line"

If, as you say, you could care less, what's holding you back?

[/QUOTE]

Interesting, which one of the crossposted groups doesn't care about
top posting? AFAIK, most people on rec.video.production do.

A: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top-posting.
Q: Why do I not get an answer to my question(s)?
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
