From the recording studio to an Aerosmith concert to the MTV Music Awards, he manipulates events to watch them play out the Chili way, using his signature blend of wiseguy skills and negotiation tactics. It’s a dangerous business, and everyone’s looking for their next big hit.

What did you think of the Tebow Pro-life commercial?
I mean in a sense it seems pretty balanced for both pro-choice and pro-life, since his mom basically said she ‘chose’ not to abort him. Right?

(Yes, I’m pro-choice though this commercial was just ‘ok-cool’ for me)

Plot: Three men, three dreams. It’s 1976 in Flint, Michigan. Jackie Moon’s American Basketball Association team languishes in last place, with few fans in the seats.

A tough-minded point guard named Monix is at the end of his career; he’s played on the champion Celtics but accepts a trade to Flint to be close to Lynn, the love of his life. Clarence “Coffee” Brown dreams of stardom: he’s the Tropics’ best player, but he’s a hotdog who doesn’t value teamwork. When the trio learns that a merger is in the works that won’t include the Tropics, they pull the team together to try to achieve the impossible. Can dreams come true in Flint?

Is there a way that I can import Mini-Dv footy without a camera?
I am in a T.V Production class, and I use semi-pro camcorders with AMAZING quality, however they use Mini-Dv tapes, I’am guessing because of space or IDK (please explain if you want). However, is there a way that I can take my tapes home and import than to my PC, without a camera?
I pray to God that there is some sort of video transfer device.

Thanks


I had a similar problem when one of the pins in my camcorder’s firewire port bent and broke. I found miniDV players, but they were more expensive than the camera!

My suggestion for you would be to either request to take one of the cameras home to transfer the film to PC, or transfer the film to PC at your school, and then burn the data to a DVD to take home. Any other solution I can think of involves spending hundreds of dollars on either a cheap camcorder or miniDV player.

Agree with herbertfilby…

Another option is to use an external hard drive to carry rhe video project bwteen machines… If you already have one and there is available space on the drive, that is essentially "free".
