RCA didn't use Lines of Resolution in their CED specifications, but a bandwidth of 3 MHz translates to about 240 Lines, the same resolution as VHS, but less than the 425 Lines of LaserDisc and 500 Lines of DVD. The subjective evaluation of people familiar with all these formats is that CED is better than VHS, but not as good as LaserDisc or DVD.

This is a hardware limitation in some capture cards (ATI, Hauppauge, BT848/878 derived cards). The recorded video will not be affected.

This is probably because Windows is animating the resizing of the window. You can stop Windows 98 from doing this as follows:

middot; DVD can store up to 8 hours of video on one disc. DVD has the capability to use multiple camera angles, multiple subtitles, interactive menus and other interactive features (for games, quizzes, etc.) middot; DVD has the capability to store DVD-ROM features for your PC as well, including games, video, web links, etc.

DVD recorders can record video in resolutions ranging from DVD quality to VHS quality depending on the recording speed used, somewhat analogous to the different recording speeds on a VCR. Although there is some variation from manufacturer to manufacturer, DVD recorders typically can record in one hour, two hour, four hour, and six hour speeds. The one hour speed will be very close, if not the same, as DVD quality, while the four and six hour speeds will be more like VHS SP and EP respectively.

DVD contains high quality digital video, and in image superiority can beat the long outdated poor performer of the old analogue VHS any day. The audio can also be of hugely superior quality, even better than CD, and can also include a multiple channel soundtrack. Performance of the DVD does do not diminish with use, like a VHS tape does. There is no physical contact in the reading of the disc, and so nothing to wear out.

Video surveillance systems are generally intended to allow the image capturing of intruders and crime perpetrators. The purpose of these systems is not to make movie quality videos. Recording rates of as low as 1 or 2 frames per second will catch virtually any criminal act. Even at these frame rates, with many cameras all recording on motion, the compressed video files produced are multi-Gigabytes per day.

DVD Video employs a higher sampling rate than even audio CD's, producing fuller, more textured sound. Because DVD audio is recorded and stored digitally, it surpasses VHS in reproducing the "surround" aural experience of the cinema at home. DVD Video can also offer up to eight alternate audio tracks, which can feature foreign language translations of movies and music videos or other special audio commentary, and up to 32 sub-titles or karaoke tracks.

Some of our programs come in both a DVD (or VHS) format and a CD/book format. Which one is better often depends on the student. Some people learn better by listening, others by watching and listening.

We cannot transfer (convert, copy, record) any copyrighted material including commercial movies, concerts, sport events, TV shows, etc. unless you have the written permission from the copyright owner.

Yes, the books (Basic Math through Calculus I) are from the college division of Houghton Mifflin (publisher) and the on-camera instructor is under contract with them.

The primary advantages of DVD are quality and extra features (see 1.2). DVD will not degrade with age or after many playings like videotape will (which is an advantage for parents with kids who watch Disney videos twice a week!). This is the "collectability" factor present with CDs vs. cassette tapes.

You should refer the Rider Selection Guidelines to get an idea of what the Selection Committee prefers. The DVD/VHS should be short -- 5 to 8 minutes -- and should show you and your horse -- NOT an empty arena. Videos must be submitted on a full size VHS tape cassette.

Updates to recordable DVD info and link to CustomFlix's DVD-R compatibility chart. (1.14, 4.3, and 4.3.1) Got around to including minor detail that encrypted files can be copied if disc is authenticated. (4.5)

Yes, your face should be shown clearly and sufficiently enough in the recording to identify you (the image of you in your photo ID and the image of you in your video should be similar enough to make an identification). However, what is more crucial in the video/DVD entries is that some of the footage allows assessors to see the facial expressions of both you and your students.

Assessors should be able to hear all of what you say and most of what your students say on the recording, however, you should not submit a transcript unless one or more of the following conditions apply: If your video/DVD includes brief occasions of manual language without voicing, you must submit a transcript of the conversation from those occasions. The transcript of these passages may be incorporated into your Written Commentary (without exceeding page limit for the Written Commentary).

DIRECTV offers DVR with TiVo service, while DISH Network offers DVR with Video-On-Demand which is similar to TiVo.
