DVL-Digest 1139 - Postings: Index After Effects dirty heads or bad tape? dirty heads or bad tape? For Jan PD-150 Memory Stick - (2) VAIO R505BP for editing? [DV-l] Re: dirty heads or bad tape? - (2) - (3) - (4) - (5) - (6) After Effects - "Perry Mitchell" From:Edward Martin III If anyone here uses After Effects, can you tell me if -- as shipped from Adobe -- it has the capability to export MPEG-2 and if so, is it a decent-enough-export for DVD authoring? dirty heads or bad tape? - Jon Burkhart Well, it could be a little of both. The general wisdom of people on this list is to use quality tape and not mix brands. If you do change brands, it's best to use a head cleaning tape for 5 to 10 seconds to help clean the heads of debris. Head clogs don't happen often in DV, but it DOES happen now and then. And, only at the WORST possible time :-( Aloha, Jon Burkhart rb80301 wrote: > > I just recorded a once yearly conference for disabled kids and > recorded 6 tapes right in a row.

For Jan - "Crittenden, Jan" I would then assume that any Panasonic DV with "MQ" in the part number is dry? Yes. PD-150 Memory Stick - "Perry Mitchell" I was amused by the recent conversation concerning the Memory Stick. You may be interested to know that is used as a logo source for Network News 'stringer' cameras. Apparently the idea is that the Network company loan out the cameras and can be pretty hopeful that the burnt-in logo deters sales of 'hot' items to other tv companies. At least I remember reading this was the idea, perhaps somebody 'in the know' could tell us whether it works out. Perry Mitchell PD-150 Memory Stick - "Perry Mitchell" From: Blain But the Memory stick pops right out. How would that deter theft? If it works, I'll try it. I just bought a PD-150 and they are so small and highly portable - good for me but also good for somebody who wants to snatch it. VAIO R505BP for editing? - "Perry Mitchell" From: Randy Quimpo Has anyone has gotten any editing done on the smallish VAIO R505BP? Better yet, has anyone had a happy experience editing on the VAIO R505? I have always had video stuttering problems on my PCG-XG9, and I am wondering whether the R505 with its Pentium IV 1.13 Ghz does something about that problem. Its very cheap nowadays in Hongkong - just US with the docking station included.

Panasonic has a dry lubricant while Sony's is wet and they react in such a way that he heads and entire tape path gets dirty with tape particles. Panasonic offers two lubricants one is wet, the PQ series, and the other is dry, MQ series. Sony has a wet lubricant. It is best not to mix lubricants and wise to keep your equipment clean. >Both my camera and tape deck went out of alignment and evntually had to go into the repair shops. I can't imagine out of alignment but I can imagine really clogged heads. You should try to stick with one brand of tape or type of tape. My preferences would be on the MQ series as there is greater particle density, less head wear and greater durability. But make your choice and stick with it. Hope this helps, Jan Jan M.

Jan: These tapes come in black, blue, gold and white boxes. The cassettes are gray. The tape (or maybe it's the leader) seems to be a blackish or purplish color. The plastic box around the cassette is clear, with mostly black and white liner paper in it. I'm not sure what the "it" is that you're talking about, but I don't see anything that's either brownish clear plastic, or white with a blue lid. -Rik. ---------- From: Crittenden, Jan[SMTP:CRITTENDENJ@PANASONIC.COM] Reply To: DV-L Sent: Friday, May 03, 2002 1:37 PM To: DV-L Subject: [dv-l] RE: [DV-l] Re: dirty heads or bad tape? < Rik asked: I've been using AY-DVM60EJ.

Jan! We're using the same tape that Rik just mentioned. Your description of "brownish clear plastic it is wet, if it is a white with blue lid, then dry" doesn't fit the packaging I'm looking at. There's a lot of this tape being sold. It would be a big help if we can find if the lubricant for AY-DVM60EJ is wet or dry. Thanks.

As you described > the situation it is wet and in that case it needs to go. The wet lubrication is all of the other tapes in the industry including Sony, which certainly has its proponents on this list. It isn't bad, it isn't the same as the dry. It is more expensive. So it is all a matter of trade-offs. > > Another question is that I am assuming the older Mini DV > tapes with the designation of 60 ME are dry. Is that correct? I am not aware of an ME designation, I only know that if the cassette is white with a blue lid then it is a Dry lubricant. > > A few years back this was all very simple. Sony tapes were > wet. Panasonic > were dry. Don't mix them. A few years back they were all wet. Only in the last year and a half has the technology changed to the extent that the Dry lubricant appeared. The wet lubrications were different and you shouldn't mix them, and that is true today. Pick one tape and stay with that.
