Thank you, kind Sir :-)
I vaguely remember the name Stiletto, but it was not
in my old source program data base (I usually keep a copy
of ever version of code that I have ever used on a PC to
the 198x's) - but it looks like I will not need it.
I just successfully downloaded pwrpro47.zip from
http://powerpro.webeddie.com/ and added it to the source
file folder.
In that it seems to be the premier product, and is free - I'll
play with it first, then go to Macro Express if needed.
Hopefully, I can take Power-Pro and create a batch file thing
that will allow me to "automatically" create two finalized 1.5hr
DVD-Rs directly from one MiniDV or D8 tape . The goal is to
plug my camcorder into my PC via TI firewire, place two blank
DVD-Rs in two attached DVD burners (USB2 & IDE) and start the
macro playback at bedtime. I hope to awake to a rewound camcorder
and two open DVD burner trays containing two finalized DVDs
(preferably verified) both DVDs will be stuffed to at least 95%+
capacity. Each of the burned DVDs will have a very simple menu,
and chapter (skip) marks inserted every 5 or 6 minutes. All done
automatically, while I sleep:-)
It's sad that there are no current software All-in-One packages that will do
this simple task, that is, be 100% automatic from start to finish. It's of
no help if you have to get up at 2:00AM to select an option, being the SAME
option that you select each & every time you perform this simple job.
However,
I have reason to believe that a software producer somewhere will "ADD" this
simple
feature to their existing package. Please understand that this software
provider
would never take away an option that you like. This would be an ADDITION,
and
not a replacement, for the old way of manually doing the job with multiple,
and
unrelated PC programs, etc.
LOL - you can still get up at 2:00AM if you are a perfectionist - I choose
to sleep:-)
Again, THANKS for your help!
