Just for fun... my granddaughter with grandpa's camera at a family event in 2018 (she turned 13 last week... they grow up so fast!)

I don't know what standards exist for that, sorry. Yes, I no longer use DVD's. Just thinking of a way to make it easy though. I used a DVD recorder for a number of years when I shot performance video in Philadelphia at the Academy of Music. It was a "brainless" way to get video to people when...

If it works as advertised, $80 would be a good price and make the process easier if you want DVD's. There are a lot of steps and software involved getting from tape to DVD on a computer! If you used that recorder, you could then just rip the DVD's with Handbrake to turn them into computer files.

Good point - I have moved these posts to this new thread.

Mod Note: the discussion of capturing old videotapes has been moved to a new thread here https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/capturing-archiving-old-videotapes.14390/

I don't do much video anymore, just some fun projects with my talented performing arts family. Still using a Sony XDCAM-EX1 that I got in 2010. It records on proprietary SxS memory cards. My old MacBook Pro actually had a slot for these cards but the format never caught on, it's been replaced...

"It depends". If you recorded in SP format (gave about an hour recording time on standard tapes) then the chances are pretty good. If you used the slower tape speeds (LP, EP) then it may be hard to read. Also, as cameras age the alignment of the heads can drift which may create a situation where...

Another option, if you want to try something different, would be to get a vintage Mac, something like this perhaps (you might want a bigger disk, or maybe just get a big external USB disk to store the video). I would suggest spending another $40 and getting the version with a 256gb SSD instead...

I could point you to some Macintosh discussions, but you said "PC" and that gets more complicated. MiniDV cameras used IEE 1394 (aka FireWire) interfaces which were standard on every Mac for many years (up through around 2012). That standard was never fully embraced by PC manufacturers, and you...

All very true. However, this could also be compared to the demise of gps-themed forums such as GPSReview, GPSPassion, GPSTracklog and LaptopGPS. I was a moderator for many years at GPSReview and IMO it really was the best site for reviews and forum discussion. One day it just vanished with no...

Of course, there are many AI-enabled tools that have some exciting possibilites. But that isn't what I was thinking of. We're just about to the point where you can give a prompt such as "misty morning pinelands bog with a lone eagle on a dead tree in the style of Jon Holcombe" and it will spit...

Yes, it's a brave new world with AI and I don't think society is ready for it. I thought this was sometime off in the future, but now it appears to have arrived. Glad that I had a successful career as an artist/designer and retired when I could. I suppose artists will adapt as well as they can...

Been awhile since I visited since I'm not in the market, but this was always one of the best sites for information on digital cameras. No more; they are closing down in a few weeks and then completely going away soon after. https://www.dpreview.com/news/5901145460/dpreview-com-to-close

FWIW, the NJGIN maps appear to be working, at least for now (10:00AM)

I find that very interesting as well. Of course, this is only six years worth of data, so it's hard to draw any conclusions. But here are a couple overlays that might be of interest. And it's not just the area you have circled. Less obvious, but there's a magenta area (very heavy precip)...

Not planning on it. Is there somewhere to find that data? There wouldn't be much to show in the Pines. :)

Just processed six years of precipitation data (all the historical data they have) from the NWS to use on my new Pines site. It will update continuously as you move around the map, like the other data. Made this map of totals, just for fun. They're cumulative, so you'd need to divide by 6 to...

FYI, another outage is coming on Monday at noon for an hour, but then there will be a major outage all day Tuesday. It should affect the same maps again, both in NJPB Maps and boydsmaps.com. Due to scheduled maintenance, NJOGIS map services & applications may be unavailable on Monday, March 20...

Just noticed that the boundary for my 2020 Pines Topo was set too too far South, preventing you from viewing the Northern section of the map. :bang: Basically, you couldn't get much farther North than New Egypt. This has been corrected, so you can now explore all the way up to Allaire.
