In it, I met again many softwares I used to be using during last decade. ACDSEE, PHOTOSHOP, ULTRA EDITOR and many others, some of them are still my favorite tools today.</p> <p>Watch the Windows Vista I am using now, what a similar looking between the explorer and the old ACDSEE classic. The so called thumbnail-view layout, which I first saw in ACDSEE classic, is nowadays a most common user interface standard.</p> <p>Thumbnail-view is not the only strong point that ACDSEE holds. <br />ACDSEE is still the best when the image browsing speed is measured. That's why I am still using ACDSEE as my picture browser, although the Windows now can do it natively(but slowly). This shows, there is always a chance to survive for an unique technology, like the image browsing speed of ACDSEE.</p> <p>On the contrary, when we turn to the speed of video browsing, ACDSEE falls into the common category of DirectShow filter based applications. ACDSEE does not decode video itself, so its video browsing speed is limited by the DirectShow.</p> <p>This gave an opportunity to the video manager I am using now, the Smart Mate for DV and DVB.</p> <p>Based on special video technology from FameRing, Smart Mate for DV and DVB is 20~30 times faster than DirectShow based softwares when browsing and taking thumbs of movies.</p> <p>I have a Hauppauge HD PVR DVB Box with a tuner installed on PC. I've recorded about several hundreds of H.264/AVCHD movies on my hard disk. They are .ts files, aka transport stream. Every now and then, I need to organize them, search them, bookmark them, share them with my friends. Just like what I did to my Jpeg photos. Further more, I want to edit the movies, like cutting commercials out of them, this leads to the most valuable part of Smart Mate for DV and DVB. It has the world's first H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2 frame accurate cutter without re-encoding.</p> <p>Smart Mate for DV and DVB not only supports frame accurate cutting on H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2, but also does it in a fastest way. It only re-encodes the gop on start point and end point, middle part of movie remains untouched. This gives the highest speed cutting while reserving highest video quality. So called, "Smart Cut".</p> <p>If anyone else needs an easy but professional management solution for H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2 movies from Satellite video receiver, DVB HD PVR, DV Camcorder, or INTERNET, the Smart Mate for DV and DVB is the software you must have. FameRing also has video manager for all popular formats, called MovieShop, I was only using the version customized for H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2.</p> <p>Come back to the ACDSEE, it will always be my image browsing tool, but not for the video browsing and managing.<br /> <br />To me, the Smart Mate for DV and DVB is an alternative to ACDSEE on video files. That is why we like competition, which gives us more and more better softwares.</p> <p>May be some time later, Windows will be able to browse H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2 .ts movies natively(cuts frame accurately? I do not think so), like the thumb-nail view it learned from ACDSEE. But it will never be the only software left, because the unique technology always survives, as it is unique. The customers will always have alternative and better choices.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-should-we-review#post-48664 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:56:21 +0000 jburkhart 48664@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Does anyone have a particular camcorder model they would like to see reviewed?  Give us a suggestion, and we'll try to take a look at it.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/any-reviews-of-sony-dcr-trv27-1#post-42014 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 20:40:53 +0000 chrisColorado 42014@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>The title pretty much says it all.

So we're going to be doing a live review of the first HMC-150 in the USA on Tuesday August 19th, at 11am pacific / 2pm eastern.</p> <p>We're taking it out for a test drive this week, and will report our impressions live at <a href="http://www.videomaker.com/live">http://www.videomaker.com/live</a>.</p> <p>There will be footage from the HMC-150 to download, and the chat room will be active, so if you have a question about the HMC-150's functions or features,  join the live show and we'll try to answer it for you right there.</p> <p>Hope to see you at the show,</p> <p>John Burkhart<br /> Editor-in-Chief<br /> Videomaker Magazine</p> <p>P.S. If you can't make the live show, the review will be looping on our channel afterwords at: <a href="http://www.videomaker.com/live">videomaker.com/live</a></p>
