Video/Movies

I work for a cardiologist as a Physician Assistant. We put our cardiac cath pictures on a disc for a record. Is there a program out there that would allow me to transfer that video to my lap-top and then play on my Sony NR 70? It would be great to take my Sony to the bedside and show the patient their cardiac cath video. I'm not sure of the format of the cath disc, but they will play on mediaplayer on my laptop. Thanks...

Hi!

Difficult if you don't know the format, but I'd try the Kinoma producer. This seems to be able to convert most things so they can be shown by the Kinoma player, at Hi-Res+ resolution. The player is free, but you only get a trial version of the producer. Lasts for 3 (I think) days before it self-destructs (or you pay, of course). Worth a try?

P.S you need www.kinoma.com (not surprisingly)

PictureGear Lite (bundled w/my N760) works fine for me. You could convert the images, and then dump these items as .jpegs to PictureGear for upload to your Clie!

If you are looking to convert videos i would use the kinoma producer. Yes, the bundled software in picture gear lite can convert videos, but it only converts quicktime and the end result is distorted. I like crisp pictures so the distortion is unacceptable but give it a try and see if it is not as bad for you.

To see if the picture gear lite can convert the video you are looking to use, start the picture gear program and the use the menus to go where the videos are stored. If they show up on the screen to the right in coloured squares then they can be converted by picture gear.

I prefer the kinoma player, it is more clear than picture gear or gplayer and the producer ($20-25) is able to convert more types of files. Sorry about all the info but hopefully some of this helps

YES ! I would also definitely advise to use (and buy) the Kinoma Producer software. I have it and it is great. result is excellent and full screen is a must !!

One little trick: if you have a file (like AVI) that you want to record yourself before converting it with Kinoma, do not hesitate to use the 44.100 khz and stereo for it because, even if that makes the file larger, you will keep a good sound quality after conversion and that will not influence the size of your final file !!

I have tried with different sound compression in order to gain some space but the results were awful !!!

If you want to make some nice and easy video/tv capture on pc you can use Flycap which is a freeware !

I have heard people say that they are able to covert DVD movies with kinoma by using a DVD decoder or ripper. Where does one find a progrm like that. Its too hard trying to find a web site that has episodes of tv shows and hasnt been shut down yet. I would very much like to convert my own DVDs to kinoma over download anyway. Any info one the process wuld be nice too.
