• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Printing Stills from HD Videos

Correct me if I am wrong, but can't you just use an adapter? I have a micro SD to Mini SD adapter that I use for my HV20, and it works great. Micro SD cards are awfully cheap now. :)

That's definitely an option, but I've had situations where the adapter wouldn't work (just have to test it to be sure). The ideal scenario would have been for Canon to engineer it as a micro SD slot, but such is not the case. It might be worth snatching up an adapter or two since it is a viable option per James' suggestion. Just an FYI, there are 2 GB Mini SD cards available on Tiger Direct's website.
 
Good day all,

I did notice one thing with MPEG Streamclip.

If you are encoding some versions of HD that is in MPEG format, it "forces" you to install "version 1.81 and only that version" of Quicktime Alternative.

It does not exit, but shows the "scrubber bar" but not the handy preview window. The work-around is to convert the HD MPEG to another format, such as Quicktime (MOV) or MP4 and use that.

Installing the QT "Alternative" also works, but then you lose the other (regular) Quicktime (I have the QT Pro version and use it). You cannot have both.

QT "Alternative" is an older "stand alone" CODEC for Windows used by some encoders, such as MPEG StreamClip.

Just a note on that...
