Panasonic DMR-E80H and Pioneer VR-5100H editting commercial

[spiderman2k1]

How long does it take to edit out the commercial of you record a one hour TV show. Does editting work like a PC with a capture card. Where you edit and get six clip's then have to esit them back together? I use MPEG2VCR very fast MPEG 2 editter some time's use TMPG slow then MPEG2VCR. So once I capture a show long until I can hit burn? Thank's

I just got my E80 a couple days ago, but it's pretty simple. You go into editing mode and watch the program you want to edit commercials out of. Using the Fast forward/Reverse/Frame Advance buttons you navigate to the starting point where you want to remove the commercial, set that start point, then move forward to the end of the last commercial and set the end point. Next you erase the segment you just marked off. You're just snipping segments from the original program, not creating pieces of the show that have to be put back together.

Pretty easy. Very similar to using Premier or other audio or video editing software. You can remove a marked segment as small as about 3 seconds.

I can do a one hour show in about ten minutes. You don't get six clips, you get one. In my DMR-HS2, you will go into 'Shorten Segment' mode, hit start when you get to the first frame of the commercial break, then hit end on the last frame, it then removes the entire section. I do it on on my computer mostly now though, on my Panasonic LF-D521. I've edited hundreds of programs and can remove as little as one frame on the DMR-HS2, not three seconds.

"Captain Satellite" I have another question do you have to edit all the show's if you have two or more at the same time before you burn or can you just edit one show let say Star Trek and can the Panasonic save the edit for that one show. Then record another show next week and edit that one. Then burn. Saveing edit's would be nice.

Sure, you can do that, the E80 has a hard drive. Hell, you can save one show edited, one unedited, divide one, save the original, etc. People will slam standalones, but I do both computer and Panny recording and editing, they can co-exist together quite nicely.

"Captain Satellite" Thank's for the help. I'm pulling my hair out on witch record to get Panasonic 80E Pioneer510 or Sony DVD-+RW. I read some people have had problem with Panasonic DVD burn's other DVD player's Pioneer I read has bad Sp recording. Sony has the best MPEG 2 but no hard drive. Has there ever been firmware update for Panasonic DVD recorder's?

If I could only choose one, it would be the Panny all the way - no contest. It's all I had for six months, but I love my computer set-up as well. There can be compatiblilty issues and yes, I had more woth the Panny, no doubt. The rest is up to you.

Not sure about that, don't need that capability myself. I buy all of my stuff from RIMA.com - thanks.

"Captain Satellite" What brand of media do you use with your Panasonic 80E and what do you think of the XP SP and the other recording speed's. could you please rate 10 as bestso I can have idea of picture recording. Thank you

[spiderman2k1]

"Captain Satellite" One other thing does the Panasonic 80E if a show has Surround Sound will it record it in Surround Sound or just stereo. Thank you

My source material is DirecTV - satellite. Although XP is the 'best' recording speed, you'd be hard pressed, and I mean impossible to tell the difference between XP and SP, although I record in both, yeah, I'm nuts. All slower speeds are poor in comparison. I use Beall DVD-Rs but record 99% of my stuff to DVD-RAM because I get it for 5.60 a pop for a double sided RAM disc! Beall is the most compatible media for these decks. I own the DMR-HS2, not the E80.

Good question... you are talking about surround sound that was here before 5.1 digital surround. That was somehow encoded into clasic 2 channel stereo sound.

"donpedro" could or any one else do a test with DVD2ONe or CloneDVD. One tip I ripped a DVD with Smartripper and nero said some thing about not liking the file do you still want to burn I click yes. That DVD would not play on my DVD player. One time I ripped the movie "The Hunted" with smart ripper just ripped the movie then encode with IC8 then burned with IC8 after it was encoded. That DVD would not work. DVD that got ripped with Smart ripper that are 4.3gig's and Nero does not like the file's DVD2ONE alway's fixed the problem. Just run the movie into DVD2ONE Nero never had a problem with those DVD's.
