I know you can spend hours editing stuff and was wondering if anyone here has some good advice. 1: Suggestions on a Video to digital converter hardware for the old tape player. 2: I'm not sure why but the DVD have MOV files and there seems to be many duplicated clips in the various files. 3: Any suggestions on auto chapter software. Doing it manually takes so much time. I have spent may hours on this subject before hut never came out with a really good solution. Hopefully I can find one now. Thanks Wallace.

VHS tape? Other tape? Maybe there's not a lot of difference. Those cheap VHS digitising gimmicks from Jaycar etc ($80?) are primarily cheap. For VHS it might not matter to digitise all the noise at high resolution, but your camcorder may have had much better quality. > 2: I'm not sure why but the DVD have MOV files and there seems to be many > duplicated clips in the various files. The DVD contains a standard ISO9660 filesystem IIRC, maybe with some minor extensions. mkisofs (Jörg Schilling, not the Debian bitfluff) can create it. Files have .VOB extensions for video, and there are .BUP and .IFO files. The menu structure and text info should be in those two. MOV is a proprietary apple format. I'd expect DVD to have essentially MPEG4 content regardless of what the file is called. Players may acept other extensionsand formats, dunno. > 3: Any suggestions on auto chapter software. Doing it manually takes so much > time. Yep. Human content, human interpretation... > Hopefully I can find one now. Uhhmm. Maybe there isn't an automated one, which is why there's no software for it? We can always hope. I have a pile of VHS tapes that need dealing with, so I'm really interested in some solutions too.

I stress not my laptop but my work laptop, it would appear however that at some point in the last 12 months or so, Microsoft invoked the dreaded - your driver is not digitally signed so i'm not going to load it. Therefore, would anyone reading have thoughts on how I can work around this issue or alternatively pointers to an interface suitable to program Texas Instruments MSP430 microcontrollers that works with Windows 10 or (worse) later. My usage is to connect to instrument device controller PCB via 14-pin header and pushing an updated code file as supplied bu OEM. Any thoughts appreciated and as always - have a great day. Andrew (No not that one, the other other one.)

MSP-430, nice part! Disable the digital signature on your PC will resolve the issue. - Click “Home”，enter “All settings”. - Access “Update & Security”. - Find “Recovery”. Click “Restart now” below “Advanced start-up”,restart the PC. - After restarting, choose “Troubleshoot”. - Choose “Advanced options”. - Choose "Start-up Settings". - Click “Restart”. - Enter "F7" to disable driver signature.
