My local FedCo carries only one S-VHS VCR, the Panasonic PVS 4270.  They are
asking $629.97 for it, the last time I checked.

A place in L.A. called Star Club is advertising a "Clearance" on a Panasonic
PVS 4864 S-VHS VCR.  The ad says "VCR Stereo Hi-Fi / On-Screen Programming /
Reg. Price $699, Clearance $494".  I called and they said that some of their
"Clearance" items are Demos, but in this case it is brand new in the box.

Anyone know the difference(s) between these two models?

Happy New Year,

First a bit of netiquete, this topic has nothing to do with rec.arts.books,
and second this thread is no longer appropriate for rec.video or rec.photo
so I changed the followup to go to comp.storage.

Per has hit upon a very important point.  I don't see CDs in my 100 year
crystal ball (except in various museums and in late 20th century arcania
collectors hands).  Heck we can no longer read 800bpi 9track tapes here
and have no easy access to IBM clone 5 1/4 inch floppy drives.

Getting back to my crystal ball as what is going to happen to CDs.  First
will be the development of a high density format CD which will use a blue
(or possibly a blue-green) laser.  These disks will hold probably three to
four times the storage of current disks.  The computer industry will quickly
jump to this new format, the music industry probably won't.

Other technologies I see as being major long term competitors to CDs are
semiconductor and holographic storage techniques.  I have not seen any
thing recently on holographic, so I will leave that to someone else to
discuss.  I see by the end of this decade 2Gigabyte solid state disk drives
in the PCMCIA format for under $500US (1992 dollars).  In another 10 years
it will be 2Terabytes for the same price.  In the same time period I would
expect CD technology to make one more jump forward in terms of density, but
the killer is going to be speed.  You can only spin these disk so fast and
I don't see getting data rates much faster than 10Megabytes per second (if
you can even get that fast), while these other technologies will have transfer
rates of 1Gigabyte per second (give or take an order of magnitude) in the next
few years.

What does all of this mean for PhotoCD, I give it a useful life of 10 to
15 years before we will take our PhotoCD collection and transfer it to some
other format.

   I agree with Per.  Most people - the vast majority of the people in the
   world - are not technophiles.  They are not going to update their media 
   and reading devices every time a new standard comes out.  They just won't 
   do it.  They've got other things to do.  But they will surely want to 
   look at their old family photos sixty years from now.  Most folks get 
   their pictures back and look at them and then toss them in a drawer.  
   Some of the more organized might actually put them into an album.  Then 
   they look at them once every two or three years for a while and then 
   forget about them until one day they want to show them to their grandkids.
   I can remember rummaging in my grandparents attic and coming across 
   various old memorabilia and photos and dragging Grandma up to tell me 
   about them.  I would have been disappointed if they were on some media 
   which could not be read because it was forty years and ten techno-
   generations old, and Grandma would have been more so.  Film does not 
   have this problem.

To clarify, I know several Scots, and they have wonderfully tight
ne-eheheheh-ehther orifices, I think it comes from overcompensating
for tossing off cabers (hurling themselves on telephone poles, for
ordinary sheep, bwaaaa). If anyone knows me, they will know that
tight-assedness is not something I consider, well, a per-er-errsonal
deficit, and sarca-ahahahah-ahsm takes many forms.

I think you overestimate the stability of photographic media.
Metal-dye prints (most B&W, Cibachrome, Polaroid processes) will last
indefinitely provided they are kept cool. They are, like anything
which is 'physical' subject to things like being torn or scratched,
irreprably. Organometalloid, or organic-dye prints (Virtually all
'instant-print' films, most kodak color processes) are, like many
organic substances, subject to severe change with time and heat. The
color stability of a color print is not something I would depend upon.

Prints are also made on paper, or in some cases, polyester. Many B&W
prints are made on polyester-based papers, with or w/o resin coating;
Most color printing I think is done on ordinary papers. All the papers
will be 'acid-balanced', or acid-free. However, this doesn't mean that
the processing which was done with the paper didn't leave (1) acid
residue, (2) fixer (3) bleach (4) etc. Any one of these can alter the
base color and even physical properties of the paper. Baryite coated
paper just looks terrible if your fixer is bad and it gets wet.

Prints are mounted, often. If the medium they are mounted on isn't
acid-free then you will have oxidation and color change of the paper.

In many ways, the stability of photographic media are related to their
cost - which is to say, the amount you spend for good preservation 'up
front'. I think it would be safe to say that a Photo-CD is about as
stable as the media (snapshots) which it is intended to replace.

This is probably an FAQ, but here goes.

The TV reception we get is pretty good, but I do get ghosting, mostly
noticable on high-contast screens like move titles.

What causes it and is there anything you can do to reduce/eliminate it?

I have an external UHF antenna mounted on my chimney, about 2m about a
flat metal roof. We have clear "line-of-sight" with the translator, which
is about 7km away.

Can anybody recommend a good "antenna book". I'd like to know more about
this esoteric science.

Hi!
I would like to buy a big screen TV set.
But I don't know much about the current models and their performance.
I prefer the size of 32".
I don't need a built-in surround sound processor since I have 
a Dolby Pro-Logic receiver, already.

Please help me decide which model I'd better buy.
I am considering PANASONIC CTP-31XF20, TOSHIBA CN3272B, and SONY 32XBR35.
Is the model name of the PANASONIC GAOO, CTP-31XF20?

Thank you in advance!

I've got a TR45 (yeah, it's old, but it works GREAT and i'm happy).  I
too have this problem with the motor noise from the zoom and autofocus
which is actually quite annoying while filming quiet scenes (nature
scenes for example).  I also don't like the way the microphone 'focuses'
or rather it's lack of focus.  If I zoom in on something the mic doesn't
zoom in, but rather picks up local sound (including zoom and autofocus).

I thought they would have fixed this problem in the newer models.  I 
suppose I could use an external mic, but what a pain.

Has anyone else had this problem?  Anyone have a way around it?

Hi.....the header pretty much sums it up.....where can I get
Hi8 format blank videotapes in the Detroit area?  I tried
Fretters, Highlands, Sound Warehouse, Harmony House, various
camera shops, etc.  These things are incredibly hard to hunt
down!  I finally forked out $40 to buy two Sony ME-120 Hi8
blanks at Century Camera on Woodward in Royal Oak.  I know 
I got ripped off, but I was getting tired of looking for them
and needed some extras for our holiday visits.

Any clues as to where I can get them at reasonable rates
around the Detroit area (specifically Royal Oak/Ferndale 
or Centerline/696-and-Van Dyke areas)?

Thanx,
Scott

I believe that the problem lies with cable.  I don't believe that
cable can handle the Dolby Surround Signal.  (of course, someone
will correct me if I am wrong)  The expensive solution to this
problem, would be to invest in a satellite dish, and get all
movies in digital stereo Dolby Surround.  :)
