Looking for Hi-8 Deck/VCR/Player

Hey eveyrone. Well, I started out with Hi-8 tapes when I was 13, then moved on to Mini DV at 17, then moved onto SD cards at 24.
I have LOADS AND LOADS of Hi-8 tapes that I would still like to capture onto my HDD.
Only problem is, my old Hi-8 Cameras (sony trv-350 and 750) are out of commission. Tapes won't eject, ejection ports won't close, making play back impossible, so I smashed them into pieces for a video.
I have been on the hunt for a Hi-8 Deck similar to one you would have used when Mini-DV tapes were all the rage.
I simply wan't a unit that I can place Hi-8 tapes inside, with video out to a TV, and a fire wire port to go to my computer, that's all I want.
I'm only seeing Hi-8 VCR's online that go for over a grand, that's simply not going to work for my budget.
I know I could probably just buy a crappy Hi-8 camcorder with a firewire and do it that way, but I would much rather have a pretty looking deck sitting on my desk instead of some random hi-8 camera that I'll have to stow away somewhere.
Anyone know where to look for this?

There were no Hi8 cameras or decks that had a Firewire output. However, Digital8 camcorders do have iLink (Sony's name for Firewire) output. Look for a used Digital8 camcorder - they will also playback Hi8 and regular 8 video. If you use a non-digital de3vice, such as a Hi8 camcorder or deck, you'll also need an analog-to-digital converter.

Looking for J2ME audio or video player

Hello all,
I am looking for an audio or video Java player which can be used on Foundation of J2ME platform. It is better an open source Java player (but not a must requirement). I am wondering where can I find related sources?

George

I think there's at least a couple of small application examples in the java tutorials; why don't you start looking at:

Just a clue.

Looking for a non-Flash mp3 player

Can anyone recommend a non-flash mp3 player? I've looked around on the web quite a bit but it seems the ones I'm finding all use flash. I need one that will work on the iPad and iPhone for my websites.
Thanks!

Hi
I wonder why not show you how to use Quicktime.
Because I would use the html5 audio, that way the browser chooses the 'player' to use, and I wanted to give the OP the choice -
<audio controls preload="auto" autobuffer>
<source src="elvis.mp3" />
<source src="elvis.ogg" />

</audio>

Looking for stand-alone Flash 9 player

Can anyone tell me where I can download the stand-alone Flash
9 player for Windows?
The only version I can find in the downloads area is the
browser plugin.
I want the standalone player so that I can see the console
output. I'm just starting in AS3 programming so I need to see the
error messages.

There is no download of the standalone. The only publicly
distributed version
is the browser plugin/player.
Download the authoring tool, Flash CS3 and you will get the
standalone with it.

Am looking for a good video player for IOS 4.1

Hello all. Have an IPhone 3GS for which I am looking for a good (free) video player? Any recommendations?

There certainly is... a video player has been included with every version of iOS.
In iOS4 all media is accessed via the iPod app. iOS5 and later seperates audio and video into two apps, "Music" and "Video".

I'm looking for a new small, efficient media player.

Hi there.
The background that will give you insight into my situation but doesn't need to be read
I come from a very cushioned past media-wise. When I really started to get into listening to music I was still using Windows. It was Winamp first, which I liked but found a little much, but a few coincidences later found XMPlay, a free but closed-source media player capable of playing not only some weird file formats such as MO3, MOD, IT, XM, S3M etc, of which I have a few files in this format, but also MP3, OGG, WAV, and all the other general stuff out there. The timing was just perfect and I "grew" into my "media years" with this player. I used it across my transition from Win98 to XP, and also used it on a Win95 laptop - and I don't even think I had to "help" the system "like" the player to make it work, although I could be wrong.
However, XMPlay has no Linux version, and as far as I can see, no porting is planned. And as I said before, it's closed source, so not much can be done there.
In my setup I had a machine set aside for media playback because it had a SB16 in it, and I'd run it with the bass set to 100% and treble set to 0%. Despite what you might think, the output was awesome with headphones - it could give me a good headache or two without distorting at all.
So, when I first switched to Linux, I didn't initially switch this machine over, but left it running Win98. This got to me in the end so I switched it over... and immediately faced issues. Since there was no port of XMPlay, I needed to find a new player, and fast. XMPlay has a bunch of audio postprocessing features I had enabled, none of which I found support or equivalents for in Linux (for example, an EQ setting promoting bassboost, in addition to that provided by the card - you can understand the headaches). I eventually gave up and ran XMPlay using WINE... and left it that way, for several months. I mean, it worked, didn't it? Then the fact that XMPlay over WINE on a 450MHz processor (it's a P3, haha) used 50%+ CPU -minimum- for the player to even be running (IIRC) got to me, so I decided once again that a new player had to be found. After some digging, I found XMMS to be the most likely candidate (it supports LADSPA and I could configure a bass-boost filter), and for the most part, it worked well. Quite well.
Then... after I recently found myself recording some audio from the SB16's output to my main machine's input (the simplest way to get around the issue that the bass boost isn't very easy to feed back into the card - or impossible, I haven't tried it for so long), and had my headphones connected to my desktop to monitor the recording. Then, after that was done, I somehow started listening to some other piece of music (through my main box), for whatever reason. I immediately noticed a rather stark contrast in quality to what I'd recorded from the SB16 and what I was listening to. A doublecheck later confirmed that yes, my SB16 was of terrible quality, and yes, I needed a solution, since I wasn't gonna listen to that kinda sound quality anymore now that I knew.
Over the past few weeks (months?) up until this point I've slowly been weaning myself off the music I liked so much (XMs and MODs, and maybe the occasional S3M), and the postprocessing features I thought had glued themselves into my ears....
The, uh, like, point.
....so I need a media player that doesn't have much in terms of sound processing, but meets all the following requirements, either built in or as a plugin (as logically applicable):
* Can hide completely, leaving only a hotkey to bring it back. I don't use a system tray and don't want to, for any purpose.
* Is written in a compiled language.
* Has configurable global hotkey support
* Isn't bloated, dependancy-wise, filesize or memory-wise, or desktop-real-estate-wise - something that uses basic C and has a basic GUI preferred
* Controls the hardware volume so that volume changes are instant
* Supports tracks longer than 60 minutes / 1 hour
* Has good file management / playlist support
* Is something I can throw a gigantic directory tree at and expect to load all the music in it, FAST. I could throw my entire 32GB HDD at XMPlay when I wanted to see/remember what new music was on it and I'd just leave it alone for slightly under 5 minutes. When I returned to it, bam, playlist. That was on the 450MHz P3, running Win98. XMPlay also gave me feedback - if you can recommend something that shows me where it is on the filesystem, that'd be great.
Up until now, Audacious has met those requirements. But it's had the following issues:
* The track details window won't open for random tracks
* The time display stuffs up for tracks longer than >60m, showing the position at 0:59, then, 1:40, then after 10 minutes have passed 1:41, etc
* The volume control randomly forgets how to change the volume, and I refuse to change the controller to use a software volume since it'll induce delays
* The system has no ability to add directories recursively - this was present in XMMS, but the BMP guys removed it (?!?!?!) and since Audacious is a fork of BMP, ...
* The latest version's global hotkeys plugin restores the window to a non-changeable location when I use the "toggle player windows" function. As a visual person I find this a huge blocker.
Now for the list of players that don't do what I want. XD
* mpd - expects all your files to be in one folder; mine are everywhere, even thrown across sshfs mounts to other systems.
* audacious - ...
* xmms - too boring. GTK1. old stuff. unsupported.
* xmms2 - seems too "unreachable". I haven't tried this player yet, mostly because Arch has no clients in the repos. *stab*
* banshee - 200TB of dependencies, and it needs 400TB of RAM to run. Read: I dislike Mono.
* rhythmbox, banshee, amarok, exaile, quod libet - iTunes-ey UI. I hate iTunes-ey UIs.
* songbird - depends on the Gecko rendering engine. I have 512MB RAM, and I already run Firefox, thanks.
* bmp, xmms, audacious - winamp-ey UI. I want to move away from winamp-ey UIs.
If you have any suggestions... I'll be amazed.

Sonata, disable system tray icon, modify any panel settings to ignore it
* Is written in a compiled language.
mpd is written in C
* Has configurable global hotkey support
Set up keybindings for mpc commands
* Isn't bloated, dependancy-wise, filesize or memory-wise, or desktop-real-estate-wise - something that uses basic C and has a basic GUI preferred
mpd uses basic C, many, many GUIs for it around, extremely small memory footprint
* Controls the hardware volume so that volume changes are instant
Keybind alsamixer commands
* Supports tracks longer than 60 minutes / 1 hour
Is there a modern media player that doesn't do this?
* Has good file management / playlist support
I never use mpd's playlist capabilities, but they do seem fairly extensive.
* mpd - expects all your files to be in one folder; mine are everywhere, evn thrown across sshfs mounts to other systems.
Apparently you have never heard of symbolic links. OH SNAP! Just create a single directory to collect all the links in. Also, mpd does not expect everything to be in one folder; it expects everything to be available from one parent folder, allowing you to organize beneath that parent.
The problem you're having isn't that you're looking for a music player, you're looking for a wm/media player/file manager, and that just doesn't exist on Linux, largely because we are sane (for the sake of argument, ignore Songbird right now, I don't think any of us are crazy enough to use it anyways). Like looking for a zebroctonoceros, even though a zebra exists, an octopus exists, and a rhinoceros exists, they do not exist in the same creature. For interfacing with X (keybindings and the disappearing music player), you're better off going through a configurable wm like Openbox. For the actual music playing, well, I don't see any problems with mpd besides your music files being messy, and you can't expect music playing software to solve a personal organization problem. If your file system is messy, then use a file manager to fix it, not your mp3 player. I put a lot of effort into keeping my music files properly tagged and accessible from a single top level directory called music, which then splits off into mp3/ogg files, flac files, podcasts, etc, and that largely solves the problem of wondering where s--t is.
Another idea for you, if you have multiple machines. Collect all your music onto a single machine, and then set up that system to serve exclusively as an mpd jukebox you can listen to from your other computers over the network. Give it a try.

Most cloud music players will only access their cloud folders, not

Looking for a specific QuickTime player

Hi,
I'm looking for a specific QuickTime player. The one that has the interface with round buttons like tear drops and not the flat buttons the we have today. I think it is in version 6 of QuickTime but I'm not sure. If someone could send me only the player. If you need a picture of the buttons, I can send you one...
Regards,
Harmonium
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Well, is controlling Audacious from the tray all that... needed?
I use Global Hotkeys and have quite a few bindings set up. They work surprisingly well.
The list as it appears in the hotkey editor window:
Previous Track: Control + Alt + Prior (PgUp)
Play: Control + Alt + Return
Pause/Resume: Pause
Stop: Control + Alt + End
Next Tracks: Control + Alt + Next (PgDn)
Forward 5 seconds: Control + Alt + Right
Rewind 5 seconds: Control + Alt + Left
Volume Up: Control + Alt + Up
Volume Down: Control + Alt + Down
Pause/Resume: Control + Alt + Insert
Stop: Control + Shift + F11
Pause/Resume: Control + Shift + F12
Next Track: Control + Shift + F10
Forward 5 seconds: Control + Shift + F6
Rewind 5 seconds: Control + Shift + F5
Previous Track: Control + Shift + F9
Toggle Player Windows: Super + e

I'm looking for a music player that can skip forward and backwards a few seconds?

I'm looking for a music player app that can skip forward and backwards a few seconds?

MPD rocks, runs here for months without major problems.
The client side is very flexible, you can choose many players:

For X, for console, etc..
Edit:
MPD supports Icecast also, to create streams.

[Solved] Looking for a simple music player

Hello there,
I'm looking for a music player for a box I'm currently building. I only need it to have a GUI, playlist support and random playing. I've thought of xmms2, but the standard package comes without GUI and I haven't found any clients with random playing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Last edited by Surgat_ (2009-10-21 20:37:46)

as simple as they get:
xmms: (not xmms2!)
audacious:
audacious is a form of bmp, which is a fork of xmms... they're all basicly the same, audacious is more up to date though.

Looking for a good music player application........

Hey everyone,
I am still looking for a great music player app for the Bionic and wonder if anyone could provide some good suggestions. The apps I have tried have all had something wrong with it
1) The bionic stock app is ok, but the lock screen widget is very small and a pain when driving and have to be precise when hitting the skip button, otherwise, it dissapears
2) Google music app doesnt have a lock screen widget, wth?
3) Power Amp is probably my favorite, but has 2 big bugs...ill be listening to music thru my ear buds and when i get any sort of notification, the music goes thru the phone speaker, and i listen to my music very loud. Also, when listening to music and having navigation going at the same time, the music still plays when the navigation voice kicks in, on other apps, the music stops
4) MixZing doesnt have an option that allows you to go to the home screen from the lock widget, it only allows you to go the device lock screen making you have to unlock the phone twice
As you can tell, the lock widget is a big deal since I listen to music in my car often while having the navigation going. Any suggestions? I may just trash this phone with the data issues and drop another 300 for the Rezound since the reviews have been good (so far) but until then, was wondering if there is an all out good music app out there.
Thanks everyone!

Stock lock screen does not normally support 3rd party widgets so you wont find any third party players that allows you access while on lock screen.. As for the player I perfer Meridian Media Player Revolute from https://market.android.com/details?id=org.iii.romulus.meridian&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5paWkucm9tdWx1cy5tZXJpZGlhbiJd

Looking for a good music player app

Hi.
I have a problem. i'm looking for a good music player app for my new iphone (which i will buy my next month) in terms of playing music. after having 3 phones in the last 9 months i'm still unhappy.
Had a Samsung Galaxy Ace. sound was above average but due to underpowered processor + RAM (and Samsung stating they won't update the software anymore) i had to sell it.
Than had a Sony Ericcson Xperia Neo but felt the sound was "flat" and bland" and left me disappointed and uninspired coming from a well-known phone maker know for its audio & visual expertise.
Now, i currently have the HTC Desire S. umm although the sound was "Ok" with its usual pre-set equalizers (common among Android phones) and SRS sound enhancement it felt me wanting more and although i have the phone for a week now i would say "so far-so good."
but i heard the best music phones out there are those with either Beats Audio (which are very brand new) or the ones with Dolby Mobile.
had an iPod touch (4th-gen) and i was amazed and impressed by the sound quality.
so, if i can get away with a good music player app that recreates surround sound, has good preset EQ's along with customisable ones and one with Dolby-like support which app would you recommend?
Thank you.

Looking for a music player app for the ipad

Musician looking for music player app to play my sound library
Folders, set lists......ect.....
Must be able to automatically pause between songs, not like iTunes where you have to manually pause
I have to time to manually pause between tracks since i use this for my live performances.
All thoughts and advice welcome
Doc

Try making a 5 second blank .mp3 file or however long you need your pause to be between songs, then create a playlist and insert the blank .mp3 between each song. Just a thought to help save some money. I believe the DJay app allows this though, but you might want to ask the developer on their website before purchasing just to verify.
Good luck,
Christopher

HT1391 I recently purchased music from power music. I downloaded it to I tunes. I don't know where to look for it in itunes. I am not that computer savvy but I would like to put it on my mp3 player. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
