Yes, it's inevitable.

I'm still trying to learn the ratios. What is HD?

640x480, or 800x600 or 1024x768

Probably cause I saved the info, would be a case of opening it up and changing the surface type

Beliria, it probably doesn't matter with textures but with the images you have been generating using terragen it may increase your sales if you make your packages available in popular ratios so the compositors will not have to stretch or crop them. I think, but don't take this as fact that the most popular are:

4:3 or 440x486 NTSC American television
16:9 or 702x576 PAL(Europe) and PALplus(UK I think) television
16:9 or 1280x720 HDTV 720p
16:9 or 1920x1080 HDTV 1080p

It is even more confusing with film/digital film but I think the most popular formats are:

1.85 or 3996x2160 Digital cinema 4k
2.39 or 4096x1714 Digital cinema 4k



I got the information from here. The Wiki information is probably correct but I have no idea if my interpretation of it is.

Carl and Craig, this may interest both of you. It is a hack for the 40d that will allow it to do what Craig was asking about - realtime video capture. This will invalidate the warrantee but may be worth it if you want to do video.

very interesting,

I'd be a bit nervous fiddling without knowing what I'm doing an inside scource tell me there are things simple locked in the programing of my camera which are active in the more expensive models

Craig check out Canon's new 5D MarkII.

yes, canon and some others, are going back through their entire line and upgrading to 'mark ii' or whatever they want to call it. with panasonic, that dmc-fz18 that i was drooling over has been upgraded to a dmc-fz28. it's essentially the same camera but with new technology added or replacing. oddly, i'm not drooling as much over the -fz28 as i was the -fz18.

it's primarily the zoom that i was wanting in the -fz18. it's electric, which i dont care for, but it was 18x optical, which is quite sweet for a non-dSLR. but, i may have to break down and get a dSLR. i've been trying to avoid it, but the nears just arent giving me all the features i'd like in a camera. so, i'm still studying... we'll see

hehe, i'd never heard of RED until you showed me that link, ron. thanks

and yes, it sounds interesting... and expensive

I felt a tremor in the farce.....Capt'n "cheeks ahoy" Carl is MIA.....must be REALLY sick.....

Carl, crawl to the computer and post an "X" just to let us know that you're still alive, buddy.....

Hey Ron, did you get my email???

Edit: Got it!!!

I like "clean" sites like that as well.....
