I've been here 10 Years this month

[paulw]

I see that I jointed this board in September 1999. About the same time that I bought my Rainbow Runner video capture card and used a P200 with two large hard disks. Software on a 4.5G and capture on a 6.5 Gig. Boy have things changed over the past 10 years.
Wouldn't like to hazard a guess what video editing will be like in 10 years time..

I'll hazard one guess: that each camcorder maker will still have his unique codec. After many years of more or less common DV and interchangeable DV codecs, we now have a situation where there is total chaos in the market. I fear this will continue

it could be longer, I remember that we had some board crash or upgrade that forced us to re register.

The person(s) who coded the internet archive should be deeply ashamed, no support beyond basic static html

I was here before 1999 (I think it was somewhere around 1994-1995), and didn't need to re-register. But my original join date was moved to 1999...

I understand Brian's feeling, but I think this is a pendulum motion: manufacturers try their own system, everything turns to chaos, and a standard emerges. And then it starts over again. As Brian said, we've had a time of relative standard, so in comes the chaos (but it will pass)

I've been here since 1998... but my sig line says 1999.... 11 years is a fairly long time.

Got my G200-TV in summer of 1998 and signed up then. Reregistered in Feb 2000.

HOLY SMOKES you brought back memories...

I too was an early adopter of the Rainbow Runner on my G200 Mystique card editing on a Pentium 200 system, running Ulead Media Studio 2.0 (What a nightmare) Ulead 5.0 came out right after and it made things so much easier.

I remember the Doc and I were on the beta team with ungle Haigy, Ant was running the forum, there were only three DV codecs/formats... DVCPro, DV Cam and DV, life was good back then until HD was introduced. Now it's a chaotic mess of codecs!!!

Today I have an AXIO LE, RT.X2 and a MXO Mini, I use the AXIO mostly with Adobe CS4.

All I can say is those were the days

[KRSESQ]

What the heck ever happened to Ant, anyway?

What is this G200 of which you speak?

Geez, has it been 10 years already, thats a long time!

[cjolley]

The G200 is the new advanced replacement for the Mystique 170

I found my way to this place trying to get my new Mystique 170 to play nice with an FIC mb I had then.
1997 - 1998?

Ant dissapeared to me about 5 years ago, I got an icq about an interesting net based biz plan, and then zip.

I know he had some personal stuff going on as well that I won't discuss here.

His account is still active as admin, et al.

When did he last log on though?

I've also been here for many many years - Ah I miss the old days of thinking how amazing Mechwarrior 2 was on the Mystique Miss the old days of Matrox having stands at ECTS and CeBit too!
