Import Video Settings for Samsung VP-MX20 Camcorder

Found this camcorder that I got for my 30th birthday in a draw upstairs and thought I’d post the import video settings on here in case anybody had the same trouble as me when I first got the camcorder.

The main problem with the VP-MX20 is that Samsung seem to have fudged the meta data in their codec, the 16:9 video this camera records should play at 720 x 480, but instead plays at 720 x 405. I had hours of fun trying to work out why my video’s aspect ratio was wrong even when I’d set the correct pixel aspect ratio for the source footage (1.0940) in my sequence settings in Premier.

After a bit of digging, I found the following Adobe Premier settings to be correct for the video that the camera shoots…

Choose a HDV sequence preset: 720p25, then in the general tab, switch the editing mode to ‘desktop’ to give you full control over your program’s settings.

Send HTML emails using GMail

by Peter Moore in Hints

An excellent script for testing HTML emails, shame that GMail flags the message as a phishing email – good enough for testing though.

(1) make a copy of this Google Docs sheet. (2) Then Authorise the script by clicking ‘GMail’ > ‘HTML Mail’ which should appear next to ‘Help’ in the menu bar a few seconds after you’ve loaded the doc.

(3) Then create your HTML email, and after authorising the script (in Google docs), click ‘GMail’ > ‘HTML Mail’ again and send your message from there. Original article found here… http://www.labnol.org/internet/send-html-email/19672/
