I'm attempting to capture some VHS using my ATI 7500 card. When I attach to the composite input, video and sound work. When I try to use the ATI dongle(?) with the separate video and stereo sound inputs, no sound is recorded. I have the output dongle(?) routed back into the sound card "line in"...

Hi all, I need a new battery for my old VHS-C camcorder. The old Nicads are toast. I see Nimh (Nickle metal hydryde?) suggested as a replacement. The ads claim no "memory" problems and 30% power increase. Sounds good, but can I still use my current recharger station (from the Nicad...

I've been toying with an idea for a sub. Do to a very strict WAF, I need to fit a subwoofer behind a couch that is pushed up close to a wall. It looks like about 9 inches of space between the couch and wall. I could build a box roughly 9 X 15 X 60... giving about 5 cu ft. One thought is to...
In theory, what is the best way to mount two sub woofer drivers in one encloser? All on one face? Or on opposite sides of the box?
If you were mounting four drivers, would you want them all on one side, on four opposing sides, paired on opposite sides, etc.?
I assume all drivers are wired...

Hi All, I finally replaced my Sony 560 (Lightning causalty) with a new player, the DVP-NS755. I'm new to the SACD, it was an added bonus in my purchase. It looks like I need to use the analog 6 channel outputs on the player to get SACD output. It also looks as if I can have both the Coax...
