Do you want to know about video? Here are some frequently asked questions.

1. Brightness control in Windows 10 doesn't work

The Device Manager shows two "Base System Device"s with a yellow exclamation mark. You need to find the Video driver for your laptop (and any other drivers). Go to the laptop manufacturer's Support Site and look for the Drivers. You may need to update both BIOS and Chipset for Video to work

2. Which has better quality: Camcorders or Digital Camera and works FINE on youtube?HELPP?

digital camera is not designed for video (even it can do HQ video). most camera has no auto focus and is harder to handle a camera to do video shooting (u need to look at the screen in very odd angle). so, go for a digital camorder, it gives u larger capacity (longer the video) and longer battery life. for format, both camera and digital camorder should work on youtube (you may need a software to reduce the file/resolution size before u upload to youtube, so the format is not important as it will convert it anyway). for camorder, sony. for camera, canon or nikon.

4. How can I get 5.1 surround with my Xbox and bluray player?

This is the best way to hook up your devices by using a hdmi cable for hd audio and hd video. - 1st hdmi cable to hdmi output on device to hdmi input on receiver for audio, then 2nd hdmi cable to hdmi output on receiver to hdmi input on tv for video (hdmi video passthroughs to tv untouched). - Receiver menu -> manual setup -> hdmi setup -> hdmi audio setup -> send audio to amp (not passthrough to tv). OR run either a s/pdif optical or s/pdif coaxial to sound system if only sound system has no hdmi, R/W is only 2 channels. For audio cables: From best to least: - HDMI or Displayport cables: is capable of up to 8 channels of audio and up to 24-bit-depth with up to 192,000hz sample rate at the lossless/hd compression surround sound formats. - S/PDIF coaxial or s/pdif optical cables: is capable of up to 6 channels of audio and up to 20-bit-depth (16 or 24 optional) with up to 48,000hz sample rate at the lossy/non-hd compression surround sound formats. - Scart or RCA R/W composite audio cables: is capable of up to 2 channels of audio and analog has maximum audio quality. RCA G/B/G/B/T/P for other channels. - (Hdmi, displayport, s/pdif coaxial, s/pdif optical is digital audio), (scart or rca r/w or headphone jack is analog audio).

5. can someone clarify this about DSLR cameras?

As others have said, you can do multiples of up to 30 minutes - but that misses the point a bit. If you are mainly doing long bursts of video recording, why use a DSLR? The DSLR sensors are not designed for long continuous bursts of video. They are designed for photographs with video bolted on as an afterthought. You wo not get power zoom on a DSLR. Your zoom range will be limited because most DSLR lenses are short zooms - and those zooms will be relatively expensive and heavy. AF is often not available in video mode on DSLRs - and when it is available is often is not very fast and sometimes you get the AF and other camera noises on the video. Also, why pay for an expensive 12MP sensor when your 1920x1200 resolution HD video only needs 2MP? Better still, a high quality 3CCD camcorder will have 3 sensor, one each for the red, green and blue channels, which would give you better colour depth. If your primary objective is video, get a proper video camcorder, not a DSLR.
