I am doctor who specializes in ultrasound. My problem is that the current DVD recording system we are useing to record our ultrasound studies have imperfect resolution. Can you recommend one that will provide us with the best image quality. Our ultrasound machine uses S-Video that we hook to our DVD recorder. We are using Winfast video capture card. Should we get a stand alone DVD recorder that is not hooked to a PC ? thanks

    Thanks for the response. The video originates from the ultrasound machine and is transmitted via S video to the CPU that records the images using a video capture card ( Winfast ). Our images are still pixelized despite using DVD format. Can you recommend a better capture card with high resolution. thanks again

    What are you exacty doing ? The Ultrasound system has an S-VHS output and you connect that to the DVD Recorder. That sounds good enough. But what is the purpose of the Winfast Capture Card? What are your intentions? Copy DVD recordings into your PC? Why don't you use a Digital Capture card with an S-VHS input ? Is the Ultrasound Image presentation on your PC the problem ? Then look for a better capture card.

I am sorry to ask you another question, but in order to give you the appropriate answer, I have to know your exact needs.

You want to record the images and cine loops and currently use a video/frame grabber to capture these signals into a computer.
If you are a specialized Ultrasound doctor, why don't you use the DICOM standard for storage and archiving? There are great free software packages out there you can use for this! It will give you the best medical solution for this purpose and if you need after exam measurements etc, all the image display information (pixel info etc.) is already available in the DICOM information. Any DVD recording will give you a limitation in these functionalities.

If you want to proceed with DVD recordings, please be aware that the average Ultrasound pixel resolution is 512 x 512. Besides this, Ultrasound is always noisy and kind of "blocky"..The DVD will never increase this quality and can only downgrade it if incorrectly setup.

If you need more help or information about DICOM use, please let me know and no, I will be obliged to provide you with more information about this great standard.

Hi im a doctor doing cardiac ultrasound and we need to record the videos to highest quality. Our ultrasound machine has an S video output - how can we record at 1080 or higher resolution - what hardware do...
There are a whole load of Video latch on devices for a PC, which, in my view are fairly useless.

I'd go down the route of buying a DVD recorder with a hard drive. You'll need one with an S-Video input. And many now step this up to certainly 720P for a high def, output (HDMI) Newer ones will probably step up to 1080p.

The flexibility of a DVD recorder with a HDD will allow you to record as many takes as you want, edit and title them, also write to DVD if desired.

I'd go for the machine with the largest possible hard drive I could afford, these high def data files are usually pretty huge. Especially when uncompressed.

Worth checking for one that also has a USB port for quick file transfers.

Finally, if funds are available, then a Blue Ray recorder with a Hard Drive. Again make sure you have a S-Video input, USB port and the output ports you need. Blue ray will by definition mean you're using high def. quality video.

Oh ......... check that the box that you do buy also has a suitable connection for the monitor you're using.

Here's a url for the wikipedia website on the subject:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_television

Towards the bottom, there are links to Extra High def 1440p and Ultra high def 4320p

I would imagine we're stepping into the realms of financial fantasy with this stuff, but its worth a read.

I don't think the DVD recording system is the main problem. It receives data or an image from your ultrasound machine and then records it. If you're getting the recording writen to DVD then it's doing it's job. It is more likely that you need a computer with a better video card that can receive better video and play better video resolution. I'm guessing here but some of the better gaming video cards should be able to do that but need to know what kind of computer you have as to what kind of video cards you can use.

Want to copy vcr to dvd on my magnavox mrv700vr
Here is a link to the manual:
http://www.m4c.magnavox.com/files/m/mrv700vr_17/mrv700vr_17_dfu_aen.pdf

It specifically lists disc types that you cannot use to record - it specifically states that you can't use DVD-R discs for recording on this unit. DVD+R or DVD+RW are the only disc types you can use for recording on this unit.

Won't play on any other dvd
You have to use your friend's DVD recorder to finalize the disc. Once the DVD is finalized, it will play in other DVD players.
On your friend's DVD recorder, pop the disc in, and use his remote to go to Setup --> Disc Edit --> Finalize --> OK
Voila!

Magnavox DVD recorder...finalizing problem
The manual isn't too helpful either - "Recording error other than below," it says. There are a couple of possibilities. The Philips/Magnavox/Funai recorders automatically record in VR mode when you use +R discs (there are two possible recording modes - V Mode and VR Mode). Is it possible that you have switched disc types lately? If you are currently using -R discs, switch to +R and vice versa. The manual states that +/-RW discs take a while to initialize.

I couldn't find a full factory reset on that one, so you may have to unplug the unit for about 20 minutes to restore all the defaults.

Another possibility: Finalization requires some extra space on the disc. If you accidentally pressed the button that changes the recording format between SP, EP, LP, etc., you may not be able to fit the same amount of video on the disc that you were able to fit before. You can change the format by pressing the Disc Mode button on the remote - LP Mode will fit 3 hours worth of recordings onto a 2-hr disc and is considered a "medium quality" recording. Try changing the Disc Mode to LP and see if it will finalize the next disc that you record. The downside of this possibility is that the discs that you have already made that are giving you errors are not "fixable" - you will will have to re-record the shows to a new disc in LP mode.

Good luck!

Get an error when i try to record
The strange thing about the Philips DVD players is that -R and -RW discs automatically record in +VR Mode. If the current discs you are using are -R/-RW's, then switch to +R/+RW, but usually you have to do the opposite - you are probably recording on +R discs - just switch to -R or -RW discs. All the Philips recorders do this to one extent or another. Good luck!
