Adobe and optimized for Premiere Pro 1.5. The Ultra Bundle includes
the DV Storm 2 Pro hardware with real-time analog, DV and component

Save $100 on Serious Magic DV Rack
What can I say? The gang at Serious Magic has done it again. DV Rack
is one of the most clever and functional video production tools I’ve
ever seen. What is DV Rack? It’s a powerful software that runs on a PC
or laptop connected to your DV camera with a standard FireWire cable
(up to 50 meters). It puts an impressive array of professional video
monitoring, production and evaluation tools at your fingertips. In
fact, nearly an entire production truck full of gear. Except these
tools are easy to use, native DV, and don't cost thousands of dollars!

Serious Magic offered a $100 discount on DV Rack (regular price $495)
if ordered by July 31, 2004 and we’ve been authorized to extend this
pre-order special through August 20th. DV Rack is set for shipment
the next week.

Don't miss out on the chance to save $100 - order DV Rack today!!:

Pioneer DVR-A08XL 16x16 and Dual Layer DVD Burner
Pioneer was the first company to bring you affordable DVD burners for
under $1,000. Since then, DVD burners have become faster and more
affordable than ever - and the DVDs you burn can now be played back on
just about any set-top or computer based DVD player.

With the new DVR-A08XL Pioneer once again sets the standard by which
all other DVD burners will be judged. The DVR-A08XL is a true 16x16
Burner. That means that you can burn either DVD+R or DVD-R DVDs at a
maximum rate of 16x. The DVR-A08XL also supports the new Dual Layer
DVD standard allowing you to burn a massive 8.5GB of data on a single
disk! That’s enough for almost 4 hours of video at very high quality
settings. The DVR-A08 will be available in your choice of Beige, Black
or Silver for $179.95.

We will be offering a special bundle that includes the DVD+R Double
Layer Solution Kit (a $29.95 value that contains 8 DVD+R 8x, 1 DVD+RW
4x and 1 DVD+R double layer in jewel cases) for $199.95

Still looking for a great DVD burner for under $100?!?
We still have a few DVR-A07XLA units in stock. We’ve lowered our price
to $88.00 after $40 mail-in rebate and we'll still give you a FREE
3-pack of Verbatim 4x Digital Movie disks. Hurry – When they’re gone,
we won’t be able to get any more!

Focus Introduces Firestore FS-4
Introducing Firestore FS-4 and FS-4 Pro, the first DV disk recorders
with Direct to Edit (DTE) technology designed for hand held
camcorders. Only FS-4 combines a small, rugged and shockproof chassis
with full DTE technology performance.

Designed to mount directly to hand-held camcorders, be worn on a belt
or used in other situations where portability is a requirement, the
FS-4 is ideal for wedding and event production, field production,
independent film, corporate, education and many other uses. Powered by
a removable battery system, the small and lightweight FS-4 connects to
your camcorder via a single FireWire (IEEE-1394, iLink) cable. DTE
Technology allows you to record clips in native NLE file formats so
editing can begin immediately after shooting is finished.
This eliminates the need to first capture then convert files prior to
editing.

Pre-Order Special! FS-4 is expected to ship in December. Pre-Order one
now for $749.95 and get an additional rechargable battery - FREE!
($129 value). This additional Custom, Removable Li-Ion Rechargeable
Battery Pack will run the FS-4 for 90 Minutes.
