Hello- I have been following the group for a while and am glad there is a resource like this. Keep it up! My question is: on a dep with multiple deponents, do...
Michael, I'm not sure what you mean when you say 5 deponants in a depo. Each witness/deponant should be considered a different depo. Each should be on a...

I charge a two hour minimum from the scheduled start of the first deposition and an hourly rate after that regardless of the number of deponents. Each deponent...
Michael, I ALWAYS ask prior to the deposition 1) how many will be done, 2) will all be done at the same location on the same date? When several are scheduled...
When I was an independant videographer, I used to love being a HERO when another videographer failed to show up for a scheduled deposition or video was never...

Terry, I have a Sony camcorder which will not go into standby mode if the tape carriage mechanism is in the eject position. You may want to see if your Sony...
Thanks Kyle, Are you speaking about when the carriage is in the up mode? I could not get it to stay out of standby while the tape was still in the deck. So...

Try it with the carriage out in the eject position. I know this seems stupid and looks weird, but it worked for me. I don't know jack about either the DSR 250...

Actually, most Sonys will not go into standby as long as no tape is in. You shouldn't have to keep it open. Terry, I am continually impressed with your...
Michael and Kyle, You are both correct. Over the last 15 minutes I turned on my DSR-200a to check this out. I did not put a tape in the carriage and kept the...

michael, that was nicely said... most people nowadays seem to take the time to rebut rather than to compliment! lori <smile>...
Sony now has available Digital8 tapes that can record for 135 minutes in LP mode for $10 each. With that removed as a stumbling block, and assuming a VHS is...

Thanks Matt, You're right I do need to add "groups" in there. Sorry for the miss guided email. BTW, you might check out the site. legalvideo@yahoogroups.com....
Carol, I wish I could tell you how this is done. But I can't. Someone in the group will know though. Someone help her out. This would be a great income ...

I am looking to upgrade from VHS to DV. I know the PD 150 seems to be the new thing, but I don't think I want to spend that much $$$ just yet. I would really...

Terry, I will be purchasing a new DV camera soon (within a week). I want to spend around $3000 or so. Also, I could afford the PD 150, but I'm a part-timer....
