When preparing images for web or for TV it can be quite nice to have a tool that is easy to use and delivers great results. It does not hurt if the program is small and on top of everything is free.
This is exactly what Resize.exe is. The program is made by Peter Bone and you can download it from his website, http://www.geocities.com/peter_bone_uk/resize.html . Another great thing about the program is that it does not require any installation. So you can put it on your USB drive and bring it with you all the time.
Peter Bone has a few other programs also available for download on his website.
When I train people in video editing I try to get everyone to understand the importance of labeling tapes with unique names. This way you avoid the searching for "Tape 01" when you are going to batch capture your sequence.
I promised my students in Norway to find someone that can supply labels like this, so here it is:
Bjørn Aurmo
ELLCO Etikett Trykk AS
Pb 14
1438 SKYTTA
Phone: +47 6706 2043
The point is to have one label that has the name of the person or company plus address in addition to a number that starts with a letter or two. And then two smaller labels with the number only. You place the big label on the front of the cover, one of the smaller at the end of it and one on the cassette.
When you capture, this number is what you use as tapename. Put these labels on as soon as you buy the tapes. No need to wait until you are going to use them.
Another benefit of this is that it is easy to use this number in a tapedatabase for identification.
Here is the quote I got from the company:
500 stk size: 40 x 22 mm kr 1300,- plus mva
500 x 2 sets size: 24 x 12 mm kr 1400,- plus mva
