I just modded my two "experimental" camcorders with the silent waves - and it is amazing how irritating those bloops were! I noticed I had hangups on sound1.wav, and had to drop batteries to get the thing back up - but the rest went smoothly. Very nice mod. :)

Great! Can this be built into OPS?

lol ooops i killed the splash screen lol now all. i get is a black screen then the pure digital screen now how to fix it? i tryed to upload the origanal pic and all. i get is a file up load eror or something like. have i scrued up or is it repair abol? i have ops 0.13 any ideas. i think i got a lot ahead of my self. i over rote the image that is on the cam with one i had edited. hmm maby the compreshion was to high thanks for any ideas that you guies have. i am planing to get a fiew more cams to work with and one to experiment with witch may be the one i just scrued up.

about the start up and shut down screens
every time i try to upload custom screens. i keep geting a wright eror on my cam now my start up screen is black as well as the shut down screen. wen i do try to up load one it causes my cam to not shut down corectly at first. then it causes the ops program as well as my pc to almost compleetly frees up untill i unplug the camera unfortunatly my main pc is down for the count and i am running on my tablate pc any one have any ideas. i am thinking about uploading my origanal flash image back on to the cam though with how it is not uploading the pics like it is i dont want to scru it up.

Shouldn't we pull the file-by-file method from the HOWTOs? It seems to cause more bricking than anything else, and I've never had a problem with the p4 partition upload. Please, new folks, read around. Review the sucesses and failures, don't just follow the first recipe you find!

i don't think we should totally kill those threads, but maybe just label them as "old method" or something

i got it working and i am sory i had posted the question about the screens in this sound section i do have one question about the sounds. what kind of sound quality can the camera handol? here is a nother one dos any one have any startreck sounds and posibly screens. thank you verry much for your pashionts with me.

the quality of the sound isn't the big deal, it's the fact that the partition on the cam the wav files are stored in is made with very little extra room. more quality or longer wav=larger file, and that partition is very tight for space. that's why silencing the wav files is the only usual thing to do

I think the sounds need to be 8kHz or 16kHz. I've used ones as long as 120K, when the others are silent (to make room). Also, WinImage's "Defrag Image" can be a big help. Audacity is a freeware audio editor that I've used with success. Enjoy! PS: Welcome, new folks. Please search to learn and share what you know!

thank you verry much now to make new sounds for the cam. i have made other mods thoughi will post them elswhere so i dont take up more space than needed.

wile changing the sounds. i did encounter a weerd problem the program would sey it sucsesfuly uploaded the file. yet it did not i finly managed to get the sounds changed aroun. with some work. any one have any idea what is causing this or has ben causing this problem. i used ops .13 during the playing around with the cam.

directly uploading wav files tends to be a flaky activity. it's easier to edit the p4 image and upload it to get silenced wavs

ok thank you next time i alter a cam i will try that idea that way if i kill the cam i will have a nother one to work with.

Flash Images vs. Files
Yeah, I silenced my 3.62 with no problems at all by just downloading the flash image of the media partition (p4), replacing the sound files with silent ones, saving the image, and uploading it. Then I just closed the camera, cycled the power and heard nothing but sweet silence. Thanks for the tip, spasm, flash images are the only way to go for me now!
