Adam Wilt

Adam Wilt has been working off and on in film and video for the past thirty years, while paying the bills writing software for animation, automation, broadcast graphics, and real-time control for companies including Abekas, Pinnacle, Omneon, CBS, and ABC.

Since 1997 his website, adamwilt.com, has been a popular reference for information on the DV formats. He has reviewed cameras for DV Magazine and written its "Technical Difficulties" column, and taught classes and led panels at NAB, IBC, and DV Expo. He co-authored the book,"Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System", part of the Apple Pro Training series; he hopes you'll buy a copy, as there's still a large advance to be paid off.

R.I.P, VHS Distribution

After more than three decades, VHS is fading away…

Today’s NAB SmartBrief points out that the last major supplier of pre-recorded VHS tapes stopped shipping them to retailers in October. They reference a story in the L.A. Times (registration may be required), and The Register also notes the ending of an era.

Though 2006’s “A History of Violence” was the last major VHS release, tapes have been circulating through the supply chain ever since. Not bad for a format introduced ‘way back in 1976 (Japan) or 1977 (USA). But all things come to an end… anyone wanna buy a couple of perfectly good working AG-1960 decks?
