Ksebara - where is it?

I used to have a Solitaire, now it's in my loft (anyone want it? No, I thought not). It's there because I bought a nice new S-4100, which is working just fine. Now here's my problem. I made a short film about the US Air Force base in North West England, called Burtonwood, for the vets association there, and I made it on my Solitaire. Now they want to change a couple of things and put a voice-over onto it. The only copy I have is the DVD (standard def, 4:3). How can I get the film into my S-4100 so that I can edit it? I have heard about something called Ksebara - is this folk-lore or does it really exist, and if so is it anywhere in my S-4100?

(By the way, if you're ever near Liverpool or Manchester in the UK, go to see the Burtonwood Association's visitor centre in Warrington - it's brilliant. It makes you realise why the "special relationship" between the US and UK is so strong, despite what politicians might say).
Many thanks in advance, and all the best,

It is real and I believe a built in feature of the OS so you should have it.

It's been a while, but it's in the menu with Color Bar, Count Down, etc, just scroll alphabetically for it.

Hello Graham,

Ksebara is located under "New" and is listed in the vertical dialog box in alphabetical order. It is fitting that they decided to call it Ksebara because it is indeed Arabesk backwards. It does just the opposite of what Arabesk does. It takes the signal from a DVD that has been created in Arabesk and puts it back in the edit window so you can change or correct it.

Hi Graham,

if you by chance have the original storyboard on your Solitaire
the quality would be higher if you firewire out to tape and
import to S-4100 again ;)

Thanks guys - I found it, and it works!
Hans-Joachim - as ever, this was a good idea. Sadly, I did a full, destructive job on my Solitaire (I thought, optimistically, that I might sell it). So the original footage is wiped!
Never mind, Ksebara came to my rescue.
All the best,
