Why still use DV when we have HD formats nowadays?

Hi guys,
Coming new to the video scene, I have a question about why we still need to bother with DV when the world is going HD these days?
Is it because of the "install base" of a lot of NTSC/PAL equipment (including cameras, edit stations and televisions) that still need the DV format in the broadcast studio workflow?
I am asking because increasingly it seems the acquisition equipment is HD (both consumer and pro) and playback is HD with more HDTVs in people's homes. And Blu-Ray coming out as a delivery format.
And for everything else, including iPods, computers, Web, etc. it's just a matter of converting HD into another size for end user delivery.

I agree with cgbier's comments and would like to add my two cents. I work in television somewhere around market 50. An indie filmmaker or one-man production house might be able to upgrade to HD for under, say, 9 or 10K - probably less. A good-size news television station has upwards of 20-25 production cameras, at least twice as many media decks, and probably more than a few out-of-date NLE's that would have to be completely replaced. And all of those things are secondary to the more pressing issues of replacing your transmitter, routers, studio cameras, etc to meet the FCC's digital deadline next year. The costs become staggering when a corporate owner has to consider these purchases for the 15+ stations they may own. I see a lot of smaller stations simply upconverting their existing SD output for a while.
On the personal side, I just purchased an HDV camera and a new iMac; upgrading my gear for my freelance work. I was using Final Cut Pro 4.5 but was forced to buy FCExpress when I found out that the hardware of the new iMacs wouldn't support FCP 4.5. So there goes the $1200 I spent on FCP and after buying the camera ad computer I couldn't afford FCP Studio. Then I discover that FCExpress doesn't support deck control for HDV cameras. I hope someone can appreciate my frustrations.
I have a few other friends that have had similar frustrations trying to adopt HDV or worse, AVCHD, and become cynical about jumping on the HD bandwagon, pouring more money into it than they had hoped to.

I have a US iPhone 3GS made in 2011. Now in the Philippines I had it unlocked. Now Internet is turned off and no technician can turn it on. I can only use Internet when I have WiFi access. Any ideas?

Please define "I had it unlocked".
If it was not unlocked by AT&T, then it was hacked. Hacked and jailbroken phones can not be discussed here per the TOS.

Why does my mac when i try to format my stick say that unable to write to the last block of the device

i bought a new mac with osx lion 10.7.why does my mac when i try to format my transcend 8 gb stick in disk utility say that it is unable to write to the last block of the device?please help me

This may or may not work, but it's worth a try.
Using Disk Utility, try an re-partition the drive into two partitions, making the second partition very small (a megabyte or two), then see if you can format the first partition normally. Leave the second partition alone.
If this works, then the first partiton is what you will use.

Why the Process is still in deadlock when i have exhaust its error stream.

There is the code:
import java.io.*;
public class ProcessExec {
public static void main(String[] args) {
     * Test the Process created by Runtime.exec().
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    String s = new String();
    if(args.length < 1) {
      System.out.println("Usage: java ProcessExec executionName");
      System.exit(-2);
    try {
      Process process = rt.exec(args[0]);
       * Buffer the error stream and exhaust it.
      System.out.println("ErrorStream data of Porcess:");
      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
      while( (s = br.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(s);
      System.out.println("\n\n------------------------------------------------------------\n\n");
       * Buffer the input stream and exhaust it.
      br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
      System.out.println("InputStream data of Porcess:");
      while( (s = br.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(s);
      System.out.println("Return num: " + process.waitFor());
    catch(Throwable t) {
      System.out.println(t);
}When i run the "javac" as :
C:\classses\lang\java ProcessExec javac
The process run correctly and print the error stream.
But when i run the "java" as:
C:\classes\lang\java ProcessExec java
The process was in deadlock?
Why,in my code i have buffered the error stream and input stream using a BufferedReader and then exhausted them.
And when i invoke the "javac" it ran correctly but why it couldnt run correctly when i invoked the "java" execution?

A deadlock occurs when two locks are dependant on each other.
This is unlikely to be the case here.
With out your exact command line or what your output is or if you have a dealock we will need to see the thread dump which displays where the deadlock is.

Why using EJB when we have BC4J ?

Hello everybody
When I heared about EJB two years ago, I read couple of articles about it and found it useful. Now, when I read about BC4J and the ability they give us, a question pops up into my mind. Why should we use EJB ?
We can simple use BC4J and they are very good. I think there is something about EJBs that I dont know and thats why I think this way.
I'll appriciate any help.
Thanx in adnvace.

BC4J is a J2EE framework that lets you get down to business and focus on building your application.
It then gives you a choice of deploying your application using simple Java classes, or using an EJB Session Bean if you want to take advantage of EJB Session Bean's container-managed transaction (for example, to particpate in a transaction with another bean you didn't write), or method-level security.
The key points are that it saves J2EE developers tons of time by allowing them to not waste their time on writing application plumbing code to implement the many J2EE Design Patterns that all real-world applications need.
Around 800 Oracle Applications developers inside Oracle are using the BC4J framework to get their self-service web applications to market with better features in faster time than their competitors. The framework is filled with nuts-and-bolts application-building features that our own developers have told us are the boring, mundane, plumbing-kinda code that they don't WANT to write, debug, and test themselves.
It gives you a big advantage and allows you do decide whether or not to use EJB at deployment time instead of forcing you to make that decision up front.

Why does my mac have 100 gb of "back up" and 90 gb of "other" memory used up when I have hardly anything on it. Is there any way to identify what those things are that is consuming so much memory?

I have 25 gb of music. 20 gb of movies. 5 gb of pictures. 10 gb of apps. 102 gb of "back up. and 85 gb of "other. which leaves less than 70 gb open on my harddrive.. Why? What is that almost 200 gb of memory? How Do i pinpoint it? I use time machine and an external harddrive to back up my files so what is that? any answers or ideas?

Do not worry about the backups. They will be deleted automatically after a week, or if your HD gets too full. See #30 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
The "other" stuff is just that -- all sorts of things that don't fall into the few categories listed. The operating system, system work files, plus lots of your stuff like documents, mail, etc. See Lion's Storage Display

Why to use inheritance when import is sufficient

The import directive tells the compiler where to look for the class definitions when it comes upon a class that it cannot find in the default java.lang package. After an import statement has been included in our program we can use the methods related to that class as required and we are not required to give the fully qualified names.
In inheritance we extend a base class into a derived class so that the features and methods of the base class are available in the derived class which facilitates reusability. As per my understanding the same thing is facilitated by import statements. If it is so, why are we using inheritance if it can be done with the use of import statements?

Import statements and inheritance are completely different things.
Import statements tell the compiler how to expand brief class names into fully-qualified class names. It has nothing to do with the functionality of the code.
Inheritance changes the identification and functionality of the classes, and thus the functionality of the code.
Maybe you're really thinking about composition/delegation vs. inheritance. Composition is when a class has another class as a part of it, and delegation is when the class sends some of its work to the other class. You can have an object-oriented system without inheritance of implementations, using composition instead.

Why still use old versions of Oracle??

Hi All,
I was just wondering what are some reasons why organizations continue to use older versions of Oracle like 7 and 8i when we are now at version 11g?
I would love to hear what everyone has to say.
Thanks,
JrOraDBA

>
Mogens Norgaard (Oracle Insights) says that most users only need version
7.3 and that advances since then are for the UPS's and eBays of this world.
Disagree. Totally.
Oracle OPS cannot be compared to Oracle RAC. 7.3's partition views cannot be compared to
proper partitioning. And then what about features such as FGAC, rman, ASM, Apex, materialised
views - just to mention a few?I readily accept that Oracle is a good deal more sophisticated now than it was in
version 7. I think that Norgaard - a man with no axe to grind with Oracle and who
is a highly respected Oracle database practitioner - is talking about an "average Joe Sixpack
run-of-the-mill OLTP system".
Why do you think he made this point -
"Most customers really only need Oracle version 7.3 with respect to features"? (p 92 of the book).
All of these we use. In production. For 24x7 corporate mission critical systems. It would be
laughable to suggest that these could run on Oracle 7 and provide as a robust, flexible,
performant and scalable solution as using 10g or 11g.I accept this also - it's just that Norgaard is saying that "most" customers don't need
Oracle after 7.3.
I would tend to agree - in particular, the (totally free) functionality available
from, say, PostgreSQL and/or Firebird gives you more than this.
Open Source databases? Even more laughable. There is no way that these can compare
to Oracle. Not when doing intensive processing. Not when needing scalability, availability
and redundancy.Look [url http://kevinclosson.wordpress.com/2007/07/18/application-server-benchmark-proves-postgresql-is-the-best-enterprise-database-server-new-specjappserver2004-cost-metric-introduced-too/]here and in particular at the post of Clemens Eisserer
Open source databases have come on in leaps and bounds in recent
years and represent a value for money solution in many cases where
an Oracle licence would be prohibitive.
I have a SE database on a small 2 CPU server that at this very moment is dealing
with up to 12,000 rows inserted every second into a single table.. after which that table
(an hour later containing around 40 million rows) is processed. You want me to believe
that an Open Source database can do the same? Then you will need to prove that cause
I don't think for a single moment that Open Source databases like mySQL, PostgreSQL
and Firebird are anywhere as capable and able as Oracle.Also, take a look at VoltDB - an Open Source high-performance database from
Michael Stonebraker - SQL and ACID in a novel new design.
There are "Lies, damned lies, statistics" and then* there are database benchmarks.
How big are your rows? I'm running Hammerora at the moment against an Oracle 10
XE instance and I'm getting Y no. of rows (I don't think that I'm allowed release any benchmarking
that I do "into the wild") inserted/second - how meaningful is that? What is the disk setup?
[url http://www.ib-aid.com/articles/item104]See here you have a very thorough
benchmark with inserts of 24K rows/sec into a Firebird database.
Table 3: Loading operations Description Value Time to load
~70 hours
Total records inserted
6.2 billions
Average insertion speed
24500 records/second
Average record size
146 bytes (min 13 bytes, max – 600 bytes)
Transactions
646489I don't want to get into a religious war here ;) - particularly since this forum is hosted by
Oracle - I was just trying to explain to the OP why certain customers aren't interested in
the latest "bells and whistles" version of Oracle - 1 reason is that powerful software
is available for free elsewhere - although in terms of features, Oracle does have
the honour of the "kitchen-sink" implementation with a rich feature-set.

HT2731 I had to set up a new email address for my ipad, but the old one is still coming up when i have to update my apps, how do i reset to the new email address?

I recently had to reset my apple id to a new email address, but when i try to update my apps, the old one is still showing up, how do i change it?

Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased and will always need to be updated using that account.

Now i cannot see my bookmarks toolbar icons in firefox 4, i could before but now the images have dissapeared, i can still use the bookmarks, but have to wait for the box to come up explaining wich link it is to know what im choosing

i had my bookmarks tab set up to show no names of bookmarks just the icons, the button is still there but i cant see any icon, the link works fine, the only issue here is the icon does not show so i cannot decipher between the links unless i hover over each button and wait for the message details

Did you edit the names to clear them or did you use other means like an extension or code in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] ?
Many extensions haven't been updated yet to work properly in Firefox 4.0
