A..NEED AN ADVICE ABOUT THESE 2 VIDEO-CAMERA..!!

..
..HEY GUYS..!!
What do you think about these 2 video c.. the first one is the PANASONIC SD1 and the second one is JVC Everio GZ-HD7 60GB Hard Drive Camcorder ..
I'm going to buy one soon and it's pretty hard to choose .. which one do you think would be the best..??
se-ya ..andrea..^_^

andrea,
I have the SD1 and I love the image quality, form factor and function with iMovie 08. Exports nicely to .mac web gallery. However, I haven't figured out a few things, see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1130359&tstart=0

I need some advice about the macbook pro and iPhone 5.
I took a video on my iPhone and tried to email it it said it was too big to send? So i downloaded it to my macbook pro and tried to mail it to no avail? The macbook tells me the server won't let it through other mail goes through any ideas how to resize it or what it might take to send it?

I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes.

Need your advice on making family videos without losing quality

I need your advice. I don't know where to put my question because I don't know which piece of software I need (so I am posting this in a few places on the forum: sorry). That is exactly the question, I guess.
I have a couple of digital cameras that I use to make family videos. They both produce .avi files. Sometimes I use an iPhone that produces .mov files. So after my children and grandchildren visit, I end up with a bunch of these little videos. I want to combine them into longer videos that I can watch more conveniently on my Apple TV 2 or put on a DVD to send my kids or to my elderly mother-in-law to watch. I know how to combine them using iMovie HD, but that process seems to radically degrade the resolution and/or image quality. The original .avi files are 1024x768 and are very clear and sharp. I can't watch these .avi files on my ATV2 so I've been using Quicktime Player 10.0 to open them and then save them as .mov files. Once I import these files into iTunes, I can watch them on my ATV2 and they too look great on my tv (since they have the same resolution as the original .avi files): sharp and clear. But after I use iMovie HD to combine them (the .avi files) into an .m4v file, they're down to 640x480, and don't look near as good. And the DVD made from this file using iDVD looks equally bad and blocky.
I think what I want to know is, can I change some parameters on iMovie HD to produce files that are as high quality as the original .avi and .mov files? Or if not, what software do I need to accomplish this? I'm not interested in "fancy" movies. These are just home movies, but they are important to us. Should I upgrade my iMovie to do this? Or get Quicktime Pro? Or what? I'd appreciate your advice. I'd like to keep the process as simple as possible.

This is my workflow. I'm sure you will get a variety of opinions, but all I can say for my AVI clips, I've had excellent results for viewing on AppleTV.
I use iMovie HD 6 for organizing the clips into short movies, 15 minutes +/-. Clips are imported into iMovie as DV files. Once the movies are completed, I Export from iMovie as Full Quality, which results in a my-movie.dv file.
I then open the dv file in MPEG Streamclip. There I use the MP4 and iTunes settings for screen ratio and bit rate. 4:3 for Standard Def and 16:9 for High Def. Sounds complicated, but once you open MPEG Streamclip, the settings are simple to figure out.
The main thing to remember about quality is not to upscale your video. If the resolution is 640x480 SD, do not export higher than 640x480.
Here are a couple of screenshots using MPEG Streamclips "Export to MP4" setting:

Do I need to worry about these event handlers in a grid from a memory leak perspective?

I'm pretty new to Flex and coudn't figure out how to add event handlers to inline item renderer components from the containing file script so I attached the listnerers simply as part of the components themselves (eg <mx:Checkbox ... chnage="outerDocument.doSomething(event)"../>):
<mx:DataGrid id="targetsGrid" width="100%" height="100%" doubleClickEnabled="true" styleName="itemCell"
      headerStyleName="headerRow" dataProvider="{targets}"
      rowHeight="19" fontSize="11" paddingBottom="0" paddingTop="1">
     <mx:columns>
     <mx:DataGridColumn width="78" dataField="@isSelected" headerText="">
     <mx:itemRenderer>
          <mx:Component>
               <mx:HBox width="100%" height="100%" horizontalAlign="center">
                    <mx:CheckBox id="targetCheckBox" selected="{data.@isSelected == 'true'}"
                         change="outerDocument.checkChangeHandler(event);"/>
                    <mx:Image horizontalAlign="center" toolTip="Delete" source="@Embed('/assets/icons/delete.png')" useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true"
                         click="outerDocument.deleteHandler(event);"/>
                    <mx:Image id="editButton" horizontalAlign="center" toolTip="Edit" source="@Embed('/assets/icons/edit-icon.png')" useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true"
                         click="outerDocument.editHandler(event);"/>
               </mx:HBox>
          </mx:Component>
     </mx:itemRenderer>
     </mx:DataGridColumn>
          <mx:DataGridColumn id="Name" dataField="@collectionDesc" headerText="Name" itemRenderer="com.foobar.integrated.media.ui.component.CellStyleForTargetName"/>
          <mx:DataGridColumn id="Created" width="140" dataField="@createDateTime" headerText="Created" labelFunction="UiHelper.gridDateFormat" />
     </mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
This grid is part of a view that will get destroyed and recreated potentially many times during a user's session within the application (there's a large dynamic nature to the app and views are created at run-time.) By destroyed I mean that the view that holds the above datagrid will no longer be referenced under certain circumstances and an entire new view object is created (meaning the old datagrid is no longer refernced and a new one is created.)
I heard you should clean up event handlers when they are no longer used, and I know at what point the view is destroyed, but I don't know how to clean up the event handlers added to the item renderer components? Is it something that the Flex garbage collector will handle efficiently?
Also, on a somewhat related note, how could I push the item renderer to an external component since in my event handlers for the item renderer buttons I need a reference to the datagrid.selectedIndex which, as an external item renderer I wouldn't have access to this containing grid?

No. You don't need explicit cleanup in this case: if your outerDocument is going away, you have nothing to worry about. The event handler leak can happen in sort of the reverse situation: suppose you have a long-lived MyView that contains a custom DataGrid like the one below. Now suppose that MyView frequently destroys and re-creates the grid. And suppose that on its creationComplete event, the grid registers a listener for outerDocument's (MyView's) enterFrame Event. Unless you explicitly remove this listener, MyView will still have a reference to it even after the grid that registered the listener is destroyed (and garbage collected).
This is a pretty contrived example, but it sort of illustrates the potential for leaks: a certain component is elligible for garbage collection, but some longer-lived component holds a reference to it (or part of it, such as a listener function). If the longer-lived component is elligible for GC as well, you don't really need to worry about proper cleanup. That's what you're paying the GC processor cycles for.

Need some advice about hot backup under linux

hi, I want some advice about db files hot backup between two machines(Named A and B).A is primary machine which will write and read database and have the lastest db file. B is backup role and no database file in it.
Now I want hot backup A's db file to B in order to B have the lastest db file too.
At A,my db file support transaction and environment, and I set autoremove unnecessary log files.
The code such as follows:
dbenv->set_flags(dbenv, DB_AUTO_COMMIT |DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE | DB_TXN_WRITE_NOSYNC, 1);
ret = dbenv->open(dbenv, NULL,
DB_CREATE | DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_LOG | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_INIT_TXN ,0)
I don't want to use db_hotbackup utility. and db_hotbackup may be backup files to the same machine with different dir.
How can I make machine A's db files backup to machine B.
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards
hangsy

Hi Hangsy
Now I want hot backup A's db file to B in order to B
have the lastest db file too.What do you mean? Do you want to have the latest version... from when you did the latest backup, or you want to keep it updated in the same time with the main database?
I don't want to use db_hotbackup utility. and
db_hotbackup may be backup files to the same machine
with different dir.You can copy the backup anywere you want.
If you want to run recovery on a different machine, it must be the same pointer size and endianness as the original machine.
Database and log file archival: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/archival.html
It is usually simpler to take the hot backup on the main machine and run recovery there before copying the databases to the remote system.
In this setup, only the databases are required on the remote system, not the log files.
Since you are using NOSYNC, you should run a checkpoint which will ensure you that the database files are up to date.
Please read "Recovery procedures" ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/recovery.html ) first. "you cannot perform a hot backup of databases and log files, restore the backup and then run normal recovery -- you must always run catastrophic recovery when using hot backups."

I need help on finding the right video camera

I am a high school student and I make short films. I use final cut express. I'm getting ready to do a short film for a film festival. I really want a new video camera but i don't know what to get. The price range is under 2000. If anyone knows what would be the best i would really appreciate the input.
Thanks

At the moment i have been using a Sony GC1 for small stuff but other videos i use a panasonic, im not sure of the name i don't have it with me.
The quality is really bad on the sony mainly because its just a net sharing cam and the panasonic is not mine so i dont have full access.
I really want something with good quality, 24p, can work with my macbook, just an overall good camera that will endure a lot of use.

Need some advice about possibly getting a MacBook Pro

I have been offered retail price for my 3 month old PB 17" (see description below). If I decided to do it, I would turn around and buy the new MacBook Pro. I love my PB and really hadn't thought about getting the MacBook Pro because I just got this laptop. I do have some accessories that I wouldn't be able to use on the new latop (FW800 2.5" hard drive and EVDO broadband internet pccard to name a couple). A couple of reasons that I can think of that I wouldn't like to switch are reduced screen size (although due to the better brightness, I could probably deal with it), reduced DVD Drive (although I have yet to burn using Dual Layer), etc. I have been reading about how some people like this or that about the MacBook Pro, but I was curious to get everyone's opinion on a switch from a very new laptop. I am leaning against doing the deal, but would love the input. I don't use it for major video editing, although I do a little, but only for home/family movies. Mainly, it is used for my everyday portable workstation. I do make a living using my computer (I repair computers, mac and pc) so something speedy is a must, but it seems to me that I have suffcient speed already. Well, enough of my rambling, any input would be great.
Thanks in advance,
GeNomeZ

Well, I have a 15" PowerBook G4 as well, the recent high res one that came out in October. I'm taking the plunge but as you can see below I haven't received mine yet so I can't give you too much of my opinion. I did it more for the processor, iSight, the ir for Front Row, the video card, the faster ram, the faster fsb, uhhhh, I could go on. I'll probably notice the 60 pixel loss but I'll deal, I can deal w/o dual layer, ***** about the speed drop, I never used fw800 or the pc card slot. And dial up doesn't exist to me

I need some advice about using Leopard on a Power Mac G5

I purchased a Power Mac G5 (Dual 2.3) in 2006. I have 2 internal hard drives and am currently running Tiger and Leopard. Some of my current apps that are outdated don't run on Leopard (such as Office 2004). I am thinking about switching over completely to Leopard, so I would have to upgrade my remaining apps that need to be updated.
Is it worth it? Does Leopard (and modern applications) run smoothly on a G5 or are those really intended for Intel Macs? Would it be better for me as a PowerPC user to just stick with Tiger? Are the versions of iTunes and QuickTime available in Leopard the same available in Tiger?
I really don't need Classic anymore, so that's not holding my back. But I don't want to spend the money to upgrade my applications if they aren't going to work that well on a G5 anyway.

Actually, Office 2004 runs just fine on Leopard. That's what I'm running now, and I have no intention on going to Office 2008.
I feel that Leopard runs smoothly on the G5. I've not really seen any issues with it as of yet.
iTunes and QuickTime are the same version number under Leopard as they are under Tiger. However, there is a different download of QuickTime depending on if you're on Tiger or Leopard.
What other applications are you using that you think you may need to upgrade?

Need an advices about keyboard input Switch

Recently i have been installed OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
after i installed that i realize that my (") and (@) has been switched
i don't know where to start from to fix it
because i'm newbie in Mac
Please give me an advice
MacBook Pro Mid-2012 MD101 OSX Yosemite 10.10.1

Look in Keyboard System Preferences, Input Sources. See if you have the correct keyboard layout chosen. If not, you can add the correct one by clicking the + button. You can then remove the incorrect one by selecting it and clicking the – button.

Need some advice about cross browser display

Hi, I'm still trying to master css design and having a few
problems getting my pages to look the same on Opera and FF. I'm not
sure where I'm going wrong.
The site looks pretty much how it's meant to in IE (though
still in draft stage), but all sorts of gaps and spaces appear in
the other browsers that ruin the look.
Also in the 'restauraunts' 'shopping' and 'things to do'
pages the content drops way down on the page and I don't know why
that is either.
http://www.sorrentoquay.com.au/new_index.html
ps: I know I have a 916px image (the dropshadow) which is
causing the content to drop way down the page in FF and Opera, but
this is supposed to be in column with the content column lining up
along side it. It's doing what it's meant to do in IE.
I appreciate the responses so far, thankyou.

You must have fixed the original problem, because I don't see
any dropping
content in FF as I did when you posted originally.
However, your 'shadow' is not going all the way down the page
as it does in
IE7. Have you thought about moving that image out of the html
as using it
as a background image in that dive and repeating it on the
'y' axis)... may
also solve some of the gap problems you may be seeing, though
I can't see
them this time roung.

Need some advice about Threads/ThreadPools

Hello,
I am writing an application that tests websites for certain tags, keyword density and so on.
To simplify I created a framework that will run plugins on given webpages. I also built in support for a so called XML Sitemap (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html). To speed this up I created a worker and a runner class. They both implement the Runnable interface (I suspect that I should extend Thread with the worker and that the Runner is good as is). However the program uses a significant amount of memory. I suspect that Threads aren't recycled properly so I plan on rewriting it a bit to use a FixedThreadPool.
I call my Threads as:
//In "main" class
new Thread(worker).start();
//In Worker class
for(URL url : urlList) {
//do stuff
if(currentNumThreads >= maxThreads){
//Thread.yield in while loop -- Dirty ?
new Thread(runner).start();
}Do these Threads get recycled immediatly after finishing ?
Also would using a ThreadPool improve performance/memory usage ?
Thanks in advance :)

First of all, do not Extend Thread!
Second yes using a ThreadPool will help your problem because you are spawning a 'infiinite' number of threads otherwise. I would suggest using an Executor class if you are in SE 5.0 or above. They do the job quite well for what you want to get done.

Need some advice about PersistenceManger.

Is there any disadcantage of using ONE persistenceManager for whole
application?
I have this program which is managing Student data, which consist of
Student, Info, Adress object.
When each object is loaded with different PersistenceManager,
I have trouble do the following:
student.setInfo(info);
// or
info.setAddress(address);
I got an exception saying that they are managed by different
PersistenceManger.
I can't think of any way but have them use SAME persistenceManager.
Which means ONE persistenceManager for whole program.
But I am worry about if it will cause any problem.
What would you do?
Thanks.

Multiple transactions are a headache with a single persistence manager. I've
tried a single PM for an entire program and found it to be extremely
difficult to work around. Plus, I hated the idea of having a singleton
object (i.e. PM) that everyone had to share.
You can solve the problem of sharing objects across PM's a number of ways.
My two favorite ways are to:
Pass object ID's from thread to thread. i.e. if there are any Queue's or
Messages sent between threads, use:
Object id = pm.getObjectID(myObj);
queue.enqueue(id);
Object newID = queue.dequeue();
MyObj newObj = (MyObj )pm.getObjectById(newID);
Another option is to pass the actual objects around and then at the
beginning of the method, get local instance of the object. Generally, this
can be done:
infoPM = JDOHelper.getPersistenceManager(info);
infoID = infoPM.getObjectID(info);
myInfo = pm.getObjectById(infoID);
student.setInfo(myInfo);

Need some advice about upgrading my RAM.

I own a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5.
I use Final Cut Pro 5 and want to make some upgrades to my Memory.
I've already got 2 GB DDDR2 SDRAM, and I'd like to add 2 GB more.
I found this webpage, but being naive at this stuff, I thought I'd run this by the experts here...
http://www.memorystore.com/product.asp?modelid=18738&famid=132&oemdesc=2GB+Kit&q ty=2
I was thinking of getting the Samsung brand, as I heard it was exactly what Apple uses.
I was also confused because I got my G5 in summer of 2006, and I can't be sure which model number I have. All I can guess is I have the "Late 2005" model.
Thanks anyone for the help.
Sincerely,
yoshi

Hi-
I'm gonna save you a bunch of money (and possible headache), and direct you to guaranteed Mac compatible RAM.
The page lists RAM for the dual core Late 2005 G5..
Check your system profiler, under Memory, and confirm that you have DDR2 PC4200 memory installed.
You can confirm your memory needs on this page, and confirm your G5 model using the serial number tag, described in this document.

Need some advice about Mail Preferences and Rules

Several months ago, I created a rule in Mail 2.1.3 for my mailboxes that would filter out some of the SPAM that I get on my laptop. I indicated that I only wanted to receive messages from people in my address book.
As it turns out that was not a great decision, and now I'm missing mail from people that comes right through on our "family" PC running Outlook. I tried to change that rule, but I didn't remember how I had done it. I searched help and found the instruction: Click Mail, Click Preferences, Click Rules.
However, when I get into Preferences, I don't see Rules anywhere. I only have ACCOUNTS, MAILBOX BEHAVIORS, and ADVANCED. I don't see rules on any of those tabs. Clearly, I had the power before. Can someone please (pretty please) tell me what I'm missing now?
I would greatly appreciate any advice that you can give.
Thanks!

You must have inadvertently clicked on the small gray oval in the upper right-hand corner of the Preferences window sometime in the recent past. Doing so toggles between showing/hiding icons for General, Accounts, ..., Signatures, and Rules.

Need your advice about image creation

Hi,
I am trying to create image of my c partition on Satellite A100-529 - no luck. Norton ghost freezes (booted from DOS) just after start, g4l cannot load (kernel panic), partimage, being a part of SystemRescue CD package does not see the hd drive! Has anyone tried using any image creation/restore software other than Toshiba Recovery CD? Any luck with it? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help on that matter.

Hello Czeslaw
I have very good experiences with NORTON GHOST 2003 (Version 2003.775). This application runs under Windows and I have tested it with several Toshiba notebooks. It works perfect.
I use my unit just for work and I create image every two or three weeks. I create it always on partition D and if something goes wrong I can start Ghost application and restore the unit from partition D. If you want you can also create DVDs.
Bye
