Another AVCHD discussion - looking for some opinions here.

I have a client that does some of their work in-house and then sends some of the more heavy lifting stuff to me to edit on my FCP workstation. Recently, against my subtle suggestions, they purchased a Sony camcorder that records natively in AVCHD (as many prosumer cameras are doing nowadays) and spits out .mts files. They use Sony Vegas and seem to be happy with very basic native editing on that software with those .mts files. They are telling me that they can import that AVCHD stuff straight into Sony Vegas and do at least their basic editing tasks - I don't know anything about Sony Vegas but I would assume that BASIC editing (without compositing or filters) is working ok like they say.
However, when they hand me a bunch .mts files, I have to convert them to my preferred native editing format in FCP (.mov, Pro Res)
Am I correct in telling these guys that they should be converting that footage out of AVCHD even if it runs on their Vegas software simply with the reasoning that AVCHD is not an editing format but rather a recording or capture format and its painfully compressed? Basically, I am trying to reason with them that when it is time to import the footage on their end from the camera initially, don't just be happy with leaving it in the AVCHD (.mts) format - convert it to a friendlier 'editing' format - then send it my way so it also plays nice with FCP and I don't have to do any conversions when I get it.
Is my reasoning sound here or does my argument hold no water? Thanks for any insight.

Ha, X, thanks and I agree, unfortunately with this project I am not in a position where I have billable hours - in other words, I will get paid the same regardless of whether I do the conversion or they do the conversion. So that's why I'm trying to give them good reason to do it themselves because this is not one of my normal clients and the arrangement we have gives me huge incentive to do as little work for them as I can, as fast as I can, but still turn out a respectable product.
It sounds like I will use some kind of conversion software to get to ProRes then. Correct me if I'm wrong but when you guys mention that Vegas might work with other format/codecs that FCP doesn't like, I was of the understanding that across the board with editing software, you were going to at some point be limited in editing performance if you were trying to edit a format that was highly compressed - like if you began adding effects or layering multiple tracks of video or something - like if you try to edit h.264 natively in FCP eventually things really start to bog down.
Thanks everyone for the comments - I welcome any further perspective here.

I'm looking for some inspiration here on how best to set up my TC

Copied from a post else where, any help greatly appreciated!!
I'm looking for some inspiration here on how best to set up my TC for my needs & wondering how others do for similar needs....
I have a 2TB TC that I have set up so that all of mine & my girlfriends photo's, music, movies & documents are on the one location so that we can access it wirelessly from both our MacBooks & also from a MacMini which I'm going to buy in a month or 2. Changing the location for where iTunes & iPhoto look wasn't a problem but browsing through iPhoto in particular is really slow due to the number of previews I presume, and also we are now unable to have any of the media with us when traveling about, synching phones on the move is a disaster as well!
Anyway,
is there an easy way of setting up iTunes / iPhoto so that we can have all the data on the TC managed on the MacMini but import small iTunes Playlists & iPhoto Albums to our MacBooks without having to change in preferences where the applications look for data each time we get home?
Any help anybody can offer would be grand!
Thanks in advance.........

You topic might be better suited for the iPhoto or iTunes forums, since your question seems to be with the application(s) functionality, not really the Time Capsules. However, if you start iPhoto or iTunes while holding down on the "option/alt" key, you can manually select a library to access. When you want one of your computers to access the library on the Time Capsule, make sure it's mounted as a shared volume on your Desktop and then open iTunes and point it towards the library on the Time Capsule. If you want to use a smaller library on your computer, open iTunes and point it to the library on your Mac. I've never switched back and forth multiple times between multiple libraries, so you might check in the iPhoto or iTunes forums to see if any issues may arise from doing this repeatedly.

Im looking for some opinions for games

i use this mac mostly for work but i like an occasional game, i have lord of the rings and harry potter but its sometimes a little dificult to move around using the track pad all the time. so, im looking for a joy stick recommendation or other ideas to make games a little more fun???? and not so much work....any gamers???

KOTOR is not working well on Mac (very slow motion in some levels), and not
at all on Intel-based Macs (so slow it becomes unplayable).
My favourites (working on Intel-based Macs) are:
- Civilization IV
- Warcraft III
- Age of Mythology
- Lord of the Rings
- Worms 3D
- Toysight Gold (using an iSight camera)
- the Pangea games (in particular Nanosaur, Cro-Mag Rally)
You might want to have a look at FPS games such as:
Doom3, Halo, Call of Duty2, Unreal Tournament 2004.
Enjoy !

Student looking for some opinions

to all people who do programming as a profession:
in general, is programming a good career to get into? as far as salary vs work required? is this kinda job hectic? what do you think?

With a lot of coding going offshore, I think that now would be a bad time to enter the field. I have been doing it long enough that I'm hoping it won't affect me (unless I have to find a new job). I'm also hoping that the drawbacks of offshore coding will make themselves apparent to the pointy haired ones in a year or two. Just my guess though, anything could happen.

Looking for some advice regarding an image related program

Hi fellas, Im looking for some guidance here. I want to write a program that will read an image (image will be an xray image of a square), convert the image to black and white, and measure the length and width of the square. Im looking for the best progamming langauge to make this happen. Anyone have any recommendations? I know c++ has a good imaging library that would be helpful so im looking into that at the moment. And Im pretty sure I can do this with matlab, but Im writing this program for a doctor so I need it to be portable. Thanks in advance for all the help
Cliffnotes:
Whats the best programming language to:
-read an image (of a square)
-convert image to black and white
-measure length/width of square
-GUI would be good but not necessary
-easy to write

HashBox wrote:You might want to look in to DPI and what The GIMP does in terms of that, also I found this which might be of use as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixels_per_inch
Thanks HashBox, I think Im off to a good start on this. First, I wrote the program (majority of it) using matlab, and now Im trying to convert it to C++. So far I have:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "CImg.h"
using namespace cimg_library;
//main program
int main()
CImg<double> img("xray.jpg");
//converts the image to black and white
img.RGBtoYCbCr().channel(0).resize(-100,-100,1,3).RGBtoLUT(CImg<>(2,1,1,3).fill(0.0f,255.0f),false);
//displays image
CImgDisplay display(img,"Black and White");
while (!display.is_closed)
display.wait();
return 0;
So right now, I have the black and white xray image. How do I find out the size of the image using c++? Is there a function for that or do I have to write code to find it manually?
Heres the original matlab code I wrote that Im trying to write my c++ code after:
%read the image
[filename,pathname] = uigetfile('*.*', 'Select an image');
%assign image to film
film=imread(filename);
%threshold the image
level = graythresh(film);
%convert image to black&white using the thresholded value
BW = im2bw(film, level);
%display image
imshow(BW);
SIZE=size(BW);
counter=zeros(1, SIZE(1));
for x=1:SIZE(1)
for y=1:SIZE(2)
if (BW(x,y)==1)
counter(1,x)=counter(1,x)+1;
end
end
end
SUM=0;
lines=0;
for counterarray=1:SIZE(1)
if counter(1,counterarray)>0
lines=lines+1;
SUM=counter(1,counterarray)+SUM;
end
end

Hi I'm looking for some keyboard shortcut that are Mac but I want PC. Here they are:
ATL + shift + l
ATL + q
ATL + a
ATL + shift + e
ATL + z
ATL + x
ALT + SHIFT + g
ALT + SHIFT + f
they are for mac I them would like for pc... Thank you

Ah, thanks. Goes to show how carefully I look at keyboards these days...
So Opt(alt) on the Mac should map to Alt on PC.
It would actually be helpful if the OP told us waht the shortcuts were meant to do...
And there's always the help files. A complete list of default shortcusts is at http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html

Looking for some assurances that I haven't made a mistake switching to Mac.

Bought an intel-powered IMac 9 days ago and love everything about it's look, functionality, etc.. Only problem: I've had a bout of "Application has closed unexpectedly" occcurrances while using Safari (while at AOL.com deleting emails from aol account) and while editing pics in iPhoto. As this happened time and again, I got a sad, sinking feeling that I'm headed for the same frustrations that I've had w/ every Windows machine I've ever owned. Ugh!..I switched to Apple for the specific purpose of avoiding crashes!!! Apple support walked me through steps to fix (removed/updated Quicktime, and check a few other things..). They were very helpful, but... I absolutely detest having to do this. Other than Office:Mac, i've added nothing to this machine! I'm really stressed about this. I paid far more for this than I would have for a Windows machine simply because I had heard that Apple machines don't do this sort of thing!!
Please tell me that this is normal and expected with a new machine and not a harbinger of more complicated problems to come!! I'm hoping that once resolved, I won't much more of this.. On the other hand, if many of you feel that this issue is a bad omen, I'll take the machine back while I still can. ..What a pity though, it's truly been a joy to use so far.

Hi syd123! And Welcome to Discussions!
No you haven't made a mistake! You will love your Mac!
Deleting AOL Mail, crashes Safari (Consolidation)
It seems the most recent Safari, and or 10.4.4, update has created this problem.
Apple & AOL are both aware of this, but, as far as I know, no correction has been implemented.
Here are some of the work arounds, that I have been able to discern from the various posts regarding this issue.
Use the FIREFOX BROWSER.
Use your AOL Mail program.
Use this utility AOL SERVICES ASSISTANT, to set up Apple Mail, to access AOL Mail.
Access the AOL Mail thru Classic AOL Webmail.
And here are links, to the various threads, discussing this issue.

I'm looking for some help connecting linksys IP Cameras to my home network to monitor my property when I'm travelling. I used to do this with linksys WAPS, but since I've discarded all my old linksys networking and standardized on airport, I can't get these things working. I know that I have to identify my camera through the DHCP table and set up port forwarding and there is the problem.
My network consists of 4 base stations set up in a roaming network - same network name and passwords. I need to do it this way so I don't have to switch network when I move from one side of the house to the other, go to the cabana, or my shop in the barn. The network works pretty well since I went to a roaming set up. Good performance, yata, yata, yata.
However, the roaming network requires the AEBS's to be set up in bridge mode, rather than sharing an ip address. When the AEBS is set to bridge mode, you don't see a DCHP table or have the ability to identify your IP Cam through the AEBS - and hence, no port forwarding.
I am able to identify and set up my Linksys IP Cam by locating the ip address on my FIOS router, even though, it's plugged into an AEBS. I set it up, see the video, remove the ethernet cable from the IP Cam, restart - and I can't get to it from an AEBS. In researching this, it appears, I should be setting up the AEBS to "share an IP Address", going to the DHCP table and identifying the camera's IP address and setting up port forwarding. However, you don't see any of the DHCP or port forwarding options in Airport Network Utility when configuring in bridge mode.
I'm hoping I'm missing something here and that the solution isn't to set it up at the FIOS router level, but I'm beginning to think that's my only hope. What concerns me there is that I should be able to see the IP cam on the network without port forwarding since I'm not coming from outside, and I can't even do this unless it's connected hard wire.
I'd appreciate any insight into this that anyone might have. I've hit the wall with what I know.
Thanks.

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

Looking for some advice.

Hi. Hope this is right forum. First post. A brief background. Years ago (2007-2008) I created a web portfolio for school. First it was in HTML (Dreamweaver) and then Flash. I hadn't really touched it in years and decided this past couple of months, after playing in the medium again, to get back into wed design, 3d, and digital content creation. That said, I went in and updated both the HTML and Flash versions with the knowledge I currently have, limited though it is. I now would like to go forward and build a completely new site and teach myself HTML, JavaScript, and WebGL along the way (possibly before hand). Hopefully I'll get working on the new site before the end of the year. In the mean time, I'm using my old site as a stop-gap measure. I've also taken books out from the library to begin journey into the above mentioned languages.
This all said, I'm looking for some advice on what direction I should go next...look into... Does my current objective seem reasonable? Also, could anyone give feedback on what I did wrong and what I've done right on my old site. I think, as far as what went wrong, the Flash page is just too large. No one wants to wait so long for it to load. I think I got carried away with it. Also, too many sound effects. That said, I think the HTML site was constructed in an "old-fashion" way. No one makes sites like that anymore. I basically set it up in Photoshop, sliced it, and assembled it in Dreamweaver. The end result is a bunch of tables in HTML? A friend suggested I look into a CMS (?) like WordPress?
Here's my current site: http://www.personal.kent.edu/~mstingle/
Constructive feedback on what I did right and wrong would be great. And, where I should be looking next for rebuild of my portfolio.
Cheers.

WebGL is still experimental. Most browsers don't fully support it yet.
http://caniuse.com/webgl
The current trend is Responsive Web Design -- layouts that work in all devices (mobile, tablet and desktop). This technology relies on CSS layouts (no tables) with media queries for different viewport widths. Below is a crude example built with the FluidGrid Layouts feature in DW CS6 or CC:
http://alt-web.com/FluidGrid/Fluid2.html -- resize your browser's viewport to see it in action.
Flash is dead on the web now because the world's most popular mobile & tablet devices don't support it. Animations are mostly being built with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. See Adobe Edge Animate.
If you're not a skilled coder and just want a basic static web site, Adobe Muse might be all you need. http://www.adobe.com/products/muse.html That said, Muse cannot support server-side programming so you can't use it for advanced features like CMSs, blogs, etc...
If you're a Creative Cloud member, you can use Behance & ProSite to build & share your portfolio online.
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/behance-community.html
http://prosite.com/
In terms of your own site, ask yourself how much content & which features it will need to support in the coming months/years. If it's going to be a relatively small site (under 20 pages), a static HTML site is probably all you need. IMO, WordPress -- a dynamic CMS built with PHP & MySql databases -- would be overkill. However, if you plan to make your site into a blog for example, then a dynamic CMS is an option to consider. WordPress isn't the only kid on the block either. There's also Drupal, Joomla!, and many more...

Looking for some advice on CEP HA and Coherence cache

We are looking for some advice or recommendation on CEP architecture.
We need to build a CEP application that conforms to the following:
• HA with no loss of events or duplicate events when failing over to the backup server.
• We have some aggregative rules that needs to see all events.
• Events are XMLs with size of 3KB-50KB. Not all elements are needed for the rules but they are there for other systems that come after the CEP (the customer services).
• The XML elements that the CEP needs are in varying depth in the XML.
Running the EPN on a single thread is not fast enough for the required throughput mainly because network latency to the JMS and the heavy task of parsing of the XML. Because of that we are looking for a solution that will read the messages from the JMS in parallel (multi thread) but will keep the same order of events between the Primary and Secondary CEPs.
One idea that came to our minds is to use Coherence cache in the following way:
• On the CEP inbound use a distributed queue and not topic (at the CEP outbound it is still topic).
• On the CEPs side use a Coherence cache that runs on the CEPs JVMs (since we already have a Coherence cluster for HA).
• Both CEPs read from the queue using multi threading (10 reading threads – total of 20 threads) and putting it to the Coherence cache.
• The Coherence cache is publishing the events to both CEPs on a single thread.
The EPN looks something like this:
JMS adapter (multi threaded) -> replicated cache on both CEPs -> event bean -> HA adapter -> channel -> processor -> ….
Does this sounds sound to you?
Are we over shooting here? Is there a simpler solution for our needs?
Is there a best practice for such requirements?
Thanks

Hi,
Just to make it clear:
We do not parse the XML on the event bean after the Coherence. We do it on the JMS adapter on multiple threads in order to utilize all the server resources (CPUs) and then we put it in the replicated cache.
The requirements from our application are:
- There is an aggregative query that needs to "see" all events (this means that we need to pass all events thru a single processor and we cannot partition them to several processors).
- Because this is a HA solution the events on both CEPs (primary and secondary) needs to be at the same order when reaching the HA inbound adapter and the processor.
- A single thread JMS adapter is not reading the messages from the JMS fast enough mainly because it takes time to parse the XML to an event.
- Using a multi-threaded adapter or many single threaded adapters with message selector will create a situation that the order of events on both CEPs will not be the same at the processor inbound.
This is why we needed a mediator so we can read in multiple threads that will parse the XMLs in parallel without concerning on order of messages and on the other hand publish all the messages on a single thread to the processors on both CEPs from this shared mediator (we use a replicated cache that runs on both JVMs).
We use queue instead of topic because if we read the messages from a topic on both CEPs it will be stored twice on the Coherence replicated cache. But if we use a queue, when server 1 read the message and put it in the Coherence replicated cache then server 2 will not read it because it was removed from the queue.
If I understand correctly you are suggesting replacing the JMS adapter with an event bean that will read the messages from the JMS directly?
Are you also suggesting that we will not use a replicated cache but instead a stand alone cache on each server? In this case how do we keep the same order of events on both CEPs (on both caches)?

Looking for some RAW + JPEG Workflow suggestions

I'm looking for some suggestions on how best to organize my workflow now that I've started shooting with RAW +JPEG. I previously shot only in RAW, but the time spent in post-production was killing me. I've realized that for 95% of my shots that already have the correct exposure, white balance, etc, a JPEG photo is really all I need and saves me a ton of time. I've become convinced that editing every single photo from a shoot in RAW is overkill. I want to have the RAW versions, however, to rescue that occasional great shot where I unfortunately miffed the settings.
Through reading other posts here and experimenting, I've found that Aperture basically defulats to showing me only the imported RAW photos and that I need to click "New Version from Master JPEG" to see the JPEG version. This seems counterintuitive to the workflow I'd like to establish though. (i.e. I'm thinking it would be nice to see only the JPEG versions, and then only bring up the RAW version when the photo needs some serious correction).
I suppose I could highlight the entire batch of imported photos and select "New Version from Master JPEG" and then sort through each RAW/JPEG stack, but I'm still hoping there's a less cumbersome way. Anyone out there have any good workflow suggestions for this issue? I'm curious how other people out there deal with this issue in their workflow.
Thanks in advance!

Try this - I do this as a matter of course:
-select all of the photos after importing them into a project
-create a new album from selection/call it JPG
-with all of the images still selected create new version from master JPEG. all of these should now be the album pick
-close all stacks, the JPEG will be the one showing up on top for that album.
