Anyone using an nNovia HD with their cam & FCP?

I'm interested in the nNovia drives but wanted to check if anyone has experience using them successfully with FCP. I searched the FCP & FCE forums and there were a few references to Firestore drives but none on nNovia.
I film live events and often have issues with tape length, so I'd like to go tapeless. I'm aware of the 2GB file size limits on the nNovia & Firestore units & can put up with that if they otherwise perform well w/Final Cut.

Well, with miniDV the maximum is 60 mins per tape @ SP. When I've got a Shakespeare production with intermission at t=90+ mins I have a problem with tape length. I've been double-teaming 2 cameras to deal with the intervals where I have to swap tapes & it's a pain in the butt not to mention the occasional problems with having to feed audio to 2 cameras from my mixer. Tapeless would be a great solution.
The Firestore automatically breaks the DV feed every 2GB and begins a new file automatically, sequentially numbered w/o losing any frames. The nNovia must do the same but before I lay out my hard earned $ I wanted to check to see if anyone has experience with them.

Anyone using Brother HL-2170W with their Mac?

Anyone using Brother HL-2170W with their Mac? I read some reviews at newegg and they are not bad , but at the apple store the reviews are not that good at all. Is this because it is not working well with Leopard as most printers don't or what?

Verizon informs me that Windows is only needed to download and install some form of authentication and that the free wi-fi hotspot service can be used from then on from the Macintosh side. Even though it's a Windows program, I'm assured that the authorized status will be detected when the Mac laptop is used under OS X

Has anyone used Rhapsody To Go with their Zen Vision

I'm getting a Zen Vision M later this month to replace my Zen Xtra. I have the Rhapsody To Go service. I was wondering if anyone else uses Rhapsody. I want to know how easy/difficult it is to tag songs with album art after the music has been transfered to the player via Rhapsody.

bumping thread......
If anyone has used Rhapsody with their Vision M, I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Anyone used a VAJA case with their iphone yet?

Specifically, I'm wondering which clip system (ultra vs rivet) folks have used, and how/why they like it.
And especially if anyone has yet tried the newer ivolution Top SP Holster... How practical is it? Why do you or don't you like it?
Thanks!!!

I have the Vaja Top Holster case and love it. And although this particular case I got sans clip, I have had ample experience with both... The ultra clip is heavy-duty (for larger and heavier devices), and moves about on only one axis (spins) - it's very substantial... The rivet clip system is based on a lighter duty "pin" mount, and moves much more freely about it. Also, the rivet clip system has more than one way to be affixed. Although it comes with the standard "Basic Kit" primarily intended for belts, and the like... You can also order the "Additional Kit" that contains a hook, a fabric mount and an adhesive mount... And also "Additional Kit 2" that has a "Kingpin Chain" mount (this one, I've never seen in person, only a picture).
My opinion on Vaja clips is that I generally prefer the ultra. I only use the rivet for much lighter and smaller devices, like the iPod nano. And although the rivet system is much, much more versatile, it flops about a bit too much for my taste. This is the reason I only chose it for nano... Truth be told though, if I had used a clip for iPhone, I would have chosen rivet, since it more closely matches the weight and size of the device.
Detailed info is posted on the Vaja website under "Info > Our Cases".
On the iPhone cases, I can relate two scenarios... I have the Top Holster that provides direct screen protection. In this case, you need to accept the 'dangling' cover when the phone is in-use, but which snaps into place when not being used to protect the glass front. My nieces didn't want the dangling cover, so they use the straight Holster, but keep them in Vaja leather bags when not in use... Whichever you prefer is a personal choice. Both are absolutely beautiful...
To tell the entire story, though, I also use a Vaja leather bag for my Top Holster equipped iPhone. This is to protect the beautiful leather from getting scratched...
Hope this helps.

HT4623 My camera just recently went blurry. It was working just fine yesterday but then I went to use it today and the pictures are so fuzzy. Has anyone else had this problem with their iPhone 5?

My camera just recently went blurry. It was working just fine yesterday but then I went to use it today and the pictures are so fuzzy. Has anyone else had this problem with their iPhone 5?

1st... make sure nothing's covering/smudging the camera lens. then...
Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove the Camera app from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete the Camera app from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
- Restart the Camera app
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Anyone using PC sync on EOS Rebel cameras?

I need a PC flash sync output on my T5i. I have a hot shoe adapter but it does not work.
Anyone using a PC jack with no other flash connected?
Se my related post for details of my problem.

Hi TopDrifter,
To connect your camera to a Windows 7 computer, you'll need to change the communication mode.
To set your camera up for this, please do the following:
With the camera disconnected from the computer, turn the camera on. Press the "Menu" button. Now select the [Wrench, Hammer, 2] tab. Scroll down to "Communication" and press the "Set" button.
Select the [Print/PTP] and press "Set". This process is more completely described (and illustrated too!) on page 121 of your Digital Rebel XT Instruction Manual.
Now connect your camera to your computer and turn the camera on. Your computer should now recognize and have access to your Digital Rebel XT.
Unfortunately, Canon software cannot communicate with the Rebel XT when operating in this mode.
You may download your pictures using Windows Photo Gallery, or you may use a card reader to download images. If you haven't already done so, you may retrieve and install this program from Microsoft's download.live.com.

Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file?

Has anyone ever had a problem with their iphone 4 not syncing and/or writing a backup file? Itunes locks up when i attempt a sync as well as when I transfer my purchases from my phone to Itunes. I'm running Itunes 10.4.1 on iOS 4.3.5. All of this is running on an 8 year old hp pavillian laptop running XP Pro that is fully updated. Could my phone have a bug or a hardware problem. Are there any known problems with iOS 4.3.5? Pretty frustrating problem so I'm hoping that someone has heard of this and can offer some suggestions on a solution. Thanks a bunch.

Did you used to have service and now suddenly you don't?
This happened to me a few years back, and several other iPhone users in my neighborhood, and after a while on the phone with AT&T they figured out that a technician had recently adjusted the receiver/sender on the tower and it was slightly off. They sent them back up and I actually had a better signal after than I did before it went out.
I would call AT&T and explain the issue you are having and see if they can fix it.
If you never had service there then like wjosten said it's probably just a bad zone.
Hope you get it sussed out.

Is there an actual technical support question there?

Has anyone used Aperture 2.0 with 8800GT?

Has anyone used Aperture 2.0 with the new 8800GT? I'm about to order a new Mac Pro and wonder if Aperture will get a speed boost with the 8800GT over the HD 2600XT. I've read many times that Aperture is very GPU dependent, but then I've also read, on Barefeats.com for example, that the graphics card really doesn't do that much of a difference after all.
For me, on my dual 2.0 G5 with 4.5GB and a X800XT, what's been most annoying with Aperture 1.5 has been the slow load times for raw images (15-20MB). But now with the quick preview mode in Aperture 2.0, that really isn't an issue any more.
Is the 8800GT worth waiting for, or should I just get the Mac Pro now with the HD 2600XT?

Hi Don
I'm using Aperture 2.0 with the 8800GT. My system is the new MacPro 8 core 2.8GH with 10GB RAM. I'm shooting Nikon D3 lossless compressed RAW files. Approximately 12-14MB each.
I do not need to use the quick preview mode. Images open instantaneously,either fit to screen or 100%. All the image adjustments are shown with no time lag. My D2X uncompressed raw files,19MB, display in approximately one second with quick preview turned off.
I'm no MAC hardware expert so I don't know how much the speed is the result of the 8800GT but I'm just one happy camper.
Hope this helps

Has anyone used Verizon Fios Services with Windows 7 ?

Yes Beta And RC. It works the same as Vista, with probably some enhancements. Didn't have any issues, but I did not try wireless.

Has anyone else had a problem with their nano sim slot bending snapping or breaking when they put their sim in!? I have had to order a replacement and only had the phone 5hours!

i Don't actually mean when you put it In the phone. I mean when you try to take the slot out of the phone with the pin. As soon as I pulled it out it bent.
That makes less sense as the sim tray a fairly stiff metal and should be pulled straight out once released. You didn't answer the question about where is was bought. Is is a real iPhone?

Has anyone else had difficulty using WPA2 Internet sharing with their Apple TV? Any solutions?

Hi.
I've seen references to this on here, but no solutions.
I use my 27" 2010 iMac to share Internet in my home, latest versions of OSX and iOS.. Works fine, sharing with iPhones, an iPad and my Apple TV 2.
Recently though, I changed to WPA2, and the Apple TV can't see Home Sharing is on. If I switch security (ie WPA2) off, then it can see it again.
So has anyone found a way to use WPA2 successfully with their Apple TV?
Thanks in advance.

I’d suggest uninstalling:
Blackberry software
the cycling74 driver
Any HP “utilities” (regarding the HP IO. Apple told developers to stop using Startup Items back in 10.3.)
any Adobe software you have (the “not loaded” ones are not loading because they’re incompatible.
the com.apple.CSConfig one.
facebook
google keystone agent
Unfortunately you have a lot of very questionable old, incompatible, and probably bad software on your Mac that is not playing well with Mavericks. Some of these can be difficult to uninstall, particularly if you are not familiar with poking around in Mac system folders.
You might consider cutting to the chase and doing a clean install:
backup your documents and passwords, network settings, etc.
Completely erase your hard drive
Reinstall mavericks and your apps from scratch (not from backups)
and finally replacing your documents.
It can be a good thing. Spring cleaning. If you want to go this route, let me know, I can give you some more detailed suggestions for how to do it. The advantage is you can get Mavericks running really fast and reliably, and then be more selective about what you reinstall. A lot of the stuff you have on there is probably from apps you don't even use anymore (like for your Blackberry), or that really aren't necessary.

PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

Anyone using Blackmagic Intensity Pro with Premiere CS4

I've looked through the threads and have seen similar postings, but no real good answers. Is anyone using Blackmagic Intensity Pro to viiew timeline on a HDTV using the HDMI connector?
I purchasedf the Intensity Pro and can't get it to work with CS4. Any assistance would be appreciated.

If you're using a Core i7 processor, one of the problems might be with the motherboard. There's only one Intel board that BM has approved (sorry, don't have the model in front of me -- on a piece of scratch paper in my wife's car).
I'm looking to build a new system myself and have been looking at the Intensity Pro card as well. The main feature I'm looking for is real-time preview and program output to an HD monitor that I'd hook up via HDMI. I probably also would use it to capture analog sources for audio and video. I don't have any interest in BM's lossless data capture as it creates monster-sized files. That's why I was also planning to add Cineform once it's fully approved and working for CS4. However, as best as I can tell, the Intensity Pro card doesn't recognize the Cineform codec on the timeline. Does anyone know if and how well these two will function together within Premiere? (I'm also assuming that the new 4.1 release might make these types of Premiere add-ons work better.)
Thanks.
