Are any aps better than lock & load X for shaky cam

I shot a lot of vacation footage and a fair amount of it is pretty shaky. I've tried the free download for Lock & Load X from Core Melt and it seems to work for some shots but not all. Does anyone know of any other apps out there that are better for shaky camera footage, or is there some aspect of Lock & Load that if applied will make it work better? Thanks for any help--

Also…many people swear by Warp Stabilizer in After Effects. There is a 30 day trial if you would like to evaluate it.
There is also a pretty good stabilizer in Motion ($49), which I think is the same engine that FCP X (meaning the new FCP, not Final Cut Express) uses but with some more controls.

Any Channel Better Than Others?

I have an AppleTv that streams thru our WiFi Airport Extreme network from my iMac in my other office. It stalls & stops alot. Someone suggested I change the channel on my Airport Extreme. There's several different channels. Any one better than another to resist interference? We do have DECT 6.0 phones.

"iStumbler didn't find any other networks."
Very good news. Check again later in the evening as there may be some other networks busy at that time. If you don't see any other networks, you are most fortunate.
Could you explain further what you mean by "The best channel is the one that is the most distance from other channels."
I know this is a bit difficult to understand because the channels interact and overlap with one another. There are really only 3 channels that do not overlap with each other... 1, 6 and 11. If you have no other channels in range and set the Airport Extreme to Automatic, it will likely choose one of these 3 channels. Give it a try.
Now if there were more channels in use around you and for example, you find that someone is using channel 6. Then your best channel choice is either 1 or 11 because they are the most distant from 6. Or, if someone is on 8, then choose 1. The real challenges start when you find out channels 2,5,7 and 10 are all in use. Then you can't choose a channel that does not overlap with one of the others.

Are there any other ext. soundcards better than SB Live! for recording?

Hi everyone,
About a year or so ago, I purchased the Soundblaster Live! 24-bit external
I record from
Guitar --> Amp--> SB Live! --> Adobe Audition
The tones I get are decent I guess, but I have found that my tone gets stripped down from what I am hearing from the amp. The sound out of the amp will sound crisp, but once I record into audition and playback, it sounds very choppy and dry.
My question is, is this the best or are there other ext. soundcards that can get me a better tone?
Also, when I record, I plug into line-in in the soundcard, and in adobe, I select the soundcard and record from there. Are there any configurations I should try to see if I can get a better tone? Thanks everyone for your help.

Alright great thanks, I will look into those.
I am a noobie when it comes to cards sorry.
How does my SB Live! compare to the X-Fi Elite Pro? That seems to be external, yet it also has the PCI card in which you would have to install it into the computer right? How does that work?
And also how does my SB Live! compare to the Audigy 2 ZS?
Thanks for the help.
I am looking at the M-Audio Revolution 7.1 PCI Surround Recording Card from Musiciansfriend, it was the best rated. and I was wondering can I install that on a Dell Inspiron 9100 Laptop or do I need the card that is specialized for a laptop?Message Edited by oldspice891 on 09-02-2006 02:38 AM
X-Fi Elite Pro is a PCI type soundcard w/ external I/O console so, you can't use it w/ a laptop. M-Audio Revolution cards, 5.1 and 7.1 are PCI type soundcards too (here are USB/FirewWire models listed). The only Creative SB Audigy 2 laptop models are Audigy 2 ZS Notebook (PCMCIA) and Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor (USB) and Audigy 2 NX (USB). You find technical information for those from Creative web. The Notebook model is the only from those that has ASIO support (other supports ASIO through WDM/KS wrappers (like USB-ASIO (~50US$) and Asio4All (freeware) drivers)
W/ laptop you can use only USB, FireWire and CardBus/PCMCIA audio devices.
There are not many CardBus/PCMCIA cards available, and the only low budget PCMCIA card is Audigy 2 ZS Notebook. E-MU has two excellent models 1616 and 1616M but the prices are much higher than Aydigy has. Other available CardBus/PCMCIA cards are ECHO Indigo (two models) and couple (expensive) Digigram models.
As FireWire (IEEE1394) interface, there are models starting from around 100US$ (Behringer), but I would rather recommend devices around 300-450US$ (there are many excellent models w/ and/or w/o mic pre-amps, etc.). FireWire type devices are better from USB devices because of lower CPU consumption and faster throughput. Also w/ 3rd party drivers you can connect/use several FireWire audio devices simultaenously.
An USB device is perhaps the cheapiest way to go. There are plenty of models available so you just need to place your requirements and find the one.

Are wireless routers better than non-wireless ones?

Hey all,
I've come to this forum, because the last time I had a problem with my computer, this venue definitely gave me the best answers and I learned quite a bit of information.
Anyhow, I have recently moved and want to connect my computer to the optimum online (the long island version of road runner) modem. However, I need a router, because cablevision is too cheap to provide one (even though Verizon does for their DSL service, and it's about 60% of the cost of time warner, but that's not why I'm here...haha). I actually have a few questions regarding this issue.
1. Is a wireless router going to give me as much as speed as a non-wireless one? (Keep in mind, I live way out east on the island, where it's pretty rural)
2. I'm concerned about virus protection. My dad's PC is completely infected with viruses. Even though he'll be purchasing a new one in the next few months, I'm concerned that they may infiltrate my computer. I have Virex and I've had no problems whatsoever with viruses (or is it virii), but I want to continue with that clean record. I saw there are some modems with firewall built in. Does that make a difference?
3. Verizon let me keep their DSL modem with inputs for 4 ethernet cables (the built-in router I suppose). Is there any way I can use this as a router for the cable service? I apologize for this question, but if I can find a use for this modem, I'd like to (and DSL is not available in this area).
Thanks a lot. Happy New Year!
~Jeremy

Jeremy, First welcome to the discussions,
Wireless technology is just a few mbs slower than a wired connection, for the most part you won't notice it.
Cabble is different than DSL. With cable you will get better more consistant speeds than you will with DSL.
Normally DSL is furnished through phone lines and the farther you are from the ISP's Servers the slower your connection is. This is not the case with Cable.
You are correct about Viruses. Mac is not to date affected by viruses Trojans and Malware. It is a good idea if for no other reason than peace of mind to have Virex or
http://www.clamxav.com/
All ISp's have firewalls on there servers, as well as any Router you buy will have a Firewall that is normally configured by typing in 192.168.1.1 in your Browser this will open the Routers Utility settings. This information is with any Routers Paperwork.
Mac OSX has one of the best firewalls you can also set up.
Normally almost all Viruses are sent through e-mail while they won't affect the UNIX operating system when you get an e-mail with a virus you can pass it on to another windows user who can be infected.
If you have the adapter that plugs in to the socket that accepts the Cable in and the Cat5 or Cat6 out then yes you can use it, you will need the Ip Address that your service provides. If your serviceuses Cat 5 or 6 Eternet Cable the technology is the same worldwide. It really depends on what your cable service has furnished you with.
You should be able to run an ethernet cable from your Internet Service Providers Modem ( Instead of plugging it in to your computer) Plug it into the Uplink port of the Verizon Router and try it. Like I said you may have to get into the Utility and set the Ip for you to do away with the other one, you should only need one.
It would however be the hot set up if you can use the Modem Router Combined.
There is also a good chance if they haven't hooked you up yet show the tech that comes to hook you up the Modem Router you have and if he can he will probably use it if you talk real nice.
Remember for the most part a Modem is a Modem, and a Router is a Router. Some have a few different features but the technology is the same and works under the same principles.
This should help. Don

Are 2 drives better than 1

I am not planning on doing any raid. My Question:
If you have 2 drives: 1 for the boot and the other for data:
(250g each). Would that setup be better than one 500g drive in terms of speed etc?
Just looking for opinions?

Beside of that purpose on the previous post, I prefered split that HD into two for back up and ease of restoring data and system purpose.
So the next time you want to reinstall the OS and all programs I could concentrate on the Os system drive without having to much worry about data which is stored on other drive or if I want to back up data, just concentrate on data drive without worrying about accidently deleted system or part of program files.
Good Luck.

Are ipad maps better than a satnav when travelling in europe?

I'll be travelling in England, France and Ireland later on in the year and am wondering whether I can use my ipad for maps or if it is cheaper to buy a satnav. I have heard that data charges are high.

Satellite navigation systems are dedicated to their tasks without the need for external data feeds (except for the map updates you will perform probably only before you leave).
Also, iPads displayed for all the world to see seems a juicer theft target than a tiny unglamorous GPS box.
My humble opinion.

Are Apple routers better than others?

I have wi-fi at my home and I have problems with AirPlay as it sometimes skips.
I'm thinking of buying Time Capsule and I want to know if it's powerfull enough to work in a normal size house and will it solve AirPlay problem?
Is wi-fi on Time Capsule better than on Motorola VIP1003 router?

The broadcast power of all routers is limited by law. Every manufacturer is running their products at 100%, so there will be very little difference between routers of different manufacturers.
If you have having difficulty now, replacing your router with a Time Capsule will likely not solve your problems.
Instead, you will probably need to look for "extending" or "repeating" devices to provide a stronger signal throughout your house....whether you elect to add the Time Capsule or not.

Some commands are not working nor in illustrator nor photoshop, any advice better than Adobe?

Illustrator is not fuctioning at 100%, some commands do not work ( eg - command open, nor place etc ) and same with photoshop....
Any advice

pcmyhre,
You may try the list, possibly starting with item 7) in 5), which is a list of the usual suspects, which may disturb and confuse Illy so she fails to do even simple things.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
External media: It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky (for a while), but the chances of file corruption and other unpleasantnesses are immensely greater when you use anything but the harddisk, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

Why are two queries better than one

I'm trying to help out our developers who are struggling with the performance of a very simple select statmenent that for some reason is exhibiting some very inexplicable results.
I'll show the SQL as a single statement first.....
select * from transaction1 t where t.hid in (select distinct h.hid from history1 h,filter1 f where h.fid = f.fid and f.match='value');
transaction 1 has 250k records, history1 has about 100k as does filter1. We know generally the subselect will only return a total of half a dozen or less records (only 1 in our testing here).
Running the above query takes around 7 seconds.
Changing this to a with clause.....
WITH a as (select distinct h.hid from history1 h,filter1 f where h.fid = f.fid and f.match='value') select * from transaction1 t where t,hid in (select a.hid from a);
and the runtime drops to 3 seconds. But then re-running the first statement again also now takes 3 seconds (so I guess there's some caching going on there).
Now what really puzzles is if we split this into two queries.....
select distinct h.hid from history1 h,filter1 f where h.fid = f.fid and f.match='value';
This takes .1 of a second,
select * from transaction1 t where t.hid in (12345);
And this takes .1 of a second.
So why when run seperately are they so fast, yet combined they take so long. I'm a bit baffled by this. We've rewritten the same SQL in half a dozen different ways with the same result and also done the same thing with other tables as well. Is it an optimisation issue?

Are Explicit Cursors better than Select Statement

Hi Gurus,
I came across this opinion that explicit cursors are better (even if the query returns a single row) instead of a single row SELECT statement within the code in terms of performance.
Is that true??? Pls elaborate in either case.
Can i hear it from Sri/Andrew ???
Thanks for ur time...
Peyush

no, it is just the opposite

Why are Ipod Apps better than Iphone Apps?

There are some really nice apps available to the ipod touch that aren't available to the Iphone. Go search Ipod apps in the Itunes store and you will see what I am talking about. How come the same apps aren't available for both devices?

oops, they are not on the touch they are for the nano, and reg ipod. Still I am sure there is a way to develope them for the iphone.

Are MSI drivers better than NVidia drivers?

I wasn't sure, i use nvidia and dont have many system crashes (once a week at max). But I wondered if MSI ones were good? I have an AGP 6600GT.

ratkid132,
Go with the nVidia ForceWare Drivers every time, and that goes for any company that makes GeForce or Radeon Hardware, always go to either nVidia or ATI for Drivers.
Take Care,
Richard

Are any BB stores going to open early for iPhone 5c / 5s sales on Fri Sep 20?

10.4.6 handles BT better than 10.4.5 for me

I had previously posted and "solved" the problem of sustaining functions for paired BT mouse/keyboard under 10.4.5 by removing wired mouse/keyboard prior to start-up.
I am pleased to report that after upgrading to 10.4.6 both wired and BT devices can be used "at the same time". That is, the USB conflict no longer is experienced in 10.4.6.
I hope this is of some help to others. Has anyone else noticed that 10.4.6 is a better environment for BT?
Message was edited by: poppijade

Thanks, poppijade!
Always good to hear a positive every now and then.
I always wait a day or two before upgrading to let the servers take a breath. Hopefully, other folks'll report additional "pluses." [1]

Are Classes better than Function groups and Modules

Hi,
Are classes better than Function groups? For example if you want to execute something is back ground or use parallel processing you can't do it using classes. Even inside classes most of the places we use Function modules.
Then how classes are beneficial?
Regards,
Deepak Bhalla

Yes they are compared in the sense that the class and function group are the containers, and the methods and function modules are the interfaces in which you interact with the encapsulated data.
Again if you are developing an application in which you are not forced to push the processing to differenet work processes, then using classes/methods is preferrable. The reason I say this, is because anything coming from SAP will most likely be implemented as a class as opposed to a function group. This is not to say that SAP will not create new function modules, because of course there still is a use for them.

Rich Heilman
