Are you satisfied with iphone 4s ability to shoot 1080 HD video?

Hello to all,
Planning for an iPhone 4s basically as a second 'camera' to capture 1080 HD video and use the footage for my movies. Would like to hear from iPhone 4s users who are using their phones for this type of work.
DR.SOMANNA

I've been using a Panasonic Lumix camera that is capable of video recording at 1280x720p. Just finished a 1 hour annual family DVD. I imported the video at 720p and did all the editing in iMovie 09. I did use FCE for some special effects, exported these in 1280x720p, imported them into iMovie 09 in 1280x720p. After editing I exported the iMovie 09 Project using Share, Export Movie..., HD. This creates a 1280x720p .mov file. In other words, all the editing and export is done in HD. Unfortunately when I used iDVD or Toast my DVDs were poor quality. After experimenting with various other DVD authoring tools, I came across MovieGate ($20). This software produces a good quality DVD -- much better than either iMovie or Toast and is relatively fast. I'll continue to use this approach until Blue Ray becomes more mainstream and affordable. I think there is a trial version of MovieGate available. In my opinion, worth a try.

  • Are you satisfied with your ability to edit HD movies in Mac OS

    I've spent the last few days going over all the posts for the past month about import and codecs and resolution, and it seems that the issue of editing HD video on a Mac platform is somewhat problematic. So before I go out and spend $500 - $1000 on an HD camcorder I would like to know, given all the limitations and work arounds, are you satisfied with the final output. Here are the limitations, iMovie (either 06HD or 09) or FCE, an Intel based iMac, and AVCHD based flash memory camcorder either from Panasonic or Canon. Burning to DVD.
    From what I gather, with the above set up HD is out of the question. Can one get SD quality DVD's? Can one expect DVD quality videos, which to me look better than current SD TV.
    I think I would be satisfied if I could get DVD like videos out of a setup like I described above. If edited videos would be worse than that I would have second thoughts. I'm just not sure from reading all the posts whether the dissatisfaction I detect is from disappointment from not equaling the output of direct from camera, or from a truly degraded picture.
    Thanks for your opinion.

  • Are you satisfied with your test?

    Hi everybody,
    After performing 2 certifications (I failed in both cases with 52 over 60 and 60 over 66) I have realized that most of the test questions are non-sense questions. Particulary those quesions related with exihibits (very long time consuming questions even if you do not look into it...).
    Furthermore, the level of detail demanded in some cases is stupid. I am really discouraged about certification and now I undersand why in my country certifications are seen as a way for Oracle to earn money. Do you agree with that?

    After performing 2 certifications (I failed in both cases with 52 over 60 and 60 over 66) I shall take that you have taken 2 exams, I assume you got 52 right when 60 was needed, and 60 right when 66 was needed.
    However I am sorry you failed after the effort you put in.
    Hopefully you were not trying to take both exams on the same day.
    I have realized that most of the test questions are non-sense questions. Typically I disagree. Typically less than 5% of the questions at most could be thought to be inappropriate.
    Particulary those quesions related with exihibits (very long time consuming questions even if you do not look into it...).
    Part of the technique it to be able to evaluate those rapidly.
    Furthermore, the level of detail demanded in some cases is stupid.Thatis your opinion, and I can undertand it after having failed 2 exams.
    I am really discouraged about certificationI am sorry to hear that. I would not be happy after failing two exams. It is not automatic that everyone is suitable for this industy, and failing certification may be telling you something. There again failing certification does always mean you can't do the job, it may be your preparaion was ineffective or incomplete or it may be taking certifcation exams doesn't suit. Or it may be english is your second langauage and that makes the exams more difficult. However it may be in indicator you may struggle with the associated job.
    and now I undersand why in my country certifications are seen as a way for Oracle to earn money. Do you agree with that?Well you haven't given me an indicator of what your country is a this point.
    That said I strongly suspect Oracle makes relatively little money from certification. Certainly not directly. And I suspect directly associated certification training does not bring in too much either. Though it may seem as if it does to normal wage earners and students.

    Regards,
    MarcosIf I had just failed 2 tests I would probably not be in a good mood.
    And depending on the tests I could be in an awkward position through not passing them.
    Anyway take time off from the study, have a good weekend, and evaluate what you will do next.
    Try to determine your weakspots, be honest with yourself.
    Take some relaxation.
    Dream about what paths you would take if give up certification.
    Dream about what paths you would take if you continue with certification. Then be realistic. Try to identify what went wrong. Was it knowledge, preparation, practice, insufficient training, poor training, poor understanding of questions, poor time management in the exam ? Don't blame Oracle, the exam, the test center, anyone else, everyone else .... determine how you can get to point where you are over 85% certain you can achieve a score of at least half way between the pass mark and 100%. And be sure you can be honest with yourself in making this decision.
    Good luck with whichever way you go.
    Everything in this is my opinion.
    PS: Half way through this I notice Matthew has already answered ... hopefully I dont duplicate too much of what he has said.

  • Are you satisfied with your iPod nano?

    I personally am. Yes, I've spent a bunch of money on nano tubes, and countless screen protectors that weren't invisible at all, and taking them off caused me to scratch the screen. But, I finally have a decent screen protector and a nano tube, and with the lanyard headphones the nano works great. I am very satisfied with the nano despite having to cover it up with an ugly tube. This is also my first iPod and hopefully the next one I buy won't be so scratchy, but for now I am very pleased.

    yes completely. i got mine on october 27 and am using it everyday. i got overlay plus twin pack covers which are simply perfect (people basically don't believe me i have any cover on!) and i'm waiting for my nano tubes which i ordered over apple website here. i want tubes just to add some color to nano. i also got to say i was affraid about scratches and lcd failure, but so far mine is as fresh looking as from the box. btw, while i was waiting for the overlay plus covers i carried mine in a soft case for glasses. this is my second ipod, first one was shuffle, and i will definitely buy new flash memory based ipods in future! great stuff! also, great service from croatian apple web site and their office. not advertizing anyone...
    enjoy music everyone!

  • Are you satisfied with MSI software?

    Last week I bought a MSI NX6600GT-VTD128. I installed the MSI software that came with the card:
    MSI Live Update: the program doesn't find the new NVidia drivers from December 2004
    3D! Turbo Experience: just doesn't work with the card, shows no information
    I uninstalled all MSI software and installed the newest NVidia driver: the MSI tabs in the Display Properties remain
    Senseless... 

    Yeah, I always do that stuff manually. If it works I generally don't fix it, unelsss for testing purposes. All that live update crap just puts users in to this false sense of necessity to have the latest driver and BIOS. Heck, it's so widely recommended in articles by supposed tech guru's to have the latest and greatest.... I'm here to tell you they are dead wrong if they dont mention the fact that there is no need to update hardware, unless there is a specific need to. Many times I see posts here how updating something for no apparent reason gets folks in trouble, especially when it comes to VGA BIOS updates. I even make money on customers because of things like that, almost on a weekly basis.
    That mentality needs to be wiped out.

  • Adobe 7 is not compatible with Vista, If you are not satisfied with that answer...

    Unfortunately for what I do for a living I can't use a mac, cannot WAIT till they do become compatible or I just switch professions!
    I have adobe 7Pro because I MUST create PDF documents for my business, however when my laptop crashed for the 3rd time in less than a year and I was NOT about to pay HP $400 to reboot it, instead I had fun and smashed it (like in Office Space) and went out and bought a new Sony Vaio.  This laptop is nice and all however now ALL new computers come with Gates newest form of a rip off, VISTA, which had so many issues they release a new update for it every day and professional companies wouldn't touch it, so they FORCED it on us small business owners and personal computer users, such CRAP! (If you notice all large corporations use XP, there is no Vista for large corps, there's a reason for that...
    The people that do NOT have the $ to keep upgrading and paying for FIX ITS online from some unknown who has figured a work around are forced to use this crap!!!  I'm BEYOND anoyed... ANYWHO I am installing my adobe 7pro and every time I open it I get asked to "ACTIVATE AGAIN" so I call in to get a NEW Activation code and a minute later it does it AGAIN... SOOO, I get Tech support and the IDIOT in India literally READS to me the following statements: 
    "Adobe 7 is not compatible with Vista" 
    I tell him, that's a lie because my friend uses it on vista.
    He proceeds to READ to me "If you are not satisfied with that answer, then acrobat no longer supports Adobe 7". WTF?!?!? If I am not SATISFIED with that answer!??! aparantly he was NOT supposed to read THAT part!!! Laughing I proceed to tell him to piss off and hang up on him because I am SOOO tired of all these damn AMERICAN companies outsourcing their customer service to some 3rd world country where they pay these people $5 a week and have them just read from a ******* script for your problems, that is NOT technical support, that's BULL CRAP!  I know 4 yr olds that read english better!!!
    I am sick and tired of it... I might just take advantage of the 14 day return policy and go to Apple and buy a mac next week and change my profession sooner than I had planned JUST TO AVOID USING THIS CRAP!!! ADOBE YOU SUCK!!! Microsoft SUCKS!!!
    If you run into this problem do what I am doing, go to Apple and buy a mac, we need to stand up against all this and pay attention to the COMMERCIALS that are VERY TRUE and drop Microsoft, IBM, anything Gates related and stop using their products!!!

    Thanks Mike!
    I'm just so frustrated, its bad enough my other laptop wasn't even 2 yrs old
    yet and I've spent $800 to have it fixed twice already, this 3rd time I was
    DONE... so I moved onto Sony, but this Vista just is making my life a living
    hell, I just spent a fortune on the laptop, and now I have to buy Adobe 9
    when my adobe 7 isn't even 2 yrs old... ugh... its just very frustrating and
    nerve racking and is costing more than I make in a week in this business
    (real estate processing)... I should sell Microsoft for a living, I'd be a
    millionaire!
    My husband's Mac has been through hell and back physically, is 5 yrs old and
    we've never had to take it in for any upgrades or issues, its SO easy to
    use... why can't Microsoft be the same?!?!
    Thanks for your input and for being understanding of my frustration, I bet
    you see those often! LOL

  • Are you happy with your Touch?

    I am looking at an iPod Touch since I really don't need an iPhone.
    Right now I am using a Palm Pilot and I like it.
    Has anyone made a switch from the Palm Pilot to a Touch?
    Are you happy with it?
    Thanks,
    Fred

    I've owned a lot of electronics and feel the Touch is the coolest of them all. Now that I've got a MiFi I can listen to Pandora pretty much anywhere, on my TOuch. We just drove from San Jose to LA and had Pandora on the entire time, in the car. Very awesome. There is an app for just about anything imaginable with many of them being free. While the screen doesn't have the gorgeous blacks and color of the BB Storm, it's still cool to watch movies on the Touch, play various games, view the internet, and on and on. My wife and I both use our Touchs every day and by plugging in to recharge when the indicator shows about 1/2 charge, we don't run out of juice to use them to our heart's content. Highly recommended. You can even straighten pictures on the wall with a Touch!

    Where did you buy it? If you bought it from the Mac App Store use the Support link through the Mac App Store or contact the developer. We are end users just like yourself, if I recall correctly the terms on the Mac App Store say all sales are final.

  • Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

    Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

    If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
    Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
    Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
    Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
    If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

  • After the July 16th news, are you getting an iPhone 4?

    So, after hearing Steve Jobs on July 16th, are you getting an iPhone 4? It will be released in Canada on July 30th. I currently have a 3GS and want the new iPhone badly, but am on the fence. The case isn't an issue, since I would be buying a 3rd party case to protect the perimeter and back.
    I am hesitating because based on what I've been reading on a few tech blogs, there's a chance Apple might release a revised phone early, as in a few months from now. Are you taking the plunge?

    Yes, a revised iPhone is a real possibility. It could start shipping tomorrow. Or next week. Or next month. Or September. If one is launched, it could be as early as October, or possibly November. We might also see a revised iPhone in December or January, and of course Apple could choose to start shipping modified handsets in February or March, or they might wait until April, May or even June. And the iPhone 4 S could be launched in July.
    It's also a real possibility that Apple might think that they don't need to do anything - sales figures are healthy enough even with the "problems", so they could decide there's no need to spend more money changing the current model when people are buying it regardless.
    However, those are all simply possibilities - they might happen, they might not. What you should be thinking about is the reality - the iPhone 4 is available right now. Some people have problems; most don't (based on the stated fact that .55% of owners have complained - meaning over 99% of owners have not complained). The most sensible course of action is to either buy an iPhone now, and see if you can cope with it. If you can, great - keep it, you're an iPhone user. If not, no probs - get a refund and wait up to a year for a newer model.
    There is ALWAYS a newer, better model of whatever gadget just around the corner. The question is, do you wait for the next one, or do you buy the current one and actually use it?

  • Are you happy with your Galaxy S5?  I'm looking for a new phone.

    Are you happy with you Galaxy S5?  I'm looking for a new phone.

    Very happy after getting it to stop keeping the display lit after charging completes.  Battery life blows my Galaxy Nexus out of the water.  The GNex was like an electric car with a 30 mile range.  Always looking for a charge.  The S5's screen is gorgeous.  OLED is a must-have for me.  Signal strength is better than the GNex and the S5 is XLTE-ready so you can get faster speeds in those markets.  I got 69.08/18.95 in Kansas City back in May.  Other XLTE areas have had download speeds of high 20s to low 30s.  Performance is good.  The interface feels smooth and responsive.  I even like the look.  It's like something out of a 50s diner.
    My only real gripe is the storage.  16 gigs is pretty sad these days and only 10 gigs are available.  I know you can add a 128 gig card (I have) but few apps load completely to the card.  Heck, lots of apps won't put anything on the card.  A flagship phone should have 32 and 64 gig options.
    I also wish I could just load the bare OS and skip all the bells and whistles that Samsung's added.

  • Are you happy with Java Applets?

    Are you happy with deploying your Forms to the Web as Java Applets? What kind of issues did you run into? Did you go the Java Applet deployment route for the lack of an easier/faster option? Wouldn't you prefer to deploy your forms as standard JSP pages? I really appreciate your feedback.
    Ali

    Ali,
    I wished things were as easy as black and white. It depends on what kind of application your are building. Is it busineess to business, business to customer, an Internet application or a heavily used internal application with high transaction volumes.
    There are a lot of application types that I, as a Forms Product Manager, wouldn't encourage you to use Forms for. Keeping in mind the memory footprint onthe server, the JInitiator plug in and the download time, self service applications that are of short term use definitively are not what Forms is made for.
    On the other side, JSP still requires a back end because its an interface technology and according to the MVC paradigm the view shouldn't have business logic in it. So you can use EJBs or Oracle's Business Components for Java to build the backbone of your application. In either way you are stepping out of the JSP case.
    There is a reason for all different interface types to exist: Use Java Applet for what they are good for and the Forms design and intended usage really goes in line with that. Please have a look at this Whitepaper for a good insight in the subject of Forms and J2EE technologies

  • What browser are you using with OS 9.x?

    Would you all please state which internet browser you are using with OS 9.x and the strengths/weaknesses you are experiencing with it?
    I switch back and forth between Mozilla and Internet Explorer but fewer and fewer websites work properly with them. If there is a better browser than those two I would add it to my old Wallstreet running 0S 9.1.
    Again, what browser are you using with OS 9.x and what are its good/bad points?
    Thanks!

    Itunes just refused to upload the last Santana CD if i did not upgrade my old v8 to v10; it probably will do the same for every recent cd...so there is an issue here.
    Since i had to go back from v9 to V8 cause 9 just did not work on my pc, i do not feel confident about upgrading to 10 now...
    are you happy with V10 + XP? (one that cannot afford buying a mac...)
