AVCHD settings. Which are best?

I"m using a Canon Vixia HF200 that records beautiful AVCHD video at 24mbs. And FCP's log and transfer is cool and painless. However, I"m not sure which is the best timeline setting to use with this AVCHD. I've used Apple Intermedia Codec (HQ) but that just chokes my core 2 duo Macbook Pro running 2 gigs of RAM. Even editing AVCH at the lowly 8mbs is giving me some problems. This footage is full 1920 x 1080 so should I set my sequence to DVCPROhd 1080i, Apple Intermediate Codec, Apple Intermedia Codec (HQ)? Should it be set to square pixels or HDTV, etc. etc.? I"d like to know the best setting for my MacBook so I can at least not have to render every red bar after every simple edit. Thanks

There is no Apple Intermediate Codec HQ. Transcode to ProRes LT and edit in a ProRes LT sequence.

Objects or Methods? Which are best related with performance?

Good morning,
I waked up this morning with a question in my mind. What is the best thing, to have objects inside another object or else to have methods?
Okay the question may sound confusing, so I will simplify it with an example. Imagine having an object of type Client. This object needs to load all the client contact details from a file (simple text file).
Now what would it be the best solution, to have the following code:
public class Client{
   private Details details;
      public Client(){
         this.details = this.loadDetails();
      �
      public Details loadDetails(){
      �
} OR
public class Client{
   private Details details;
   private DetailsLoader loader;
   public Client(){
      this.loader = new DetailsLoader();
      this.details = loader.loadDetails();
} It is very clear that in the first code segment I am using methods inside the same class to load the details of the client, while in the second code segment I am using another object to load these details.
OOP wise the second method is better. But what If I have thousands or millions of clients registered in the system? That would mean that in memory, each one of these object (a 1000 for example) will have a DataLoader in memory as well (thus becoming 2000)! The more the numbers increase, the less the system will perform.
I am asking this question because I want to develop something that still is strictly OOP, but that it is not so much of a heavy weight on a system.
Any opinion on this is more then welcome :)

Thanks for the posts :)
I am sorry my example was not clear enough. However all I wanted is to display the effects of having an instance of an object inside another object. I think the best solution would be to create an interface of type Client and then if the file needs to be loaded from an XML I would create a class XMLClient that implements Client (please not I am keeping the stupid example which most probably does not make sens).
I did that example to show the difference that will happen in the JVM memory according to the different implementation.
Imagine having object A that has a method load() to load the data from an XML file. Then in memory, when creating a new instance of type A, I will have the object A defined in the Heap, and the pointer to A in the stack.
If instead I have an object A that has an object B with the method load(). Then if B is initialized from A, in memory I will have objects A and B in the Heap, and a pointer to both object in the Stack. If instrad object B is initalized from somewhere else and passed to A as a parameter, then I can have many instance of A while having one instance of B.
I do not know if anyone understood the above. But what I am trying to say is that the different implementations, altough at the end of the day they will all result to the same ending, on the back end they are effecting the JVM in a different way!
I know that the best solution is to feed B to A, so that I have one big object in memory loaded only once :)
Was it "where am I?" ;-)No actually it was .. "shit I'm still here :D" :)

Cannot send email from iPhone. Outgoing settings are correct. Checked them against iPad settings which are OK and can send mail. What can I do?

For IOS7.02
The user name and password are in two places. Make sure they are correct in both locations.
Settings>>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>>your email>>
First spot is here under INCOMING MAIL SERVER
Below this is OUTGOING MAIL SERVER
Select: SMTP smtp.comcast.net>> PRIMARY SERVER :smtp.comcast.net>>second location of user name and password
Here is the second place that the user name and password must be checked.
I had changed my password in the first spot, but not the second spot. I had been receiving the same error message. This fixed my problem.

Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone!
As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
Let me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
Which is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
[Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
AE and Premiere Pro both CS4

If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
"FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
"FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects".

What compressor settings settings are best for 1080i to output to DVD using DVD Studio pro?

What compressor settings settings are best for 1080i to output to DVD using DVD Studio pro? I used FCP 6, exported using Quick Time.

DVDs are only SD. There was at one time HD-DVDs, which DVD SP and Compressor can make, but HD-DVDs will only play in Macs and, now obsolete HD-DVD players. HD-DVDs will not play back in standard DVD players or Blu-Ray players. If you want to make a "DVD will be played on DVD player for TV" disc, your only choice is SD.
If you want HD video on a disc, then you want Blu-Ray. You will need a Blu-Ray burner (Apple does not make a Blu-Ray burner so you will have to buy a third-party Blu-Ray burner), Blu-Ray discs and software that will make a Blu-Ray disc. That could be the latest version of Compressor, or FCPX, or Toast, or Encore.

What are BEST settings for the WEB?

Hello, I have a short in RED Hd 1920/1080 finished on FCP 6. I made a QT and then used compressor to make a 800mbps Quicktime for the web, deinterlaced and checked BETTER tab, others stayed with regular.
I also made one through FCP into a QT in 640/480 which is size I need.
On the web it looks clear and plays fine. Problem is when there is motion or
lots of movement, it stops and goes, jitters like ****, not smooth all.
What settings are best to make it SMOOOTH, just like when watching it on computer or as best. I know you got much bigger things to talk about but if you know please let me know.
H.264, Mpeg4 or Sorenson ect...just looking for smooth as can get it for playing on web.
THANKS.

800mbps Quicktime for the web,< </div>
The compression is reducing the number of pixels being shown in order to maintain the bitrate. So rapid motion, which requires nearly all of the pixels to be redrawn, causes things to stutter.
Compression is really, really hard to do. Really.

I cannot get itunes to work/install on myPC. I am running windows 8 in a 64 bit machine. I also want to purchase books via itunes for my Nook. Are you deliberately excluding PC owners so we cannot use ituens on our computers???? I have selected a community but have no idea what community I should be working with. Can somone explai these communities to me? Also. you don't allow much time to go thru the sign up process. I had to start over SEVERAL times as you kept timing me out. Jesus...when people are signing up for the first time, we have no idea of the questions that will be asked. Give us a break and give us time to sign up. Not everone is disability free and able to go thru your process quickly...you are NOT user friendly. You should be for people who are wanting to join your community. I used to want an Apple product but now that I have had first hand experience with your web page, I think I will probably stay away from Apple products. VERY DISAPPOINTING

Which are the correct settings for gmail in MacBookPro

I want to use mac mail to access my gmail. Can I ? instead of going directly to web to access my gmail.? Which are the correct settings for the incoming and outgoing servers ?

Hi,
Yes. You can absolutely access your Gmail account from within either Mail or Microsoft Outlook for Mac. Make sure, that you have enabled POP/IMAP in your Gmail settings, then follow the instructions here: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=180188 if you wish to access your account via POP3 instead of IMAP, change the incoming mail server to pop.gmail.com

Before you go, move the files to I tunes and sync them down. There is no viable way to stream from your nas drive to the pad.

Which dishes are best?

QuestionWhich dishes are best?
AnswerThere is no 'best' dish!
First, it's most important to choose foods with cooking times that match your schedule. Choosing dishes with cooking times that correspond with your schedule will ensure that you are able to serve your dishes before they spoil. When dishes spoil, you lose the Chips that you invested.
You should also check out the amount of servings that each dish produces. If you are keen on maintaining a good rating for you Cafe, you should always keep your serving tables full of food. By choosing dishes that produce the amount of food that corresponds with the rate you play Cafe, your serving tables will always remain full.
To calculate the potential profit of each dish, do the following math:
One dish of Local Vegetarian Omelette produces 150 servings. The dish costs 280 Chips to cook. Customers pay 5 Chips for one serving of this dish.
150 servings*5 Chips = 750 Chips
After all servings of this dish are served to customers, you will have earned 750 Chips.
750-280 = 470 Chips
The net profit of the Local Vegetarian Omelette is 470 Chips.
But remember--in order to earn this profit you must serve the dish before it spoils!

Well, your both formulas are correct (Sarah, chowpuppy), but, it depends on the aim of the game.I f you aim to get higher levels fast, you should maybe consider different approach.Basically, if you could reach 5* rating, then the number of customers you will have will be same whatever you do.This means you should think of the maximum earning you can get from each customer.Chowpuppy formula can be helpful if you have lack of food, but if you do not have such problem, use Sarah's formula.Chowpuppy formula is very helpful in Farm game.If you are aiming to get higher in levels faster, you need to supply the highest paid food, since the number of customers are the same, so why waste a customer with 5 chips when you can get 28 chips out of him?The best food for sure depends on the level your game is, they keep changing, but remain the same after some level, I don't remember which it was.If you are aiming to be the best employer, you need to get the most profit out of food.To make it short, the best food for both aims is "Maryland Crab Cakes": higher paid and highest profit.Black & Tan is the highest paid but not much profit, and very short time to cook, your cooker will not be able to be as fast.I earlier levels, there was another dish that pays around 35 chips, I don't remember the dish name, since I suddenly lost it in my menu. Try to buy as much as you can of it, before you also lose it when you get higher levels.Good Luck all..

Top download and install apps you need space available on the iPod equal to about three time the file download size. If you download more than one app at a time you need about three times the total file download size available so it is better if short on storage to purchase one at a time.
