I think your £1200 is about $2000 US dollars... which is just barely going to build a computer to work "fairly quickly" with HD video

Can I use InDesign cs6 to open and work with PM6.5 files?

It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager. After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image. Even vectored art. Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
It may be that any cropping gets lost, too? I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days!

Software available for working with large video files?

Hello,
I'm working in PP CS6. I was wondering if there are any workarounds or 3rd party plugins/software that
make working with really large video files easier and faster?
Thanks.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for helping. This is the first time I shot video with my Nikon D5200. It was only a 3 minute test clip
set at the highest resolution, 1920x1080-60i. I saw the red line above the clip in PP CS6 and hit the enter
key to render the clip.
It took almost 18 minutes or so to render the clip. This is probably normal but I was wondering if there is
a way to reduce the file size so it doesn't take quite as long to render. I just remember a few years back
that when the Red camera was out, guys were working with really huge files and there was a program
from Cine something that they used to reduce the file size and make it more manageable when editing.
I could be mistaken. I've been out of the editing look for a few years and just getting back into it.
Thanks.
Mark

Can anyone recommend a compatible DV camcorder for use with iMovie3?

This will be my 1st camcorder and only need to know if certain brands will/won't work with iMovie3 for simple family use. Any help will be much apprieciated! i'm on an Emac G4. thanks!

Welcome to the discussions.
iMovie 3 is the buggiest version ever. See it you can get hold of iLife '04. iLife '04 contains iMovie 4 and iDVD 4. iMovie 4 is much more stable than iMovie 3. iDVD 4 has better picture quality than iDVD 3.
For both iMovie 3 and 4, you must have a "DV" camera that uses mini-DV tapes. None of them comes with a Firewire cable, so you must purchase one separately. Firewire is also called i.Link, IEEE1394 or DV.
You can buy any currently selling DV camera as they will all work.
If you are looking on the "used" market, avoid Samsung.
Finally, don't ever empty iMovie's trash in iMove 1-4. You may lose your project.
Good luck.

Can anyone recommend a print server that will work with Mac & PCs?

Can anyone recommend a wireless print server that will work with Macs and PCs ?

Wireless has a disadvantage for many Powerbooks. Unless yours supports 802.11g, it is not secure. So it must support Airport Extreme on the Powerbook to have a secure wireless network. Also many printers only support 802.11b, making matters worse, as that is not secure. See my FAQ* on printing:
http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
Some printers have ethernet ports, which would allow you to use a Wireless ethernet bridge that is 802.11g. Similarly you could use one on the Mac, and then you'd have your wireless printing. Ask the printer manufacturer what might be possible. The last thing you want is an insecure network, especially if you are at most 4500 meters/1500 feet from someone who could pick it up and log into it that you don't want.

Can anyone recommend a printer which will actually work with mac 10.4.11 ?

Hi all! I have had problems getting a printer which will actually work with my macbook 10.4.11. I've tried HP deskjet f4180 (supposed to be compatible) and various lexmarks (no compatible software). Apple and hp, and my local curry's have not been able to assure me which printer will DEFINATELY work. I just wanted to hear from other Mac users with 10.4.11, if they had actually been able to find a printer which works properly. Would be greatful for any recommendations of printer's which are actually compatible with the updated tiger 10.4.11
Many thanks.
Crazynow!!

I read your previous posts, but had just upgraded to 10.4.11 & hadn't check my printers. All 3 of these work: Apple laserwriter 360, Brother HL 1440, and Brother MFC 7820N. I print to all of these wirelessly via airport.

Can anyone recommend a NAS media server that works with iTunes 10.5?

I currently have an Iomega Home Media Server but have given up on Iomega ever updating their firmware to work with the latest version of iTunes. Any suggestions for a suitable (not Iomega) replacement would be gratefully received.

non out of the box
the apple programs support accessing from shared itunes lib but only true ones even nas's which say they work like shared libs don't work
some nas like my sonology have apps for ios which allow me to play the media from them
and general upnp apps are also supported but you need to use 3th party apps

Advice for working with large clip files

A few years ago I made a movie using iMovie2. At the time I was working with clips recoded on one minidv disc. I am now ready to begin a project (just bought iLife06) that is much larger. I have roughly ten 60 min minidv discs. I am getting nervous about the amount of memory needed to import and work with this many clips.
Is it possible to import the clips to my external fire wire HD? Can I still work in iMovie while the project lives on the ext firewire drive? Can anyone tell me roughly how much memory is needed for larger projects like this? (I expect the final project will be 30-40 minutes).
Since the footage all comes from our European concert tour, it easily divides into 3 separate sections - would it be easier to create 3 different iMovie projects? Is it possible to combine them in the end to create one film?
Thank you so much for your help with this.
Sincerely,
Bob Linscott

Is it possible to import the clips to my external
fire wire HD? Can I still work in iMovie while the
project lives on the ext firewire drive?
Should be fine. I've been editing 4 hours worth of footage down to about 50 minutes, on a project stored on a FireWire 800 drive. FireWire 400 (if that's what you're using) is half the speed, but should still be fine, I think.
So, create a new project, save it to your external drive, and then import your footage into the project.
Can anyone
tell me roughly how much memory is needed for larger
projects like this? (I expect the final project will
be 30-40 minutes).
If you mean hard drive space for the project, I think you're talking about 11 GB per hour: so, in short, a lot. I think you could import your footage, edit a bit, and empty your trash to free up space, but iMovie does seem to keep your originals fairly relentlessly, so I'm not entirely sure.
Watch out for extracting audio from clips too: I've been doing this in order to do cross-fades, but it increases the size of your movie. I ended up buying a second, bus-powered 80 GB external hard drive just to hold the iMovie project
Since the footage all comes from our European concert
tour, it easily divides into 3 separate sections -
would it be easier to create 3 different iMovie
projects? Is it possible to combine them in the end
to create one film?
This could well be a good idea. Once your projects gets over a certain length, you may experience the "herky jerky" pkayback issue (search for "herky jerky" on these forums), making editing difficult. So three separate projects might be easier.
To combine them all at the end, you'll want to export the 2nd and 3rd projects as full quality DV (Share > QuickTime > Compress Movie For: Full Quality), then import them (File > Import) into your first project, and add them to the timeline.

Can anybody recommend a UK based host for an iWeb site?

I need to know where to host my iweb site with the least technical difficulty.I have seen on ichat HomeExcellence which sounds ok buy it is US based.

24/7 tech support is a lot more important than location. I've been using Host Excellence for 7 years now and haven't found any reason to change.
Their associated service - IXWebhosting - offers really good value for those who only have one site but need the option fo another dedicated IP address. Their tech support has been really helpful to those to whom I have recommended this service as you will see here...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
Most tech support people don't seem to understand how iWeb creates sites and can be rather unhelpful.
One of the main advantages of the above mentioned services is the fact that they allow you to create a root folder with the same name as your site in iWeb. This goes a long way to helping you understand the concept of the root folder and the file/folder structure on the server.

In addition to specific devices your options are:-
Any Firewire DV output (6 pin to 6pin) Camcorder
Any Firewire Web cam
Any USB cam that has Mac drivers and this Utility http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/
The chances are that any USB cam is going to have Windows drivers (if you need them for a Intel)

Can anybody recommend an anti-virus for my macbook pro

Can anybody recommend an anti-virus for my macbook pro
I have started to get attachments to my fsmail account from known sites but when opened I'm greeted by a a sentence in French that has the words orange and virus in it. Unfortunately I cannot speak French so are unsure what it is. I believe that my email and possibly my computer has been attacked?
Any views recommendations would be most welcome.
Trevor

This forum is for questions about the Communities themselves. You'll usually be more likely to get a quick and helpful answer if you post in the forum dedicated for your product. Anyway, my standard antivirus spiel:
At this time there have been no confirmed Mac OS X viruses (subject to the semantic debate about whether the old iChat exploit, now long since blocked, was properly classified as a virus or a trojan horse, and not counting the Word macro virus that can affect Office v.X or non-updated copies of Office 2004), very few trojans and no adware or spyware. I therefore do not feel that antivirus or antispyware software is necessary at this time as long as users are careful about what they download from the Internet or accept as attachments via email.
The most common exploit is a recent outbreak of "scareware" that people are encountering while web surfing. This "scareware" pops up and claims that your system is infected with viruses, prompts you to download their "scanner", then tells you that you need to purchase their paid software to remove them. These fake applications, appearing by many names including Mac Defender, Apple Security Center, Apple Web Security, and many others, do nothing at all other than turn off the fake warnings once they have your money. DO NOT fall for these.
Security precautions for Mac OS X mostly are common sense: don't download and run files from sites you don't know, don't fall for any "you have viruses" messages, don't double-click on attachments in emails you aren't expecting and/or from people you don't know, and make sure you password your system with a non-trivial password and keep that password secure. In addition, don't leave your system available in a public place and unattended where someone unauthorized could use it and potentially install malware (such a policy is also a precaution against theft).
It is possible for a Mac user to inadvertently forward a Windows virus to a PC user though you'd have to do it manually so the above precautions would probably prevent such virus-spreading, and said Windows virus cannot infect the Mac.
If you do decide you wish to run antivirus software, I think that the donationware clamXav should be more than enough. iAntivirus has also been recommended by others, though I have no personal experience with it.
If you are running Windows on your system, either via BootCamp, Parallels Workstation or another solution, then that copy of Windows is subject to all the myriad exploits common to the Windows world, so you need to take full precautions, including running both antivirus and antispyware software.
Regards.

Can anybody recommend any useful performance and tuning books.
I should probably limit my search to 11g or higher.

Hi,
I will review your review.
I do see this Oracle 12c book at Amazon written over a year ago.
Its not a certificaiton book.
I also did take the course at Oracle for 11g performance and tuning.
