If you're asking about Live Capture, where you record the camera feed direct to hard disk, then you need a Firewire interface or one of the (few) supported HDMI/SDI cards such as the AJA Kona, Matrox MX02 or BlackMagic Intensity Pro - however those have very specific motherboard requirements so you need to research them carefully before buying anything.
For an intro to Live Capture I suggest you read the manual: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Capturing and digitizing footage

Hi Joe,
Thanks for the reply!!
As per your instructions i created two classes 1.GetConnection.java and 2.PictureBean.java
in GetConnection.java i written following code
package Picture;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import oracle.adfmf.framework.api.AdfmfJavaUtilities;
public class GetConncetion {
public GetConncetion() {
super();
protected static Connection conn = null;
public static Connection getConnection() throws Exception {
if (conn == null) {
try {
// create a database connection
String Dir = AdfmfJavaUtilities.getDirectoryPathRoot(AdfmfJavaUtilities.ApplicationDirectory);
String connStr = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@fusion.networks.com:1521:fusion"+Dir+"/DeviceDemo.db" ;
conn = new SQLite.JDBCDataSource(connStr).getConnection();
System.out.println("connection*******"+conn);
} catch (SQLException e) {
// if the error message is "out of memory",
// it probably means no database file is found
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
return conn;
and in PictureBean.java the following code i modified..

Capture picture From camera

Hi....I want to capture the picture into a Blob column.I have a PC and a camera.What should I do.

Hi,
There are a number of different ways to do this, and how you make the choice will depend on your application requirements.
If this is a 'once-only' requirement, and the database is on the same machine you're using to download the images from the camera, then you could save the image files on a local hard drive, create a database directory (SQL> CREATE DIRECTORY...), then load the images from the disk into BLOBs using the DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE procedure.
For more information on LOBs, see Oracle Application Developer's Guide - Large Objects (LOBs), Oracle SQL Reference, and Oracle Supplied PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference.
If you need to repeat this this many times, with lots of images each time, then you might want to consider SQL*Loader. See the SQL*Loader documentation for more information on how to use SQL*Loader to load BLOBs.
If you want lots of user's to be able to do this from different PCs, or if the database is on a different machine than the PC with the photos, then you might want to consider writing a Java JDBC application or a web application to do this. Of course, the advantage of a web application is that it can be accessed using a browser from any system, whereas a Java app would have to be copied to each PC.
There's a feature called interMedia that ships with Oracle8i and Oracle9i that includes database object types with support for images (and audio and video). The interMedia ORDSYS.ORDImage type allows you to extract properties from images, and process images, for example, to create thumbnail images, and so on. There are two photo album demos that illustrate how to upload, process, and retrieve images stored using the interMedia ORDImage type: the interMedia Photo Album demo Servlet/JSPs demo and the interMedia Photo Album Demo for the PL/SQL Gateway. These demos are included with the Oracle9i database kit, and can be downloaded for Oracle8i from the interMedia samples page on OTN (Java Servlets/JSPs demo[url and [url=http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/intermedia/htdocs/imedia_plsqlgw_sample/imedia_plsqlgw_readme.htm]PL/SQL Gateway demo[url)]. You could easily adapt these examples to use simple BLOBs instead of the ORDImage type, although you wouldn't be able to process the images (unless you used the interMedia relational API). For more information about interMedia, see the [url=http://otn.oracle.com/products/intermedia/]interMedia page on OTN.
Hope that helps.

How do you capture a still picture from DVD

How do you capture a still picture from a DVD

Click iMovie/About. If you have version 9.0.4 (iMovie 11) this will work. If you have an earlier version, this will also work, but there are also other ways.
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

Capturing still pictures from a digital camcorder

I use a Canon mini DV digital camcorder and want to capture some still pictures from the movies to place in a book I am doing in IPHOTO....is this possible?

If your canon mini dv camcorder is anything like mine then keep in mind that while shooting you have the option of taking great hi res images as well as continuous high quality video. You just have to make the extra effort to push the photo button if you happen to see a great shot. You can capture the image to an SD card most likely or to tape (I prefer SD Cards for still images).
Or as stated above already you can make your own still from the actual video footage (altho usually at a lower resolution).

Photo Stream does not do videos. For videos, you must import to your computer. You can use iPhoto to import them.

Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

The short answer is yes.
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
Open Image Capture application.
Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

When trying to upload pictures from my camera I get this message although I have uploaded from the same camera in the pastiPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.

Can you access the images with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) ?

Importing pictures from Iphone 3gs to the Imac (using Iphoto?)

I recently bought an Imac 27". Everything is set up and updated and now I want to import the 2,500 photos I have on my iphone on to my mac. But Im having problems.
The Iphone synchronizes with Itunes fine. But under "pictures" If I check the box "synchronize pictures from Iphoto" (Maybe I shouldnt do this but I though I needed to to get the pictures from my Iphone to Iphoto" it gives me the message "Are you sure you want to synchronize pictures? all the pictures and albums on your Iphone will be replaced with pictures and albums from the current picturegallery"(roughly transelated)
I didnt do this since as I understand it this will cause me to loose all my 2,500 pictures I have on the Iphone.
When I open Iphoto it doesnt detect the Iphone at all.. No Iphone in the left menu at all. Image capture doesnt detect the Iphone either.
*So what can I do to get the pictures from my iphone on to my mac?*
The pictures in the camera roll are
1. Pictures taken with the Iphone
2. Pictures taken with another persons Iphone and that got sent to me
3. Pictures taken with another persons mobile(not an Iphone( and that got sent to me
4.Pictures saved from the net from safari browser
5. Pictures edited in Iphone apps and saved from the apps they where edited in.
if that info helps at all.. Im very confused now and I hopesomeone can help me out here. I though Iphone and Imac where supposed to be easy..

English is not my mother tongue but I will try to answer this the best I can from what I have understood..
The Iphone has synchronized with my pc previously and the apps I had on my Iphone then went to the Itunes I used on that computer.
I got the Imac yesterday and did synchronize the Iphone with the Itunes on the Imac wich caused me to loose over half of my applications and the one album I had on the Iphone. I have checked the boxes on everything so that Itunes synchronizes everything with the Iphone now, I guess this has nothing to do with backup but I thought I had to check the boxes for it to backup all of the things I want backup of.
When I open the adressbook program on the mac I can see my contacts there so I guess the backup is there then...
I dont really understand the Itunes content question.. I have no Itunes content no more except for the apps. I only had one album before wich was lost when I synchronized with the Imac.
The thing you talked about not syncing with an empty adressbook. you mean like after I have reset my Iphone so its blank I have to make a dummy contant before I connect it to the Imac and synchronizes the contacts? and choose merge instead of replace?
how do I actually format and reset the whole Iphone back to fabric condition? and after I have done that and connected it to the Itunes should I uncheck everybox in the sync options except contacts and then sync the Iphone?
After that I would assume I should delete the backup I have on Itunes from before I reset the Iphone so that all the pictures wont get put back in my Iphone?

Transfer of Pictures from PC to MacBook Pro

Two questions. I recently bought a MacBook Pro and successfully transferred pictures from our PC. Although photographs in IPhoto retain the dates on which they were originally taken, those in Pictures only have the date on which they were transferred, ie 'created', entirely unhelpful. How do I access the original date on which the photographs were taken, not available under Info?
Second question, more complicated, duplication of photographs in IPhoto and Pictures: is there a simple way of merging them? We used to download pictures from IPhone onto our PC under date folders, without realising they were being duplicated. Identifical pictures appear in about 6 different folders - how I can I edit them without having to do so manually?
Any help (not too technical) gratefully received.

There is more than one date that can be associated with an image, and I think you're running into different programs displaying different dates. This is not a comprehensive list but:
Capture date: Date and time the photo was recorded by the camera clock, stored in EXIF camera data.
Created date: Date and time the photo was first saved to disk by photo software on a computer
Modified date: Date and time the edited photo was last saved to disk by photo software on a computer
Archived date: I'm not really sure but I see this in detailed photo information too.
Furthermore, these dates can be stored in various additional date fields in other IPTC metadata sections, and various software might not write or read them in the same ways as other software.
But what I think is going on in your case is that the iPhoto Info panel is displaying the Capture Date from the camera recorded EXIF data, but what you see in the Finder are the Created and Modified dates.
If I'm right, then LexSchellings' column suggestion may not work because all you would get is the File Created date, not the camera recorded Capture Date. I do not know of a way to display camera EXIF capture date in the Finder. Generally, organizing photos using that data is done using a photo management app like iPhoto, Picasa, Apple Aperture, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Bridge, Media Pro, etc., not on the desktop.
If you were able to view the Capture Date in Windows Explorer, then that's an advantage that Windows Explorer (the desktop) had over the Finder. I've seen other cases where the Finder couldn't do something Windows Explorer could, so I wouldn't be surprised.
As far as the duplicates, I don't really know but I did a search at macupdate.com and you might want to check some of these utilities that can help resolve duplicates.
MacUpdate search on "duplicate photo"
macupdate.com is a great place to look for Mac software if you didn't find it in the Mac App Store.
