Digital 8 to HD

I'm ready to step up from digital to Hi Def. I've done a lot of camcorder research and came across the Sony HDR-SR12 with 120GB hard disc drive. The features come close to my Sony DCR- TRV340 and DCR-TRV525 DIGITAL HIGH 8. I will keep these older models as back up. They still work fine.
Has anyone had experience with this new Sony model? Will there be any problem with importing to imovie HD6?
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the links, Forest. Your right, of course, I didn't do a thorough research on the theoretical aspects of HD vs. Digital 8. I assumed like many others that manufacturers take into account past formats. Dave Babsky has enlightened me on this subject. However he did make the following reference concerning the Sony HDR-SR12
"AVCHD can, theoretically - as 'AVC', without the 'HD' - be used for recording in standard-def, but there are currently few AVCHD camcorders which are built to record standard-def video as well ..there is the Sony HDR-SR12. But only iMovie running on an Intel-powered Mac will decode AVCHD, apart from separate standalone Mac software such as 'Voltaic".
One of the features of the SR12 is recording in std. def. This was the reason I settled on the SR12. My tape machines won't last forever. They're already 7 years old. Am I thinking this wrongly? I must admit I'm ignorant when it comes to theory. I'm more into the shooting and editing.
I do have the Intel Mac and the price of the camera is not out of reach. I dread having to learn imovie 08.
I have Final Cut Express but haven't had a chance to get into it yet. Busy with other projects. Will that help?
Thanks

  • Is there a work-around to enable Digital Photo Pro on the Microsoft Surface Pro ????

    Is there a way to use Digital Photo Pro on the Microsoft Surface Pro?
    As I understand the problem  DPP is unable detect the screen resolution of the tablet ( the defauilt res of the tablet
    is 1920 x1080) with a minimum of 1024 x768.
    It would be usful if one could type in your working screen res into at startup if that's the only problem

    Are there any other ideas out there???
    Thanks  artB

    Canon DPP is Canon provided application for desktop/laptop computers and they don't have a version for any tablets as far as I'm aware (not even iOS or Android versions).
    But there are other photo editing programs that would work.  I have an iPad.  While Apple has their own photo software (which isn't going to work on a Windows tablet) Adobe has an app called PS Touch.  
    PS Touch isn't nearly as full featured as Photoshop.  It limits the image resolution (it resizes any images that you import to it so they don't exceed the max resolution) but it does have most of the commonly used adjustments.  So if a person were just trying to get something out, it works in a pinch.
    One other catch is that PS Touch can't deal with RAW images... so it's JPEG only.  But I can import JPEGs off the card into the iPad and then edit them -- not as well as I can if they're on a regular computer, but this is what I'ved when I'm away for a weekend with my camera.

  • Preview of loops has effect on it (digital delay)??

    Previewing my drum loops (all music loops actually) ... I'm picking up digital delay. Where is it coming from?
    When I drag the loop to the arrange window the effect is still there ... even though there is no effect assigned to that particular audio track.
    I'm just getting up to speed on this Logic update. So I'm at a loss. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.
    Ben

    Aha!!
    This is only happening when I am using the beat mapping. I have a piece of audio I've 'beat-mapped'. Now I want to add a loop to it. But the loop previews, and the loops when I add them to the audio track, have some weird digital delay effect on them.
    This isn't happening if I'm NOT doing a beat map. Everything is normal.

  • Re: Satellite L - How to connect my digital video cam?

    I have a Canon digital video camera (bought in 2004). I have been using it to transfer movies onto my other Toshiba laptop, but there is no place to plug in on my new laptop. I did use a iEEE1394 but it doesn't work on this one.
    What alternative is there?
    Also on turning on the laptop I get a message saying TOSHIBA SERVICE STATION NOT WORKING and proceeds to solve it but nothing happens.
    Any suggestions pls.

    Hey,
    What notebook model you have it exactly? Some notebooks dont have firewire port but if your camera has USB port can use this port. As far as I know all notebooks have USB port
    > Also on turning on the laptop I get a message saying TOSHIBA SERVICE STATION NOT WORKING and proceeds to solve it but nothing happens.
    You should try to reinstall Service Station, I think this should work. Just download the newest version of Toshiba service station on official Toshiba website and install it:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
    But dont forget to remove the old version first before you install the newest one. ;)

  • How can I display & split the audio & video from the same digitized clip?

    I digitized a scene into iMovie that I edited on a professional system which I don't have access to anymore. The whole scene is 1 clip. Now I see a few tweaks that I want to make, so I was hoping to do them in iMovie.
    I want to "pull up" the audio in one section - meaning I want to take cut about 20 frames of audio from the end of a shot, and then move all the other audio up to fill the hole. To compensate for the missing 20 frames, I'll cut video off the head of the next shot. Some call this prelapping. Some call it an L-cut. Some call it asymmetrical trimming. Either way, I can't figure out how to do it in iMovie.
    My clip appears in the timeline as one track - a single track that contains the video and 2 audio tracks. How can I display the audio that's tied to the video on its own track? Then I think I could split audio & video wherever I wanted and trim things up - but I can't figure out how to do it.
    Am I asking too much of this software?
    BTW, I never see the option to "Split audio clip at playhead". I'm not displaying clip volume or waveforms. Choosing to display waveforms doesn't show me anything. Maybe iMovie thinks I'd only want to see waveforms of audio that isn't tied to my video-and-audio clips?
    Thanks in advance for any help...

    Jordon,
    "Am I asking too much of this software?"
    No, you're not.
    You first want to select your clip(s) and choose Advanced>Extract Audio.
    This will copy the audio from the video clip and place it on one of the two separate audio tracks while lowering the audio level to zero in the original video track.
    You can now edit and move the audio independently of the video.
    With the audio clip selected, you'll find you now have access to Edit>Split Selected Audio Clip at Playhead.

  • On a PC with separate logins, do I need a separate Digital IDs?

    I recently updated the Digital Edition to 2.0.  My wife and I share our home PC with each having our own log in.  I can download and open books on my Kobo.  But, my wife has a problem opening a downloaded book on her Nook.  She gets an ERROR DIALOG on the Nook User not activated. We did not have this problem with the older Digital Edition.  When I look at her Digital Edition "HELP", I cannot view the Digital ID but I can when I look at my Digital Edition.  Does she have separately download a Digital Edition? It worked before?

    ADE 2.0 has problems with some ereaders (and with lots of other things).
    I suggest you revert to the older and more reliable previous version.
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • If e-mail is moderately long if I delete a letter or digit the cursor disappears, have to recover it, all deleted letters or digits appear at end of e-mail

    If I type a moderately long e-mail (I haven't counted the letters/digits to determine how long), then suddenly letters won't appear. If make a typing errors, and backspace over or delete the error/s, the cursor will disappear. It's not anywhere in the body of the e-mail (or anywhere else I've noticed). I can get it to reappear by highlighting every word in the e-mail, then undoing that.
    All the letters/digits I've deleted reappear at the end of the e-mail--but only in the e-mail received (by the recipient). If I save the e-mail as a draft, when I look at the draft, the I'll see the deleted letters/symbols at the end of the e-mail. If I click on edit, they disappear. But recipients see all of them, regardless of whether I edit the e-mail or not.
    The last time I asked this "question", I was told to update. That was probably 5 updates ago. There has been no change.
    I don't know if the problem persists in safe mode because I have forgotten to switch into safe mode every time I use TB. Sometimes I remember to run TB in safe mode but don't have reason to type a long e-mail.
    I'm really tired of this problem.
    OS is win 7 pro w/service pack 1.

    May I ask why? Have you learned that that specific problem is solved in a pre-release version? So far I've upgraded once on your advice, now I've upgraded again to 31. Problem's still there. Unless I'm told that the problem's been solved for sure in a latter version, I'm not going to upgrade because sometimes the upgrades bring problems w/them for a low tech user. I don't want to chat, etc., I just want to be able to send and receive e-mails.
    I'm still working with the security software people re: some continuing issues w/FF.
    I'd like to spend more time doing my work, or communicating w/friends, not dealing w/software problems.
    Is there anyway of my finding out what, if any update, includes whatever is needed to solve my specific problem? I use Win7 Pro, SP1, 3.40 Gz processor, 3.19 Gb usable RAM, 64 bit OS. I don't know what other information is needed.

  • IPod Touch Recognized as a Digital Camera in Windows 7 (x64) - SOLUTION!

    Hi guys
    After several days I finally found the solution to this with some help from Apple 2nd level support.
    Symptom: iPod Touch is not connecting to iTunes. Under My Computer you find the iPod as a Portable Device > Digital Camera
    Cause: Windows 7 wasn't able to install the right Driver for your Touch.
    Solution:
    1. Uninstall all the Apple software via Control Panel:
    - iTunes
    - Quicktime
    - Apple Software Update
    - Apple Mobile Device Support
    - Bonjour
    - Apple Application Support
    2. Delete all the directories related to Apple (Including Apple,iPod, iTunes, Quicktime and Apple Computer -if they are there-) under:
    - C:\Program File\Apple
    - c:\Program Files (x86)
    - C:\users\<USER>\AppData\Local
    - C:\users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming
    3. Restart
    4. Reinstall iTunes (Right click and run as Administrator) but THIS IS THE TRICK!! change the installation path to C:\program files\iTunes (Remove x86) !
    5. Connect ipod
    It will still be a Camera..don't worry..
    6. Go to My Computer > right click > Manage > Device Managers > Find your ipod under the Portable Devices
    7. Right Click > Update driver > Specific location and browse C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device support\Drivers
    8. After succesfully installed this driver you will be able to see your iPod Touch in iTunes
    Enjoy !

  • Solution to my Audigy 4 Digital Output probs... please make a stic

    I was recently playing Q3TA with my son when my overheat protection kicked in. I exited to windows to see the temp and throttle back my CPU a tad, and when I returned I had no sound from my digital output. Analog was working fine, however.
    Setup:
    Giga-byte GA-MA78GM-S2H w/780g chipset
    Athlon 64 X2 5000+ BE
    Integrated Realtek HD audio (disabled)
    Integrated ATI HD 3200
    2xGB 800MHZ DDR2
    Creative Audigy 4
    Boston acoustics Digital BA735 2. speakers
    I went over every setting in all of my consoles, HQ's and drivers. I played with driver versions, DirectX versions, diagnostic programs and procedures in the knowledge base. In defeat, I even wiped out my XP install and started fresh with the Aud-4 removed, using analog on the integrated card thru headphones. Then I disabled the integrated card and reinstalled the Audigy 4 only to find that there was still no sound from the digital speakers.
    Solution?
    I[color="#ff0000"] unplugged the power to my speakers, and reconnected everything. As soon as the power was back up, the sound started playing (I had a .MP3 on for testing).
    This stumped me for two reasons that occur to me know:
    . These speakers (and possibly many others) don't fully power down when you turn the volume knob off and the light on the satellites goes out. The decoder and subwoofer unit keep their light on.
    2. Apparently, some situations introduce a faulty signal to the digital output that scrambles the speaker units and they refuse to operate any longer.
    Now I know, unplug the power to my speakers. My system works on all three sampling frequencies in "audio console" 44., 48, and 96KHz. None of the troubleshooting procedures touched my problem, because they didn't even mention the speaker setup, let alone doing a hard reset.
    Please please please!
    Make this a sticky for future me!!!

    The Digital output jack on the card isn't of optical signal type.....you will need to get those I/O module mention bt johnston2 for optical connection.

    I had a 640GB HDD in my Early 2008 Macbook and it was just too much it would always freeze up the computer a bit for only a few seconds but ya. Then I realized that it was the size of the HDD that was causing it since the Early 2008 Macbook models can only handle a MAX od 500GB while the Early 2008 Macbook Pros could have a MAX of 640GB (Lucked out there!) lol But ya the Early 2008 Mocbooks can only handle a MAX HDD size of 500GB and that's it!! lol

  • Update on 10.6.8 fails due to digital signature on update is missing

    wanting to install the Parallels version 10 and it won't work on 10.6.8 version of my Mac OS so I learned how to go to the software update which indicates an update is available. When I go ahead and load the update it runs fine and then stops with a message that the Macbook Pro EFI Firmware Update can't be saved. It says the digital signature on the update is missing or invalid.
    I don't know if the digital signature is on my computer or the update? I would upgrade to a more recent version of the OS but don't know what will work.
    Can anyone help?

    Parallels 10 isn't compatible with 10.6 according to the web site.
    Mac Requirements
    Hardware:
    A Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor (Core Solo and Core Duo processors are no longer supported)
    Minimum 2 GB of memory (4 GB of memory is recommended to run Windows 7 in a virtual machine or if your host OS is Lion)
    About 850 MB of disk space on the boot volume (Macintosh HD) for Parallels Desktop installation
    About 15 GB of disk space for each virtual machine
    Software:
    OS X Yosemite 10.10 or later
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 or later
    Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 or later
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.      
    Application Compatibility
    Applications Compatibility (2)
    Do a backup before installing. 
    If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again.  You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.

  • Making Multiple Digital Signatures Read-only in Form (Acrobat 9)

    I have created a form which includes two (2) digital signature fields.  What needs to occur with the form is Person1 fills the form and then digitally signs it thereby making the form fields read-only .  Person2 then digitally signs the form which should make Person1's digital signature read-only.
    Here's what I've done:
    1) For the Person1 digital signature field, in Digital Signature Properties, under the Signed tab, I have selected Mark as read-only <all fields except these> and selected the Person2 digital signature field.
    2) For the Person2 digital signature field, in Digital Signature Properties, under the Signed tab, I have selected Mark as read-only <all fields> since once Person2 signs the form I do not want Person1 to be able to clear the digital signature and make changes to the form.
    Here's what actually occurs:
    Step 1 above works fine.  Once the signature is applied all the form fields are read-only except for the Person2 digital signature field.
    The problem is that after Person2 digitally signs the form, even though I selected all fields as read-only, Person1 can 'clear' their signature which leaves all the form fields available for editing and leaves Person2's digital signature still on the form.
    I honestly don't care about 'validating' signatures on this form since it's going to be printed but I cannot allow Person2's signature to remain on the form and allow Person1 to edit the form.
