Dv cam suggestions for use w/Rode video mic...

A friend ordered a Panasonic PV-GS500 from J&R which was delivered DOA. He sent it back and was then told they had none to replace it as it was discontinued.
He needs a decent consumer DV cam ( up to or around a 1K ) with a hot shoe attachment to use in conjunction with the Rode video mic to record solo music performances.
Suggestion...?
Thanks

Nike + for use with Ipod Video

can i use the nike + with my ipod video. i already have the nike 180 for use with the chip. i bought them because they were great runing shoes and just found out i could put the chip in them for $35. i have a video but not a nano aand i would really like to use the chip to track my progress. buying a nano would cost 200+ and i was just wondering if i can use it with my video. thanks

I'm sorry, but this doesn't make any sense. There are products made to run with iPod videos
It is what it is.
The Nike+iPod product is for the Nano only. Doesn't matter why.
If you know of other products that do the same thing as the Nike+iPod product, and it works for the 5th Gen iPod... then go buy one of those.
Then you go on to say that Apple isn't promoting the use of iPod video
That's not exactly what was said. The user who posted that indicated that Apple is only promoting the use of the Nike+iPod in conjuntion with the Nano.
Well, obviously, there isn't any harm for people to excersise with this product if there are accessories for that purpose.
Doesn't change the fact that the Nike+iPod product is for the Nano only.
If you have a suggestion for Apple, and would like to see the Nike+ product work with other iPods, then you can submit feedback to Apple here:

Suggestions for use of EQ Cymbols, hi-hats, shakers PLEASE

One consistent mistake I'm making in my my mixes is trying to achieve a balance between "bright enough" sound at the high end (pianos, Cymbols - hi-hats - shakers, etc). It seems if you don't add EQ and sometimes compression to these tracks at all you can barely hear them and I hate that muffled sound. Then, however, at the back end of my projects, I'm constantly faced with having to elliminate clipping or distortion with these instruments. Please share some techniques without getting to technical if possible. I know this is a subjective call.
But For Example, maybe someone migght suggest for EQ on hi-hats on Frequency Gain/Slope:
99.0Hz, +8.0dB 1.10Q
500Hz, +0.0dB 0.71Q
1080Hz, +2.0dB, 0.71Q
7000Hz, +12.0dB, 0.6Q
I also could use help knowing where to set the volume for individual tracks at the BEGINNING of the project. That's the other problem - setting my individual track volumes too high then having to "dig them out" of the mix at the back end and not having enough volume "head room" to do it. - TOTAL REWORK.
Lastly, is it generally NOT a good idea to have "yellow" notes (val:80)?

Due to lack of assistance, we were unable to pursue this requirement - the users were not happy, but what can you do, huh!

Zoom h1 or Rode video mic on my Sony HDR-AS100V ???

So, sony as100v has a mic jack http://www.hireacamera.com/img/camcorders/specialist/as100vr/4large.png So i was wondering If i plug an external mic such as Zoom h1 or Rode Shotgun video Mic, are the videos going to be processed with the external mic sound ? I want to record with the full hd pro mode 50fps with the audio from the zoom h1, is that possible having a microsdxc 64gb class 10 30mb/s?

A point on the external mic (I've yet to buy one specifically for use outdoors myself) is that "apparently" the camera will only record the right channel when you do this , so you want to get a mic "splitter", or copy the channels across in post-production.I'm going to reserve judgement on that assertion though, because I've not yet tried with any mics (I only have a slightly fussy sensitive desk-mic, so cannot use that to back up the no-stereo suspicion. I have made my own mic-cover that fits on the camera directly and that has worked just fine for getting rid of wind-noise. But I'm not moving very fast ever.Please post below if you want me to come back to this with some evidence

Suggestions for backing up captured video digitally

Hi all,
My church is using an Imac (2.4ghz/1gb ram) to capture video of our church sermons. We use a Panasonic GS-320 which runs through a WD MyBook 500 gb external HD then into the Imac. We capture in Imovie directly then let the video file sit. Our intent is to upload these videos to the net for later streaming and such. Our problem is that we have 13-15gb videos that just sit, and now both hardrives are full. We would like to render these huge files to something smaller for the purpose of archiving but have them at a resolution that is still editable and to also add in simple titles and such later on. Right now I'm rendering to .mov (mpeg 4) @ 720x480. Any suggestions?

Archiving a smaller file at full-resolution is a bit of a contradiction! Especially when you add that you may want to edit that file later. DV material is 13GB/hour is arguably already the lowest file size you want for archiving/editing later. Smaller files via different forms of compression are meant for delivery, not archiving and/or editing. With a mini-DV camera you have the best archiving option of all formats: the tape itself. You could even send an edited sequence back to tape. To date, tape has been the most robust and reliable solution for any type of archiving. Data tape back up systems are fairly expensive. After DV tape comes hard drive storage. I strongly recommend investigating a hard drive tower. I personally use a MacGurus (http://www.macgurus.com/productpages/firewire/burlyfwenclosure.php) but there are several manufacturers. The advantage to such a system is that as hard drives fill up, you just pop a new one in and store the "old" one. And buying bare bones drive will save money in the long run over always buying a new external drive. And hard drives are cheap/GB. Cheaper than other storage methods. And faster. And besides tape, the most reliable. From there is is a simple matter of cost analysis: if a sermon is one-hour then you could fit let's say 30 sermons on one 500GB drive. A 500GB is roughly $100. That is $3 and change/sermon.

Captivate - bitrate suggestions for rescaled project w video only capable of "custom settings" publishing

Hello all, it seems Captivate really limits your MP4-video publishing/encoding options when you've rescaled the project (e.g., 150% size so 'stage' can accommodate both powerpoint and video). I want to publish in MP4 video but Captivate blocks my attempts to use any of the 'preset' settings (e.g., iPad, youtube.., etc.). It will only allow me to publish with "custom settings" which means I need to select the target and maximum bitrates, which Captivate seems to have as 2 and 4, respectively, as defaults. (9 is the max available, btw). I can also choose if I want to republish each frame (or 'slide', can't remember which). I published the first time with the custom setting defaults (2 and 4) and also checked the box for republish each frame/slide. I just now played the resultant MP4 file saved on my computer and the results are really horrible -- continual stuttering and restarting of the audio and video (and a seeming improper synchronization with the powerpoint slides (somewhat different from the slide change points that I had selected and saved previously in the "edit video timing" option under "video". Again, this is just from playing it from my harddrive. I didn't even bother trying to stream it as the results would probably be even worse.
It almost seems as if Captivate can't even handle the basic task of producing a powerpoint presentation that has one long video spread out across the different slides, with the video sharing space on the (enlarged) stage.
Very grateful for any insights or suggestions!
Thanks

Suggestions for using .folios in a classroom

Hi all,
We would like to use Indesign to create interactive .folio files in a classroom atmosphere. My hope was that students can work on their files and export as a .folio and just pass them around to each other on for viewing/review/testing.
The free acrobat account will only allow for one Folio that is not down-loadable. In other words you must log on to your adobe account via the Adobe Content Viewer App each to view your Folio. My hope is that each student will be able to actually download the final app onto their hand-held and have it work like any other app.
Can anyone provide any good suggestions on how they would go about using these tools in a classroom of about 30 students without paying for the 5000 folio package (it looks like that is the smallest version that they have), as our budget is not anywhere near enough to cover that expense.
Thanks for any input.

The only free solution I can think of is to get each student to create their own unique Acrobat.com account. Then they can share their folios whith each other by using the Share dialogue box on the folio builder fly-out menu. Although you may have to invite each one into each workspace on Acrobat.com first though, I'm not sure.

AU filters, and some suggestions for use

I have just discovered the powerfull AU filters for the tracks, and would like some overall suggestions on their use. I have read on many forums and posts on what each one is, but my question is more on the line of when is enough enough, and can you degrade a file, like an image file, by too many filters?
Example one: Podcasts. Plain recording of vocal track with no efffect. After the recording, my thought is too apply the AUlowpass to take out the highend and clean up the sound. Then, maybe the AUMatrixReverb to fill it out.
Then, on the MasterTrack, apply the AUMultiband Compressor to balance the output. Is this something that would be ok?
Example two: Vocal recording project. Apply AUfilter to the backing instramental track to make it the way you want...
Record vocals again plain, vanilla, no effects. After the recording, add AUlowpass if needed, maybe AUGraphicEQ to shape the vocals, then do the MasterTrack effect as above.
I guess I would just like some more suggestions from people in the know on some use of the AU filters and how to do it best.
Thanks,
Cory

First, yes, you can degrade output, because a filter (by definition) changes the signal. However, if you use them carefully, they will enhance the sound. You don't have to worry about signal processing artefacts of too many filters in a row, since the design of the AU filters seems to be quite good. But in the end, your ears have to be the judge: why should you worry about degradation if you like the result?
About the low pass filter: normally, parametric EQ is used to cut specific frequency bands. E.g., if you have some trouble in the higher frequencies, it is unlikely you need to cut all of it, which is what a low pass filter does. This will make your mix sound dull. A parametric EQ can apply a much more precise and subtle edit, and at different places (most mixes also benefit from cutting the higher bass a little bit). EQ can also be used to boost. E.g., a slight increase around 12kHz can give some "air" to the mix.

HD monitor suggestion for use with Mac Mini.

Hello Group,
Can anyone suggest the best (or good, compatible) HD monitor to use with my new mac mini just purchased (late 2009 model). Can't afford the apple cinema's so I'm looking for a cheaper option to still have HD using HDMI inputs, looking to spend around $200-$300..also do I need to purchase an adapter of some kind?. Thanks so much for any suggestions!

Although I have no specifics, from various articles I have read
about the condition, a few things stand out.
What seems the most prevelant and makes a lot of sense is
to use a monitor that has a matte finish screen. Glossy screens
regardless how you tweek lighting and viewing positions will always
have some amount background reflection. It can be so low as to
not be conciously perceptible, but the eye is still detecting it and
is trying to correct for it and what is viewed on the screen.
On the subject of lighting, with the wider spread use of CFL
lights could be adding more people to the list with this problem.
The "cycle times" of these can conflict with display refresh times
causing the susceptable persons eyes to get confused. The old
incandescent bulbs had much less of this effect.
Screen refresh rate can also be an issue. With the iMacs and
the Thunderbolt displays as well, these are fixed and cannot be
tweeked, atleast not without third party intervention. With a
Mini and some other third party monitor, adjusting refresh rates
can help.
Environment in general is a major contributor as well.
So, resolving the issue may not be as simple as just getting
a different monitor, although matte screens seem to be a
major help.

Security camera App for use with FireWire Cam

I want to set up a kind of CCTV system using my FireWire camera. Picking up movement is quite a good feature, but setting it to record at a certain time would be better.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Need license for using H.264 Video codec for live stream with FMS 3.5 series

Hi,
I am creating a live audio-Video chat application in which I use H264 video codec for live streaming. I am using Flash Media Server version 3.5.7. I read some where that H.264 Video streaming using FMS required seperate licencse. So I want to confirm , It is true that H264 video streaming required seperate license? If yes then what is the procedure to get license.
Please let me know its urgent.
Regrads,

Hi Again,
Thanks for your reply.
Here are some articles/posts which says about Royalties to use h264:

http://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=65403&PageNum=3
http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/avc/Documents/AVC_TermsSummary.pdf
According to these, any product/service provider, need to pay one time fee based on # of subscribers if we are using h264 for encoding and is charging fee from its users.
About our business: We are web-conferencing solution tool provider and are using Flash Media Server version 3.5.7. I for audio/video. Please help me out if h264 is really free for us or we need to buy license to use that.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
