Hardware, software or me?

I'm making a movie condensing 40 minutes of video into 10 with lots of transitions, audio extracts etc. Early in the project all went well but now, I'm having difficulty editing because the video (but not audio) "sticks" and then jumps frames. I have purchased 1Gig RAM, used Cache Out X, repaired both permissions and hard drive, copied project to newly purchased 250G hard drive. Today I was told that the problem is my computer (eMac 1GHz G4, 32MB VRAM), not the program - I was wondering if FCX might work better. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Your 1GHz eMac is no speed deamon but it should handle iMovie OK.
You might run into stutter if there are a lot of overlapping audio files in the movie. One workaround for such complex projects would be to flatten them by exporting as Full Quality DV and import it back. Then it would demand so much CPU/HD resources to play it.
Also take care that there are no unnecessary apps running in the background doing things (check email etc). You might also try to disconnect any unnecessary peripherals (HDs, AirPort, network etc).
As a last resort you could install Mac OS X on a test partition on the FW disk and see whether it suffers the same hiccups.
FWIW I ran iMovie 1.0.2 on my low-end PowerMac 8600 with its stock 604e CPU just fine. It was iMovie 2.1.1 and later that started to stutter with that setup. iMovie 3-5 are even more bloated while iMovie 2's GUI is very snappy and responsive. I don't know whether FCX might be better tuned than iMovie HD.

Downloading Hardware & Software After Installing Microsoft 7

Hello! A virus attacked my OS, so I wiped the old one (Microsoft 7 Home Premium) and installed Microsoft 7 Ultimate (64-Bit). After this, I had no drivers, hardware, software, nothing for the wireless connection, it's all gone. If possible I'd like to find and download all of these things instead of paying for a recovery disc. I have hardware errors for the following things: Ethernet Controller Network Controller PCI Simple Communications Controller SM Bus Controller and two Unknown Devices (one located in Port_#0003.Hub_0004 and one on PCI bus) I checked to make sure the BIOS are current and downloaded and installed the most recent system and UEFI updates. I don't know what I need and don't need from the Software & Drivers Download Page or if I need more than is offered there. Please help. I tried to provide as much info as possible, but let me know if you need anything else. Thank you!

<James, I would be happy to discuss this with you but I am on vacation with my wife this week. Yes, feel free to call me any time. I would very much like to talk with you sometime. >I can tell you that the Intel Quad Core chips work great. Thrown in two of them and 4GB RAM and your system will fly. But one will do the trick pretty well. Yes, I bet it would fly with 2 Quad Cores. My TD says he has a good deal on a quad processor for something like $350, but I have no idea if this is a good deal. I also have no idea whether a quad will work in my motherboard, the D955XBK. I spent some time at Intel's site last night and it seems this bd will not handle a Quad, so this would probably mean I will have to dump my motherbd in order to get into a Quad. Intel has all these looney names for their processors -- CORE 2 DUO, CORE 2 QUAD, CORE 2 EXTREME, XEON -- one hardly knows what's what. James All of the surrent chips are good enough to handle Adobe products.

Can anybody recommend any hardware/software to transfer vhs to dvd's?

Get an Elgato Video capture.
http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/Video-Capture/product1.en.html
Simple to use and works well.
Once you have all your VHS tapes on your iMac, you can edit them with iMovie and iDVD to burn them.
You can also use VisualHub to directly convert and burn to DVD

What is my best hardware/software to convert vhs to digital so I can edit in Final Cut Pro X

What is my best hardware/software to convert vhs to digital so I can edit in Final Cut Pro X? Wondering if there is a solution under 100.00 or do I need to think a bit more. Thank you.

Have been doing this for some time, my setup:
I use an ancient "Symphonic" VCR player connected to an Elgato Eyetv Hybrid USB dongle. That plugs into my G5 Mac, 10.5.8, which runs Eyetv software v. 2.5.3.
Recording is dead simple after fiddling around a bit with software settings for channel, etc. Start the player, hit "record" on the software and wait for the end.
The recording is saved in some obscure ".eyetv" format with file size about 4 GB per hour of recording. The software has export to a variety of formats including QT Movie which results in a substantially larger file size.
Quality? Well, it's viewable and usable for archive purposes. I'm fine with it but more discriminating folks may want something better. I end up burning the video on a DVD using iDVD and that's not the greatest anyway.
There are various Elgato units available, and the Eyetv Hybrid seems to run bout $130.
Hope that helps.

Codec/ hardware/software for jumbo-frame size video playback on desktop?

Hello all,
I am looking for a codec that I can render to from AE and FCP, and can preview 1/2 or 3/4 scaled and actual scle (partial) on my 30" mac desktop.
ideal size: 3840x2160 (16:9) 25 fps 604 MB/sec CODEC for desktop PB
the AJA whack test on Dulce RX shows (720MB/sec.)easily enough disk throughput to handle 604MB/sec,
but apple uncompressed 10 bit 4:2:2 won't play more than 5sec.
my problem is not editing and rendering of which I will do a variety of methods, but rather
?????what uncompressed codec etc. to render TO????....how to see it,
1/2 or 3/4 scale or actual scale (partial)
on my 30" desktop
so I can check composition...before we finnally have it chopped up for seperate projectors or in the very fancy installation projection system
or to identify the hardware/software bottle necks to playing such a frame size on my desktop.
thanks,
Hilary

Wow, you are definitely on the bleeding edge, Hilary, trying to produce quad-HDTV on a Mac. One thing you might want to try, if you haven't already, is to post your questions at the AVScience forum. I think you will find a more focused audience there.
I don't really have answers for you, but I do have more questions and possibly some things to think about. First question; is the source material really quad-HDTV or is it lower res, like normal HDTV, and the plan is to show it through four, 1080p projectors onto a video wall? The reason I ask is, if the source material is lower res, then it seems pointless to try and encode it as quad-HD. You could just encode as HD (1080p) and then chop it up into four 960 x 540 chunks and project that.
You mention that you have encoded Apple uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 but that the file will only play for five seconds. What happens after that? Does it get choppy or does it just altogether stop playing? The answer may hold clues as to what the problem is.
What will the be the final platform for playing this video through the four projectors? Will it be the same G5 PowerMac that you are producing on or is the playback system based on different hardware? That could influence the encoding choice.
It seems the most ideal development system for what you are trying to do would not be on a 30" monitor but instead on four 23" Cinema Displays connected to two graphics boards installed in your G5. Then you could be working at full scale aross all the monitors and you wouldn't have to worry about 1/2 scale or 3/4 scale or partial full scale viewing.
It sounds like you have verified there to be adequate throughput off the disk to play the file at 25 fps but it's hard to imagine that a ~0.6 GBytes per second data stream isn't going to bottleneck somewhere on the G5. That's like 10x the data rate of FW800 if I am reading your post correctly. Maybe you meant 604 Mbps? That's just inside the (theoretical) envelope of FW800, but still a lot of data to be streaming real time without interruption. But where is the pinch point? That is the question. I'm guessing that it is disk related inspite of what the AJA whack test says. Are you using a raid by any chance? That should improve the AJA score and make for more headroom, especially if run off a SATA card.
Personally, I rarely use anything more powerful than Apple's Activity Monitor as a system monitoring tool. But I doubt that it has enough diagnostic power for this application. If you are running Leopard, DTrace might be helpful, but I have no experience with it personally. Just trying to find the bottleneck could turn into a whole project of its own. Again I refer you to the AVScience forum as a possible shortcut to the answers you seek. Good luck with your project.

PC suite hardware / software not recognised

Hi,
Any help on the following would be gr8...
Running PC Suite and Bluetooth, to an N70. Works AOK for Internet connection using One Touch Access this confirms that Bluetooth works!
But when I try and connect the N70 using Bluetooth the software rejects this with:-
"cannot use this connection type, Check that all the needed hardware, software and drivers are available"
But the above suggests it is all aok! - I have the latest ver of PC Suite and loaded the latest Windows Bluetooth stack! etc etc ...????
Any ideas would be good :-) Thanks SR

Doesn't seem to be the same problem as I am experiencing! this thread is about cable issues and the problems of attaching the device. The problem I have is specific to Bluetooth and with the specufued error from the PC Suite software (that does not appear in the thread you suggested).
I did a search for the exact wording (and in part) but no hits, so I posted a thread specific to this problem. Also, if these problems are known to exsist, why hasent Nokia sorted a more convienient patch / remedy to help less technically able people, I have a small amount of PC knowledge, but do not think the average Mobile phone / PC user really knows enough to edit the registry to fix a problem! or indeed to go through several pages of dialogue to assertain which comment / instruction will fix the problem. The risk of adding more problems will certainly put some users off!
Please advise if you can assist on this problem specifically or not.
Thanks SR

Wireless Client Hardware/Software requirements

We are building a new wireless network full of the 3500 series LWAP. Along with this new wireless network, my boss wants me to provide her with minimum hardware/software specifications for all new wireless clients purchased. I know the basic stuff such as 802.11n dual band, etc... I was wondering if anyone had a good list of detailed requirements that would provide me with a best case connection for my wireless clients on the new network that they would share with me.
Thanks for any Help
In a nut shell, i need to make sure the wireless clients we purcahse for our new network can take full advantage of our wireless network. i want to make sure i'm educated on more details besides the basic requirements of 802.11n dual band specification. There must be more detailed technical requiremetns i need to be aware of so I can be sure i don't end up with a bunch of flaky half working wireless clients.

thanks for you help. I got the following infomration from sales team
at Cisco. They say it should be sufficient requirements of any proposed wireless clients:
o   Provide options to control roaming between wireless access points.
o   Dual-band support
o   AES support
o   802.1x supplicant support
o   CCX (Information can be found at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/pr46/pr147/partners_pgm_partners_0900aecd800a7907.html)
