Help with High School Football Recruiting DVD

Hello,
I need help with making a DVD highlighting my son's High School Football plays.
I have 10 different DVD's (with 10 different High School Football games that he played in) and I would like to cut various snippets (segments) from each DVD that illustrate his great plays . . . and then put them together onto ONE DVD + add music and I want to add writing too.
I don't know where to begin.
Can anyone help guide me please ?

Need help with high school lab

Hey guys, I just got assigned this lab in my Java class today, and well, this is the first time i've ever been stuck in Java, and I figured i could turn to the Sun Community for help. The lab is to design a program that when a user enters a number, the program outputs a wedge of the stars, using that number as the starting line. So, in case i worded that horribly heres an example:
user enters number: 5
ouput:
and heres my code so far, I think im on track, but i have no clue where to go from here:
//import
import java.util.Scanner;
public class starLab
    public static void main(String []args)
    {//objects
    Scanner scan=new Scanner (System.in);
    int start;
    System.out.print("Enter the initial number of stars: ");
    start=scan.nextInt();
    while (start>1)
              int star=start;
                   while(star>=1)
                        {System.out.print("*");
                         star=star-1;
                        start=start-1;
}

That doesn't work either, it outputs a crazy amount of stars on one line...i entered 5, and outputed 15 stars on one line?
Ah im horribly confused, and yes it is an off by one issue, but I cant figure out how to get it to bump down lines and subtract one star...heres what ive got after modifications
public class starLab
    public static void main(String []args)
    {//objects
    Scanner scan=new Scanner (System.in);
    int start;
    System.out.print("Enter the initial number of stars: ");
    start=scan.nextInt();
    while (start>=1)
              int star=start;
                   while(star>=1)
                        {System.out.print("*");
                         star=star-1;
                        start=start-1;

Create a disc of high school football game

Hello,
I am a high school football coach. We just a new camera. It is a Panasonic HDC. I had my film guy film the Varsity game tonight and all I want to do is take the video from the camera and make it right into a DVD. I do not want to edit it or play with it or anything like that. I also want it to be really fast. I would love to get back to the office, plug it, and let it do its thing. Please help!! Thanks.

Welcome to the forums.
Creating a DVD can be smooth, but it's rarely fast (depends for one on how fast your Mac is). Here's a video tutorial on using iDVD's One Step capability: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#idvd-onestep

Best Outdoors WAPs for a High School Football Field?

Ubiquiti is my choice if you don't need any advanced features. How many APs depends on how big the seating area is and how many people you expect to connect. I'm also under the assumption the bleachers are metal, so you need to make sure you take that into your WLAN design.

What access points do you recommend for an outdoors situation? We want to provide Wi-Fi to spectators at a high school football field. The seating area is restricted to a single location. Two to three APs will cover the area.
The initial purchasing price and on-going costs are of concern. We would prefer not to have recurring costs when it comes to the access points.
We have looked at Meraki, Ubiquiti, Aerohive. Which ones would you recommend?

Do I use compressor to rip High School football game from DVD?

I am making a recruitment video for a Senior in High School. I film all of his local games, but two weeks ago they played out of state. He just gave me a DVD of the game footage. Would I use compressor to turn the footage back into an editable format? I use ProRes LT in FCP, but have never had to use someone else's DVD. I know the footage has already been compressed since it has been placed on a DVD, so I want to use the best options for the best quailty.

Look at Flip4Mac. The free version should allow you to view the wmv file. This paid versions should allow you to convert it. You can try before you buy to make sure it works. It should work with Compressor.
Another option is the free open-source Handbrake. I have no personal experience with this for wmv, but I have heard anecdotally that it may work.

Help with Multiple Source Video on DVD

I am new to Premiere 9 trying to make a DVD of a birthday party with video from my Canon Vixia HF200 and a slideshow I exported from iPhoto to a m4v file. It was my understanding from reading earlier posts I should export the instant movie I made by going to Share and export "for viewing on computer or make DVD" and then doing the same for the slideshow. But instead of an avi file, it makes a flv file and I am unable to open it or import it back to Premiere 9 to create a DVD. I am really confused as to how to go about putting these two files together to make a DVD. (I can't just put them together on the same project?) I have a iMac computer and am used to making movies on iMovie where you can just add clips from various sources and then export to iDVD. I am finding it difficult to get the help I need from the Help menu on the program. I know I must be doing something wrong. Please help if you can.

Now we know why we've been confused! At the beginning of this discussion, you were talking about creating a DVD. Now you're talking about creating a BluRay disc, which is a very different project.
To output a hi-def file from Premiere Elements, go to Share/Computer/MPEG and use the 1440x1080i output preset.
Should load right into a Toast BluRay project!
I don't know if Toast has a WebDVD project, but you can output a WebDVD project from Premiere Elements. Just set up a menu system as you would if you were creating a DVD or BluRay in Premiere Elements. Then go to Share/WebDVD to output your files.
A webDVD is a combination of FLV video and html files that can be posted to a site (including Photoshop.com) and then navigated just like a DVD -- except that it's online.
Glad to hear you're ordering the book too! Thanks for supporting our Muvipix.com mission!

Re: Help with Java school program

Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to make my DoubleCanvas java program to work. What I'm supposed to do is have a left canvas and a right canvas. In the middle of the applet is a button panel that can select to either draw on the left, right, or both canvases. We have a main DoubleCanvas applet class, then each canvas is drawn from a MyCanvas class. My problem is I don't know how to switch from one canvas to the other canvas from the MyCanvas class.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. :)

Hi, sorry. I didn't want to clutter the page with stuff that might be wrong. This is my DoubleCanvas applet class in the works. I'm not sure I did the listeners correct. And I haven't gotten to add the Checkbox event stuff in the MyCanvas class in yet, because I don't know how to make the checkboxes activate a particular canvas. If you feel I should post the MyCanvas class please let me know, it's somewhat long.

P55-GD65 (Bios 1.6) Need help with RAID-1 and SATA DVD-RW

Sorry if this has been already asked; did a search.
Trying to configure 2-Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 750 GB drives in a RAID-1.
I also have a SATA DVD-RW plugged in as well.
I enabled RAID mode = RAID in BIOS, pressed CTRL-I when booting to enter Intel's RAID configure screen, when there set the RAID 1 volume, exited.
Booted into Windows XP, went to load the RAID driver and..... no DVD-RW to read the disk. ?
Back in the BIOS, sure enough, all the SATA devices had disappeared except for SATA 7.
Is this a restriction of Intel RAID - that you have any RAID, all the SATA ports are RAID only?
I couldn't find any settings to choose which SATA ports are RAID and which are not.
Thanks,

Quote from: NovJoe on 11-February-10, 22:03:57
Try to move your DVD drive to another SATA port.
I did end up moving the DVD-RW to SATA7 and yes it shows up always.
But that is a disappointment. Apparently, with these Intel SATA controllers, RAID is an all or nothing proposition - turn on RAID and that will be the only use for SATA1-SATA6. At least that's my theory; Intel doesn't spell this out. This is a bummer for me, as I had hoped to use SATA1 and SATA2 for a RAID-1 and hang other devices off SATA3-7.
I could use the Jmicron RAID, as that uses just two ports, but that occupies SATA7 and SATA8, and (apparently) SATA8 is the eSATA connector on the rear panel - not very useful for a RAID.

Need Help with my School Assignment - Error Message

Hey guys,
I'm doing a school assignment for my Object Oriented Java programing class. Here's the assignment requirements:
"There are five kinds of flowers, and their associated costs. Create an array of strings that holds the names of these flowers. Create another array that holds the cost of each corresponding flower. Your program should read the name of a flower and the quantity desired by a customer. Locate the flower in the name array and use that index to find the cost per stem in the cost array. Compute and print the total cost of the sale. Write your solution in one class: FlowerCounterArray.
The solution should implement the following two methods:
- addOrder(String flowerName, int quantity) to add to the order. This is in addition to reading from the terminal.
- printTotal() to print out the total cost to the terminal."
I wrote up some code so far and I want to test it, but I am getting this error: "']' expected" on the newFlower[0] = new FlowerCounterArrays("petunia", 0.50]; line near the end of the code.
Here's my code:
public class FlowerCounterArrays {
    private String flowerName;
    private double price;
    public void addOrder(String flowerName, int quantity) {
        for (FlowerCounterArrays flower : newFlower) {
            if (flower.equals(flowerName)) {
                total = price * quantity;
                System.out.println("The price for " + quantity + " " + flower + "(s) is " + total);
            else {
                System.out.println("Unfortunately we do not carry that type of flower here.");
    public void printTotal() {
        System.out.println(total);
    FlowerCounterArrays[] newFlower = new FlowerCounterArrays[5];
    newFlower[0] = new FlowerCounterArrays("petunia", 0.50];
    newFlower[1] = new FlowerCounterArrays("pansy", 0.75);
    newFlower[2] = new FlowerCounterArrays("rose", 1.50);
    newFlower[3] = new FlowerCounterArrays("violet", 0.50);
    newFlower[4] = new FlowerCounterArrays("carnation", 0.80);
}Thanks for the help guys! Much appreciated!

Ok. I'm kind of new to all this, so some stuff I'm not 100% clear on.
I get what you're saying though. I put the array into the method.
Although now I get a new errod: "cannot find symbol - constructor FlowerCounterArrays(java.lang.String,double)"
I get this error on my newFlower[0] = new FlowerCounterArrays("petunia", 0.50); line
Here's my new code:
public class FlowerCounterArrays {
    private String flowerName;
    private double price;
    public void addOrder(String flowerName, int quantity) {
        FlowerCounterArrays[] newFlower = new FlowerCounterArrays[5];
        newFlower[0] = new FlowerCounterArrays("petunia", 0.50);
        newFlower[1] = new FlowerCounterArrays("pansy", 0.75);
        newFlower[2] = new FlowerCounterArrays("rose", 1.50);
        newFlower[3] = new FlowerCounterArrays("violet", 0.50);
        newFlower[4] = new FlowerCounterArrays("carnation", 0.80);
        for (FlowerCounterArrays flower : newFlower) {
            if (flower.equals(flowerName)) {
                total = price * quantity;
                System.out.println("The price for " + quantity + " " + flower + "(s) is " + total);
            else {
                System.out.println("Unfortunately we do not carry that type of flower here.");

        System.out.println(total);
}Thanks for the help so far!

Need Help With A School iPad

My school gave me an iPad this year and didn't take it back before the summer so I'm pretty sure they forgot they gave me one (I switched facilitators while getting it so the info probably got lost, and when I was returning my books they didn't ask me about it). But recently it's been restricing random sites and such. I need to know how to either remove the Meraki profiles, or how to reset it to factory settings. I tried the DFU reset trick, but the profiles are still there. I have an iCloud backup with the data from the iPad before I reset it, and I'd like to use that back up. I also can't connect it to my iTunes. I'm fine with jaibreaking it so the restrictions are off, and I can do what I want with the iPad, as long as I can un-jailbreak it right after so if they do want it back they'll just put the profiles back on. If this is possible please tell me. My computer is garbage so the iPad is the best way of doing all my internet things.

Yes I would take it back as soon as possible. Meraki has the ability to track your iPad so they may come knocking at your door knowing that you have it. If it has been reported stolen, the police can get a warrant and come searching for it. Get rid of the problem before the problem gets to you. Do the right thing and return it.

Please help with handbrake and changing my dvd

I recorded an event for someone and then took the tapes to Ritz camera and had them put them on a DVD for me. The company they use is called _Yes Video_, I downloaded the video to my Mac and it plays but the problem is I need to edit some things. So I went to Yes video website and looked in the forum and saw a thread about handbrake and how to convert, so you can import into I movie. Well I did this but it only converts part of the movie, the time on the video say 1:48 but when handbrake converts it then it only comes to 56 mins and not all of the film in in there.
I don't know if I have settings wrong on handbrake or what but I have to have this film edited and finished and turned into higher ups by tomorrow. I am so stressed out and just thought this would be a easy process.....guess I was wrong ha-ha

Hi there, I initially used handbrake for the self same reason of converting footage on DVD before realising that MPEG Streamclip produces far higher quality output from the DVD.
For info it's a free download from http://www.squared5.com/ though you will probably need the small ad-on from Apple $15 USD (I think?) and don't worry, it will tell you if it's required.
I've had astonishingly good results from using MPEG Streamclip - it's a shame I'm not working on commission or else I could give up my day job!
The settings I use in MPEG Streamclip to create the video footage as a .mov file use the options shown below:
FILE > Export to Quicktime
Compression > Apple DV - PAL
Quality > 100%
Frame size > 640 x 480 - Note: I used this for YouTube - you may want to set the resolution at 720 x 576 or higher for your own purposes.

Your stack is null. It only gets initialised inside the Calc2 constructor but since you never create a Calc2 object the stack will remain null.
Also never use == to compare Strings, use the equals method instead.

Or, the firmware flash didn't work?
I would try reconnecting the data ribbon. It is cramped and difficult to get to, but it may be some corrosion or a poor connection causing the issue.
It's worth a try, as the DVR-115 is a good drive. They don't make them any more........

High School highlight video (Widescreen or standard)

I am making a high school football highlight video for college recruiters. The capture video is widescreen. Should I convert it to a 4:3 project or leave it 16:9. I am not sure if they will be using widescreen televisions.

If the footage is already in widescreen, then keep it in widescreen. If they have a widescreen TV, great. If they don't no harm-no foul. Also, football is a sport that lends itself to widescreen viewing and you can cover more of the field with less wasted space, aka, no useless crowd above or below the field of play. Keep it widescreen, just make sure the DVD you make is an anamorphic DVD so that if they do have a widescreen TV that your video won't appear in the middle of a black frame.
Good luck,
-Brian
