How can I get HD quality while using my iSight on my MBP?

Hey Folks.
Im interested in knowing a little more information regarding the isight cam... I want to get HD quality while video chatting with family & friends on skype & iChat. Please let me know.
I know that there are other webcams that have HD capabilities.

Let me know.
Thanks.

Yes.
I have a web cam that can do 1.3Mp
This App can get those that Can, to Display (And Display Only) the native format of the camera.
iMovie is likely to be able to see it as it can handle Camcorder feeds.
The difference you see in iMovie to iChat is the difference.
iChat, MSN (If connected via a Exchange Server to do Video), Yahoo (Vid only no Audio) and Skype on the IM apps use 640 X 480 or in Skype's case less.
Photo Booth seems to use the same as iChat to allow for the Composition tweaks (It uses the same Quartz files in the Compositions Folder)
By eye Comic Life that came bundled with some Intels also seems to use 640 X 480
So to an extent it depends what you are going to use the camera for.
iGlasses is a cross app Add-On that can "improve" and tweak the picture in various applications such as iChat outside of what the OS and Application Software have commonly set as Defaults.
the Adjustments tend to be within the scope set up by the manufacturer (i.e. allowing colour, white balance and Contrast and other settings the camera may have been designed for but not in the app settings)
Quicktime Pro, if you have it, can be set in Preferences > Recording to "Device Native" which tends to allow a sort of in-between iChat and iGlasses control (some features but not all) but will work with iGlasses as well.
It is restricted to a 4:3 format window though but this would apply to most Web cams anyway.

  • How can I get HD quality on DVD

    OK, how can I get HD quality on DVD like I can for youtube?   I use mpeg2 or H.264 for my youtube videos and they look fantastic on there.  I use the NTSC widescreen for my DVD's and they look like crap compared to my youtube videos. I even notice that my video ends are cut off a bit compared to my youtube videos.  It's like it is burning the dvd's in standard instead of HD.  I have a canon HF200 HD camcorder.   Is there a way to get that same quality on DVD?  keep it simple for me.  I'm using PE7
    Thanks

    Do you mean that you wish to Burn BD material to a DVD disc, or something else?
    DVD is, by definition, SD material, and was designed to be viewed on a CRT TV. It is not HD, and that is what BD is all about. You cannot alter the DVD-specs., as they are written in stone. However, one can do things with a blank DVD disc. What they do, depends on what one needs.
    Please let us know exactly what you want to do, and we can give you tips.
    Good luck,

  • How can we get ADFSecurity work when used in OC4J, OID and OAM?

    I am getting error in http server log "mod_oc4j: Response status=499 and reason=Oracle SSO, but failed to get mod_osso global context."
    But I am not using Oracle SSO and my client doesn't want to use it either, I am using OAM SSO(CoreIDSSO) in my configuration. Please read the details below.
    I am using ADFSecurity in an app that is protected by OAM. To migrate ADFSecurity permissions from
    system-jazn-data.xml to OID, I used JAZNMigrationTool to populate OID with Grantees and Permissions. OAM gives login page, and authentication works fine.
    But ADFSecurity is not working. ADFComponent Delete button is enabled even for roles that dont have permissions for the iterator delete.
    - The app works fine when I use without OAM. ADF Security permissions work fine.
    - The app works fine when used with OAM, but with ADFSecurity disabled (enforce=false).
    - When I enforce ADFSecurity alongwith OAM, ADFSecurity is not working.
    In the doc "Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide b28957", there is a mention of use of CoreIDPrincipal for permissions. Our OID Permissions entries show
    LDAPRealmRole for attribute orcljaznprincipal. I am not sure if this could be the reason.
    We have configured AccessServerSDK for the SOA instance and have policy for the urls in the policy manager. We have entries in orion-application.xml, orion-web.xml and system-jazn-data.xml as per the documentations.
    How can we get ADFSecurity work when used with OID and OAM?

    Have you been able to successfully integrate OAS with OAM & OID? We have similar requriement and so far we have not been able to get it working.
    We have application specific roles which we map to OID roles using orion-application.xml.
    Any pointers to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,

  • Than how can i get java class by using it's class file?

    Hi
    After compilation of a java program, it creates a class file.
    After getting class file suppose class file has been deleted.
    Than how can i get java class by using it's class file?
    Thanks in advance.

    get a decompiler and run your class file through it--I'll assume you want the source code back and that you are not trying to recover a missing class file by attempting to use the class file that is missing--if it's missing, then I've not a clue on how to get it back by using what is already missing.
    BTW: many of your compilers have source control--if it does, just restore your missing file.

    Hi Experts,
    How can i get a file header using this method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download

    Hi,
    You can use the FM - GUI_DOWNLOAD to specify the headers. It can be done in the following manner -
    TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_head, "Structure for header
                 h(10) TYPE c,
                 END OF ty_head.
    DATA: it_head  TYPE TABLE OF ty_head WITH HEADER LINE.
    "Adding header details
    it_head-h = 'Field1'.
    APPEND it_head.
    it_head-h = 'Field2'.
    APPEND it_head.
    it_head-h = 'Field3'.
    APPEND it_head.
    it_head-h = 'Field4'.
    APPEND it_head.
    CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
      EXPORTING
        filename                        = p_file
       filetype                        = 'ASC'
       write_field_separator           = 'X'

    Hope this helps.

  • How can i get apps with out using credit card info because i do not have a card ?

    how can i get apps with out using credit card info because i do not have a card ?

    Yo Chris. I've been following your answers to different threads and quite frankly, you're very keen in answering everybody regarding this stupidity that Apple has brought upon its customers. Kudos to you. But the problem is, most of the time, in some devices, your solution doesn't work because the NONE option is not there. The same goes for me.
    Meanwhile, I found a temporary workaround for the iPhone 4s, iPad 2 and iPod Touch 4th Gen.
    Register a free Apple ID from the iCloud Settings.
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Account>Tap Payment Information on the Storage Plan Category.
    Fill in the other boxes and choose "None" on Credit Card Information.
    That's it! Hope I helped those who still couldn't find the "None" Option.
    Must be running IOS 5.0.1 though, else there would be no iCloud.

  • How can I get Colorful Tabs to use separate colors for 2 different gmail accounts?

    Running Firefox 29.0.1 on iMac OSX 10.9.3. I have multiple Google accounts: 2 gmail accounts and 1 Google Calendar. The Add-on Colorful Tabs will allow me to choose a color for one gmail account , but it also uses that same color for the other gmail account. How can I get different colors on 2 different gmail accounts?
    Also, Colorful Tabs is also doing the same thing for my homepage (google.com) and my google calendar. How can I get different colors on these 2?

    I personally use "Fabtabs" for my mozilla FireFox.

    This add-on doesn't have any issues like that when I use it.

  • How can I get Sender Display Name using Get-MessageTrackingLog?

    Hi, could you please help me. We have got a monitoring system at work which monitors some devices, so if something wrong happening with these devices email is sent from MASTER email (Customer Name <[email protected]>) to us. I'm trying to get a list
    of all emails of that monitoring mailbox using PoweShell command
    Get-MessageTrackingLog and export them to CSV file. In the end of the day I need CSV file with 3 columns: TimeStamp, MessageSubject and SenderDisplayName! Yes, I need Sender Display Name cause all emails are sent from one MASTER email
    (Customer Name <[email protected]>) and only difference between them is sender Display Name which is cexactly what I need.   
    This is the code I'm using:
    Get-MessageTrackingLog -EventId Receive | Select Timestamp, MessageSubject, Sender | Export-CSV C:\NagiosAlerts.csv
    –NoTypeInformation
    So how can I get sender Display Name(Customer Name) using Get-MessageTrackingLog insted of Sender email (<[email protected]>)? 

    The DisplayName is not recorded in the Logs only the EmailAddresses are so there Is nothing you can do with Message Tracking to get this the way you want. You need to look at another property may soureIP or include something in the Subject
    of the Email (eg a customerId in the Subject is a much better option) to give you some differentiation. Otherwise you need to access the Email directly from the Mailbox it was sent to and then extract the DisplayName from the message (or use a journaling
    on those emails etc)
    Cheers

    YOu need to get the videos into the photos app.
    So either add the videos to iPhoto, or in a folder.
    Plug in the iPad to your computer.
    fire up iTunes.
    Go to the iPad options, and then to the Photos tab.
    Select the folder with videos, or an album with the videos from iPhoto.
    MAke sure to tick the include videos tab.
    IMovie will be able to delink to the videos again.

  • How can I get high quality video that will play on my Touch as well as ATV?

    Within iMovie there are output settings for the iPod and for the Apple TV. Now I fully understand the video resolution restrictions of the iPod Touch, so I am happy using a widescreen resolution of 640x360 ("Medium" output setting). What I am not happy about is the quality of the Medium setting, which iMovie states is 1.7Mbps. The results are rather blocky to say the least. In comparison, I can output the same movie as "Large", with a res of 960x540 and a bitrate of 4Mbps, and it comes out a little soft, but the blocky artefacts have all but vanished. Unfortunately, of course, the iPod Touch won't play a video with this resolution. I have tried "Export using Quicktime" and can get good quality results. However, the video (although H.264 and 640x360) ends up NOT being compatible with my iPod Touch.
    Basically, how can I output a video of 640x360 that is of the quality I want, and that also plays on my iPod Touch? If the "Export using Quicktime" can be used to achieve this, what are the settings to use?
    Thanks.

    But why shouldn't I be able to have one video to suit both. I am happy with the resolution of 640x360, even on my ATV.
    You can. Unfortunately, your desire for both a data rate greater than 1.7 Mbps (H.264/AAC compression) and the ability to play them on an iPhone/Touch/iPod is mutually exclusive at this time. Thus, you will either have to make different files targeted for different data rates for maximum quality on each device or you make a single file using the maximum allowed data rate for playback on the "slower" device and accept the quality it produces on whichever device you are currently using. If all you want is a higher data rate, use the MPEG4 Simple Profile which allows data rates up to 2.5 Mbps. Just remember that the H.264 codec is about 2.0-2.5 times as efficient and is roughly equivalent to an MPEG-4 Simple Profile file with video encoded at 3.00-3.75 Mbps.

  • How can I get a report to use a DSN instead of a database name?

    DSNs are great things.  By using a DSN in a database connection string, you don't have to worry about what happens if you have to look at a different database, or if a database name changes.  All you have to do is change the database the DSN points to, and everything that was built using that DSN still works.
    Everything, that is, except Crystal Reports.
    I am using CR XI.  Our customer's database is named "Anneal", and it uses PostgreSQL.  I have several copies of that database, taken at different times and for different purposes, on my machine:  "Anneal", "AnnealTest", "Anneal_2_8_10", and on and on.  I also have a DSN named "WinCaps".  The reorts I have developed for this customer were set up to use an ODBC connection based on the WinCaps DSN.  But if WinCaps pointed to the "AnnealTest" database when it the report was created, and then I delete the AnnealTest database and change the WinCaps DSN to point to a database named "Anneal", and then try to open the report, I get a complaint that the AnnealTest database does not exist!  Yes, I know it doesn't exist.  I am expecting CR to use the DSN I told it to use, which should get me to the Anneal database.
    The fact that CR complains about the AnnealTest database tells me that internally, CR is retrieving the actual name of the database and storing that instead of storing the DSN name, completely defeating the purpose of the DSN.
    Is there any way I can set up my report to use whatever database the DSN happens to be pointing to, instead of the database the DSN pointed to at design time?
    Thanks very much!
    Rob Richardson

    Hi Rob,
    Crystal assumes you are setting location to the database and it stays that way when run. Yes we do keep the connection info in the RPT file.
    There's a few options that may help. First, can you upgrade to CR XI R2? It' still supported...
    Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
    Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
    Second, in the report itself check on the Verify on first refresh, save the report and then test it on another PC connecting another database.
    Next option to to try these registry key changes, usual warnign about altering the registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareBusiness ObjectsSuite 11.0Crystal ReportsDatabaseOptions - VerifyWhenDBDriverUpgraded = Yes
    And try changing this one also - DontAutoConvertODBC = Yes
    Close the Designer first or your changes won't stay.
    THey may have to simply verify the data manually and then save the report so the updated location info is saved in the Report.
    Crystal is very database dependant obviously so asumming changes made to the DSN are automatically updated can cause a lot of issues for the end user also but it depends on your point of view. We consider this working as expected.
    Thank you
    Don
