What is the best software to use for screen capture on a PC for use with FCPX?

What is the best software to use for screen capture on a PC (windows 7) for use with FCPX? I've tried Camtasia and camstudio however the avi files cannot be imported by FCPX and the mov files produced by these programs are shown as just black screens in FCPX.

I use to face this issue every now and then (as a freelancer) when I use to cut on FCP7.
if the material is DV and was captured using Sony VEGAS, Premiere or Edius, the footage generally worked fine. You'll find most people will tell you to convert it regardless, however I found no issues working with them.
A problem you'll definitely face is HDV material. Most PC editing software write HDV in their own codec, which can't be read in FCP.
The only thing I can think of is to try converting HDV meaterial to QuickTime using something like MPEG Streamclip, or something similar.
Good luck

If your needs are limited to those tasks then both Preview and iPhoto will fit the bill They are already on your Mac. There is a free download from Google called Picasa available here:
http://picasa.google.com/
It works much the in same manner as iPhoto. For some really heavy duty work there is GIMP available from SourceForge:

What is the best browser to use for facebook?

What is the best browser to use for facebook?

Any browser is supposed to work, provided the rest of the infrastructure (Flash, Java) is up to date.
However, since FB is so prone to install/modify/alter its settings/cookies/environment, I prefer to keep mine sandboxed and access it only via a dedicated browser used for nothing else, thus minimizing the risk and exposure. For that, I use the Flock browser, purportedly optimized for social media: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/19719/flock

What is the best editor to use for JSP/Servlet?

Hello,
What is the best editor to use for JSP/Servlet database development.
I'm looking at Dreamweaver,Java Studio Creator.
I want some thing fairly easy to use that has database helper wizards like dreamweaver.
Thanks for the help.
Frank

Is it better to have a servlet do the database work and call it from JSP?No, it's better to have persistence objects do the database work. Servlets handle HTTP requests, and JSPs are HTML factories that should be pure view.
But there are lots of ways to do things. You just have to understand the tradeoffs when you decide.
I do not want to hammer out code, I want to learn the
best way to do things from experienced developers. Sorry, sounded like you just wanted to churn stuff.
"best way" can be subjective. In one app, "best" might be "delivered fastest". For another, "best" might be "most secure" or "most easily modified" or "best performing" or whatever. You won't get a "best" answer, only different choices. And they aren't always so easy to explain or execute.
I'd recommend that you start by reading about layered applications (3-tier architectures) and MVC separation. Once you've Googled enough about that, look into a framework like Struts or Spring or WebWork. That'll help you figure out where to put each responsibility in your app.
I can use dreamweaver to create web apps, but I hate
the arrays used to define fields. It also seems not
to take advantage of connection pooling.Don't know what you're talking about here, Frank. What do fields have to do with connection pooling?

What's the best flash to use for nighttime sports games?

What's the best flash to use for nighttime sporting events? I have a rebel XT and I'm pushing it to its limits trying to stop the action. I've tried a speedlite 430 but it didn't have a hook up for an external battery pack and I was told I'd need the extra power. Just tried the 580ex ll on Friday but at the 1/1 setting, it didn't flash for each frame in a burst, even with the external power. I should have backed it down to 1/4 but didn't know at the time. Any thought on a really good flash for night sports? Is the 580 a good choice?

JUst as Tim_S said. YOu will want a external battery pack. Unforatannly the 430 does not have the option to plug in a external battery pack so will want to pick up a 580 or one of the new 600 series.
Then you start looking at the battery packs. I recommend Quantum power packs

Personally most of my co-workers are using the Mophie case. They are great quality but can be pretty pricey. All of my fellow co-workers have been using this case to help with the upsetting battery drain that comes with ios5. I have seen people drop the the iPhone with this case on and seems to be a good sturdy case with an extra 9 hour battery life. Anyway's here is their web site if you want to look into these cases further.

I"m traveling to Europe for several weeks. What's the best converter and how will this effect my computer over time?

Right! Our regular power bricks cover the gamut of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz that will take care of everything save, say, a failing portable generator chugging in the tip of the Alps...
And you can drink the Apple koolaid and purchase the Official $40 Apple Adapter Kit ( http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B?fnode=MTY1NDEwMQ ) that will look chic and color matched to your brick, or do as Kappy says and get a regular equivalent from the nearest Radio Shack

What is the best media to use for backup

Some of the decision of what drive to choose depends on whether you are going to use two drives, or just one.
I prefer at least two. One for a Time Machine backup done routinely, and another cloned image, updated periodically. If you are going to use two drives, then I think that using a bus-powered drive for both is much less risky. If this is the case, LaCie, Hitachi, Iomega, Seagate all make good drives for this. I would avoid Toshiba and Western Digital Passport drives (elements drives are OK).
If you are just using one drive, I've heard some reasonable arguments against using a bus-powered drive. But even more so, just using one drive is much more risky, IMHO. This is because you are probably going to use Time Machine, or another solution to perform "incremental" type backups. All to often, when it comes time to do a full system restore with an incremental backup, do you hear of a corruption that prevents that restoration. That is where a cloned image comes in so handy. You can use the tested clone to make the inital restoration, and then often successful in getting just those critical additions on the incremental backup to save you.
Western Digital Elements desktop drives are OK and inexpensive*. On the higher end are the LaCie, or the Hitachi/G-drive desktops.
There have been a lot written lately about Hard Drives becoming much more expensive for the next several months. It seem that certain Asian manufacturers, especially thailand, have had some serious weather isssues that have hampered capacity greatly. That LaCie Thunderbolt drive I first posted about has increased in price by $100 since that post. And I see other brands inching up their prices. This is consideration of how fast you may want to move on this decision.
*Disclaimer: No matter what brand of external drive anyone promotes or criticizes, there are an equal number of people who will disagree. If I say I have had good luck with a brand, I have no doubt that someone will come along and say that it is the worst drive imaginable, and their favorite brand is the only way to go.

What is the best way to use a SSD for Photoshop/photo editing?

Computer hardware newbie here: I do a significant amount of photo editing work and for a very long time I've experienced Photoshop, Bridge and Photomatix crashing constantly (usually due to insufficient RAM) or just generally taking forever (Bridge took forever to load the thumbnail/preview extractions in a folder full of images, Photoshop took forever to save images and Photomatix took ages to load/merge a set of bracketed photos). Here are the typical error messages I'd get: http://pastebin.com/J9byczse
As a professional photographer, constantly running into that sort of thing is quite aggravating, so to hopefully avoid ever having to deal with that again I invested in a new custom built computer. It's Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with 32GB of RAM and a 240GB SSD; I'm using the 240GB SSD as my boot drive/OS, all of my programs are installed there, and the page file. My photos and data are stored on several HDDs. I have yet to install any of my photo editing software (Photoshop CS6 Extended, Lightroom, Photomatix etc) to the new computer yet since I'd like some advice first.
My basic question is this: what is the best way to take advantage of the SSD (and the computer in general) when it comes to my photo editing software?
Specifically...
1. If I have a folder of photos I'm working on, should I move it to the SSD and then work on them from there in order to take advantage of the speed of the SSD? Would this make any difference in terms of speed if the photos are located on the SSD vs. an internal/external HDD?
2. Most of what I've read online seems to recommend two separate SSDs, one for installing/booting the apps and one for cache/scratch. Does it matter if I use my 240GB SSD for both?
3. This is a fairly new computer and the SSD is already almost half full (102GB used, 120GB free) *WITHOUT* any of my photo editing software installed yet. I'm concerned about how fast that remaining 120 GB may fill up. As it fills up will I lose the speed advantage of the SSD vs. a regular HDD?
4. Sort of similar to #3, but should I bother moving any of my other non-photo editing programs/caches off of the SSD to a HDD and would there be any major difference in the speed/lifespan of the SSD if I did so? It's mostly Firefox and Chrome and their caches that I'm concerned may be a problem if they remain on the SSD.
Thanks for any help!

If you have an SSD you can run the cache and programs on the same drive. However, many recommend a scratch disk size of 100-200 gigs so that will not work here unless you opt for a larger SSD. Otherwise an internal spinner is recommended that does not contain the program files, or idealy any other files that may want to get acessed at same time (only one read/write head per drive).
With 32 gig of RAM you may not need the constant use of the scratch drive unless working on large images with lots of layers. So see no advantage to moving folder to SSD for temp work environment.
From what I read the new crop of SSD do not have the wear problems of the older versions.

What are the best settings to use for the newest AirPort Extreme (AC wifi) with my optimum online service provider?

I have the current generation of the AirPort Extreme and a handful of devices that utilize the new 5Ghz A/C frequency. My internet speeds were blazing fast when I had first set it up but lately it has been lagging terribly. I was told that changing my dhcp did help, which it did it seems like it might be back to its normal speeds but I just want to know what are the best settings to configure for the airport so that I can get the most out of my service on all my devices? I'm using a CAT 6 cable which does help, I have a guest wifi setup with a wifi password which I understand will slow it down a little. Can anyone just point me in the right direction or just give me a step by step guide on what settings to configure? Should I really consider turning off the guest network?

I am assuming that you are looking to configure your network to provide the highest level of bandwidth possible for your network clients. If that is the case, the following are a few things to consider:
The Internet modem should support Gigabit Ethernet. That is the Ethernet connection between the modem and your 802.11ac AirPort Extreme should be Gigabit Ethernet.
Use CAT-5e or CAT-6 Ethernet cables between all wired connections.
Only expect 802.11ac performance with 802.11ac clients in the same room as the base station.
Eliminate or significantly reduce any forms of Wi-Fi interference on both the 2.4 & 5 GHz bands.
When streaming, especially HD video on your local network, use wired connections between the host and player devices when possible.
Other than the above suggestions there are no "magic" settings that you can make on your AirPort. Note: The Guest network shares the same bandwidth as the "main" network. Unless you have a network goal to provide this type of network, it is best left disabled.

What is the best structure to use for my goal?

I am new to JavaFX but not new to Java. In fact I have my computer science degree training on java. It has been a number of years since I have worked hands on with Java as I have had a more website oriented role at my company since graduating, but we now need to rollout some new software and we have chosen JavaFX to accomplish this. I am currently reading "Pro JavaFX 2 A definitive guide to rich clients with java technology" by Apress in order to learn the small nuances of the javafx platform.
My question comes in regards to building the skeleton/structure of my program. Even after being half way through the book and moved on from the section that I believe would address this, I'm not sure the best route to go to accomplish my goals. Below are some wireframe pictures that will give you an idea of how the core structure of the program will work.
[Main Image|www.computech.com/images/temp/1.png]
This image shows the look and feel that will be seen the majority of the time. At the top left you have the car selection, top is the streaming weather information graph, on the left is the abbreviated Add Run where a user can input new data and the main area is where the user can see all of the data and information they have entered.
[Side Are Expanded|www.computech.com/images/temp/2.png]
Here is where my true question comes into play. When the user clicks the arrow button to expand the Add Run area I would like it to animate it to expose the rest of the information shown here and hide the logbook area. I feel that a modified accordian pane could accomplish this but because it is a horizontal / vertical hybrid I'm not sure if this is the best method.
[Streaming Weather Collapsed|www.computech.com/images/temp/3.png]
This is why I feel a typical accordian pane just won't cut it. Because the user also has the ability to collapse the streaming weather area to expose more information. So in a way it's almost like to accordian panes, one vertical and one horizontal yet sitting on top of each other. This is where I get pretty lost on the correct path to take.
[Logbook Only Expanded|www.computech.com/images/temp/4.png]
Here shows the logbook only expanded as much as possible.
To make it a little easier to see the different states I have also included a single image that shows all 4 states. [All 4 States|computech.com/images/temp/5.png]
As a newbie to JavaFX and rusty with Java in general, what is the best way to build my skeleton so that it can accomplish all 4 of my states, animate the opening and closing of each of the areas and allow me to easily change the content (the menu options at the top will primarily change the Options area which is on the left hand side).
Thanks for your help in advance.

Such beautiful and professional mockups. Which quite contradicts this:
As a newbie to JavaFX and rusty with Java in general, what is the best way to build my skeleton so that it can accomplish all 4 of my statesYou say that as if you want to believe there is some "novice" way of going about implementing such a professional looking piece of software. But you know just as well as I do that when your knowledge and skill level is low, you're only going to be able to achieve a dinky looking approximation of what you want to achieve and you're likely going to exceed whatever budget you have.
You have to keep working on your skill level first. You have such a wonderful mockup - I would do the same with your application. Create a mockup skeleton and keep tinkering with it until it looks like something you want to achieve. Don't create a full blown version, start with a simple test version. One step at a time, the thing to focus on is to not lose your grip on it. Make sure you make it work and you understand how and why it works. When you know the how and why, you're ready to do the thing for real. You're not going to learn that in a forum I'm afraid, it is going to be a couple of weeks of effort likely because you really do have to scratch that rust off of your Java knowledge first.

What is the best stylus to use for drawing on my ipad?

For drawing apps, what is the best stylus for my ipad? What does qualities does one need in a stylus?

There are many stylii for iPad.
The main requirement is that it be a capacitive type of stylus. Meaning that the stylus' has to be able to conduct the electrical impulses from your fingers to the tip of the pen so that the pen functions just like if you're touching it with your finger.
Stylii made for iPhone/iPod Touch or iPad will usually be indicated.
You really need to do a search on the web for them, and, if possible, find a retailer that is close to your location to see one, in person, to see if it might fit your needs.
Here are few links to get you started
http://myipadgames.com/best-ipad-stylus/
http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/iphoneandipodtouchapps/ss/Best-Stylus.htm
The last link has links for other stylii at the bottom of page that you can tap or click on.
Personally, I have two that I use and like. I use a Pogo Sketch stylus, and just recently switched to using a Wacom Bamboo stylus that I find is really good for drawing. I has a smaller rubber tip on the end than most other stylii.
You have to find one you think might work for you based upon size, length/diameter, and size of the pen tip.
And if you can get to see some of these in person, the stylus' weight. I find, for me, the lighter a stylus is the better.
Good luck and Happy Hunting!

Editor here, what's the best format to use for iMovie?

Hi all. I edit professionally, using Final Cut among other products. I haven't touched iMovie since...I can't remember when.
We have a client who is going to be using some of our footage for a project they will be editing themselves, using some version (unknown at present) of iMovie.
Assuming their computer is new, and they have a fairly current version of iMovie HD, what's the best format to transcode our original files to? I could always default to DV anamorphic, but would rather give them HD files.
Thanks for your help.

If they have a current Mac and are on iMovie 11 (current) or iMovie 8 or 9, give them Apple Intermediate Codec.
This works well for HD files.
Other formats that would work: Motion JPEG-A, Apple Animation Codec, h.264, DV, HDV.
ProRes 422 will only work in iMovie if your client has Final Cut Pro installed on the same machine (and thus has the necessary components).
