Make Your Own 3D Camera for $15 or Less

Just received this link from someone. Thought some of you may be interested...or at least amused. About as low-tech as it gets.
http://photojojo.com/content/tutorials/3d-stereo-photography/

I know its off topic kinda, but making a camera for 15 dollars is good but
my brother recon's he made a baby for under $5 as he purchased protection,
he bought the cheaper pack as he also wanted a beer only to find that his gf
then give birth to a baby 9 months later. so the moral of his story is spend
more on protection. any way just thought i would slip that in.

  • Code your own virtual camera?

    So I've heard it's easy to code your own Virtual Camera. Since I am no coder has one of you lovely fellows probably coded a camera himself?
    All I need is zoom and it should work with a stage size of 1024X576.
    I have tried the popular vCam AS3 v1.1 link: http://bryanheisey.com/blog/?page_id=12
    but it only seems to do an aspect ratio of 4:3 and not 16:9 (which is the aspect ratio you get when you use 1024X576) so everything is skewed and distorted.
    Maybe there is just a little detail that needs to change in that code but I have no idea what it is.

    If you look at the script you can see it's using the "camera" MovieClip's width and height for the capture area. So if you want to make it 16:9 just physically resize the camera MovieClip to 16:9 e.g. 480 x 270.

  • Can you still make your own ringtones in iTunes 10.6?

    Hi there. I looked for this question but didn't see it anywhere. I've made several custom ringtones for myself in the past using the method that is all over the www, which involves copying the AAC version of a song, setting it's duration, deleting from itunes and changing the extension and all that. Everything seems to work except that when I get to the part where I change it's extension and double click it to make iTunes import it as a ringtone there is no limit on the duration. Ie, it always plays the whole song. Doing some Google searches I see some things out there that Apple took the ability to make your own ringtone out of iTunes 10. Is this so? Do you have to buy them and if you have to buy them can you then edit them to the length you want? I have access to garage band if needed or will buy an app if needed. If app can you recommend?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    I usually use a different method, however this website http://audiko.net/ is a very easy method to do this with.

  • Is there a way to make your own Invisible Shield?

    I thought I remember reading that you could by the same kind of plastic coating at art or hardware stores... and make your own, which would be cheaper.
    Does anyone remember this? Or am I imagining it...
    thanks!

    The Vantec is thermally controlled.
    So is the OEM.
    Both are variable speed, with the OEM maxing at 23.5 CFM.
    The Vantec maxes at 24.2 CFM.
    Stepping of the Vantec fan is much better than the OEM.
    Smoother, and I think faster, sooner.
    Trouble with the OEM is the noise at full speed.
    Though "advertised" dB ratings are the essentially the same at full speed, I find the Vantec to be far quieter than the OEM.
    Before I changed my PSU fan in my DP 1.0 GHz QS, I could hear the din of the OEM CPU fan (full speed) even with the PSU fan roaring away.
    Changed both and the machine is civilized.
    The Vantec is quieter than OEM.
    The Verax fan that I replaced the PSU fan with also helped immensly.
    Connecting the Vantec to a molex to a 3 or 4 pin adapter works fine.
    So does using a 2 pin approach using the 12v and common to the logic board connector where the OEM connects.
    The RPM detector wire is not needed and can be cut off or ignored.
    The voltage ratings of the two fans are so close that no adverse effects will occur connected to the logic board.
    I try fans with adapter cabling. If I like them, wherever possible, I scavenge and solder OEM connectors to the new fans and use the G4 OEM connections.

  • Best Camera for $1500 or less

    What is the best mini-dv 3ccd camera for $1500 or less? I wish I could spend more but that is my limit at this time and I need a camera bad. Any suggestions?

    Hey,
    Keep in mind that the XL-1s is somewhat clumsy and awkward to handle. If you are used to ENG style... the Canon has no comfortable way to rest it on your shoulder. If you like to hold it out front, using the top handle, while framing your shot with the flip-out LCD... the XL-1s has no flip out LCD. Just a big eye cup style viewfinder.
    The up side is the interchangeable lenses available for the XL-1. But if you are test driving one this weekend, be sure to ask how many lenses that price includes. Also, is there a wide angle adaptor included as well.
    For my money... a used Canon GL-1 or a GL-2 if available, (the GL-2 is the newer version, with a better audio section). Being Canon devices, they already have superior optics. Both camcorders feature optical stabilization and [real glass!] 20:1 built-on lenses, and good sized flip-out LCDs. Since 2000, our church has been using 3 GL-1's for recording the services (via long S-Video runs to the switcher) as well as on remotes for the special dramatizations which are shown on the big screens during the actual services. Never a down day. The GL-1 is able to record in 30p as well as 16:9 anamorphic, and download via Firewire into any NLE. I've owned mine since 2000 as well. Never a glitch in the beginning with iMovie, later with FC Express, or now with FCP 5.1.4!
    So... get yourself a used GL-1 and one of those Beechtek DXA-2S mic/line adaptors, so you can use pro mics in the field, and for under $1,500 you have a formidable, light-weight shooting rig.

  • Make your own Fax Server with Automator! (Pagesender solution for Mavericks)

    I have been scouring these discussion boards for some time now looking for a suitable substitute to PageSender, an awesome fax solution for the Mac from SmileOnMyMac LLC, which for some inexplicable reason stopped development and updates after OS 10.6.8. The result is that many small business office users who still rely on fax (and yes...no matter what they tell you, most of the business world DOES still use fax because it's legally binding and more secure than email for the transmission of legal documents or healthcare records, and does not rely on database integration accross different systems, which is sadly but very realistically still a long ways off), and no longer have a way to integrate faxes into a paperless or digital workflow office system.
    I suspect like many folks who receive faxes, those who used PageSender, used a very powerful feature to forward faxes by email, thereby turning your Mac into a Fax server that could distribute your faxes to other workstations and staff throughout the business via email. Presumably, if you have your own email server (Exchange, Kerio, AppleMail server, PostFix enabler etc.) you could distribute faxes on your own internal network, securely behind a firewall, and effectively create a digitial/paperless workflow for your faxes.
    Even if you have a USB modem or multifunction printer that allows you to recieve a Fax to your desktop (Apple's internal fax via printer preferences, and some HP models like the HP MFP 127fw) for example will allow you to recieve a Fax to a desktop folder or forward to a single email address. But the former is of limited functionaliy and the later only lets you send to an email address out over the internet with a registered public domain, which means you give up all control of privacy and means you can't process it through a private mail server to create a digital workflow for your office...
    ...Until now!!!
    I am happy to report that I have finally discovered a very easy and useable feature that will save a lot of time, money, and headaches for those looking to create a digital workflow and fax server system for a small office system. (I don't think there is any limit to scale here, but I suspect offices with more than 10 employees probably have a BizHub, or HP MFP/digital sender that can create the same process directly from the printer, but of course these come with a price tag of $2000 and up...).
    To accomplish this however, you will need some basic requirements which are as follows:
    1) A USB modem from either US Robotics or Zoom Modem. These are readily available from Amazon, MacMall or any number of other online vendors and work very well and seemlessly with all Macs running OSX right up through Mavericks
    OR
    A Multifunction printer that is capable of receiving faxes to a desktop Mac like the HP 127 fw. Other models exist from other manufacturers as well, but you will have to do a bit of research and probably check with the vendor or user manual directly to confirm that Fax to desktop is supported for Mac and OS 10.9.
    2) A dedicated Mail Server (MSFT Exchange, Kerio, MacOSX server with mail server enabled, or PostFix enalber or MailServe from Cutedge Systems)
    You will need to set up an email account on your server that is the parent for all incoming faxes from which the faxes will be sent out as part of your digital workflow. This is beyond the scope of this discussion but if you've come this far and you're still reading, you probably know  how to do this already. I recommend setting this up as a POP account, not IMAP. This way, the attatchments (your faxes) will always remain on your server as a back up, until you delete them from the server.
    3) Now simply go to System preferences and select "Printers and Scanners". Select either the Fax printer for your multifunction printer, or add a fax printer/reviever using the + button and select "Fax" if you are using a USB modem. You must have the USB modem attatched to the computer in order to use the built-in Apple Fax feature for the latter option.
    4) Now click on the receive options. Select "Recieve faxes to this computer" and set your ring answer settings. Check "Save to" and select the designated folder (either Faxes or Shared Faxes on your computer) or create a new folder. Depending on the volume of faxes, and your back up systems, you may want to designate a separate folder on a separate drive, exclusively for your Faxes. This is where all your faxes will be stored.
    5) Now launch "Automator" in your applications folder and create a new workflow. You will be presented with several options. Select "Folder Action".
    6) At the top right of the window space you will see "Folder Action receives files and folders added to" . Select the Fax folder you created in step 4.
    7)On the left hand side of the "Actions" menu select "Mail"
    8) From the list of actions select "New Mail Message" this will take the latest Fax added to your Fax folder and attach it as a PDF to a new outgoing mail. In the "TO" address put the email address that belongs to the parent account your created for the Faxes on your mail server eg. [email protected].  In the subject field you can put "Fax Workflow" or any other generic subject that will identify to all reciptients that this is an email that contains a Fax/PDF attatchment.
    Under "account" use the SMTP account you set up on your mail server to handle the routing of internal emails. In most cases, this will be the same as the parent account created above. (Effectively, this account is sending and receiving emails to itself).
    9) From the list of actions, select "Send outgoing messages".
    10) Save the Automator workflow with a name like "FaxDistribution" or "FaxFlow".
    11) Go back to the Fax folder you created in step 4. Right click or option click on the folder and scroll down the options menu and select "Folder Actions Setup". You will see a list of scripts including the Automator workflow you just created. Choose it.
    That's it!! From now on, when you get a fax, it will get dumped into the designated fax folder, and this will automatically trigger the workflow to atttach and send it as an email to anyone in your office that is set up to receive emails with the "faxserver" address. You now have a paperless fax digital workflow server system for distributing your faxes digitally to anyone in your office who needs to review your faxes. Good luck!

    Thank you for this interesting posting.

  • How to Make Your Favorite iPhone Ringtones for Fre...

    Adobe Pat 206
    You cannot create a Premiere Elements (any version) DVD Template from scratch using Photoshop Elements (any version). To do that you need Photoshop CS or higher. The reason for "higher" is that earlier Photoshop versions do not support Layers Groups within the Layer Groups.
    But, providing you find a version of Photoshop Elements on a given computer operating system that will open the Photoshop Layer Groups in its key structure (.psd file), you can use Photoshop Elements to edit (not create from scratch) the .psd file for the main and scene menus of a given existing Adobe theme. I am careful on my language here since there have been recent difficulties getting Photoshop Elements to do this job which it once did without issue.
    The process is easy enough, but very detail dependant, with strict requirements for names files as well as Layer Groups, sublayers groups, and layers in the .psd file. To give you an idea of what is involved, please check out two articles I have written related to Premiere Elements DVD Template creation and customization.

    Not placing the new menu in the correct directory and any error in spelling and such are just some of the ingredients for failure in this type of project.
    Unless you want to add extra buttons to a menu, it might be easier for you to explore customization opportunties in the Movie Menu section of the program. See Tools/Movie Menus. The Movie Menus customization area should look like this
    Note that the Adjustments...Menu Background shows Video or Stills among other things.
    If you have questions on anything that I have written, please ask me here in your thread.
    You can also check out the Adobe documentation on this type of topic.

  • How can you make your OWN text slides on imovie

    What i mean by this is, is there any other way to make text slides in imovie other than the options they already give you? I want to make my own, i'm not a fan of the ones they give

    You can use Keynote and then use in imovie.
    The trick is to Share from Keynote as a QuickTime movie. Use Timed Advance, not Manual Advance.
    If you are using Green Screen, make a gradient background of two similar shades of green.
    Here is a "green screen" example.

    /BonneSwe

    No, iTunes printing is quite simple and only works off it's own templates. If you want to customise templates you'd be better advised to look at on of the specialised cover printing programs that are available. DiskLabel is one that springs to mind.

  • Roll your own phone loads for CCM 5.0?

    The software download page for phone loads has packages for the 7935/7936 phones that claim to be supported on CCM 5.0
    Unfortunately the zip files only contain the .bin file and no .cop file
    Since the .cop is just a renamed .tgz file, would it be reasonable to create our own packages? It looks simple enough, just modify loads3002.txt and include the appropriate os793X.txt file.

    The .cop files are like the .exe files in Windows. Therefore you shouldn't need the .cop file in this case. You should just be able to copy the .bin file to the server in the tftp folder and make the change under the device defaults and restart the tftp service.
