Need Advice. N93i Video Mic Produces Frequency Noi...

My N93i video recording is working well except that the sound in the recorded video is distorted by a hissing noise like that of a radio frequency noise. I have sent the phone to Nokia Care Center, they said its the mic, they change the on/of button near where the mics are located, the noise became less loud/overbearing but it is still there. They suggest sending it back to the repair factory. But I am very doubtful if I should send it to the repair factory because I have heard from some people that their phones came back with lots of scratches after the repair, plus it takes 3 long weeks, plus I'm not sure what the repair guys can do to fix the problem, plus their tweaking with it may cause other problems to arise, and I'm sure they wont be replacing it with a new unit.
So does anyone ever have experience with this mic noise problem before, and how did you get it fix or a little better? My warranty will expire in a couple weeks time, so if I send in the phone for repair and 3 weeks later get it back withhout the problem fixed and possibly with other new problems arising then I cant send back teh phone for repair again. This is a big concern of mine because of what I have heard people telling me about the service qualty level of Nokia Care Centers.
Thanks for inputs on what could be the problem with the mic or the recording noise. I've playback it on phone and on Pc and its still the hissing moise present....

Since Nokia had said it is a problem with mic you have to send it to Nokia for fixing the problem. As regards the scratches tell the front desk executive and make a note in the job sheet that you will not accept the phone if it is badly scratched.

  • Need advice on video software.

    Need advice on video software.
    I currently use adobe elements 3 and have done so for a few years now with no problems. my os is XP and my system is a couple of years old, but we do have a brand new win7 machine in the house.
    I am currently look at Cyberlink PowerDirector 8 Ultra OR Adobe Premiere Elements 8. Reviews for both softwares seem very good BUT, when I dig deeper into user reviews instead of editor reviews do I find problems.
    Major problems with program crashing all over the place, at start up etc, and it is still not getting along with any win7 machine? Major problems with drivers. Honestly, I do not want to have to jump through dozens of hoops to get any software to run. After I pay for it, it should run, period.
    Has anyone else here used both softwares and can you give an honest opinion of each?
    I am also asking these same questions on the cyberlink site.
    I would like to upgrade my video software to take advantage of the new features that are coming out but I really don't want a big headache trying to run one or the other. To be fair, when I bought adobe elements 3 I had also bought pinnacle, which has gathered dust since my first week with it, which is why elements was purchased. That was money wasted and I do not wish to repeat this. I would like to go with Premiere Elements 8 but remain very unsure.

    If your newer machine is Win7 64-bit, it might be worth waiting for SP-1 to be issued, and then hope that 64-bit drivers are fully included. The 64-bit drivers now seem t be an issue at this point, and that will affect any NLE program.
    Also, and regardless of which particular program you choose, optimizing your computer, the OS, the hardware, and the resources management, will go a very long way to insuring success. Few programs can tax a computer, as an NLE can - any NLE. Video and Audio editing will stress your system, like almost nothing else can, except for heavy-duty CAD, or 3D work, though those are usually done only on specialized, optimized computers, designed just for those applications.
    Not the specific advice that you seek, but it's the best that I can do.
    Good luck,

  • Need advice on video card

    I just received my new MacPro 2x2,8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with two 500 Gbyte drives inside. I accidentally ordered four (4) ATI Radeon HD 2600 (256 Mbyte) videocards (stupid me - I thought "4xATI Radeon..." in the configuration meant that the card was 4 times more powerful than the cheapest card in the list...
    So now I need to figure out what to do with the three extra cards I don't need. If Apple is not willing to take them back, I may sell them at ebay. What should I expect to get for a card like this?
    I see that the ATI Radeon HD 2600 card is not the ultimate video card for the Mac... So I have started to wonder if I should have picked the more expensive card NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB. I have read some opinions about the difference between these cards, but it seems that all the reviewers are gamers. - What I will be using the card for, is to run FinalCutPro, Motion and ArtMaticPro/Voyager to create HD video and animations.
    With the configuration I have now, I can't play back 1280x720 HD in Animation (almost no compression). I wonder if this is normal, or do I need a faster video card than the ATI Radeon? I ordered the Mac with 2 Gbyte RAM, and I am waiting for additional 4 Gbyte to arrive soon (from a retail store - that saved me at least 250 USD compared to ordering this much RAM from the Apple Store
    Any thoughts and advice is very much welcome!

    Hi,
    If I could use one of these to drive a second VGA CRT on my computer (same model as yours),
    I might be willing to buy one of them.
    I now know that I cannot use the same displays setup I had with my G4 with the new MacPro.
    Would love to know if simply adding a video card would solve my problem.
    My very old Apple CRT 15" monitor that I bough NIB about 2 years ago (and works great) doesn't play nice in a 2 monitor from 1 ATi Radeon 2600HD setup.
    I am wondering if adding a second card will solve the problem.
    Thanks, and so long for now, TOM

  • Need advice with video editing from iphoto to imovie, or something else.

    ok, here's the deal. I have about 1tb of videos(in raw iphone straight to iphoto format), about 3k of them.  I took a few vids a day for a year or so. They are all in iphoto right now but i need to take each days vids and put them together and export that in a smaller format.  I need to do that for each day of the year.  But it's a nightmare trying to get the vids from iphoto to imovie.  Is there an easy way?  I don't want to do major work to them, i just want to put them all together and have 1 vid file.  So say I have 3 vids on jan 1st in iphoto, I need to move all 3 to another app, put them together, export the single file, keeping as much of the quality as I can, then I can delete the original raw vids and move that single file back to iphoto.
    So instead of having events with lots of videos inside them, 1 event per day, 1 video.
    any ideas on a quick and easy way to do this?

    iMovie is the tool for that job and it's video so there are no "quick and easy ways", I'm afraid. The files are huge and it takes time.
    What nightmare are you having getting the material from iPhoto to iMovie?
    As there is a lot of repetition in the process you describe, have you considered using Automator to try and do some of the heavy lifting for you?

  • Need advice on video download and edit

    I need to download and edit video, have not done it before. My Mac is a PowerBook G4 from 2005. The videocamera I have is a Sony GL2 digital which uses a mini DV cassette. I have a cable, a 4-pin DV to 6-pin firewire. What software do I need? (Currently I have only graphics apps, Adobe CS2, Dreamweaver, Flash, Quark.) The type of editing I need to do initially is cut out crap scenes, piece together good scenes, and export mpeg clips. I do not have a DVD writer on this Mac. I love Adobe products but I can't spring for Premiere right now.

    iMovie came with the computer. Capture and cut away.
    You'll need an external DVD burner if you want to output stuff. iDVD will allow you to burn the video to disk.

  • Need advice on Video card for my 1st Gen Mac Pro 667ghz

    OK, I'm getting frustrated because I can't seem to find a card to replace my now failing NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. I was thinking of buying the ATI 4870 but I saw that it needed 800ghz and my Mac Pro has 667ghz..
    What are my options? ;-(

    The graphics card doesn't care about your memory bus speed. The ATI 4870 will work in any Mac Pro.
    <http://www.barefeats.com/nehal05.html>
    "As with the Radeon HD 3870 and HD 2600, ATI included both a 32-bit and 64-bit EFI driver in the ROM, so it should work in all models of Mac Pro with the latest drivers. We installed in the Clovertown first generation 8-core Mac Pro (as you can see from the graphs above) and a close colleague installed it in a 2.66GHz Woodcrest 4-core first generation Mac Pro. As long as you have two power feeds for the card in your first generation Mac Pro and have the correct drivers properly installed, it should work fine."

  • I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD.

    I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD. Also, I can not afford an expensive camera and need some advice on which of the available cameras would be best and also work well with a Mac. One last issue, I currently use a Panasonic #CCD camera that takes a tape. When I load video to Final Cut the audio and video are out of sinc. Go figure. Can anyone help with these questions. Karen

    Hello Karen,
    If you are using Final Cut Express, then look for camcorders that are AVCHD camcorders.  Look especially for the AVCHD logo and specific mention of AVCHD in the specs.  Most of the major manufacturers produce good quality camdcorders - Canon, Sony, etc.
    Also, be aware that there are a lot of "not quite AVCHD" camcorders on the market (sometimes they say they record video as MPEG4-H.264/AVC) - buyer beware!
    Most everything you are going to find on the market today is HD, which stands for "high-def".
    Regarding your question about the Panasonic camcorder, it's best if you post that as a separate question, and please identify the specific model camcorder and the Easy Setup you are using in FCE.

  • Need advice on on a Mac Pro 1,1 Media Center

    I currently have a 2009 Mac Mini running as my home media center, but I recently came by a FREE Mac Pro 1,1 and have decided to repurpose it as my media center so I can migrate my Mac Mini to my bedroom TV where it will live an easy life doing nothing but run Plex Home Theater, Netflix, and EyeTV. This machine falling into my lap was also quite timely because my 4-bay Drobo is running low on available expansion and another Drobo isn't in the budget at the moment.
    This vintage mac pro is running Lion 10.7.5, has 1 old and crusty 500GB hardrive, dual x5160 processors, 4GB RAM (one stick i'm pretty sure is toast judging by the red light and the kernel panics), and the standard NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB graphics card. It will be used primarily for the following: network storage for iphoto and itunes libraries, streaming video, Plex Media Server & Plex Home Theater, and Handbrake encoding. I also have a goal of safety of data for my movies, photos and music as this machine will supplement my current Drobo storage.
    My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
    Here is where I need advice because I am not very familiar with RAID and the differences between hardware or software raid. Am I better off getting four drives of the same size and setting them up as RAID 5 (I think) using Apple's RAID utility or should I throw in three 1TB drives and then install a fourth 3TB or 4TB drive as a Time Machine backup for the other three?
    Should I upgrade the OSX to the technically unsupported latest version? Or is it not worth the trouble for this application?
    Also, is there any benefit to upgrading the graphics card to the ATI Radeon 5770? Would this yield an improved image quality? I am outputting to a Denon AV Reciever and subsequently to a 100" projection screen, if that makes a difference. I also noticed the 5770 has an HDMI port, wich would be nice, but not necessary since I can use a DVI converter and woud still need to use the optical audio out anyway.
    Much obliged for any input

    My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
    PCIe cards that use or support SSD are not bootable until you get to 2008 (and that is limited too).
    Green are not suited for any form of array unless say NAS and WD RED.  Better option would be 3 x 2TB WD Blacks in a mirror, and too many people only use two drives, well 3 is much easier safer and works better. Might want to invest in www.SoftRAID.com product even.
    Best price and quality, got my 1,1 with 8 x 2GB (ideal is 4 or 8 DIMMs)
    2x2GB FBDIMM DDR2 667MHz @ $25
    http://www.amazon.com/BUFFERED-PC2-5300-FB-DIMM-APPLE-Memory/dp/B002ORUUAC/
    With price of 250GB SSD $155 I'd go with that or stick with $89 for 128GB .

  • Need Advice WRT iPod Purchase - Which Model?

    I've never considered buying an iPod before, but I've been making a lot of business trips by car in the past couple of years, so having music to play all long the way would be A Good Thing. But, which model to buy???
    I don't think I'll have the need to play videos, but I like the idea of having an info screen. I'm not sure the Shuffle is for me, because I'd like to have more control over what's playing and what to play next. But I can't imagine having more than 6 or 10 albums stored at any given time. My tastes in music just aren't that broad.
    However, I have thought about the option an 80GB iPod would give me. That is, I could copy all of the installer disc images for all of the Final Cut Studio discs and the latest updates to the OS and support apps. Then when I'm on a Final Cut system support call, I'd have all the files I'd need in a very small package, rather than a large firewire drive.
    So, advice anyone? Thanks.

    Thank you. Yes, I'm familiar with that type of FW drive. That would be buying two new devices. Not out of the question, but if I could get by with one, it would be a bonus.
    The iPod nano, huh? I assume the display on those will help me see what's playing and what song I can choose to play next, right?

  • TV monitor display project, need advice.

    So I will be starting a project soon for my job. It will require some content for a store lobby TV display screen. Basically I will be making some content, whether it be scrolling images, animations, or maybe a video clip playing automatically. I will have maybe all of these things to be played throughout the day in the lobby of my work for customers to be viewing. This is the first time I have taken on a project such as this and I'm not sure where to start. I need advice on what type of information I need in order to begin this such as what size to start my project as, format, etc. Thanks!

    Hi,
    You have two options:
    1. Create the Edge Animation on the Computer, and play the animation and use some screen capture software that will give you a video. This video you can play on your lobby TV  in loop.
    2. If the lobby TV is a smart tv (i.e. it has browser to navigate the webpage), then you can host the Edge animation content files on some server, and navigate to the server url, which will play the animation on the browser in the TV.

  • Dv cam suggestions for use w/Rode video mic...

    A friend ordered a Panasonic PV-GS500 from J&R which was delivered DOA. He sent it back and was then told they had none to replace it as it was discontinued.
    He needs a decent consumer DV cam ( up to or around a 1K ) with a hot shoe attachment to use in conjunction with the Rode video mic to record solo music performances.
    Suggestion...?
    Thanks

  • Doc Project with format confusion- need advice

    I have a documentary project with a plethora of footage formats because the doc spans a long length of time and different project collaborators. We just shot more footage and I don't want to move forward converting the new footage until I know the best path to take form here on out. please advise.
    Here is the info.
    Below i'm listing the descritption of footage, the format, and the % I'm predicting it will be used in the final edit of the documentary I'm working on.
    Archival Footage: DV NTSC 720x480 (10%)
    Original footage shot: DV NTSC 720x480 anamorphic (40%)
    Additional Footage shot in Summer 2010 with Panasonic HVX200: DVCPRO HD 720p60 29.97 (35% shared with canon 7D footage listed below)
    Additional Footage shot in Summer 2010 with Canon 7D: shot 1920x1080 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422, pixel aspect square. I converted this footage to 720p60 29.97 to match the Panasonic footage but I still have the original files saved. (35% shared with hvx200 footage listed above)
    New Footage shot with Canon 7D: 1920x1080 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422, pixel aspect square (15%)
    Timelines:
    - I edit the SD footage in timelines with SD sequence settings matching the format of the footage
    - I edit the HD footage in timelines with DVCPRO HD sequence settings matching the format of the footage
    - when footage of both formats ends up in one 'scene' the timeline is DV NTSC 720x480
    - when I output a rough cut, I nested sequences and output DV NTSC 720x480
    I have not converted the new footage yet and before I do convert it and then transform continue editing, I feel I need to re-evauluate how I'm approaching the multi-format situation.  I need advice about the best path to take from here on out. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
    Should I upconvert the SD footage and do everything HD from now on? The final cut will probably be 50% SD and 50% HD with possibly more HD than SD.
    If I do upconvert and go HD, is 720p60 29.97 the best format for me to use considering my footage sources? If you have any ideas, please also explain how you might go about carrying them out.
    Thank you!

    Exactly, whic is why I'm seeking advice. the final delivery will be film festival screenings and hopefully broadcast, and considering the channels today that = HD.
    That's not a final decision at all, that's a series of delivery options. You must produce your project in the highest resolution for which you have space, codecs and techniucal competency.You will save that as the "final" but I'd not call it that since nothing is ever finalized. Jsut keep naming the versions. Then you will open the full rez version and use any of several conversion or compresiona apps to satisfy all other distribution needs.
    The omst flexible will be a 1080/60 format but that decision will cost you tons of conversion time, lots of space, and will require many stylistic decisions along the way.
    That's what I would do but I'm not you and I'm not your client. 

  • Video files produced with E90 doesn't play on oth...

    Hi all, the video file produce with my E90 communicator is not compatible with my other Nokia phone model's RealPlayer, can someone please tell me what exactly is the video format of E90?
    Do I need to install a codes in order to play on other Nokia phone models? I assume it was Mpeg4.

    First, try going to store at the top of itunes and check for purchases. Just to make sure that the movie was finished downloading.
    If the video did not download correctly, then the only way to fix it is to download it again.
    In your account screen in the itunes store, there is a purchase history section. In this section, you can report problems with music, movies or anything that you have downloaded.
    Try using the purchase history section to report a problem and let the itunes store support that an error keeps coming up that the movie did not down load correctly

  • Ready to take it one higher ...need advice on best way to get more audio in

    Nearly ready to upgrade to LP7...need advice on more gear.
    Longtime Logic user, my old rig running with an Audiowerk 8 card (dont laugh too hard please, its worked great for years! ).
    Now, after purchasing a MBP and LE7 ... how best to upgrade even further, to be able to record say 4-8 tracks (live instrument) at a time, into the optical or Firewire ports. I have an external 750Gb FW drive.
    Also have a Mackie 16 chnl mixer and hoping to find a way to send the Master stereo pair (or maybe even track inserts) from the Mackie to the optical or FW input of my MBP. But how to do this ? Im guessing there's a box or gizmo somewhere that would be perfect.
    Unfortunately, all of the boxes and gizmos Ive looked at so far seem to duplicate functions I already have, esp mic preamps (dont need any more of those !). I prefer 19" rackmount devices as they work well with portability, and fit into my SKB rig easily.
    TIA

    Also have a Mackie 16 chnl mixer and hoping to find a way to send the
    Master stereo pair (or maybe even track inserts) from the Mackie to the
    optical or FW input of my MBP. But how to do this ? Im guessing there's
    a box or gizmo somewhere that would be perfect.
    if you really want to use the pre's on your mackie, and it has multiple bus/aux outputs which I presume it does, then you can easily set up a device such as the 828 to take all your input channels from the mackie, and then to run a bunch of return pairs back out to it.
    depending on your budget there are prob a few others for you to look at. RME and metric halo always get rave reviews from users, but are pricier. also the focusrite sapphire might be worth a look, as well as the apogee ensemble.
    also I just noticed you are using logic express, not pro. so there may be some limitations on the number of simultaneous inputs and outputs that I'm unaware of.

  • Firmware v2.1 bricks my camera - Need advice

    I need advice. I bought the FS7 a month ago and it came with Firmware 2.0. I have been getting used to the camera and I think it's a great machine, still has some bugs, but manageable. The huge issue I have found it that I cannot upgrade to V2.1 without the camera stopping to function. I do the upgrade procedure as stated by Sony http://bit.ly/1E4o32D  Using a 32 GB Class 10 Sony SD card. The .md5 is correct. No lenses or adapters installed, no battery, no cards, not even the grip remote. I have tried several times, even after an ALL RESET. The procedure takes the normal amount of time in step one. When step one gets to 100% it restarts the camera and starts step 2. When step 2 ends, ussually after 9m45s, it pops a screen saying "Software Upgraded" with only one option to click on "Done". Then, I cannot push the "Done" because all buttons in the camere have ceased to respond. Nothing electronic in the body works. The on/off button does not turn off the camera, so I ended up taking the power cord out. After that the camera starts out normally but the buttons will not work. I finnally found out (I was thinking the camera was a brick by this point) that I could use the remote grip buttons. So I have ended up installing V2.0... five times I have tried it. It does not work. Any help please? 

    Hi Daniel, Thank you for the comments about my training video, but I'm afraid I don't have an answer about your firmware update problem if it's not the HOLD button.  To be honest, I have not even bothered to update to 2.1 myself yet.  Normally I try to keep my firmware updated, but in this case, I'm too busy and  I just don't care enough to bother with it.  None of the "improvements" interest me and I'm happy with the camera is running right now.   Yes, I am guilty of not following my own advice about keeping the firmware up to date. I guess you can either reach out to Sony or just keep using 2.0 until another update is released.  I know what I would do, but I don't want to offer any advice one way or the other. The scene files that can be downloaded from my website were created with v1.1 and I have not seen any reason to update them.  They sitll work fine for me and nobody has reported any issues. Good luck.
