Need advice on how to get the MBP firewire port to like... work ?

Bonjour, from France !
Ok my firewire port does work when it has to mount a drive.
But it really makes the biggest mess in the universe when it comes down to streaming audio data to my external firewire sound card, a t.c. electronic konnekt 8. Ok ok I see you guys comming with the "read the notice of your soundcard you idiot" answers ! But it's not just me. My brother has a firewire m-audio audio interface on his intel iMac (first generation) and he is having the same mess, and a friend also had another m-audio firewire model and had the same problems. Of course, drivers are up to date.
The problems are : mainly random clicks and sound gaps when playing audio, sometimes lasting a few seconds - sometimes loss of synchronisation leading to strong sound degradation.
So my question is : this issue is obviously a general (mac ?) firewire related issue as several configurations have experienced it. Does anyone out there know how i could fix it ?
Thanx for your time,
Michael

  • Need advice on how to get the most out of iDVD.

    My wife and I do wedding Photography - Videography as a source of extra income.
    My question is: How can I produce the highest image quality dvd for our clients using iDVD.
    I dont quite under stand the difference between exporting from iMovie to iDVD and Sharing the
    movie from iMovie to the media browser, then opening iDVD and adding the movie that way.
    I shoot the movies with my Sony HDR-SR12 Camera and edit the footage with iMovie 09'.
    "please explain slowly and clearly" I am good with what I already know, however can quickly get
    confused when taking on new methods and or terminology...
    Thanks in advance.

    My question is: How can I produce the highest image quality dvd for our clients using iDVD.
    "please explain slowly and clearly"
    If only it WERE simple.....
    Your camera shoots HD video in AVCHD format. DVDs use mpg-2 compression and are really 4:3 devices; 16:9 content is anamorphically squeezed to the SD format. DVD players unsqueeze it on playback.
    Converting you HD AVCHD video to anamorphically squeezed mpg-2 content offers lots of opportunities for quality loss.
    You can try simply 'Sharing' your iMovie '09 movie with iDVD but I expect this will not produce maximum quality.
    I probably would choose the Share>Export using QuickTime option and then select the QuickTime Option>Video Setting of Apple Intermediate Codec. This conversion may take quite a while.
    For single layer media, if your content is under 60 minutes Best Performance encoding will probably give you the best results; if it's over 60 and under 120 minutes use Professional Quality. Personally, I try to stay away from DL media.
    What I suggest you do is create a short (say 15 minute) demo video clip and then try the various output option from iMovie and encoding options in iDVD to see what you like.
    When the iApps first came out (about 8 years ago), most prosumer video shooting was done in the DV format (digital video on mini-tape cassettes). DV is an easy format to edit because it is 'lightly' compressed and all the information needed to edit is easily accessible. The newer formats (like your AVCHD) are much more highly compressed and are more complicated to work with.

  • How to get the pixel data so as to work on it?

    Hi all,
    I am trying to write a plug-in that will crop and scale the image, edit the selection in the image document based on image data. For this purpose I need the pixel data of the image. How to get the image data as different pixels and what is the data structure used to store this data?
    Assumption: No layers i.e., only background
    Thanks in advance,
    Sailu

    Hi Ilya,
    Thank you for your post. In the plugin architecture you propose (automation + filter), do you have an idea about how to share the pixel data between the two plugins? I have found a post that gives details about how to get pixel data and show it using ADM components
    Matthew Hollingworth, "ADM Color Managed Preview?" #1, 22 Oct 2007 11:53 pm but it supposes that you have a filter plug-in.
    Again, does anyone knows how to preview the current image in a AUTOMATION plug in? This seems impossible.
    Thank you all for your help
    Cheers,
    Chaker

  • F2 on Popups? (Or how to get the Component if F2 is not working)

    Hello Experts,
    I wonder if somebody has a tip how to get the component of popups?
    The F2 Help is not working there.
    The Popup I'm actually looking at is called by a button. Is it possible to find out the called component by looking at the button Event? (I have tried - but the source does not tell me any component)
    Thanks for answers...
    Regards
    Chris

    Chris,
    F2 should definitely work if it is a UI component.
    You see pop ups on button clicks and F4 value helps. F2 should work in these cases.
    For some attributes with F4 help, a DDIC search help is attached. Here F2 does not work.
    Anyhow to find out which component it is calling, you use this method
    check in the event handler(for button pop ups) or in the outbound plugs specifies in GET_V method(for F4 pop ups) if there is a code like
    CALL METHOD comp_controller->window_manager->create_popup etc.,
    A Component Usage will be passed to the method. You can check for the component usage in the Run Time Repository.
    You will get the component details.
    Regards,
    Masood Imrani S.

  • In FF 7.0.1, the New Tab button on the Tab Strip disappeared after clicking the Tab Group icon and trying to return, so I'm looking for advice on how to get the New Tab to reappear on the Tab Strip.

    In Windows Vista, FF 7.0.1, I selected the Tab Group button to try it out. However, when I selected the Tab Group button again to close that view, the New Tab button in the Tab Strip no longer appears. I'm requesting help to restore the New Tab button (has the "+" sign on it) on the Tab Strip just to the right of the currently open tabs.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.

  • How to get the Personas Rotator add-on to work with new Firefox themes?

    Before Firefox changed from personas to themes, the Personas Rotator add-on automatically switched personas at a set interval (ie. every 1 minute). I presently have Firefox 12.0 installed as well as the latest versions of both Personas Plus and Personas Rotator but the rotator does not work.
    Before it was necessary to sign into My Favorites for the add-on to rotate my favorite personas, but now when I sign in, there is no rotation. Only one persona/theme that is enabled stays on the screen. There is no automatic rotation.
    Private browsing mode is not selected. How can I get Personas Rotator to work again? Thank you.

    Good news! The Personas Rotator is now working again and switching personas automatically at 1 minute intervals.
    It began working again after I went to the 'Appearance' tab under 'Add-ons' and removed all the personas listed there (these are ones I 'Added to Firefox' from My Favorites list which is accessed after signing in to the gallery).
    But now I see that the personas that are presently being rotated are appearing in the 'Appearance' tab as well. I wonder if it will be necessary to 'remove' all these later to have them rotate again. Will post an update later for anyone having this same problem.

  • How to get the "Document info" in illustrator cs?

    Hai all,
    I need to know how to get the counting of RGB objects, CMYK Objects and Grayscale Objects information for illustrator vector(editable) file.
    In illustrator raster image file, i need to know how to get the Embedded image information(Resolution, Mode).
    I collect these infomation manually from "Windows->Document info". I saved the "Document Info" details in illustrator manually using "Document Info Pannel". I dont know how to save that information through "illustrator sdk" or through any other way without manual interaction. Could you please advice me. This is for windows operating system.
    Thanks,
    Prabudass

    I think sample code in the SDK contains a 'skeleton' plugin, I'd start with that. It should also provide a list of suites that get automatically loaded, I think it's in Suites.h. Just make sure AIDocumentSuite is in the list, and if it's not, just follow the examples in that file to add it. That should end up with a global variable called 'sDocument', which has all the suite functions as methods.
    Then it's something like:
    AIDocumentSetup setup;
    AIErr error = sDocument->GetDocumentSetup(&setup);
    // check error to make sure it's kNoErr
    Then you just have to inspect the setup struct for (hopefully) the answers you're looking for.
