Need Easy camcorder and download to Imovie

I use my iphone for video and download it to my macbook air. It is a training tool for a sport I participate in.
I want:
a zoom so i am thinking about getting a simple camcorder.
I want something that is easy to import.
want to be able to transfer to my ipad
what brand/format should i get?
also, want to be able to burn a dvd so I can hand it off to friends
thanks

Most likely you do not have Final Cut installed and do not plan to but as a guide I would suggest Apple approved device list. A similar list exists for iMovie users, simply search for it on the Apple website. I do not have its exact address at hand. Basically, any camcorder that records on miniDV tape and has FireWire (or iLink, or 1394, depending on manufacturer, but this is the same beast) out will do.

I need easy audio and video converting and editing software?

I need easy audio and video converting and editing software that wont cost $400.

I highly recommend you try Video Monkey. It's free, though donations are certainly accepted, and does an excellent job of converting .mov to .wmv. Choose Best (2 Pass) for Encoding Speed and depending upon the size of your original file, uncheck 320 pixels wide to create a larger converted image. I set Quality to "Go Nuts".
Another good commercial program is Video Converter Ultimate for Mac. It works as video converter and editor. The version for 2 Pass conversion is approximately $69. , which is considerably less than the $400+ that Adobe Premiere is asking for its editor. I'd still prefer a freebie though, but there's little choice...

I use imovie to create videos. When I burn the video to DVD and play it back there is digital breakup in the playback from the DVD. The digital breakup does not show in playback on the computer. I understand there is a file I need to delete and reboot the computer and imovie will rebuild the file in the program. Help!

My method is to use the DAW in standard recording mode, and set up the camcorder entirely separately. After recording, I automate the audio mix with fader moves and effects, then export ("bounce to disk") a full-fidelity AIFF, 16-bit 48 kHz stereo file (most videos use 48, not 44.1). I use iMovie '11 to import the video from the camera, then import the stereo audio file and match it up to the camera audio by dragging it into the iMovie Project. Make the waveforms visible, it's not too hard to align.
Then, use iMovie's "Export as Quicktime" feature. Here, by going through the menus and options, you can control the audio compression (for example, 256k instead of 128, although 128 seems to be enough for YouTube).
AppleMan1958 posted a YouTube video about controlling iMovie's export options that may help:

Newbie needs help, advice and alternatives to imovie

Hey all,
I am running into problems using imovie 08. Here is the project: Importing large amounts of VHS footage using a canopus input device. I have no problem importing. the problem exists when I try to delete rejected footage. I know this has been posted before, but i really did not notice a solution. I hear things like, "be patient. it takes time" but I am getting spinning wheel that wont go away. I click on the imovie icon in the toolbar and it says, 'imovie not responding" in the greyed out area of the box. So i am forced to shut down or force quit.....losing not only the clip, but the entire import.
Is there any way to avoid this? it is a fairly new imac, so its not as if the cpu or memory cant handle the project.
Now part two.....I want to import all these ideally with imovie, then edit ideally with idvd. First, i want to import everything (i am borrowing a work imac for winter break) and later (summer?) i want to edit. but, i dont think i will be able to do this since i cannot get rid of the scenes...or do i just wait and do this in idvd? IS there an easier way? snap pro? final cut? i want to avoid the rendering times (takes imovie over an hour just to open!) and the freezing. my end product will be DVD's slideshows,
Could I easily, using these programs, simply make a copy of the DVD's on a LG dvd recorder (stand alone) and edit this video later? or do i have to then import that in DV format, and end up with the same problems? eventually, i want to do lots of editing so the stand alone is not a good permanant solution. I also dont get it: are these DV files or MOV files? the computer shows both. what else imports this format that may allow me to edit the video in an easier, non freezing way?
thanks for reading. meanwhile, i will continue to scan the forums.

But, let me see if i understand you correctly: import with imovie, but THEN use QT or Mpeg streamclip? or do i import with those programs.
Actually, I would probably use Vidi (free) to import the source files. It is an older utility and does just one thing -- it captures the raw DV footage and stores it wherever I want. This is handy if I have yet to determine which video editor I plan to use. Once the raw footage is stored on my hard drive, and can perform preliminary cuts of footage I definitely don't plan to use. This saves time importing/re-rendering the content I do actually keep and plan to use, as well as, the thumbnailing of content if it went directly to iMovie '08.
also, can you explain why this is what you call destructive editing?
Destructive editing is editing that actually modifies the source file. All versions of iMovie have the ability to "split" the source content into smaller segments and trash ones you don't want. By this I mean it actually divides a source clip into smaller segments, re-writes the segments you want to keep, and deletes those you don't. This is destructive. Once the segments are deleted and the project updated, they are gone for good. iMovie '08, FCE, and FCP, on the other hand, are intended to be used non-destructively. This means You can select a segments and add the segment to one or more projects one or more times without physically changing the source file. In other words, there is no real need to physically remove content you don't want since you can simply tell the project which frames to include in the project. Think of it as either copying the source frames you want to project. In actually, in iMovie '08 you are just copying frame references to the project and not the physical content itself -- which is why I call it "by-reference" editing. Since not actual footage is copied to the project in iMovie '08, the project files are much smaller. In addition, unlike iMovie HD, your edits do not have to be rendered to physicals which also ad to a projects size. Instead, in iMovie '08, the status of the project is simply rendered in real time for viewing which is why the CPU requirements are so high for this application.
do i loose quality on this?
Generally speaking, you lose quality every time you transcode your content. Since there is no physical intermediate file in iMovie '08, every frame in our output is transcoded at least once. In iMovie HD, only the titles, filters, transitions, special effects and such are re-rendered (re-compressed to the default project compression format) which means that all other content is exported as a "reference" file pointing to the original source content as it was imported into the project. This is why you will probably see a lot of talk about DVDs made with iMovie HD looking better than those made with iMovie '08.
a lot?
That really depends on what you are doing and how good the original content is in terms of quality. If you are importing content that is automatically transcoded or manually transcoded as part of the import and then re-render it part of a special effect and then convert it to a target compression for a particular use, then you could end up with the equivalent of a third generation copy of your original content. If the original content was of outstanding quality, then you may see little or no visual deterioration. If starting with something like QVGA digital camera content, then you may be tearing your hear out when you see the finished product.
do i really need to jump thru all these hoops just to primarily delete rejected clips? a process that imovie 08 should be able to handle quite easily, but does not.
The best approach you be for you to do your preliminary editing as you import. Since you will be importing manually, you can plan ahead and only import the content you actually plan to use by starting and stopping the import process manually. By blocking or importing individual segments manually and allowing them to thumbnail independently, you should not be constantly running into the problem where the computer locks up for hours because you are importing an hour plus of content all at once. I have never run any timing tests, but it often seems that the import time sometimes grows geometrically with the amount of content imported simultaneously and not linearly on my rather old G5. (It may just be my imagination, but I'm not sure.)
the second comment i get. So, i can really keep all the cruddy stuff in my import, and simply do not add it to the idvd project?
Normally, each project you create in iMovie will end up as a separate "title" on your DVD. You can crate a single long movie or several shorter projects than can be selected as independent playback selections in your DVD project. The basic function of iDVD is to take the files you send to it and convert them to MPEG2/PCM content to be burned to a DVD along with the interactive menus needed to play them back on a commercial DVD player which access content written to specific types of files. While an application like DVDSP will offer limited editing options, they are nowhere as good as what you can do in the video editor. Use iMovie to create the file as you wish to play it back and use iDVD to write those files to your DVD.
that might help me avoid the issue i am having, but will not help me save drive space.
As I have already said many times before, the best way to save drive space is not to import content you don't really want. The average DV25 file video content alone takes up an average of about 28.5 mbps for or about 12.825 GB of hard drive space for every hour of imported video plus whatever space is needed for your audio. (There are different "flavors of DV but most often it is imported as DV/DV for iMovie.)
that might help me avoid the issue i am having, but will not help me save drive space.
The best way to see what is going on is to simply open one of the files and look at the "Inspector" window. The "Format:" entry should tell you what compression formats were actually used to create the files. The DV file will be DV video with DV audio. The MOV files will likely depend on the actual source file and/or the default project type selected in the case of iMovie HD imports. Basically, if the import routine automatically transcoded the content, it will often end up in an MOV file container as explained previously.
i like the sound of vidi and will check it out now.....ok. did that. looks good! so, basically, i get one big file at no signal loss, that i can mess with first, then bring into imovie?
Exactly.
any reason i would NOT want to do that?
Probably not as long as you import and do your preliminary editing one tape at a time. In this way you can get rid of most of the dross immediately. If however, there is a long segment you know you'll never use, why import it at all.
I only have so much time off work here, and hope to do it all during my vacation. this issue was causing me a headache. hopefully this will now make things a little easier.
Best of luck. Consider it a "learning experience." (I.e., "no pain, no gain.")

Help needed to upload and download

i know the client's path of a file and i want to design a web page in jsp to upload this file into server and also download a file from server to a client m/c(the client should not specify the path) Help me please by giving the code.

Hi,
You cannot directly upload a file from Client machine even if you know the exact harddisk location of the file. Java does not allow this. You either need to use one of the following:
1. Multipart Form Upload
2. Signed Applet to upload the file.
Mail us if you need more help.

I have a Sony HDR-PJ260V camcorder and I use iMovie, is there a way to import my videos in 1080?

Okay, so I'm pretty new to this, and today when I tried to import my videos via iPhoto they got all grainy and stuff.
What should I do to import them on their normal quality?
Thanks

Loading and download SWFs for AIR apps on iOS from server

Dear
I develop app for ios using adobe air i need to loading and download swf in my server to my local device
i make it loading from server and play but i need to download it locally in device to play offline
Please Help
Thank You

If I undestand correct, the unload() is unsuported yet, so it just hangs in the memory
In the tests I did, when I put two loads for the same swf, the app freezes, so I don´t know what you can do there.
For the "code", you just need to put the LoaderContext on the loads, something like this:
Frame 1:
var myLoader:Loader;
var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain, null);
if(myLoader == null){myLoader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); }
else {myLoader.unload();}
Frame 2:
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("file1.swf"),loaderContext);
Frame 3:
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("file2.swf"),loaderContext);
Frame 4:
myLoader.unload();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("file3.swf"),loaderContext);

Can I buy and download adobe premiere pro at home and then use that DMG to install it in my office?

Have just purchased a beast of a Mac Pro. Will be using this for editing a feature film. Problem is I need to buy and download Adobe Premiere Pro. My internet speed in the office is abysmal and it would take forever to download. Thats why I was thinking of downloading the software at home, and then using that DMG file to install on the Mac Pro in office. Is this possible? Will appreciate any help at all.
Thanks!

You can download the Enterprise Deployment packages and install them, but you still need to install the CC app in the first place.
