Need suggestions for high speed, slow motion, sporting event to DVD

In a recent video shoot I've trimmed down a lot of video into several slow motion clips of 15%, 20% and 25%. They were shot at 1/500 on a GL-1 and "modified" speedwise in FCE without frame blending. In the past I've had problems with shadows in slow motion with frame blending on so it was turned off this time. As a full sized QT video everything looks just fine.
Being satisfied the video looked well I put it to DVDSP. When I worked it through in DVDSP (using all default settings)and printed the video I ended up with a horror show of bodies which moved back and forth and looking nothing like the full size QT quality clip. Bodies moved in one direction, the camera opposite them and at times the zoom working against both and it ended up looking like people moving backwards then forward and once in a while the shadows I'd hoped to get rid of.
I will assume that not blending did some of the damage, but it appears that the further the action is away (presumabley the camera movement is minimized compared to the movement of the players) it looks almost viewable, but on anything close the movement appears as if it is not always moving forward.
I will have to experiment, obviously, but I was hoping for a starting point. As an aside I exported the FCE scratch QT file to camera and reimported it to FCE as one large block, the same result on the DVD occured despite the tape looking excellent and the full sized QT file looking just fine also.
I guess the averaging of the compression comes into play, so what would be a way to tweak it to what I want instead of what's easiest for the program?
Thanks in advance for any idea!

What format did you shoot? HDV? if so, you may be seein field-reversal artifacts.
Frame blending is kind of a misnomer as far as slomo in FCE and FCP go.
Are you using a pre-FCS version of DVDSP? why are you using FCE?
I've found one of the best ways to get slomotion is to up the frame rate using compressor with the frame controls turned on, then reconform back to your native frame rate with Cinema Tools. It's a bit of a workflow quagmire, but the results look good.

Suggestions for Cam w/ Slow-Motion?

I need to shoot some sports action that will be analysed for technique, hence the need for slow-motion... I know that some of the less expensive cams shoot for only 20-30 seconds in high-speed mode... that's OK but longer would be better...
Other requirements:
-HD
-works with FCP
-Hard Drive Based
-$1000-$2000 dollars
Any suggestions?

Use your current camera and buy Shake, then use this technique:

Not ideal, but neither are your own requirements.

Searching for a low-cost plug for doing better slow motion clips.

Where can I find a low-cost or free plug-in for doing better slow motion clips? I produce alot of sports videos and use FCPHD but am looking for better quality. I am not necessarily looking for time-remapping (it confuses the ** out of me). Just want to simply slow down clips and not be as choppy as FCP turns out.
Thanks for any help!

I switched modems to a cisco for high speed broadband now my homesharing will not show my computer so I cannot stream my movie collection. WI/Fi works as I can get apple TV and you tube. Of course my ISP is no help, any ideas.

After switching to a new Cisco router for higher speed broadband my homesharing will no longer show my computer so I cannot stream my movies. My WIFi functions as You tube Apple TV and Netflix all work,please help.

There will not be any updates /deletes on the table.
I have created a partitioned table with same struture and i am inserting the records from my original table to this partitioned table where i will maintain data for 6 months.
After loading the data from original table to archived table i will truncating the original table.
If my original table is partitioned then what about the restoring of the data??? how will restore the data of last month???

hi vikrant,
You can a Cube at the reporting layer which gets data from DSO and which has these 2 extra characteristics completion date and previous cycle along with other chars and keyfigures from DSO.
You can populate these based on your logic in the field routine.
Hope it helps.

Still Waiting for HIgh Speed Internet

I see advertisements for Xfinity's high speed internet and have never seen it. I have been with comcast for a long time. My WIFI crashes in and oot on a regular basis. The internet locks up and I have to restart my computer. I have attahced a video. This happens often. I was trying to watch netflix when this happened. It never did come back. I gave up and turned off my computer. I am beyond frustrated. I pay for high speed - I want high speed. Unhappy,Jodie

How about using a 60fps video for a smooth slow motion effect in a 30fps project ?

Hey all,
I happen to have a video camera that is able to shoot either in 720p/60fps or 720p/30fps.
As you guessed it, 60 fps mode is very useful for action sports when you want to do some slow motion effect running very smoothly.
I have few questions I would love to be answered, and I was not able to find answers till now.
Here they are :
1/ If I want my final video file to be, let's say, 25 fps, is it mandatory that my project is 25 fps too ?
What will happen if I do a 30fps project and that I export to a 25fps file ? Does Premiere simply remove some extra frames ? Or will it lead to a longer video ? What consequence on the final result if frames are removed ? I mean, will I be able to see any difference or will the difference remain theorical ?
2/ Let's say I have both 30fps and 60fps videos. I set my project to 30fps. If I import my 60fps video to the timeline, it will be adjusted to 30fps and some frames disappear to keep the duration the same. Okay, this is clear to me.
But now, what if I import my 60fps to the timeline, but set the speed to 50% ? Will Premiere apply the 50% to the original file (therefore I should have all the frames displayed on the timeline : 60/2=30 fps), or to the 30fps-adjusted file of the timeline, leading to some jerky footage?
3/ If I want to use my 60fps for slow motion purpose in my 30fps project, would it be a good idea to right-click on this file in the project windows, going to the "modify" menu to set the image frequency to 30fps ?
Because while doing so, if I drag the file to the timeline, I noticed it would last 2 times longer (resulting in a slow motion video) Does that mean that ALL the frames of the original video are displayed ? Can someone tell me what exactly does Premiere ?
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me what are the correct settings to chose in order to realise the best slow motion videos as possible.
Thanks in advance !

With due respect... this does not answer my question and does not help me that much , but anyway, thank you for the very constructive answer ^^.
I'm not sure I would even have considered doing this by myself...
I hope I do not get this kind of answer because you feel like my question was silly or unpolite... To my mind this was a pretty serious question.
Shooternz, next time you need to go 150 km far away from where you are, go by feet rather than with a car, I'm sure you will have plenty of satisfaction too. Just cross the fingers for you not to be in a hurry while it's raining outside.
Well, I may be naive but i thought some experts already had the answer to this (I guess I'm not the only one who intend to do some slo mo), and would have been kind enough to share this knowledge with me. That's what sometimes happens in communities.
Please note I do not intend others to do the job for me, I'm just asking if someone already knows the answer.
I asked this question because I couldn't find any documentation about this, and I guess asking on internet was the next step, as testing would be like the last resort, being very time consuming.
It was easy to check the effect of dragging a file to the timeline to see if it played normally or not, but it's definitely not to count and compare each frame of some sample file to find if some are lacking, or have been doubled or what....
I assume I would be very happy with just a simple theorical answer either...
So once again, if someone already has been into such questions, I would really pleased him or her to share or report what they experienced. Thanks in advance.

Help! data manipulation for high speed streaming to disk from multiple boards and multiple channels

I am using Labview 7.1 and have been trying to capture data from 12 channels simutaneously sampled at 2MS/s each and streaming to disk for up to a minute or more. The hardware I am using is 2 x PXI 6133 S series boards with a MXI4 link to a Pentium D 2.8 Ghz machine with 2Gb ram. I have 2 sata drives set up in a raid 0 configuration which should give me hard disk write speed faster or equal to the MXI-4 transfer speed.
I have first started off by using the example code "multi device sync - analog input- cont acquisition" which has enabled me to sync the two boards and sample at the required speed.
To stream the data to disk, I have first merged the data from each board together to save it to one file. I have tried using the storage vi's but I end up with a Daqmx read error (trying to read data that is no longer available). I have played around with the read data size to the point that I either get a insufficient memory error, or I get the "trying to read data that is no longer available" error. I have also tried using the file IO blocks with some success and have found that I have been able to stream to disk only if I configure the daqmx read block to output the data in "raw 1D I16" format and plugging it into the file-write block. In doing this, I have noticed that using multiple channels on one daqmx read task, I will get all the channels in one 1D array rather than a 2D array organized by channels. This makes it messy to read at the end of this, and I also don't want to write another vi to separate the channels, due to the high chance of getting the data mixed or messed up if I happen to change the number of channels on a board
Is there a cleaner way of streaming this data to disk and keeping the channel data separated from each other?, and/or is there a better way to capture and handle the data I need?
I have attached the vi which I have got to consistantly work streaming to disk using the raw 1D I16 format.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Hi,
i can suggest following
Refer to an example VI called as "High speed data logger.VI" in conjunction with "High Speed data logger reader.vi" in Labview examples. Alhrough the logger might be in Tradiditional Daq format, it can be quite easily converted to Daq Mx format to store data in Binary (I32 format) . I have used this for many of my applications and i have found that the data retrieved does not have any "messups".
Why not keep a seperate file for each card? This way, you do not have to load your application with extra process. You only have to acquire and save. After saving in Binbary format, you can retrive it offline, convert it to ascii format and merge the data files of various cards to get one consolidated ascii data file.
hope this helps

Need Suggestions for iMac Replacement

Hello Community, I would truly appreciate any suggestions and feedback you may have on our iMac replacement dilemma. We currently have an early (January 2006) 20” Intel Core Duo Mac, OSX 10.6.8 with a 250 GB HD that has served us well these last 9 years, however as more applications are written for more memory, 64 vs. 32 bits, videos and pics, the Mac has become a bit wonky and it’s becoming difficult to update iPhone and IPad info, so it’s time for replacement. I have reviewed the new iMacs and MacBooks and am unsure which system is best for us. Here’s our situation:
We want the system to work effectively as long as possible. Another 9 years would be nice. This will require more memory and drive storage in anticipation of bigger future technological changes. For example, storing movies on the hard drive wasn’t a “thing” when we bought our Mac. We are quickly filling our HD up with videos, music and pictures. Using iCloud for storage is not very feasible because of the following:
We live in the country and do/will not have access to high-speed internet through land-based cables. We recently cancelled HughesNet Satellite when AT&T upgraded the 4G LTE equipment on the closest cell tower to our home. Our only internet access is now through an AT&T hotspot. It has worked well with iPhone software updates and movie downloads, but I don’t know how well it will work with a very large OSX download.
Because of our internet access situation a MacBook with a docking station and monitor seems like a good way to go since OSX is no longer available on CDs and Apple allows owners to take their MacBooks into the store to download the OSX updates. The down side appears to be dual vs. quad core processors and memory size. I also have an iPad and iPhone, so I have no need to travel with a laptop. Cost is always a fact in these decisions.
The iMacs are wonderful, and have plenty of options. Do we need quad-core vs. dual core? And, what options do I have to upgrade the OSX software if AT&T becomes cantankerous?
Community, what are your thoughts on our situation? Which Mac system do we need?

I didn't find any string functions to do this.Transalate() is not helpful here.
How can i achieve this functionality.Have you tried concat() function...wherein you could say concat('string here', getVariableData('varName', 'partname', 'xpathLocation'))
e.g.
     <copy>
          <from expression="concat('Failure',
               bpws:getVariableData('userFault','userFault','/ns3:UserBpelFaultMessage/ns3:userCode'))"/>
          <to variable="Reply_userFault_OutVar"
               part="faultReturn"
               query="/ns10:outputDataType/ns10:EventLog/ns10:Event/ns10:result"/>
     </copy>
Makes sense?

I need suggestions for an online trading application

Hi,
I am going to develop an online trading application. I have decided to use JAVA EE 5 and I have read "The Java(tm) EE 5 Tutorial". Because I am a (C++) programmer and new to Java, I need suggestions to start development.
Here is summary of the system in my mind. There will be
a database to store user's information and operations,
a web client for creating and managing user accounts,
a desktop application and web client for users for online trading and
an application client for brokers for risk management.
Here is a sample scenario for flow,
- User wants to create an account
- Company creates an account for user
- user gets the prices and trades via application client (web or desktop)
- system informs dealers and broker via their client platform
- broker perform necessary operations.
Java EE 5 Application model fits the system I am trying to develop but I feel I still need some guidance and there are a few things I couldn't figured out yet. For these reasons I want to develop a prove of concept system and this is the system in my mind.
- A simple database
user (user_id, user_login, user_password, user_name)
stock (stok_id, stok_name)
operation (op_id, user_id, stok_id, op_type, op_amount, op_value)
- A price server
will generate random prices and push new values to registered clients
- A web client to create new users (for admin)
- A web client to display operations of users (for user)
- A desktop application and web client for operation entries (for users)
displays prices coming from price servers, sends users trade requests
- A desktop application client for informing admin about trades (for admin)
when a user buys or sells something, this client notified (user buy/sell something)
What do you offer for this sample system?
Which is the best IDE?
Which Application Server should I use (scalability and speed is critical)?
Which Java EE APIs should I use?
JSP or JSF?
Will I need hibernate?
And so on.. I need some points to start and go.
Thanks for any help.

It wouldn't be an arbitrary track. However, maybe you could make an arbitrary track by dividing the track into segments. Each segment is either a straight line or an arc. These are easy to model the cars' behavior on, because you'll have a straightforward way to determine the direction the car should be facing, and the range to the left and right where the car can stray and still be on the track.

Monthly charge for High speed internet vacation period (suspension)

I talked to two agents regarding with temporarily suspending my high speed internet service, and I just found out I was getting charged monthly $10 during the suspension periold, which the two agents never mentioned.
Why did I get the wrong information from the 2 agents even though I made sure with them couple of times I will not be charged during the suspension on the phone. Now I am disconnecting verizon internet service. And I will disconnect my verizon phone service with my wife next year when the contact is over.
One more thing, I can not file complaint anywhere about this issue in the verizon website, which I found out they made it impossible in their website. Other verizon users mentioned it in the forum. There is no such thing about filing complaint in their company. Good luck.
Good bye verizon kingdom.

Options for high speed internet connection. . .anyone tried Directv?

Just relocated to a black hole of communications. . . Sprint telephone provider does not provide high speed service in my area. Town about 10 miles away has wireless access but not good for me. . . have new intel 20" Imac and now using apple external modem. . .good connection with aol but slow and would like to do better. I have Directv which is persistently touting their internet service. Anyone have experience with that? What are my other options, if any?

I have had DirecWay (soon to be HughesNet) for a year. I have the Pro account ($69/mo) with 1000/200 kb/s D/U and a 350MB download bucket which refills at 56 kb/s. That is about 350 MB per 16 hour period. It has been reliable. Heavy snow will stop like with DirecTV, but with dish low enough to sweep the snow off corrects this. Speeds vary, but is always better than dial-up. We had 18.8 kb/s on a very good day with dial-up.
However! The latency is high, 700-900ms. This delay is annoying, it takes a few seconds before your page come up. "Twitch" games don't play well. Other than that it is great.
I kept waiting for DSL or anything but it never came. My only regret is that I should have gotten it sooner.
For a Direcway discussion board go to http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/sat
Remember that most who post there have problems and are looking for answers.

Need suggestion for USB Bluetooth Adapter for HP Z230 Workstation

I've just purchased an HP Z230 Workstation, with an I7 processor. I need to equip it with Bluetooth capability so that I can connect the computer to an old Palm Tungsten T2.
