Panasonic HDC-TC900 - was this the right choice?

I know that this is a discussion forum for FCP, but hopefully someonce can answer  my question.  I lobbied hard for this camera because 1) I liked the idea of the hard drive 2) I wanted to upgrade to HH 3) it had 3 mos technology versas Sony 1. I had talked to someone who had the 700 version and was very happy with it.  Unfortunately I did not ask about particulars.  Now I find that it only records in HD (1920x1080) and iFrame which is 960x540; there is no inbetween, no 1280x720. 
I am not a professional but I do a fishing trip each year (for which I am the documentarian) and I record or things such as my grandchildren's baseball games.
So, did I make the right decision?
Thanks,
WilliamL

I like 1280x720 a great deal.
The Panasonic HVX-200 records 720p24 that looks quite nice even on 42" or larger plasma TVs.
The key thing here is that the camera offers a crisp image. This has as much to do with the optics as the pixel depth.
If the output is headed to youtube and/or DVD, 720p offers a great alternative to 1080i.

  • Oracle DataMart is this the right choice?

    I currently have a project that is creating Access formatted
    files and comma delimited files. Via another application these
    files are deposited on a network files server at changing
    intervals of time. I've attended the 2-day Oracle Datamart
    integration course and I beleive that possibly the Datamart tools
    used to pull data into Oracle would be the way to go. Does anyone
    have an opinion?
    My first choice would be to modify the application which
    originally created the Access files and have it Log-On to Oracle,
    but that is not something I can have done. Is their possibly a
    migration tools that could help?

    Charles,
    This feedback has come in from one of our consultants in
    the field. I hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Marie
    >>>>>
    1) The Data Mart Suite is very suitable for taking data out of
    MS Access and flat files and storing them in Oracle. That I have
    done several times.
    2) I had one customer that successfully migrated his MS Access
    application to an Access application running on top of Oracle.
    There was just one issue regarding the ODBC used with Access. He
    had certain Access programs that stayed within Access and then
    used ODBC to get to Oracle. Since the defaults by Microsoft
    are very SQL Server specific they did not work well for Oracle.
    As a result the Oracle solution was running a lot slower than
    SQLServer. However, once we established the optimal settings
    Oracle ran approx. ten times faster than SQLServer.

  • Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use  cmd+ r  when restarting. Is this the right way?

    Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r  when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

    Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
    Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
    No idea why that was suggested.
    You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.

    Yahoo is my homepage, I have been using Firefox for years but when I downloaded Firefox 4 my yahoo email was on the right in place of page options and I liked it better, it was there for a while but now it has gone back to the old way on the left, why is this

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

  • MacBook Air: the right choice for a College student?

    Hello there!
    I'm buying my first Apple laptop in the near future (probably tomorrow as I like to buy things in store and not online and I live roughly 75 miles from the nearest Apple store and am heading to the mall it's located in on a shopping trip tomorrow, anyway). I currently have a 3 year old Dell that has no battery life at all (it has to be connected 24/7 to an outlet, the mouse clicky button doesn't work, it overheats, and the hardrive has already been replaced not once but twice) and I don't use it for anything other than school, facebook, watching movies via netflix, skype, and listening to music. I've been doing months of research and all has lead me to Apple.
    I want this laptop to last me until I am done with my masters and into the first couple years of my teaching career, so roughly 6 years. Is that too much to ask from this machiene?
    I'm inlove with the thiness, lightness and portability of the Macbook Air. I use my laptop a lot, this semester I'm finishing out my core requirements and a lot of them are "bullsh*t" classes where I can do nothing and get an A. I would therefore have my laptop with me, I also bring it to friends rooms to study and relax. My goal is to have a laptop that I can write papers, continue to watch movies and use it as a basic machiene. I barely use a cd drive (my aunt is willing to by the drive that goes with the Air) but when I do it's just for burning music to my itunes. I want a machiene that will have a long lasting battery life - that's my biggest concern.
    My roomate has a Macbook Pro and keeps telling me that I'd hate the Air.
    I've read that people do not like it as it does not have a backlit keyboard. That doesn't bother me as my keyboard currently isn't backlit.
    I've also read that people continue to prefer the pro over the air but I am not a fan of the pro just as it is so much bigger.
    I barely ever use my USB drive, when I do its to transfer over files that need to be printed.  So having only two of them means nothing to me really.
    I'm just looking for assistance to help me make my decision. I feel like I already made it but I just want to be sure that I'm making the right choice.
    My personal pros/cons:
    Pros: lightweight, small, highly portable, amazing webcam, excellent battery life
    Cons: it's so thin I feel like I would snap it in two pieces
    Thank you so much!

    Listen to us, Lovekate!
    We know you're eager, but hold out just a little longer--maybe a week or two--for the update! Please! It's the smart thing to do because it may give you options you can use. Kate! Look away from the machines. This way! This way! You can do this. If you don't, you'll feel buyers remorse and that's not good. Hold off. You'll be happy you did...also, don't forget, when you do buy, you get a student discount.
    From what you say, you've found the computer you love and don't need any encouragement from us. But here's advise for what you can say to your friends:
    (1) To those telling you to get the Pro--you are not going to buy more than you need. With Clouds, and online mail and external hard drives, there is no need for you to haul around anything made heavy with a huge hard drive you'll never fill up. And the Air can do anything a Pro can do excepting update to a bigger hard drive (which you've just explained you don't need--like you don't need the CD drive). And the 13" actually has a longer lasting battery than the 13" Pro.
    (2) Why should you get a computer you don't love, and therefore is no fun or joy for you to work on, rather than a computer you love, which you will love working on? Apple rule, "Always get what you love." 
    (3) To your Dad, you are buying something very like a car. And like a car, if you buy one cheap, it will cost you if it breaks down, needs repairs, or needs replacing. Needing to buy a new cheap car every other year can add up to the same cost as buying a new car that will last you ten years. You are buying a computer that will last you, be reliable, and not need repairs thus interfering with your productivity (by the way, get Apple Care--adds two more years warranty for a total of 3 years--trust us on this. If you can't afford it now, you can hold off buying it till the end of the first year, but do get it!). Apple computers also have good resale value.
    In short, as much as it costs, it will be worth it.
    Hope that helps, and remember...hold out! or if you've already bought it--you have 14 days to return it.

  • RMI: Is it the right choice?

    I want to make an application that connects to 1 other peer. So I'd run the application and if I type in the IP of someone else running the same application, we can connect to each other and do stuff like chatting. Is RMI the right choice to make this happen?

    I would use Apache MINA library. Its easy to use, fast, more firewall friendly than RMI, more language-independent transmission format. http://mina.apache.org/
    Really. Where does it say that MINA knows a firewall from third base?
    Mina is a Java NIO library that just does TCP and UDP communications and intra-process pipes.
    It's not a competitor for RMI in any sense that I'm aware of.

  • The right choice

    hey, i have been reading around this site a. Is there no live chat at all for support or sales to discuss the best solution?? anyway.. i need some help making the right choice and setup with skype for my small business.
    There is two employees currently, we would like to have our own company number so we dont have to use our personal mobile numbers. if i am out of the office or just in general i can forward the calls to my mobile, or turn on the answering machine.I understand skype can do this.
    is my undertsanding correct for the following-->
    1--Me and my business partner both download skype for business.
    2--One of us downloads skype manager ( or is it a cloud thing?)
    3--Skype manager then adds both of our "skype for business" accounts to the skype manager
    4--Manager can then allocate funds
    5-- we both use skype for business as normal
    Q--how do i use skype business or skype manager, and have the premium membership etc., and what would this cost me per month ( australian)
    Q--how does a skype phone number work when you have two employees?
    Q--Are the skype numbers associated to the business account or the skype manager account
    Q--do i even need skype manager for just two employees when really only one person will
    make most of the calls.
    I may have this understanding wrong, and maybe someone can tell me a more effecient way for my small business to set up skype etc?
    thanks for the help

    Hi Martin
    With all you've said, the only advice I can give you is "go ahead"!

  • Is it the right choice to make ODI as ETL on OBIEE?

    Hi ,
    I have multiple source (file,xml,progress,express)
    And target is oracle (warehouse)
    Can ODI make the dimensional table from the multiple source?
    Can ODI do support the OLAP ? which way?
    Is it the right choice for DW with OBIEE?
    Sorry if this question will shown my foolish about BI.
    because I once use ODI on Data Integration part not BI part.
    Thank you

    Cristiano,
    My first suggestion is to rename your file. The "%20" in "cSegno%20flash%20page.html" indicates you actually saved it as "cSegno flash page.html." Spaces are not a good thing in file names. Better to use hypens or underscores when yon want to delineate word separation, like this (mixing the two conventions in one example): "cSegno-flash_page.html."
    I believe your site can be recreated using Dreamweaver to write the HTML and CSS, and can probably be affected using hot spots or jquery. Check out jquery solutions here. Whether you yourself can do the conversion will depend upon your coding skills. And people here will be happy to help.

  • Is this the right to use or for iOS can use dynamic google maps embeded(can be embedded fo iOS)

    function displayMap(e) {
    var title = e.data.title,
        latlng = e.data.lat + ',' + e.data.lng;
    if (typeof device !='undefined' && device.platform.toLowerCase() == 'android') {
    window.location = 'http://maps.google.com/maps?z=16&q=' + encodeURIComponent(title) + '@' + latlng;
    } else {
    $('#map h1').text(title);
    $('#map div[data-role=content]').html('<img src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=>' + latlng + ' &zoom=16&size=320x420&markers=' + latlng + '&sensor=false">');
    $.mobile.changePage('#map', 'fade', false, true);
    my phonegap (Adobe press, Powers jQuery with dw 5.5) book (old book (c)2010-11) says for above code: // is this valid for today, is this the right to use or for iOS can use dynamic google maps embeded(can be embedded fo iOS)???
    On iOS, calling window.location loads the map directly
    into the app. That’s great until you realize that iOS devices
    don’t have a Back button, so there’s no way to exit the
    map. To get round this problem, I loaded a static map as
    an image in the map page block. It’s not interactive, but at
    least you can continue using the Travel Notes app after
    viewing the map by clicking the Back button generated by
    jQuery Mobile.

    Well, this took me a while to get solved, but it is indeed solved.
    I tried USB Overdrive and it could, and perhaps should work, but apparently it will not. When adding a device, it seems that USB Overdrive is not set up to handle any input device that does not register itself as either a Mouse or a Joystick. The VEC USB Footpedal that I'm using is "Device type: Other".
    So, I went for Quickeys. And Quickeys can do it all. It did recognize the device, I was able to assign it to the scope of the particular audio playback app I wanted to use (Amazing Slow Downer OS X - which is truly amazing. Any musicians reading this who are looking for a way to learn pieces by ear, this does it better than anything else I've seen yet).
    I created a shortcut in Quickeys for the ASD app; added the middle button of the foot pedal as the trigger; set one step, entering 'space bar' as the step (which toggles playback, similar to many audio players).
    It all worked.
    Quickeys is very confusing and seemingly featured with an endless array of options. Enter at your own risk. Ask me for help. This was the only way to get it done that I could find. I did write to the author of USB Overdrive asking him to please support additional devices as I did find some traction from gamers who like to use a foot pedal in addition to other input devices. There was a Windows-only management utility for the foot pedal that was intended for custom input, assigning the buttons to any keyboard input or mouse click event. It would be nice to have a simple and easy to use utility like this. But, Quickeys did do the job.
    Thanks for your help, you guys!!!

  • Is this the right way - 9i

    I have schema 'A' with few large and many small non-partition tables. I created another schema 'B' identical to 'A' and the only difference was that I partitioned the large tables resulting a combination of partitioned and non partitioned tables in schema 'B'.
    I exported schema 'A' and imported it into 'B'. My question is, IS this the right way or I should done something else.
    Thx

    It would depend on the your goals, but I'd suspect that you would want to create most of the same indexes and views in the new schema. If you're partitioning the tables, though, you would have to give serious thought to how to define the indexes-- should they be global or local, should they be equipartitioned with the underlying tables, etc.-- which exporting and importing wouldn't resolve.
    If the end goal of this exercise is just to produce the same schema with partitioned tables, transition any code & applications to the partitioned schema, and then drop the unpartitioned schema, creating the new schema just adds extra work. Create partitioned tables in the same schema (with slightly different names), load the data, create appropriate indexes, and then ALTER TABLE ... RENAME everything so that the partitioned tables now have the old non-partitioned table names.

  • Is Netweaver the right choice?

    We have recently upgrading our portal/webdynpro server to NW 7.0 Support Stack 14 (J2EE only).  While this stack level fixed some issues that we were having (in particular cleanup of JCO pools to prevent expired SSO ticket errors) it also introduced some other problems with Oracle.  This has led us to the discussion of whether Netweaver is the right choice for our custom application development environment. I'm posting this to get some feedback on what other companies are doing with their Netweaver enviroments.  I'm particularly interested in custom application development using webdynpro and the Netweaver Portal.
    We've been running various permutations of the Netweaver platform since 2005 (BI, Portals, and now ERP).  We are using a single J2EE instance to host the SAP EP, a custom jsp "intranet", and our webdynpro apps (we have 6 custom webdynpro apps).  Our user base is somewhere between 150-250 users.  We use the portal to access these custom apps, our BW web templates, and some SAP transactions.  With the rolllout of some of these custom apps, our portals environment is now becoming mission critical and we seem to continue to have problems with the stability of the J2EE engine on the portal machine.
    Are other customers having stability problems with NW04s?  Are other customers using web dynpro and SAP's enterprise portal for Mission Critical applications?  If so, what do your environments look like?  If not, what are you using for custom applications that communicate with SAP and other systems?
    Thanks for any and all input

    Assuming your legacy apps don't need to update the new OM system an MDB sounds reasonable. You may want to consider passing the messages as XML and using a library (JAXB/P, castor etc) for parsing / inserting into a database.
    You should also work out how to handle technical failures updating the legacy database and poison messages (i.e. when an invalid message is received). You may decided to automatically retry technical failures a set number of times before moving them to a backout queue. There's no point retrying poison messages as they'll repeatedly fail, but you may need to fix / manually insert them.

  • Is MDB the right choice?

    We currently have a legacy order management application which is going to be replaced by a popular off-the-shelf OM product. The data modeling and concepts of the new OM application are different from the legacy application. Currently there are quite a few applications which directly connect to the legacy DB by JDBC etc for their data needs. In order to avoid impact on those applications it has been decided to keep the legacy DB as it is and feed the data from new Order Mangement application to the legacy application. We cannot use DB level replication due to some constraints. I am planning to create the new application, using MDB. It will subscribe to the messages generated by the business events happening in the new Order Management application, translate the data to legacy format and insert the data into legacy DB.
    Is MDB the right choice for this or do we have a more appropriate way of doing this?
    Also please let me know if there are any desing patterns which address this kind of a problem.

  • Is this the right program for me?

    I need a program that'll work very well with all of my audio equipment for recording. I need something that is easy to use, but still has nice results. I plan on uploading my recordings as MP3s to a musician myspace. Is this the right thing to purchase?

    Jake, one man's perspective. Your mileage may vary:
    I came to Logic via Garageband, and some experience with ProTools from around five or six years ago. After the usual setup headaches that, quite honestly, were more due to my inexperience than any inherent Logic lameness, I am up and running and quite happy with it.
    I think I benefit from the fact that I pick up new technologies/gadgets/what have you very quickly. In addition, this being the first pro-level recording application I've worked with, I'm pretty much a blank slate -- I can't say "Man, logic f-in ***** compared to Cubase/ProTools/etc." Maybe it does; maybe it doesn't. I just have no real frame of reference, so it's all new and cool to me.
    Also, I suspect my needs are fairly simple relative to the pros on this board. I do guitars/bass/ mando/vox audio, keys and drums (Addictive Drums, yeah!) software instruments, usually about 12-16 tracks. (Musically my stuff is a combo of Django Reinhardt and Black Sabbath, all those minor 6ths doncha know; I also orchestrate stuff written by a friend of mine who's a post-grunge dude from Seattle.)
    I'm totally excited with the sonic possibilities Logic has offered. I love tinkering around with the different plugins/instruments etc to achieve just the right little ear tickle *******. I'm now listening to music in a different way -- and having these little "Oh, that's how Jimmy Page did it! I can do that!" moments which is a pretty awesome experience. Being able to listen to old music in new ways is always a good thing.
    And seriously, for the price I am not sure you can beat it -- the basic studio environment, plus software instruments, plus loops. For a (fairly accomplished) parkin'-lot picker and DIY'er who's doing the Myspace thing, it's everything I want.
    But as to Logic's industrial strength, and applicability to professional environments, I gotta defer to the pros on the board.
