Pixelation with use of miniDV Panasonic NV-DX100 camera

My old, but very good, camera Panasonic NV-DX100 gives an extreme pexelation or/and skewness when used with OnLocation. All updates done, pc a brandnew HP 5230W laptop workstation.
Any suggestions?
Yours Knud Lindholm Lau, Copenhagen

Is this just in the preview monitor or in the recorded files too? Your camera is PAL, correct? Make sure the file you're writing is the correct PAL resolution.

How do I use a Panasonic HDD Video Camera with an iBook?

We just bought a Panasonic SDR-H40P without even thinking that there would be any problem using it with a Mac. We recorded some videos, then proceeded to try and download them to the computer only to find that they are written in .mod, which the computer will not recognize. The software that comes with the camera is for PCs only. So, after doing some research, I downloaded the trial version of DropDV. and got the files off the camera via the provided USB. It did convert some of the files (supposedly into an iMovie format). Some of the videos we took work fine. Some are missing. Some seem to be in slow motion.
Is there a different program to use or another way to get these .mod (and .moi) files to work/open on our Mac? We have some videos of a baby that his grandparents would love to be able to see!

From what I've found through reading the topic in several digital movie
forums, you should be able to use iMovie and have it import the file
from the camera for use and editing in the Mac.
This path may be version dependent for best results; and I am not
sure which versions of iLife's iMovie would be best for use with the
digital camera and also may be compatible with the older Mac iBook.
Some Panasonic digital video cameras are also seen by iPhoto and
in some cases, that can find the movie file and import it for iMovie.
And there are other Panasonic video devices which create the same
kinds of files, and there is a free or shareware software out there to
help use them. This may include players by third parties and others
which may be able to edit digital movie files.
In some digital movie forums, there is an awareness of Panasonic
products not necessarily being the best supported for Mac OS X;
while many pro users of Panasonic products have Macs, among
them are newer Intel Mac users with Parallels, BootCamp, etc
and they can run XP or Vista-ready software. If this is (still) true,
then Panasonic may be missing out; since modern products
should have support in their retail box for both major platforms.
Some Panasonic products have shipped with Mac software for
several years now; along with Windows software. Some didn't.
Hopefully iMovie can see the Panasonic digital movie files; if the
iBook can support the feature set of iMovie. Some aspects of
this part of iLife require the ability to record to DVD media and
also may require more system assets & resources than you have.
Good luck & happy computing!

Pixel Dimensions after Cropping with "Use Photo Ratio"

Why don't Pixel Dimensions (and Document Size) change for Image Size after cropping with "Use Photo Ratio" like it does after cropping with "No Restriction"? Using Photoshop Elements 10 and Crop Tool defaults.

Thank you all. I think I figured out how to crop using "Use Photo Ratio"
with Crop tool so that I can ensure that my photos are cropped only
proportionately and PSE 10 doesn't upsample pixels:
1) Select Crop tool.
2) Set "Use Photo Ratio" in Aspect Ratio setting in Options bar if not
already set.
3) Make crop selection as usual but don't complete (commit) crop. Will
only be able to crop proportionately.
4) When ready to complete crop, change Aspect Ratio setting to "No
Restriction" which blanks out width, height and resolution setting.
5) Complete (commit) crop as usual.
Photo will be cropped proportionately, width and height will change
automatically to cropped size and pixels will not be upsampled avoiding
lose of detail, that is, PSE will behave as though No Restriction had been
specified from the outset. Blanking width and height before making crop
selection forces either Custom or No Restriction setting which means that
PSE will let me make non-proportional crop.
PS. IMHO I think making "Use Photo Ratio" force upsampling is NOT a good
"design feature" when you are not warned about it and are not given a
choice to not make it upsample.

Using a Panasonic HPX-370 Camera, trouble with formats

We are using a Panasonic HPX-370 camera with FMLE via firewire to a Mac laptop. We can only get FMLE to recognize the signal from the camera at 1280 x 720 59.94i with a frame rate of 60i using the DVCPROHD codec. We really would like to set the camera to SD, something like 720 x 480 at 29.97 or possible squeeze for 16:9 possibly using DVCPRO50 or DVCPRO25 but FMLE won't recognize the video signal at anything by 1280x 720 60i using DVCPROHD. Our client is only purchasing 1MB bandwidth at the venues for events so SD would be best for webcasts. We also back up to P2 cards so you can imagine that 8 hours at DVCPROHD in that size is a mammoth amount of data to back on hard drives.
We are very new to FMLE, any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi anne adshead
Welcome to apple discussions. Might be too new of a camcorder to tell (you'll have to tell us) but here's what I found so far:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3290
It is listed within apple's KB. But as to how much apple support it offers? .... I'm not sure.
http://panasonic.net/avc/camcorder/sd/america/products/sdr-s26/specifications.ht ml
The convenience of the SDHC format makes it is easy to transfer files. The S26 offers Mass Storage support – connect with a USB lead and your Mac sees all the files.
But here ends the Apple support. Video is recorded in the .MOD format (also used by JVC Everio camcorders) which Mac apps don't recognise. You can change the extension manually (or by batch command) to .M2V so that VLC plays it.
For iMovie and elsewhere, you'll need a conversion app such as Aimersoft Video Converter. Is it too much effort for what you get?

Green images pixelated with black when opening in CS6

Hi there,
I have just come across a puzzling problem.
I am editig some images of furniture I have taken. All images are OK apart from green ones? When I open them in PS CS6 they are havily pixelated on screen with black. When I save the image for web, the preview that opens up, then image is fine again. It seems to be just an on screen, in PS problem.
Any idea how to solve this, it's very annoying!
Thanks,
John

It's AMD that have been doing the tweaking/correcting. Catalyst 13.1 can be problematic for any version of Ps that uses OpenGL although you may not have exposed the problems until yesterday. Your example image shows the bug where a pixel with red component of zero is displayed as completely black.

IMAQ Quantify rseults with use of image mask are not of the right regeons

I'm using the IMAQ quantify VI from labview to analize a binairy image. This binairy image is an 8bit image that consists only of pixels with the value 0 or 1. The places of the binairy image where the pixels have the value 0, mean that a corresponding image has not data in that place. A pixel value of 1 means that there is data that should be processed later in the program in the corresponding image.
The quantify function is also used to devide the image in 666 regeons with the use of the image mask input. These regeons are squares of 22x22 pixels. The image mask consists of 666 regeons (horizontally 74 sqaures, vertically 9 sqaures) and each of the regeons has his own regeonal number. The resulting regeonal report is used to decide whether each regeon has data in it or not, with the use of the mean value in the report. When the mean value is equal to 0 than it is sure that there is no data in that regeon since all the pixels in the regeon have to have the value of 0. If the mean is not 0 at least one of the pixels in that regeon has the value of 1, wich means that there is data in the regeon. The image mask is created from an 2D array wich is converted to an 16 bit image with the use of IMAQ ArrayToImage.
I've checked that the input data is correct: the binairy image consist of only 1 and 0 values, the image mask is consist of 666 sqaures of 22x22 pixels and each sqaure has pixels in it with the value corresponding to the regeonal number of the sqaure, the binairy image and the image mask have the same size, the image mask is an 16 bit image and both images have the same border size (3).
Two problems occur:
1) The regeonal report doesn't consist of 666 elements, but of 665 elements (element 0 to 664)
2) The data in the regeonal report is not of the right area's. It looks like the data is shifted one to the right in the regeonal report array, the data in element 0 isn't from regeon 0 but from regeon 1, element 1 corresponds to regeon 2, and so on. I'm haven't checked if the data is exactly of the next regeon, but I suspect it because of the regeonal report array being one short. But it is also possible that the regeons aren't placed on the right place in the binary image.
If someone else occured this problem with the IMAQ Quantify function or has a solution to it, I would really apreaciate a reply.

Isn't there anybody who encountered the same problem or with an solution?

Cannot email photos using a Panasonic DMC-ZS25 camera on PictBridge

Using a new Panasonic ZS25 camera for the first time , have been unable to successfully email photos. Computer screen shows progress bar filling after pressing "SEND", but immediately followed by message that attempt unsuccessful.
Using the alternative method of dragging photos to Desktop, and then dragging them into body of email message was successful. Why is iPhoto doing this ?

How does PictBridge fit into this ? New camera requires that I access PictBridge as a prelude to downloading and then sending photos by Mail.
Okay so how does iPhoto fit into this?
I'm no familiar with every camera brand, but I believe that Pictbridge is solely for printing, and his no role in simply getting the photos from your camera.
In Mail, note the toolbar at the top right. Click on the second from last button and your entire library is available to be dragged from...

Problems with drawRect and drawLine in connjunction with using scaling

Hi,
we have trouble with drawing rects and lines when using scaling. Using Java 1.6 Update 6 results in a different drawing than using 1.6_11. Lines and rects are sonetimes shifted one pixel with 1.6_11 while everything is ok using 1.6_06.
public void paint(Graphics g) // paint method of a subclass of Canvas
   ((Graphics2D)g).scale (0.99, 0.99);
   g.setColor(Color.black);
   for (int i=30; i<900; i+=31)
   g.drawRect (10, i, 150, 21);
   g.drawLine (10, i, 160, i);
}If scaling is deactivated, then the lines and rects are correctly positioned.
Any idea? Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Les,
Thank you! Yes, you are right. I have just found that topic you mean at [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=20&threadID=5409536|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=20&threadID=5409536]. Unfortunately the answer there is a little bit frustrating ;-(
I wonder why such a fundamental functionality does not work correctly for so many updates of Java. We are involved in engineering charting software and in this area it is strongly recommended to have exact diagrams. Otherwise the general appearance suffers too much.
What would be the best way to proceed? Send a report to Sun's bug database?

My brush tool erases pixels when used on layer mask

my brush tool erases pixels when used on layer mask instead of blocking out segments

Is the double frame around the Mask in the Layers panel?
Are you painting with black?
Is the Mode set to Normal in the Brush Options bar?
If your answer to these 3 questions is Yes, a logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

Imovie HD with Panasonic Digital Viedeo Camera Model NV-EX3??

I'm currently using Powerbook 15" 1.67Gz with Mac OS X version 10.4.3. Now I'm trying to connect my Panasonic Dital Video Camera Model NV-EX3 through Firewire. But it didn't work at all. IMovie simply doesn't detect my camera at all. Is there any way you can explain this to me. Are there any more drivers I need to download. Please kindly assist me in finding solutions to this.
Powerbook 15" 1.67Gz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM

I have the same problem. Using imovie 6 on the new intel imac. trying to import/connect the Panasonic NV-EX3 doesn't work. it recognizes that something hangs on firewire but doesn't recognize the camera.
Apple says ask Panasonic, they don't do drivers. Panasonic says ask Apple, thye don't have drivers for Apple.
Me, stuck in the middle. I thought you just connect a HD camera via firewire and you are in business.
Should I sell this one on Ebay and buy one that works? Which one would that is similar? don't want to get another one and end up with the same problem and unsupportive supliers.

I have bought itunes songs on an ipad with my daughter apple id. i would like to back them up on the same computer I sync my iphone with using my apple id but they will not transfer. Both iphone and ipad have only been synced on the computer mentioned since they were purchased. Is there any way to get the ipad music transferred to the computer?

And they were definitely purchased from the iTunes store, they show on the account's purchase history (Store > View Account on a computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com) ?
You could potentially log into the account on that computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out to log out of your account, that will then change to a Store > Sign In option) and redownload them by clicking on the id towards the top right of the iTunes screen and Purchased on the popup :
But that will potentially tie that computer to that account for 90 days : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
Or do you have a different computer that you could redownload them on and then copy them over to that computer via a flash drive or memory card, and then add them to its iTunes via File > Add To Library ?

Any issues with using LDAP on LINUX for GRC 5.2 UME?

Our company is converting our LDAP servers from AIX to LINUX. The DNS name used in our UME connection should not change. Are there any issues with using LDAP on LINUX? We are currently on GRC 5.2 SP9 (in the middle of upgrading to SP12).
Also, I have been trying to connect our test UME system to a test LDAP box that has already been converted to LINUX but keep getting a 'connection failed' error when I try to test it.
Do you have to reboot the server to test changing the LDAP connections? I've been trying it by going into UME, pulling up the LDAP tab, hitting the Modify button, entering the new userid and password for test LDAP, and hitting the Test Connection button. I've verified that this userid and password is correct for test LDAP.
Is there a way to get more information about why the connection failed?
Thanks.

I've been told by our LDAP Support group that none of the other configuration settings should have to be changed. I should only have to change the id and password to connect to a test version of LDAP instead of our regular connection to the production LDAP.
Can you test a connection for a different userid/password without having to reboot/restart the server? Do I need to change these two settings, save then, reboot/restart, and then do the Test Connection button?
Thanks.

Issues with using relative links in Captivate 8

Is anyone else having issues with using relative links in Captivate 8? These links all used to work in the previous version of Captivate. And I could have sworn this was fixed already once in Captivate 8 but it's popping up again for us. Here is the situation... We have courses that are made up of multiple lessons which as separate Captivate files. Within those lessons are buttons to link to external documents (which live in a shared document folder), demonstrations, etc. We use relative links because we post these to our amazon servers and we also sell them to clients where they can post them on their own web servers or in their LMS. SO we can't put in full paths for the links or we'd have to change them constantly. So an example is that the link for a button might be "../Document/nameofdoc.pdf" This would be going to a user guide or something that is posted in the "Document" folder that lives at the same level as the lesson's folder. But now, all of the sudden, none of our bazillion links is working. And I've tried buttons, hyperlinks, and even the old click box. Nothing works with relative links. And I did check the permissions on every file and folder on our Amazon server to verify nothing changed there as well. Any suggestions?

I have the same issue with relative links using Captivate 8. I am trying to load Captivate modules into an LMS using relative links to document files within the LMS. The links work fine during a site page test so not an issue in the LMS, but from the Captivate module they aren't working....
Help?

Please check with new version of TFTPD 32 server. The error may be due to older version of TFPT server, the new version available solved this error. Files are getting uploaded with no issues.
1. Download tftpd32b.zip from:
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html
2. Copy the tftpd32b.zip file into an empty directory and extract it.
3. Copy the file you want to transver into the directory containing tftpd32.exe.
4. Run tftpd32.exe from that directory. The "Base Directory" field should show the path to the directory containing the file you want to transfer.
At this point, the tftpserver is ready to begin serving files. As devices request files, the main tftpd32 window will log the requests.

ACS 5.3 Authorization problem with using Identity Groups in Access Policy Rule

Hello guys, I am found a problem which I can't solve regarding authorization with using Identity Groups in Access Policy rule.
ACS version: 5.3.0.40.6 (internal build B.839)
I have very simple RADIUS Authorization rule which authorize user on behalf of right Identity Group.
Requested Identity Group exist
Testing user is created in Internal Users and has assigned requested Identity Group
Radius Access Policy:
Authentication against Identity Store Sequence, where authorization server is external RSA SecurID device and additional attributes retrieval is configured from Internal Users.
Authorization is very simple – One Rule with only one Condition which is: Identity Group - in - Requested_Testing_Rule. Then Default rule is set to Deny.
When I will try login with my testing user then authentication against RSA SecurID is OK, but authorization will be denied by Default rule – It looks like my Rule with Identity Group is totally omitted.
I am managing several other ACS servers (version 5.3 but with older patches) where similar rules are working without problem.
What I am tested:
Remove testing user and create his account again.
Rename Identity Group
Use another Identity Group
Remove Access Policy rule and create it again
Use Compound Condition: System:Identity Group
Use Compound Condition: System:UserID instead of Identity Group in Rule (it is working without problem)
Do you have any idea where problem can be?

OK guys, it started working yesterday without any configuration change. Maybe it was some database inconsistence wich was solved by ACS itself.
