ProRes - how many Gigabytes per hour?

I'm wanting to use ProRes for a project. I'm not sure I'm understanding the articles written about it - which state it has less of a storage footprint than SD? I'm trying to calculate how much storage space I'll need for a project that may have more than 100 hours of material ... if I convert everything to ProRes?
All ears,
Ben

Got my very own Aja calculator. Thank you. To know what the ProRes will require do I set the calculator to NTSC 8 bit (the only SD format I can see in the choices)?
Then you don't have the latest one. The latest one lists PRORES as an option.
the idea of capturing 5-10 hours (in ProRes)
Can't do that with DV and VHS without a capture device. And HDV as ProRes requires special steps.
then 'rendering' out (in ProRes) only the selects to create a new 'media' folder for all the material we might actually USE in the edit... am I being naive?
You are being naive. Sorry...you are throwing around concepts and ideas with no real understanding of them, nor ability to follow them thru. NO capture card...no ProRes. HDV as ProRes, yes, but that's it. BetaSP requires a capture card too.
You need to figure out a LOT of things here...especially if you will be working with HD and SD sources. A lot of ducks to get in a row. And you will need to start investing in more hardware if you want to get serious about this. Or you can capture as DV and use Compressor to upconvert later...and spend weeks doing it.
There is WAY too much to go into on a forum post...

How many gigabytes for 5 hours of HD video.

I am about to rent a Nikon D7000 DSLR camera so to shoot a 5-6 hours conferance. My question is how many gigabytes of SD card storage may I need ? I will be recording HD video at 1920x1080 at 24fps. It shoots MOV codec H264. Take up to 2 SD cards.
Thanks in advance.

You'll need about 65GB @24 Mbps for 6 hours. (I believe that 24 Mbps is the max bit rate for the Nikon; had to look it up.)

What type and how many gigabyte external hard drive do I get for my iMac?

What brand and what features and how many gigabytes do I need in an external hard drive for my new imac?

I am sure if I spent the time reading those pages, I would lose more time than I would save with a Firewire drive if I ever had to do a complete restore. If you ever have to do a complete restore, just run it overnight. Do like I do, save your money, maybe buy some Apple stock, and you will make more than enough to compensate yourself for the extra time it might take.
The only time you might need extra drive speed is for the operating system, or if you do a lot of heavy graphics and video work, or do a lot of work on a disk-based database. (If speed is an issue with a database, consider using memory-based software instead.) Backup is not on that list, unless having the computer up and running is so critical that you should be using a RAID backup system instead. For the vast majority of computer users, speed will not be an issue. After all, many people backup to Time Capsules over WiFi, and that is slower than USB2.
When it comes to backup, people should be speedy about getting a backup drive. If the extra cost of Firewire causes a delay doing that, it could easily cost more time and trouble than the extra speed will ever save them.

How many gigabytes do I need free on my iphone4 to upgrade to ios7 ?

Then update using iTunes on your computer. You'll be fine & you don't have to delete anything. You only need that much free space if you update OTA. Once the update is done, you get the space back. So, use your computer.

Finally I solved my problem(getting as many images as possible from a url infinitely) using the above code:
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class UserApplication {
    private static int n=0;
    String url;
public void UserApplication(){
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        UserApplication app= new UserApplication();
        for(;;){
        app.urlStr();
    private void urlStr(){
        try{
            url= "http://mplamplampla/frame.php/";
            HttpURLConnection con=(HttpURLConnection) ((new URL(url).openConnection()));
            BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream( new FileOutputStream("C:\\Users\\mpla\\Desktop\\" + n + ".jpeg"));
            con.setDoInput(true);
            con.setDoOutput(false);
            con.setRequestMethod("GET");
            BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(con.getInputStream());
            int bt = 0;
            byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
            while ((bt = in.read(buffer, 0, 4096)) > -1) {
              out.write(buffer, 0, bt);
            in.close();
            out.close();
            System.out.println("Image " + n + " saved");
            n++;
            } catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}

IOS: How many updates per year allowed?

Hey Folks,
Is there a hard limit to how many app updates that Apple allows in the course of a year?
Any first-hand perspectives would be greatly apprectiated.
Thanks much,
Px

I don't think there's a limit to the number of times you can update your app, Apple should allow every update as long as it's an improvement like new features or bug fixes etc

How many Gigabytes can Mail folders hold?

Outlook can hold a total of 20 GB of emails. How many GB of emails can I have stored in my Inbox and Sent items on my computer? Can someone quote a link to a support doc that confirms same?
Thanks
Message was edited by: Johnny MacHappy

Johnny,
The only thing written that I know of, is for individual mailboxes, and for 10.4 and later is 2 GB as outlined at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1895
Basically I was the person who proved to Apple that overstuffing actually took place -- that was back in 2004, and OS 10.2, and 10.3.
When and if any Inbox or Sent even starts to approach 2 GB, I create new On My Mac mailboxes for the oldest date ranges in that mailbox, and move the messages to new mailbox. All the messages are still within reach of the Search. I have over 100,000 messages spread across many mailboxes.

Netbooting - how many clients per server?

Hello,
I am looking in to having mac mini server (current version/dec 2012) to host about 60 clients, majority as netbooters, also maybe with a couple of extra remote VPN clients.
However besides gigabit ethernet connection defined here as the requirement, there is no note of how many servers would I need for netbooting the clients?
Does anyone have experience with this kind of setup? (similar to a kiosk environment)
Thanks in advance.

I would be concerned if more than 20 clients were trying to netboot at the same time. Theoretically, you'd be okay with perhaps 200 clients as long as you could be sure that wasn't going to happen.
Under normal conditions, ignoring maintenance and other unusual occasions ... are these clients booting
once a day every morning, roughly at the same time as each other
twice a day, but a random unsynchronised times, no more than 5 at a time
only when power has been disconnected (rare)
I gave three examples, but if you want to describe your situation more closely that may prompt someone familiar with that kind of setup.

How many CS per computer?

I know the EULA states that you can install a product on 2 systems (as long as you are the only user, and not at the same time), but how many versions of products can you put on?
Here's my situation: I have Design CS5, and was thinking of upgrading to Production CS5.5, but I was wondering if I could keep Design CS5 on my system (or my other system) as well? Or, does my upgrade cancel out my CS5 license and use?
Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to tell how many gigabytes my music in iTunes 11 has? It used to be on the bottom of itunes but is no longer there...

I downloaded Itunes to my macbook and I am looking for a way to tell how much space my itunes takes up. In the old itunes it told you on the bottom of the player what amount of space your music libray took up. Is there a way to do this with the new itunes?

Thank you for the feedback. If you have any other questions, please
start a new thread and some one will answer.

How many gigabytes should I get?

I am looking to buy an new iPhone. I am wondering whether to get 16GB or 32GB. I take a lot of pictures (which i download to iPhoto on my Macbook) and have a lot of Apps but that is it. Which do you think would be best?

32 is better than 16.
A good technique to use is guess what you are likely to need, then double it.
If you want hundreds of songs, dozens of apps, and a couple of movies: 16 GB
If you want thousands of songs, hundreds of apps, and several movies: 32 GB
If you have more money than time to think about this any more: 64 GB
This may help you decide: How much content will fit on my iPod or iPhone?

8ft x 4ft poster...but how many dots per inch for images?

I've read a online somewhere a while back that the bigger the end product, the less the amount of dots per inch needed. is this true? if so, when do I start changing from 300dpi for A3 sizes to smaller DPI's on larger size prints?
is there a way to calculate this? I'm always thinking it might for spending less ink on the larger size prints, etc
and what should I use for a 8x4ft poster when:
1. people are gonna see it up close
2. when the closest they get would be about 4-5 feet away
with this particular poster, people are gonna be up close.
thanks for any info

hummm....I would'nt want to work on an 8ft x 4ft banner at s/s size on a 21" inch screen, each to his/her own I guess.
I don't see where that would make any difference in working with the file, but it sure makes it convenient for printing. I work on lots of full size banners all the time. The only time a make them less than full size is when I am working on something bigger that 18' which is IDs maximum size.
But doing them half size at 300 dpi is fine to. You just need to be careful that your graphics are not to low a resolution or you will be in for some surprises from IDs output, especially if you trying res-up when printing.
I was really trying to suggest its easier to move around on screen if the artwork is not size for size.
I guess everyone has their own particular way of working. I don't even produce A2 output at s/s size. I'll do that at either A4 or A3.
I agree with the low res graphics. I don't seem to have any issues with just supplying 300dpi for any sized output to be honest. I've produced largish exhibition stands and A4 hand-outs from the same file. Seems to work ok for me.
