Question for Tom or someone "Broadcast Smart" - Re: FPS

With all the griping here and other places about playing and editing 50 or 60 FPS and the way I understand it it only shows 25 or 30 FPS on a television anyway, so what's the point? I know my new Samsung HD television supports 1080P but I really thought, being it runs at 120/240 Hz, that it would play p60 footage by doubling or quadrupling the footage.
Could you explain this to me?

There are a lot of others as well at higher resolutions in Blu-ray, but nothing is doing these yet, and may never do them. I don't think anything is encoding it or playing it back at the moment.
Why is everybody worked up about it? No idea. Maybe because it's new, and whatever is new can be used to sell new hardware.
There are completely conflicting views on frame rates. There is a vast school of thought that believes 23.976 or 24 are the ideal frame rates and should always be used. The opposite end of the spectrum says the higher frame rate is always better, i.e. 59.94. Probably the only thing most everyone agrees on is to a drive a spike in the heart of interlacing as soon as the technology is possible. iMovie's solution of dumping one field, while working towards that ideal, is perhaps not the best way to do it. Unfortunately interlaced formats are heavily entrenched and when HDV was developed, an ideal opportunity to do this, Sony developed exclusively interlaced cameras. JVC went with 720p, which I think was a much better solution. Sony of course is the 600lb gorilla and pretty much has its way with whatever format it works with. It's only now as we're getting even more heavily compressed formats like AVCHD that camera manufacturers, Sony included, are finally dumping interlacing. Which is long away around of asking, once you get rid of interlacing what do you do with the frame rate, just keep full fields as in 1080p30, or double up and get 1080p60? Now you've reached the point of aesthetics where you have to decide would looks better to your eye and works with what you're shooting and the way you're shooting, and your choices range from 23.976 to 59.94, with a few stops in between. Whatever you pick currently you're basically being forced to view at 29.97, until the technology catches up and hardware is built that will encode and deliver whatever is within the range of frame rates available in the specification.

Question for Tom Wolsky

Hello Tom,
Other than the price is there any difference between your Final Cut Pro X book and your online video training course for Final Cut Pro X?
This is a little off topic but I read you worked for ABC news and I was wondering if you knew or ever worked with Jules Bergman?
Thanks,
Mike

I never met him unfortunately. I spent most of my career in London.
The media for the two trainings is different, but they both cover the same territory. The online training more up to date tutorials as that can be updated, while the book has some extra instruction on my web site to cover updates to the software.

Basic questions for a self-taught re: HDV for SD HDV (yes again)

ok - like many others posting on this topic, I am apologising for going over what seems to be one of the most covered topics out there, that still isn't clear!
I am trying to teach myself DVD SP4 in the same way I did with FCP5 (trial, error and lots of forum searching). I am by no means a pro on FCP - but have certainly got enough understanding of it to have cobbled together 7 23 minutes episodes to broadcast! I have gone thought the DVD SP4 Manual and forums and lots of it just makes my brain ache - what mostly lets down my understanding are formats/compression/codecs.
So - my main questions (for now....)
-In DVD SP I couldn't import my QT movie into my assets list as it was an "incompatible format" - is this because it was HDV to a SD DVD Project? Doesn't the process of DVD SP encoding it as Mpeg 2 make is SD anyway?
-I read a post from someone in a similar situation, who advised exporting a HDV sequence as Uncompressed 8 Bit, and bringing that to DVD SP. So am doing that now (6 hours or so for a 23" sequence) and am hoping it gives a great looking picture, but I have seen from its preview icon that its a 720 x 576 frame - why is it not exporting in 16:9? or will it squeeze that down to normal once it's in DVD SP?
Really appreciate any understand you can help me with.
cheers
Hugh

Going back to my original questions - could the problem be a HD file in an SD project?
No. If you followed the workflow process from the above post you would have a SD mv2 file. The file should be playable in Quicktime and it should be 16:9.
EDIT: Yes. Reading back on your OP this question ->
In DVD SP I couldn't import my QT movie into my assets list as it was an "incompatible format" - is >this because it was HDV to a SD DVD Project? Doesn't the process of DVD SP encoding it as Mpeg 2 >make is SD anyway?
I believe that importing a HDV file into a SD project would give you that error but if you follow the above steps and import the mv2, AC3 files you should not get that error.
The reason you got three files is because that is how the preset group is made up. To be completely truthful I duplicated that preset, deleted the AIFF part and renamed the group. I now use that as my default settings when I bring any asset into Compressor.
As far as bring video assets (quicktime SD/HD, or other) into DVDSP in general you can do this but, what is happing is that in the background DVDSP is going through the steps from my above post and creating the mv2, AIFF, AC3 files for you (based on your preference setting in DVDSP) and then replacing the video files you brought in with the compressed files.
Can you play the mv2 file in quicktime? If not then something else must be going wrong.

Question for Apple: When do we get "Trackpad Click" in Boot Camp???

Parallels has it. VMWare Fusion has it. Why can't Boot Camp do 'trackpad click'???
I'm buggered if I can work out what was actually UPGRADED in BC 2.0 -- seems to work exactly the same as the beta versions.

Question for Apple
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html/
And FWIW, I hate trackpad click. Whenever I try to help someone on a laptop which has it on by default, I end up clicking on everything when I'm only trying to move the mouse pointer. So I'm ecstatic that Apple is smart enough to turn it off by default. But I agree that people who have been trained to use this horrible feature ought to have it as an option. But I'm hoping Apple provides the option of focus-follows-mouse for Mac OS X first.

Question for CL Forum Ad

I have been reading through this forum and there seems to be no shortage of upset customers. They all seems to be asking the same questions over and over again, and the only answer given is, "I'll post more information when I get it".
Now, I'm not a real tech savvy guy, but why is it not possible, to walk over to the desk of the head developer, and say, "Hey Steve, can you tell me why the new drivers are the same as the beta ones?"
And then walk back to your PC and type the answer here. I mean lets be honest, unless you are sending messages via snail mail, I don't understand why this is so hard to do. I suspect you HAVE the answers, but the big cheese at CL has told you to simply deflect the questions for now.
What I am trying to say is that by you saying you'll post information when you get it, does nothing but make your company look completely rag tag. It gives the impression that everyone just works part time from home, and they only meet every other Saturday for a softball game. There is no official statements from CL, you guys don't have any answers, no one knows when anything is being released or what it'll have in it...it just seems like the company is in shambles.
And this brings me to my second question. While you're slow to respond to questions about why things aren't working and such, but you are quicker than a fat man chasing a rolling donut down the street when someone advertises another brand, so my question is what do YOU recommend we do?
Can you suggest some solutions for all of the people who bought CL cards and have no working drivers? I would really appreciate if you didn't simply ignore, or skirt around this question.
I think it's time you threw us a bone here, if you're not going to give us any information, then at least give us some other alternati'ves.

Dude, honestly, I could care less what happened 0 years ago. I have said it before and I'll say it again for you, just because this type of thing keeps happening doesn't mean it's right.
When I buy a product from a company I don't do it thinking, "Hey, maybe if I buy this product then the $200 will help them become the best company in the world, and I don't care if it works or not, I just like the feeling of supporting companies in the hopes they'll do well!"
I buy products, and I expect them to work.
Regardless, if you had actually read my post, you would see that I'm not asking when the drivers will be out, or why they aren't... I am asking why this "world leader" in sound cards can't communicate effecti'vely with it's customers? I am asking why the Admins keep saying the same old mumbo jumbo, and expect us to buy that they can't actually just go talk to the people in charge.
I am also asking if they can't tell me that information, then help me find some alternati'ves.
So, why don't you paypal me a few hundred dollars for a new sound card. You seem to have no problem sitting there giving your sound card "high fi'ves" and talking to it in a sweet voice, "Don't worry little sound card, I know you have amazing potential, I won't give up on you!"
"Do you remember the old days of Windows 2000?" We then cut to a montage of you running through fields of flowers hugging your sound card and a copy of Windows 2000. You shake your fingers at them and say, "Not yet little guys, soon we'll all be together in harmony, we just have to wait!!"

Questions for Opinions and Ideas.

Hi,
I have a couple of questions for a few of you to respond.
1) What is the best site for keeping up to date on Java?
2) What is the best site for keeping up to date on technology?
3) What is the best site for news and events in general?
Search questions
1) I have been noticing that when I search on google I seem to get hits that are 3 or more years old? Has the internet become lack luster?
2) Is open source just another way for corporate to give away technology to another country and then outsource to them on pretense that they cannot find anything in the US?
3) Should all open source licenses be for American companies only?
Your answers and comment would be welcomed.

Rooting for them? I guess you didn't have stock in
enron or mci or delphi or maybe the 100's of other
companies that were backdating options or reporting
wrong results. You must also be one who is for
illegal immigrants? I can get more benefits being an
illegal immigrant than I can being an unemployed
white male (never been unemployed until now). I was
one of 3000 that got laid off due to outsourcing.
(company will remain anonymous) Their explanation
was, "They could not get enough technical resources
here in the US, so they were contracting to an
outsourcing company for the services". And so they likely lied. The predominate reason for outsourcing is that the company thinks that they can save money.
Very large companies often can "save" money because...
1. They have absolutely no process control and fail to deliver anything useful with the existing staff anyways. So they save money because it costs less to deliver nothing. (One large company I was aware of one time had a software development department which hadn't delivered anything in 18 months.)
2. They do have stringent process control and thus can deliver actual requirements that means something to the outsourced firm. Given their careful process control they are likely to have found an outsource company that can actually deliver what they promised. This sort of company is very rare.
Smaller companies will never succeed at this unless they have stringent process control as well. And failure here means that the company will be unlikely to survive.
Most companies that think they have process control do not in fact have it. Even with written requirements and written designs the actual product is often built via word of mouth requirements and products don't resemble the designs at all.
Presumably you can judge where your company fits into the above.
Before you
dismiss someone else make sure you think about the
question and why someone would ask. I wish I could
laugh with you.I worked at a company where they laid off 5% of the work force a week before they announced record profits. It had nothing to do with outsourcing.
I have been laid off from several places simply because they weren't making money. In several cases they never made any money. Nothing to do with outsourcing.
One company even had one of those money making ventures in place that involved phony offshore corporations doing phony sales. One of the owners of the company set that up. That had nothing to do with outsourcing either.
In all cases being a competent professional it took me very little time to find another job.

When laptop booths there is a folder with a question mark. Can someone tell me whats wrong?

When laptop booths there is a folder with a question mark. Can someone tell me whats wrong?

The Mac cannot find the hard drive or a valid boot folder.
You can try to reboot with Command and R and hold down until you see recovery partition. Launch that and then in the menu bar at the top look for Disk Utilities. Run that and see what it says when you scan your hard drive,
Any errors there are bad. If it can't even read the drive that is worse.
I suspect with the ? issue you will be reformatting and reinstalling OS X after getting a new hard drive.

Question for The Hatter

You have always given good info from what I have seen so a question for you.
I have a late 2010 MP with the 2.8 GHz quad-core Xeon. You have said a good upgrade for this machine is the 3.2GHZ 6 core. Could you provide me with some details about that such as where to buy and specifically which chip (I seem to recall there are various iterations)?
Thanks

Question for T20 owners regarding aux input

I'm hoping someone with T20s can answer a simple question for me. When you have two different sources plugged into the main input and the aux input, do you hear both mixed together? Or, does plugging in the aux "cut off" the main input? I've got two computers and I'd like to pipe both into just one set of speakers, and I've heard using reverse splitter adapters is a bad idea. All help is appreciated. Thanks! :-)

I'm not an audio expert but here goes. The aux does not cut off the primary input for the speaker, and you can hear both sources at once. (I have my laptop plugged into the rear and an MP3 player feeding the aux input)? I don't know that it's really a great idea since you could probably overload the speakers quickly if both sources are playing, even with transient spikes, but if you keep the volume reasonable, it probably may work fine. Best of luck.
