Recommendations for DV Converter?

Hi there.
I have source material on videotape et al. that I'd like to import into iMovie, but don't have either a converter (like the Pinnacle MovieBox DV sold at Apple stores) or a camera with a pass-through built-in. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
How about this one: http://www.firewire-1394.com/pyro-av-link-basic.htm

Gotta tell ya', with the price of those converters being what they are, why not get a new camera with it?? I had to make this decision a year ago, and I decided to get the Canon ZR200. It takes vids on the Mini DV format tapes, has the pass through so I can convert older vhs tapes to digital and send that right to my PB. The Canon is totally compatible with Mac, and exports to iMovie without loading any software at all if you have iMovie.
All in all, one of the best decisions I've ever made. Thank God.........

  • Recommendations for converting wma to mp3

    Importing music into iTunes does not work with wma files.  Is the best way to convert them to mp3?  If so, any recommendations for an app?  Thanks!

    It's in the AppStore. That's where I got it.
    One caviat. You CAN'T drag & drop files onto it to add them, you MUST use the "add" option, or it'll add the files multiple times. I had to learn that the hard way. Otherwise, it's fast and thorough.

  • Need recommendation for analog to digital converter

    I would like to transfer some VHS tapes to DVD. I know that a digital camcorder can be used as a pass-through for this, but unfortunately I don't have one. Can anyone recommend a basic converter box for converting VHS into a digital signal? I don't need anything fancy - just something to connect to the VCR and with a Firewire connection so I can import into iMovie or iDVD.
    Video transfer services in this area are outrageously expensive.
    Thanks,

  • Recommendations for purchasing an analog converter?

    Looking for recommendations for purchasing an analog converter to transport Hi8 movies to IMovieHD 5.0.02. I have found Datavideo DAC-100 and Pinnacle Studio MovieBox DV version 9...which purport to work. Suggestions much appreciated.

    Hi WWG3
    Just bought and used a Canopus ADVC-300. Fills my need though it seems
    to have an internal timecode that fills gaps from dorp-outs. MY GUESSING.
    Anyhow the result was to my satisfaction. The box also had many video and
    audio enhansing (destroying) functions which in my case gave a very plesant
    result.
    There are more versions to consider:
    Canopus ADVC-55
    Canopus ADVC-110
    Pyro AV link
    DAC-100
    Director's Cut Take 2
    ForeMac Studio
    (Hollywood bridge - if it still is manufactured) - Had one and accidentally
    killed it by turning the FW-connector 180 deg wrong. (I think it was rather
    unreliably)

  • Laptop recommendations for a graphic designer?

    I am trying to figure what laptop I'd want to upgrade to since I'll be doing Graphic Design work very soon for college online. I have never been a Mac user but I know that the Mac notebooks can come with a lot of great tools for graphic design. When I did research myself, I was set on the Macbook Air. Mostly because of the lightweight of the Air and my current laptop is very hard to handle. Since then I talked with a friend and got some advice that the Air wouldn't be a good fit for me because of the small screens. Also from what I understood the Macbook Pro W/ Retina Display (Which she recommended) had way more "designing capabilities" than the Air which is more for entertainment purposes. Well now I'm kind of unsure about which Macbook laptop out of all of them would be the best for me because apart from the weight, the other factor that made the Air so appealing was its very affordable price. The "Pro"s are a lot more expensive so I want to make sure that I know about all my options and be able to find one that really make me happy. In case it helps, when I do graphic design I mean I will be working along side a graphic tablet in Microsoft Illustrator etc. to create drawings and sketches. I know this is a lot of information so thank  you in anvance to any recommendations I receive!

    Hey, I'm always looking for new converts.
    Although it's about $300 more, I have to say I'm leaning towards the T61. There seems to be an emphasis on the Thinkpad's cooling system, fan noise, and general build quality but in some ways I'm paying more for less.
    Any tips?
    My T61p runs cool (especially compared with the T43) and quiet (nice little whisper fan, sort of soothing, actually), and is solid as a rock -- no flex in the screen, and no creaky plastic noises when I pick it up, unlike my brother's top-of-the-line Dell and my teenaged daughter's entry-level Compaq-HP. In fact, I think the build quality may actually have improved under Lenovo, at least comparing the T61p with my two T43s. (The IBM-era T21 is similarly solid, I should add.)
    I really don't think you'll regret going with a Thinkpad. Some people have said they're the Volvos of the portable computing world, with which I concur -- not flashy, but solid, well-engineered, durable, classy and elegant. Every few weeks I run across some feature of my Thinkpad that makes me say, "Man, somebody gave that a bit of thought."
    Did you scour the Net for coupons? Also, depending on your credit card, you can sometimes shave off another 5-7 percent by purchasing through the credit card's member portal. You might find some info here (which is probably VISA-USA, but might direct you).

  • I want to save my iphone movies to a DVD to play on standard DVD players. Recommendations for software?

    I have an old macbook that doesn't have a video conversion program.  I would like to burn my iphone movies onto DVDs that play on standard DVD players.  I would appreciate recommendations for software that I should get to convert the files and burn the movies.  Free is best but I will pay if I have to.

    If you have a MacBook, it should have come with iLife. iLife includes iMovie and iDVD. These should do the job nicely, even older versions of them.

    I just got a new iPad and am looking for recommendations for software that will make it useful at work aand at home.
    is there a word processing app that will convert to Word?  is there anything like Excel for the iPad?

    Hello:
    Word processing = Pages (Apple's WP application).  It converts Microsoft Word documents automatically
    Spreadsheet = Numbers.  Converts Excel spreadsheets automatically.
    Go to the App store, you will find those (and many others) there.

  • Recommendations for a new monitor?

    Greetings,
    I'm looking for a new monitor for my Powermac G4 450 MHz AGP (sawtooth).
    I'm currently using a Formac Gallery 1740 after 6 years it's starting to faded out on me.
    I'd really appreciate any suggestion or Recommendations for a new one.

    I'm using a 17" LCD, Acer model AL1706 on my G4 400MHz AGP. Was plug 'n play and has been flawless over the years. I'm sure the current model numbers are different.

  • Need a printer recommendation for a small office

    hey folks, hoping someone might be able to suggest a recommendation for our business. We’ve had an OkiData color laser printer that’s lasted over 6 years but it’s been giving us some trouble over the last year and yesterday it stopped printing with an error we can’t resolve. Would have to bring a tech in to fix and we’d basically already decided that once this thing bit the dust we’d move on to something else. It’s time.
    We are looking for something in the $200-$400 range, would consider going a little higher if it was clearly worth it. We want something that connects wireless, prints quickly and reliably in Snow Leopard over an Airport Extreme network, decent color print quality is important but doesn’t have to be photo quality (we have an HP Photosmart for that kind of stuff), and it needs to have reasonable printing cost per page. We don’t print a tremendous amount of stuff, but we probably go through 100-200 pages a day and it adds up.
    Was looking at the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless and that looks like a nice unit except half the people who buy one hate it. Looks like HP quality control is lacking and if you get a good unit, great, but the odds are good you’ll get a lousy one.
    Also looking at the Brother HL-3070CW, but reviews say it has a high consumable cost.
    Basically, the more I look into this the more I head spins and now I've got myself wrapped around the axle and don’t know what to do.
    Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I would steer clear of the 500 express. Since you seem to be new to cisco products, I would use the opportunity and buy what most of your potential customers already have. Get yourself a pix/asa and a 2900 series switch as first poster suggested. If you are interested in certifications, you will need to learn the command line interface. The 500 express will do you no good as it is all gui. This is only my opinion of course. Oh, and did I see not expensive and cisco in the same sentence. :)

  • Recommendation for maintaining pricing in CRM when R/3 is also in landscape

    Hi,
    in out context we have already SAP R/3 in the landscape, all the pricing in done in R/3. lot of custom pricing routines are also written in r/3.
    now we in the process of implementing CRM and plan to do Quotations in CRM and replicate in SAP R/3 . what is the recommendation for such a scenario.
    do we replicate all pricing conditions/procedures in CRM? do we need to re-do all procedures in IPC?
    can we re-determine pricing in R/3 so that we can avoid such work in CRM? we are using configurable products in R/3.
    please share your thoughts/best practices and any document will be of help.
    thanks
    RH

    Hi Swaroop,
               The Assignment of Buisness Partner classification from CRM to R3 is purely based on Classification
    so your initial Entry
    I chose B as classification & Z001 as an account group which is a copy of 0001. System takes it.
    was taken by the system
    now when you tried to make another Entry by the same Classification
    chose B again & this time Z002 acc gp (copy of 0002), and system does not allow?
    it checks for the Existing Classification and so does not allow the same
    Delete the Previous Entry and then Try Entering the New Entry
    The System shall Take it
    Hope it Answered your Queries...
    Revert Back for any Doubts..
    Also Chk the Link for details:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/04/4d9ac77b2b11d3b52f006094b9114a/content.htm

  • Any recommendations for a recovery software for my lost photos on my external drive?

    Would like recommendations for a reputable recovery software for my lost photos from my external drive that I used with my MacBook Pro.

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • What are Best Practice Recommendations for Java EE 7 Property File Configuration?

    Where does application configuration belong in modern Java EE applications? What best practice(s) recommendations do people have?
    By application configuration, I mean settings like connectivity settings to services on other boxes, including external ones (e.g. Twitter and our internal Cassandra servers...for things such as hostnames, credentials, retry attempts) as well as those relating business logic (things that one might be tempted to store as constants in classes, e.g. days for something to expire, etc).
    Assumptions:
    We are deploying to a Java EE 7 server (Wildfly 8.1) using a single EAR file, which contains multiple wars and one ejb-jar.
    We will be deploying to a variety of environments: Unit testing, local dev installs, cloud based infrastructure for UAT, Stress testing and Production environments. **Many of  our properties will vary with each of these environments.**
    We are not opposed to coupling property configuration to a DI framework if that is the best practice people recommend.
    All of this is for new development, so we don't have to comply with legacy requirements or restrictions. We're very focused on the current, modern best practices.
    Does configuration belong inside or outside of an EAR?
    If outside of an EAR, where and how best to reliably access them?
    If inside of an EAR we can store it anywhere in the classpath to ease access during execution. But we'd have to re-assemble (and maybe re-build) with each configuration change. And since we'll have multiple environments, we'd need a means to differentiate the files within the EAR. I see two options here:
    Utilize expected file names (e.g. cassandra.properties) and then build multiple environment specific EARs (eg. appxyz-PROD.ear).
    Build one EAR (eg. appxyz.ear) and put all of our various environment configuration files inside it, appending an environment variable to each config file name (eg cassandra-PROD.properties). And of course adding an environment variable (to the vm or otherwise), so that the code will know which file to pickup.
    What are the best practices people can recommend for solving this common challenge?
    Thanks.

    HI Bob,
    As sometimes when you create a model using a local wsdl file then instead of refering to URL mentioned in wsdl file it refers to say, "C:\temp" folder from where you picked up that file. you can check target address of logical port. Due to this when you deploy application on server it try to search it in "c:\temp" path instead of it path specified at soap:address location in wsdl file.
    Best way is  re-import your Adaptive Web Services model using the URL specified in wsdl file as soap:address location.
    like http://<IP>:<PORT>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel<xirequest>
    or you can ask you XI developer to give url for webservice and username password of server
