Saving HD video for Computer use and possible later burn?

I have a Canon HF-10 shooting AVCHD. I would like to edit and save projects at the highest possible quality to view on my 1080p TV. However, I would like to store the files on my computer where I have a backed up HD. I'd also like to be able to watch the files on the computer if I want (at HD quality). Are there export settings that can act as an "all-in-one" while maintaining a very high quality?
For TV playback I'm thinking of using something like a Western Digital HD Media Player which can play files off a HD (specs say they support: Video -MPEG1/2/4, WMV9, AVI (MPEG4, Xvid, AVC), H.264, MKV, MOV (MPEG4, H.264), MTS, TP, TS)

Windows Media Player may have issues with the file extension... you can try to play them if it says it does not recognise the extension say play anyway.
Otherwise download the freeware Media Player Classic:

I have restored this
from a time machine partition.
TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works
Why is my computer slow?
Fix any and all issues in software following this list of fixes

Then follow this defrag method I've outlined
How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive
Most commonly used backup methods
There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.
Hope this assists.

I set up my new computer using the apple ID i always use, and then later migrated all my files from my old mac book to the same new one, but under a different user (same ID). how do i consolidate the two users on my new mac book?

Well if you use the Finder Go menu to Computer, a window opens up double click on your boot drive and then on Users folder, open the other user folder and open Public and drop your files into DropBox
When you do this it will copy them and change the permissions and user assigned to it, so log into the other user and place them into your respective normal folders.
Once you have all your files over and don't need the old user, use System Preferences > Accounts to delete it if you wish, however it's good two Admin accounts on the machine in case something bad happens in the other. Some people for security reasons on use a Standard account for most uses and a emergency Admin account.
One can still do most Admin things in Standard user.

What is the best way to export a video for broadcast using FCE? H264?

I need to get the best quality HD video for broadcast using final cut express and I need to know all info and settings please?

Hello,
You need to find out from the broadcaster what specs they require you to meet. H.264 is probably not it.

Best microphone for computer use w/ E-MU sound ca

My microphone is being read by the PatchMix, the volume bars spark up whenever you speak into the microphone, but it isn't being read by the rest of the computer. So I'm wondering which type of microphone-for-computer-use (foreign language programs and the like) would best work with the E-MU 0404. Logitech has a USB Microphone that claims to need no drivers, would that work? Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hello Casey! Sorry that i haven't responded. I didn't think i was going to get an answer so i stopped looking at this post. I still have the problem though and i thank you for your reply.
I went in to my "Power Configuration" options in BIOS and found this
Suspend mode [SI (POS) ]
ACPI version features [ACPI v1.03]
ACPI APIC Support Enabled

RTC Resume Disabled
Usb Wakeup From s3/24 Disabled
Power on by PCIE/oboard Lan Disabled

Hi,
First restart you computer (if iChat is set to start when the Computer starts up then Disable this)
If that does not work go to iChat > Preferences > Video section and set the Bandwidth Limit to 500kbps
Mostly this tends to be about Internet Speed or what iChat thinks you have.
Make sure you are not doing any Downloads or another computer is doing so (there is never an equal split on the internet Bandwidth between different devices)

I have 2 iPhones - one for personal use and one for work. They are currently connected with the same Apple ID. I would like to separate the two accounts. Does anybody know how to do this?

Just create a new AppleID for your work.
As Allan suggested, items purchased on one iTunes account cannot be moved to the other account.
However, you can put items purchased on on account onto the other iPhone.

Since about a week Firefox crashes regularly. Now nearly everyday at first use and sometimes later

Now its nearly every day at first use and sometimes later while working. Firefox is running all day as I use it together with Firebug for webdesign. So many tabs open :-)

Firebug probably should not be used unnecessarily, it can interact with other extensions and cause problems. Multiple java console may also potentially cause problems or security risks.

Try Firefox in [[safe mode]] and without Firebug. Presumably you will have read [[firefox crashes]] Do you only get crashes when firebug is enabled ?
As a web developer and Firebug user you may even be able to discover Steps To Reproduce and post those in the bug yourself.

Is it possible to use Citrix for home-use and for free, Only one use?

Hi
I am a .Net developer so i need to have Microsoft Visual Studio and Microsoft Windows for my Work, but i like iPad 2 in Tablets so that i bought one, Now in a video i have seen that Citrix is such a professional Desktop and App Virtualization that it seems Microsoft Windows is running on iOS, so i want to use it but not for business and just for home use, is it possible to set it up for free?
Best Regards,
PK DEVELOPER

Citrix does not allow iOS to run Windows. Citrix products are one of several ways to connect an iOS device to a system that does run Windows and allow the iOS device to take control of that Windows system. Citrix, to the best of my knowledge, does not make their back-end products (i.e. the software that runs on the system to which you want to connect) available for free; it's usually quite expensive as it's intended for enterprise use.
Citrix for home use would almost certainly be vast overkill, though. Just do a web search for "VNC". VNC is a solution for Windows and iOS that would allow you to take control of your Windows system.
Regards.

Old battery for home use and 1 "traveller" battery? good idea?

My powerbook is my main computer and is connected to the adapter 90% of the time.
Would there be a noticable benefit from only using the new battery if i need to go on the road and leave the current battery in the laptop for home use?
If so is it best to leave the new battery half charged when not in use?

You might want to read this page on the same site as the previous link, because most of my opinions are based on sources like that one, since I am not myself a battery expert.
So what would you class as a shallow discharge? 50 or
75%?
This is going to sound stupid, but I don't really put a number on it, only because I haven't seen one. I only see the advice about shallow vs. deep discharges. But I also don't think it needs to be that precise. The most damaging percentages seem to be 0% and 100%. I am not sure there is so much difference between 50% and 75%. Also, it's pointless to finesse it around that range because if you are on battery and you need to work longer, you should work longer. Being able to use the runtime you bought is more important than ekeing out incremental runtime preservation. I think this is why Apple's advice is so general, because it will essentially accomplish the goal. ("An ideal use would be a commuter who uses her MacBook Pro on the train, then plugs it in at the office to charge.") Unplug it when you need battery, and plug it back in when you don't need battery.
As the battery will sometimes "rest" for a month or
more should i follow the apple battery care
suggestion and leave it at 50% ?
That seems fine. The page I linked to says 40%. Other sites say 40% and in the fridge. Again, anywhere in the ballpark is probably Close Enough.
Network, do you leave the battery at a specific
charge when resting?
Resting plugged in, 100% obviously, can't do much about that.
Resting and not in the laptop (short term offline), I aim for 90-95%. The only reason for that is on the site I linked to, it says "The worst condition is keeping a fully charged battery at elevated temperatures," so I figure it's easy to not have it fully charged. However, I will not drain it to 40% for short-term room temp storage, because that would require planning at least an hour ahead to charge it back up to 100% before going out the door. If you forget to do that, you walk out the door with your 40% charged battery, and that 5ucks.
Resting long-term, I'll drain to around 40%, put it in a ziploc bag, and put it in the fridge. Some say getting it down to fridge temperature isn't important, and I really don't know. But all agree, never put it in the freezer!!!!!
There is a balance here between convenience and runtime preservation. If you wanted to obsess over runtime preservation you could drain to 50% and fridge it every time you take it out of the laptop, but the reason that's totally stupid is that every time you want to use it you have to get it back up to room temperature and charge it. That's why I like to have different criteria for might-need-it-today storage (almost charged, room temp) and long-term storage (half discharged in the fridge).
The reason i'm hammering at this is that this
powerbook is nearing the end of its cycle and i doubt
i'll invest in another battery in the future.
Totally understand. That's why I looked into this stuff myself. But since I have a battery that's pretty new, and I think I can get decent runtime out of it for at least 2 years, that means it should last long until the ol' PowerBook G4 feels out of date enough for me to upgrade.
The main points here are, if you want to use your battery for its intended purpose, don't worry about micromanaging the percentages, just use it normally, don't drain it every time, keep it cool when possible.

Encoding home videos for IPhone, AppleTV and IPod Touch

Hi Folks,
I'm on latest version of Compressor and FCP.
Objective: to encode home video transfers to a format that is suitable for AppleTV, IPhone and Ipod Touch - in an efficient manner (this is key)
99% of the videos would be VHS and camcorder tapes in SD format.
I mentioned efficient manner b/c I tried running and Iphone encode through the presets in Compressor for a 2 hour VHS transfer - nothing fancy, just 12 chapters. I'm on my 2009 quad mac pro with 8 GBs RAM.
The estimator through the 'share' feature said it was going to take over 3 hours before I quit. The other reason I quit is b/c it won't be compatible with AppleTV.
I created DVDs for my client so I tried handbrake using the video_Ts folder and it created an IPhone/IPod Touch file no problem - only 40 minutes. Not bad. I tried the Universal preset and QT gives me an error that the finalized file isn't compatible.
I guess my question is: does it matter quality wise, if I run through Handbrake vs compressor? For this particular client, there are 12 hours worth of videos to compress.
I know about setting up a cluster on my mac pro, but everytime I try more than 1 file in a batch, the subsequent files fail. I can't even set a cluster up with my 2006 mac pro either - yes, I've had discussions with FCP support staff and have tickets. It's a bug
So, any thoughts? 3 hours (at a minimum) seems awfully long to compress.
Of course, I would be charging my client for these videos, but at that length of time, I'm not sure what a feasible cost would be for both sides.
Cheers,
keebler

If you are send out self contained movies to be processed in Compressor with Standard Presets (no adjustment to frame controls) you should be getting decent speed. If you want I can try encoding a two hour DV clip. How far did the encoding get before you stopped it? The estimates are not necessarily accurate at the beginning.
Also if you can get the Clusters working (disregarding the size of the batches for a moment) should help with speed. I run into limits of around 20 per batch so make multiple batches. Not the most optimal way, but could be worth it to get them all going. Set them up for overnight and it should be done in the AM.
Creating off the Video_TS folder is compressing compressed material, so it could (should) reduce quality when compared to encoding original source material, though based on the quality of the source it may be more academic...
I would try to get the Compressor end working myself. (Ignore using share, just open Compressor and put movies into it.)

Recommendation of use for MaxDB for production use and Oracle comparison

Hi all,
We are about to propose to a customer of ours the use of SAPDB for production use. This would be a good way to reduce license costs.
Previous use of this DB platform has shown that it is mature, but since I am not a basis or DBA, I can't really pinpoint if we miss a lot of functionality.
Who could provide some info on the following:
1 - Are there major functionalities that Oracle provides that MaxDB doesn't?
2 - Customer reference (or your inputs) on success stories.
Thanks in advance.
Leonardo

> Who could provide some info on the following:
>
> 1 - Are there major functionalities that Oracle provides that MaxDB doesn't?
I would ask:"What functionalities do you expect from a database system?" - and then "Can MaxDB provide those functionalities?". It does not makes sense, IMHO, to compare "possible" things if you never need them.
> 2 - Customer reference (or your inputs) on success stories.
We run MaxDB (former ADABAS D, former SAPDB) for 12 years now on all our systems. Our main ERP 6.0 EHP4 has a size of 3 TB, we run on Linux serving about 900 users (700 concurrent), a BI with roughly 1 TB (with BWA), CRM with 600 GB, and tons of portals and smaller systems (SRM, SRM-MDM 7.1, GTS 7.2, SolMan, PLM (cProjects), Content Servers and more).
There are, as with every database, "performance problems" in special areas but generally our response times are below 500 ms on the main ERP.
One drawback of the MaxDB is the fact, that it does not use UTF-8/CESU-8 to store the data (yet) so if you use only single byte codepages in a Unicode system, you will neverless consume the full 2-byte space per character.
Basically I think that you can run roughly 98 % of the current systems on MaxDB without any impacts.
