Skype for the N8 - video cam?

Hello,
You can't video call with Skype on an N8 can you?
There is a forward facing video cam
I can't find any options on that...
Thanks,

I don't think N8 supports as its got less processor speed then 1GHZ , and even if it was made then u can experence a poor video quality and hangups.
The processor speed shouldn't matter that much for allowing video calls while doing Skype calls. It might have to do with the amount of RAM in the device, but even that is doubtable.
Poor video quality: indeed the front camera is of poor quality.

Zoom app for the iphone video cam?

would it be possible to add zoom to the video cam using a 3rd party application?

There are apps in the AppStore that do this for still pictures, but its a digital zoom meaning all it does it zoom/crop the image.
The only way to zoom the video is to move closer to the subject.
A proper zoom is a hardware feature, not software.

What to look for in a video camera

i have an apple ibook 700 mhz with imovie....but ill be buying a mac mini within the next few months so i will then have idvd..what are some things that i need to make sure i look for in a video camera. like i dont want to buy something that isnt going to be compatible with my ibook/macmini. im assuming i want a mini dv recorder. any help is greatly appreciated thanks

... ah,we had that a while ago... no bookmark... hm?? :
* miniDV, no miniDVD/flashmem/whatever..
* firewire connected (all miniDV do so, some call it iLink or IE1394) ask dealer for a cable! (some manufacturers "forget" to include...)
* stay with the big brands, no exotic cheapos...
* I highly recommend Sony, pic & audio quality perfect! very good energy management ("stamina")
* in case you need: look for ext. mic plug-in
* in case you need conversion from analogue (beta, VHS, PSP..), look for analogue-IN
* spending BigBucks: HD is a nice-have, but besides playback to tape no other media in sight ("HDDVD")
* 3ccd has "better" pic quality, better lowlight/lowkey quality
* you shouldn't pay for any in-camera-fx (sepia, posterize, ...), you'll do that in iMovie...
* get hands-on experience in shop! some cameras are too small...
* set camera to 16bit audio (my Sony "prefers" 12bit - NoGo with iApps)
* get a tripod

THE BEST VIDEO CAMERA...??? ..^_^..

..
..HEY GUYS..
I'm thinking to buy a video camera for using with IMOVE-08 very soon..but I was wondering which one could be the best .. there are so many brands out there that i can not chose one..!!
Does anybody know which one could be the best VIDEO CAMERA..? I don't care about money and I'm looking for something good that I don't want to change for a long time..!!
If you have any ideas please let me know...

I did a lot of research on the issue, which you can read about here:
http://www.kbeat.com/Site/Blog/Entries/2007/9/10New_camcorder%2C_HD_atlast!.html
After much consideration, I went with the Canon HV20, and I've been very happy with the results. I use it on a recent MacBook Pro, and have not had a single issue. You can read a great comparison article featuring the Panasonic Steve Jobs mentioned, the Canon, the JVC, and a Sony:
http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/The-Great-HD-Shoot-Out---Canon-HV20-Sony-HD R-HC7-Panasonic-HDC-SD1-JVC-GZ-HD7.htm
Good luck. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the cameras they reviewed, but the Canon has the best image, which was my number one priority.

Buying the right video camera

Hello everyone,
I work for a community centre in Montréal and we are looking for a video camera that would be fully compatible with our new iMac and iMovie.
We are basically filming kids participating in activities and then editing the footage.
From what I have been reading so far, it seems a camera which records images on a tape would be the best. We have a small JVC camera which records images on a hard drive and importing the images in iMovie is a bit complicated...
Would you have a suggestion for a small video camera ?
Thank you !
And Happy day !

Welcome to discussions, Bembrops
iMovie runs on QuickTime. QuickTime 'sees'the timecode on your video. When it stops, QuickTime stops.
So, this sounds like a timecode prolem that is happening when you import.
Perhaps simply geting rid of the imovie perference files will help.
Close Imovie.
Then locate a file named com.apple.imovie.plist and get rid of it. Then empty the trash, run a permissions repair with disk utility and restart. That should do it. The files you need to delete are found in:
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist
Also, Canon cameras don't always play nice with imovie. Especially if the camera is daisy-chained thru another firewire device. Having said this, I think I'd try a shorter Firewire cable.
(Even though your exact model isn't listed-it may still aply to you)

Have you ever even used skype on an iphone or ipod? We tried it and there is no way to type to each other while you are video chatting. You can do the typing during the video on a COMPUTER, but not on an iphone or ipod.

What are the ports required for the Audio, Video and A/V conferencing when the following end points are enabled for QoS in Lync 2013 server?

Hi All,
What are the ports required for the Audio, Video and A/V conferencing when the following clients are enabled for QoS in Lync 2013 server?
Client Type
Port range and Protocol required for Audio
Port range and Protocol required for
Video
Port range and Protocol required for
A/Vconferencing
Windows Desktop Client
Windows mobile App
Iphone
Ipad
Andriod phone
Andriod Tablet
MAC desktop client
Please advise. Many Thanks.

Out of the box, 1024-65535 for all of the client ports. :)
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398833.aspx
You'll want to tune your client ports a bit
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204760.aspx as seen here, and then the client ports would use those ranges which is easier to set QoS markings. I'm not sure the mobile clients respect that setting.
Elan's got the best writeup for Windows clients here:
http://www.shudnow.net/2013/02/16/enabling-qos-for-lync-server-2013-and-various-clients-part-1/
However, the marking of the packets is the tricky part. Windows can do it via Group Policy, but for the other clients you'll need to have the network specifically prioritize ports regardless of DSCP markings. You have to do it based on ports
as the traffic could be peer to peer.

Try resetting your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up. Then if still doing, restore your phone in itunes from your backup.

Is there a fix for the lousy (grainy) camera pictures on the 4s after iOS7?

Is there a fix for the lousy (grainy) camera pictures on the 4s after iOS7?

Rudegar, thanks for responding. The camera (front and rear facing) were both fine in poor lighting prior to the iOS7 upgrade. Now, the pictures in poor lighting are very grainy. I am wondering if this is because the new OS was designed for retina display and maynot be backward compatible for iPhone 4S.

[svn:fx-trunk] 12025: Switching out the old video component for the new video component that uses OSMF .

Revision: 12025
Revision: 12025
Author:   [email protected]
Date:     2009-11-19 17:48:04 -0800 (Thu, 19 Nov 2009)
Log Message:
Switching out the old video component for the new video component that uses OSMF. Also fixing RSL issue with OSMF because a change in flex-config.xml accidentally got overwritten. Also fixing a bug caught during the last code review where you would set the volume on the VideoPlayer, but the volumeBar wouldn't be made aware of that change.
Switching out the video component results in many API changes. The changes are highlighted below:
Class name changes:
- spark.primitives.VideoElement is being renamed to spark.components.VideoDisplay
- spark.components.mediaClasses.StreamingVideoSource is renamed to park.components.mediaClasses.DynamicStreamingVideoSource
- spark.components.mediaClasses.StreamItem is renamed to park.components.mediaClasses.DynamicStreamingVideoItem
VideoDisplay/VideoPlayer event changes:
The new video component's events are:
- bytesLoadedChange : org.osmf.events.LoadEvent
- currentTimeChange : org.osmf.events.TimeEvent
- durationChange : org.osmf.events.TimeEvent
- mediaPlayerStateChange : org.osmf.events.MediaPlayerStateChangeEvent
The old video component's events were:
- close : spark.events.VideoEvent (removed)
- complete : spark.events.VideoEvent (replaced with mediaPlayerStateChange)
- metaDataReceived : spark.events.VideoEvent (replaced with mediaPlayerStateChange)
- playheadUpdate : spark.events.VideoEvent (replaced with currentTimeChange)
- progress : flash.events.ProgressEvent (replaced with bytesLoadedChange)
- ready : spark.events.VideoEvent (replaced with mediaPlayerStateChange)
VideoDisplay/VideoPlayer property changes:
Renames:
- maintainAspectRatio:Boolean has been renamed to scaleMode:String and rather than true/false, it now access 4 values: none, zoom, letterbox, and stretch. See the enum class org.osmf.display.ScaleMode.
- playheadTime:Number has been renamed to currentTime:Number
- playWhenHidden has been renamed to pauseWhenHidden, and it's "tense" has been reversed. So playWhenHidden = true correlates to pauseWhenHidden = false. Also, before we would only pause when the video component was explcitly set to visible=false, but now we detect if the video components or any of it's ancestors have been hidden.
- totalTime:Number has been renamed to duration:Number
New properties:
- bytesLoaded:Number This is a new property not available on the old video component
- bytesTotal:Number This is a new property not available on the old video component
- loop: Boolean this was a property added a while ago on the old video component but not in the original video player spec
- mediaPlayerState: this is a new property that details the state of the video component. See org.osmf.media.MediaPlayerState for all the possible values.
- seekToFirstFrame:Boolean (pending PARB approval) - This is a new property available on VideoDisplay/VideoPlayer. When autoPlay = false, if seekToFirstFrame is set to true, then we will connect to the server to start downloading the video, figure out the size of the video and resize appropriately, and show the first frame of the video. If seekToFirstFrame is false, then no connection to the server is made, there's no implicit size for this video, and the first frame will not be show automatically. By default the value of this property is true. In the old video component, when autoPlay = false, we always has the same behavior as seekToFirstFrame = true. Now it is controllable through this property. Eventually, (not for Flex 4.0), we will most-likely have support for a thumbnail source or a splash screen so the video's preview will show up without making an unneeded connection to the server. The property name may change depending on PARB.
Other changes:
- autoRewind: The default of autoRewind is now true instead of false
- enabled: before we paused the video when the video component was explicitly set to enabled = false. Now we pause the video when the video component or any of it's ancestors have been disabled.
VideoPlayer-only changes:
- videoObject:flash.media.Video property is now a new property on VideoPlayer. It was previously only on VideoDisplay.
- The skin states for the old VideoPlayer were: connectionError, disabled, disconnected, loading, playing, stopped, connectionErrorAndFullScreen, disabledAndFullScreen, disconnectedAndFullScreen, loadingAndFullScreen, playingAndFullScreen, stoppedAndFullScreen. The new skin states are: uninitialized, loading, ready, playing, paused, buffering, playbackError, disabled, uninitializedAndFullScreen, loadingAndFullScreen, readyAndFullScreen, playingAndFullScreen, pausedAndFullScreen, bufferingAndFullScreen, playbackErrorAndFullScreen, disabledAndFullScreen
DynamicStreamingVideoItem property changes:
- bitRate:Number renamed to bitrate:Number
DynamicStreamingVideoSource property changes:
- initialIndex has been added to DynamicSteramingVideoSource
- live:Boolean has changed to streamType:String which accepts values: live, recorded, any. See the enum class org.osmf.net.StreamType for more info.
- serverURI:String renamed to host:Object
- streamItems:Array has changed types to streamItems:Vector.
ScrubBar property changes (THESE CHANGES ARE NOT DONE YET, BUT SHOULD BE DONE SOON)
- bufferedStart will be removed
- bufferedEnd will be renamed to loadedRangeEnd. This property name still may change depending on PARB.
- bufferedArea skin part needs to be renamed. Probably will be renamed to loadedArea. PARB still deciding.

I've got that same problem: iPod Touch 2nd Gen, Apple Component Cables, and an HD TV.
The funny thing is, the cable works fine with an iPod Classic (160 GB) but not for the iPod Touch. Can anyone explain why that is?

So... how long do we have to wait for a RAW update for the Nikon D600 camera?

So... how long do we have to wait for a RAW update for the Nikon D600 camera?

Adobe releases Camera Raw every 3 or 4 months. The D600 itself was launched only about 1 week ago. I'm sure its not included in ACR 7.2 RC yet. Nikon J1 is included though. I guess you're gona have to wait for it. Maybe 7.2 final release will have it or 7.3 should. Adobe employees/ product team will not commit to a time for Camera Raw releases.
However, you can use the software Nikon would've given you to convert your images as TIFF and import them into Lightroom/ Photoshop if you're in a hurry. It would be nice if your camera supports DNG conversion out of the box! This way, you wont need a Camera Raw from Adobe.
Anyway, you could file a 'Feature Request' to Adobe here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Good luck.

It's time for the itms-video-store AUSTRIA!! make it real apple!

hey apple! it's time for the itms-video-store here in austria!!!!
we are waiting so long!! we can't wait any longer!!
when? when? when will it come true and we also can buy videos in itms??????

Apple can't sell the videos in Austria (or any other country) unless and until the owners of said videos will allow it, and to date they've not allowed Apple to sell most videos, or any TV shows, anywhere but in the US. No one here will have any idea when, or even if, that will ever happen. If you want to push someone, write to the US TV networks and record companies and express your interest to them directly.

IM+Skype for the iphone

Alright I have a question about the skype for iphone service. I thought I understood but aparently not the case. So first to use it i must pay $25 for a lifetime purchase or a $4.95 a month fee. Alright so it's free to call someone's skype account from it and it only costs a small fee to call a real phone? I had thought prevously that it also uses your air time minutes. However, the skype website says it is for the ipod touch as well. How can it use airtime charges then? or is it only free when hooked up to wifi?

what i can gather though is it calls you back. My girlfriend is currently in london so i am trying to find the best way to call her. All I have is my cell phone and a pc, i'm in a dorm room. Otherwise i would just use a calling card and pay $0.03 per minute. Heard about skype for the iphone, I use skype to talk with her over the pc. just would be nice to talk anywhere.

Hi Chris,
thanks for your tip. I didn't get around to trying it, as I have just solved the problem:
Unless I misunderstand how things are supposed to work, I think I also might have found a bug (or at a minimum an usability issue):
When I talked about having relaxed all the local storage settings in my original post, I meant that in the System Preferences / Flash Player / Storage pane I had set "Allow sites to save information on this computer". I also had done some experimention around the "Ask me" and "Settings by Site" options - all without success. I had navigated to that pane by right-clicking on "Global Settings" from the non-working video players.
However, just now I discovered the following: When I navigate to http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l (the embedded Global Storage Settings Panel) I found that in fact "Allow third-party Flash content to store date on your computer" was disabled all along!
So effectively, the System Preferences Pane and the Global Settings Manager were not in sync / had conflicting settings and it looks like the Global Settings Manager took precedence. When I enabled local storage in the Global settings manager, things started working immediately.
This is extremely easily reproducable by the way: Just change some settings in the Global Settings Manager and then right click "Global Settings" within it and the Preference Pane coming up will be in conflict with the settings manager.
(Even if this is somehow by design, its quite confusing)
Hope this helps future readers with the same issue. Also, this is an issue in 11.3 Beta 2, so maybe your teams can still fix this for 11.3
Thanks,
Jens
