SONY AVCHD anyone have a fix for this consumer format?

I'm working on a project as volunteer for a school and one of the parents handed me their Sony HDR-SR1,... I'm not impressed! It looks like wide screen DV quality!?!??! Along with occassional "swishing" and "digital video noise, like from a SciFi film",... or at least that's this camera?
And,... worse yet,... It basically doesn't work with any computer, or NLE??!!!?!?
So,... has anyone gotten AVCHD to work with FCP without writing a massive Java, or Unix, or Linux set of scripts with no shell?????
If I were Sony and I guess Panasonic????? I'd be completely embarrased!!!!! Seems like a very stupid move to me!
Crazy me,... but in the meantime,...
I'm thinking the Canon HV20 is the far better alternative?
So,.... 1) Anyone get AVCHD to work easily with FCP, and 2) What about the HV20?

In order to use AVCHD with FCP, you need to first convert it to a format FCP can edit. According to Studio X, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4651117&#4651117, MPEG Streamclip can do it.
As far as the HV20, I have one and it works like a champ with FCP. Its hard to beat in the sub $1100 HDV camcorder range.

    Do Not Disturb and Notifications
    Push notifications appear in Notification Center and alert you to new information, even when the
    associated app isn’t running. Notifications vary by app, but may include text or sound alerts, and
    a numbered badge on the app icon on the Home screen.
    Turn off all notifications: Go to Settings and turn on Do Not Disturb. When it’s turned on and
    iPhone is locked, all notifications and calls are silenced, but alarms will still sound. You can set the
    following options in Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb:
    • Automatically turn on Do Not Disturb: Set the starting and ending hours for when you don’t
    want to be disturbed. iPhone turns on Do Not Disturb during these hours each day.
    • Allow some phone calls during Do Not Disturb: When Do Not Disturb is on, calls are silently sent
    to voice mail. To allow some callers to ring through, tap Allow Calls From. You can allow calls
    from your Favorites list or other Contacts groups you define. For information about Favorites,
    see Chapter 25, Contacts, on page 100.
    • Allow persistant callers to ring through: Turn on Repeated Calls. If the same caller (based on
    their Caller ID) calls you twice within three minutes, iPhone will ring.
    Turn an app’s notifications on or off: Go to Settings > Notifications. Tap an item in the list, then
    turn notifications on or off for that item. Apps that have notifications turned off appear in the Not in Notification centre

    I can't seem to get my keypad shortcuts to work on my iphone 4 after the IOS 6 update.  Anyone have a resolution for this???  Apple???

    Unless Verizon has a special provision in this regard that ATT has never had, Apple handles all iPhone repairs and exchanges under Apple's warranty.
    There is a setting when capturing photos - Automatic, On, or Off for the flash when capturing photos.
    If there is no flash when set to On or Automatic in a dark setting and no change after the standard troubleshooting steps which in order are:
    Power your iPhone off and on.
    An iPhone reset.
    Restoring your iPhone with iTunes from the backup.
    Restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    Your iPhone has a hardware problem. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • TS2776 After installing iTunes 11, we can no longer sync our iPhone and iPad devices with Outlook 2007 or 2010.  We are trying to install iTunes 10 to replace iTunes 11. Anyone have a fix for this?

    Since installing itunes 11, we can no longer sync to our Outlook 2007 and 2010 calendars (there may be other Outlook files included in this syncing problem). Using the iCloud is not an option as it does not support Vista OS.  We are trying to reinstall iTunes 10.7, however; that is not going particularly well, either. Does anyone have a proven solution for this mess?

    FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

  • HT4623 Distorted sound.  Does anyone have a fix for this?

  • HT1430 Trouble getting email on my ipad.  I have deleted and re-added the original email address in Settings. Then restarted the ipad.  Still continue to get the endless cycling when I try to get on my yahoo email account.  Does anyone have a fix for this

    No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
    But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
    Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
    By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
    That would depend on what you are trying to do.

  • I keep getting error code 4850 when burning cds. Anyone have a fix for this?

    Was burning cds fine for years, now I get this error code.

    If you recently installed or updated disc burning software it may be conflicting with iTunes.

  • Maxx Hotspot won't play nice with an IPad, Win7 laptop, and XP desktop.  If the IPad connects to the hotspot first, it seems to lock the laptop out of an internet connection.  Does anyone have a fix for this?

    I recently had to replace my Razr Maxx with a newer model.  XT1080 8984  The older model would handle multiple connections without a problem.  However, the newer model (and newer OS?) has some sort of conflict between the IPad and the Win7 Laptop.  I've spent a day getting the laptop connected to the internet and don't have a great deal of confidence that the connections won't fail in a moments notice.
    Any suggestions or solutions?
    Thanks

        Thanks for all the extra details, shkc. While the occasional reboot is a good idea on any device, we certainly don't want you to need multiple restarts either. Try deleting the WiFi connection on all the connected devices. Then on your Maxx, go to Menu>Settings>More (under Wireless & Networks)>Tethering & Mobile Hotspot>Mobile Hotspot Settings>Configire Mobile Hotspot. First, change the Network Name to something a bit different with no special characters. Also, change the Broadcast Channel from Auto to a specific number, such as 10. Then save your changes and create the WiFi connection from the beginning on each of your connected devices.

  • Barcode shows a bunch of squares when barcode is made on AI CS11. Does anyone know a fix for this? We have CS2 running on another PC and we don't get this problem.

    Barcode shows a bunch of squares when barcode is made on AI CS11. Does anyone know a fix for this? We have CS2 running on another PC and we don't get this problem.
    Background:
      Using FrameMaker 7.1 to create a PDF file where a CS11 barcode file is embedded. PDF generates fine but we get a bunch of squares when we copy and paste the barcode data into Notepad.
      We have CS 2 running on another PC and we don't get this problem. Do I need to install a plugin (if any) for CS11 to get this to work?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your feedback.  I was not able to mention earlier that in my line of work, we use Notepad to check if the barcode text is written correctly or if the corresponding text can be found if searched in the PDF... We use FREE3OF9.TTF font when entering text values for the barcode (usually in document/part number format exclusive for our company's use) in AI CS11. After saving the AI file, we attach it in a document using FrameMaker 7.1, then a PDF file is created. The output PDF will be a certification sheet for our products. They (our clients) should be able to scan the document/part number out of the barcode. I'm sorry, I could not divulge any other information so I am not sure if this clears out the issue. It used to work before but I had to get my PC formatted and since then I have been encountering this problem. I am trying to figure out if we missed to install a component or something got messed up after re-installing Adobe Illustrator CS11.

  • My iPad makes a high low high tune every fifteen to twenty minutes, anyone know of this and have a fix for this annoying sound.

    My iPad makes a high low high tune every fifteen to twenty minutes, anyone know of this and have a fix for this annoying sound.

    I Also have this problem!!
    In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason.  At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident.  Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed.  Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
    I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees).  Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!!  Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

  • In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
    each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
    ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
    It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
    Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
    However, even if presented with multiple prints with
    the same name, the spooler should print each one!
    The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
    As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.
