Sorry - this is a "which camcorder" question!

Hi,
I'm completely new to iMovie and camcorders so please bear with me.
I've had a look through previous posts and can't see anything in relation to my question so :
I'm looking at buying the Sony HC44. Previous posts have mentioned that camcorders have to be transferred by Firewire. Nothing in the blurb on the Sony mentions Firewire, only AV output and USB connection. Am I just being dense? Will this work on iMovie?
If anyone replies to my post please talk (type?) really slowly and preferably in words of one sylablle or less because I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
Thanks for your patience.

So basically if I have a DV out, DV in and an AV output this should be all I need to get up and running?
dv-out = transfers video from tape into Mac
dv-in = transfers edited iMovie back to tape (storage...)
AV/analogue-out = connect camera to TV-set...(all cameras have such)
AV/analogue-in = useful, e.g. transfer older VHS to camera to Mac...
search this forum for camera suggestions...
Sony is a well-known, recommended brand; you do NOT need any fancy "effects" in camera - you'll do this with you Mac better.
think about: would I use my "clumpsy" camcorder to do stills? or do I prefer to carry a second, not-so-clumpsy second device?
think about "do I need 16:9"?
think about "I do Hollywood - I buy a 3ccd camera!!" (<<excellent pic quality, but very expansive...)
NEVER think about using a DVDcorder or stuff like that, stay miniDV.
... and get a tripod... (<< internal joke, apologizes to confuse you, I'm FORCED to write that)

Sorry, this is not a forms question

Hi,
Sorry to ask this question here, but i've no options left. I dont have google access in the office.
Just if someone had done something like this.
Is it possible to generate a excel file from a word doc or vice versa?
Like if i have 2(1by2) table structures in the word with some text in each cell, then the generated excel file should have 2 sheets wih the corresponding text per table in separate sheets.
Thanks

Hi Sarah,
This is not at all a forms/oracle question.
By table i mean, the table we insert into word doc using insert->table option.
I have a word doc, with such tables in it. Without manually copying each table to each sheet of an excel, i want to know whether there is some option to import/ export this doc file, so that i will get the desired excel file, without this manual copying.
Sorry, but once again this is not at all related to oracle but ms office

Sorry this is not tech related...Regarding the o2 18 month contract.

Just to say right off the bat that I have NO wish to unlock the i-phone.
However, from what I understand (please correct me if I am wrong).
The only way to use the i phone when it is released in the UK is via o2's 18 month contract.
So once the 18 months is up on the contract and I choose to cancel the contract, how will I still be able to make calls, because the i phone is locked only to the o2 contract tariff when you first set up the i phone.
Legally,I thought that in the UK, once a contract is passed it's minimum term you could contact the network provider for them to unlock the phone to any network (sometimes for a fee).
What I'm really trying to say is that once my 18 month contract with o2 UK is up, will they have a legal obligation to unlock my i phone to other networks.
Sorry this is not a 'tech' question only,
I'm really tempted to get an i phone on the 9th but I just need investigate as much as possible before I take the plunge...

I think you are partly right, but partly wrong.
I believe that you have the right to buy yourself out of your contract term with your network. To be a little more precise, I think you have the right to take your number with you whenever you want. You may still have to pay O2 for the remaining term of the contract, subject to what your contract terms say. The contract terms usually have the kind of 'get out' that you describe, but this of course depends entirely on the contract terms you have agreed to.
Where I think you have it wrong is what happens to your hardware - the phone. I'm not aware of anything that requires a network to facilitate the unlocking of your phone. Think of it this way. If you buy a decoder box for NTL cable tv, you can't complain to the manufacturer or NTL if you later decide to use that decoder box for Virgin tv only to find it doesn't work. (perhaps not the best example, but I hope you see what I mean).
I agree this is a concern. I may be happy to go with O2 for now, and for 18 months. But I'm not so happy at the prospect of having to bin my iPhone if I want to move to Orange at the end of my 18 month contract. I'm relying (hoping) that consumer pressure, and the changing market, will have sorted this by the end of my 18 month contract. In 18 months time, if Apple and O2 require customers to either stick with O2 or bin their iPhone it will be a real reputation killer.

Sorry the answer to my previous question did not help....when trying to get app message tells me I do not have acc or its been disabled. Is this because of joint usage of email as my partner has account with iTunes using same email?

Whatever the reasons are that you think the problem exists, you will not be able to resolve it on your own. Did you see this at the bottom of the support article that I suggested that you read?
Additional Information
If the issue persists, you can visit iCloud Support, iTunes Support, Apple Print Products, or contact AppleCare for further assistance.
You should probably contact iTunes Support.

Please sorry this very newbie question.

Hello people
Again, please sorry this question I'm very new in this Emerging Technologie.
I Wish to know the difference between Fiber Channel and Fiber.
I assume please do not laught, That a Bundle of Fiber ports conform a Fiber Channel am I Right ?
Can anyone point me a good web site where I can find this difference
Thanks for you Help
Victor.

Fibre Channel is a technology/protocol for networking Storage. See http://www.t11.org/index.html for all the standards. Fibre is either Multi Mode(orange) Or Single(yellow) and is the actual fiber Optic cable used in Storage area Networks to connect switches, storage and Host systems together.

Which camcorder is compatible without the need to render?

Hi there, just swapped from PC to Apple, and just like a few other posts on here I am having problems in deciding which camcorder to buy to use with FCE4, I am ideally looking for a budget camera prefer SD/HC or HDD with a max price about £300. I have checked the compatibility list but I have one question, When I take the footage from a camera and import it into FCE4 will I have to then render it, as, just to have a play with FCE4 I tried taking some video footage using photobooth, I then imported it into FCE4 placed it in the timeline and it then needed to be rendered, and if I moved it around in the timeline once it had been rendered I then had to render it again, this can't be right as it takes so much time to do anything.I am feeling a little bit disappointed, as at the moment Windows Movie Maker works faster.
Please any advice or help greatly appreciated. I just want to experience the might of theApple Imac that I have been told about.

Hello and welcome to the fourm.
Rendering captured or imported footage is only necessary when you're using media which FCE doesn't handle natively. If you work with DV-PAL media (or any of the other several FCE-native formats), you'll only need to render certain effects or transitions. What it VITAL is that your FCE Sequence Settings match the footage you shoot.
Regarding camcorders, my personal bias remains in favor of standard-definition tape-based cameras. HDV workflow is still pretty kludgy (best I can tell; I don't work in HDV, but this forum is replete with posts from folks who are trying to deal with the associated complications) as is delivery of HD output. Most any firewire-equipped mini-dv camera from the major manufacturers will work fine. I particularly like most Sony and Panasonic gear. Canon cameras often cause problems when used with external drives.

Sharepoint foundation 2013 : After doing backup cannot access the site "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you"

I am using SharePoint Foundation 2013 , i have backed up the site using powershell with the following command:
-backup-spsite -identity http://dmsserver/sites/demo/ -path C:\SPSiteBackup.bak
After backup finished, i can't access the site, the message "Sorry, this site hasn't been shared with you" appears, even the site administrator collection is configured coorectly, with the Administrator account.
Whats the problem?
Please Advice.

Hi husseinsa,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not access the site after backing up the site collection in SharePoint 2013 Foundation.
Could you access other sites at the same site collection?
Let’s do a troubleshooting for this issue:
Please delete the IE cache: IE options->General->Delete, select all checkboxes, and click Delete.
Go to CA->Application Management->Manage web applications, select the web application which hosts the problematic site .
Click Permisson Policy, make sure there are not any deny policies for site collection administrator and site collection auditor.
Back to the web application list page, click User Policy, check whether there are any user policies for denying permissions.
Change the site collection administrator or add a secondary site collection administrator in CA, then use the new site collection administrator to log in the site, compare the result.
Open IIS, expand the server, and click application pools.
Find the problematic web application pool, make the identity of the pool is correct, then do an IISRESET, compare the result.
If this issue still exists, please check the log file to find more information about this issue. The path of the log file is
: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
Or you can use Event Viewer(Start->Run->event viewer) to find the log.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Which camcorder for enterprising teen?

I've spent several weeks researching which camcorder to buy for my teenage son. He has had several years experience making short films at camps and schools, and now wishes to make his own shorts.
On a limited budget, we want the best available option -- which, of course, must work well with FCE (on an iMac).
Here's my short list:
Canon HG 10
Canon HR 10
Canon HV 20
Panasonic PV-GS500
Panasonic HDC-SD5BNDL
Thanks for any help you may provide!

Yes, yes, yes... HV20? VERY GOOD!!! but it depends on what you are wanting to do with it... if you are going to make a movie like Pirates of the Caribbean then you can almost not spend enough money... but most likely you are not doing that! I own the HV10 the little sister of the HV20... you can actually still get the HV10 on amazon for somewhere around $680.00. It is in the style of a matchbox which is actually the only feature that puts it down on my list... I am EXTREMELY picky about the quality of my video... when I researched it out the HV10 was the only one that lived up to the standard... the HV10 shoots full 1080i High Def. VERY nice! Really rich colors! just always give it plenty of light to ensure the best possible quality! when that is done it is totally amazing! don't get me wrong... the HV10 does extremely well in low light.. its just not quite as good as full light...
I would definitely go with tapes--none of this hard drive business for editing
check out camcorderinfo.com and read reviews
all the best and good luck!

Which Camcorder with HD?

I want to buy a camcorder '' Any reccomendations for which camcorder with built in HD..I should consider. Obviously must have firewire d/load. L

Hi,
We have the Sony HDR HC3 and are really enjoying it. I'm also pleased to say that it works wonderfully with iMovieHD.
Here's a review. There's a bunch on the net. Not sure what this one says though... just a high hit on Google.
I believe its no longer available on Sony's site as they have replaced it with some newer models - but we are happy.
YMMV.

Sorry, this content is not allowed - absolutely puzzled - how to resolve?

Hi all,
I tried to start a new thread today - put a lot of effort into the question - good
English, code (with tags) tested - basically no problems - forum SQL and PL/SQL
There were absolutely no offensive words, nor indeed could what I wrote
be construed as anyway offensive (in fact I positively acknowledged another
poster's contributions).
When I try to post "jive" (more like "hive" - the kind that itches) refuses
to accept my post and I get the message - "Sorry, this content is not allowed"
I tried to edit bits, move bits around, but to no avail.
What can I do to resolve this issue? Is it common?
Any ideas, references, URL's ideas, whatever appreciated.

On a more positive note, I've criticised Oracle from time to time and have had

New-B! Which camcorder to buy?

Hello all. Totally new to this forum and to video editing. I have a clean slate and am trying to figure out which camcorder to buy this weekend and was hoping for some help. What I'm looking for is good quality video (doesn't have to be great, but solid) that I can easily import to iMovie 08 and then edit with either of my computers and export the finished product to the Web, or burn to DVD using iDVD. I've been doing a lot of reading and it seems that I could have trouble with some cameras using my G5 as it is not Intel powered, so I would like to stay away from those. I'm not needing to do anything professional with this, just something that is good quality, easy to use, compatible with iMovie 08 and iDVD, and is under $1000. I would consider buying an HD Camcorder while understanding that I have to film/export in a non-HD format until I get FC down the road. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks so much

I did have a problem with Canon repair service during the first year when I bought one of their camcorders several years ago. The on-start-off switch started being intermittent after only 4-5 months and got worse from there. Canon wouldn't do the repair, as their guarantee said, and wanted to charge me a high price to do it. I operated using the remote for a long while. The camera finally wouldn't turn on at all and became totally useless.
Needless to say, I haven't purchased another Canon product since that time. Since then, I went to other makes and have spent quite a bit on both still digital cameras and, very recently now, a camcorder by Sony (HDR-HC9). I stay with the miniDV tapes for both quality and convenience purposes, and also found that I had to revert to iMovie HD (vs 6, rather than iMovie 8) in order to properly edit my videos. So far, I really like my results with the HDR-HC9 - and iMovie 6.
Incidentally, I now only purchase fine camera equipment from very well established local dealers who specialize in camera equipment rather than the big box electronic supply house where I purchased the Canon. The largest camera dealer in Atlanta told me that Canon should certainly have done the repair for me and that Canon would have - if I had purchased it from that dealer. They said that they have such a large volume that they easily pressure such camera makers to uphold their guarantees since Canon wants them to continue selling their product.
I went from a very strong preference for Canon to the opposite. The big box electronic supply house simply said it was between me and Canon and that they wouldn't help at all. So, "good price" is not at all necessarily "good deal". Besides, the good sellers will now generally try to meet the best internet prices.
Good luck.
So time has passed, but these are lessons that, at least, this one person has learned by experience. Hopefully, Canon may have corrected their problems in their service department by this time. But, I don't feel inclined to test them again myself.

This maybe a really dumb question...

I know this maybe a really dumb question but I do need to ask:
-Do I need to buy a new vista to install on my new mac?
(I have a start up one that was included with my previous pc laptop..)
-In terms of partitioning, how should I distribute space?
Thank you in advance.

jlee636:
The Boot Camp installation guide is [HERE|http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp>. It should be able to answer questions related to installation. Of course these discussions have several other information on boot camp/ windows. All you need to do is launch a search on them.
-In terms of partitioning, how should I distribute space?
Too many people make a partition very small and then regret having done so. My recommendation is to have a partition of at least 32GB. It is highly dependent on what your will be installing on Windows XP/Vista.
-Do I need to buy a new vista to install on my new mac?(I have a start up one that was included with my previous pc laptop..)
It is more than likely that the Windows disk that came with your previous PC/Laptop is an OEM disk and will only work properly with that particular PC. This is generally the case with Dell, HP, Sony etc. The installation disk in the cases above are usually branded.
For more information on which Windows version(s) work with Boot Camp then please click [HERE|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11889.html].

Sorry - this is a "which camcorder" question!
