VIDEO "THE NEW STANDARD"

*_VIDEO RECORDING CAPABILITIES_*
Okay so why does Apple not come out with a Video Application for the iPhone? In a previous discussion it was mentioned that less expensive phones have video capabilities. Obsolete phones have video and iPhone does not. That is pathetic and it is inconvenient. I am used to being able to shoot clips of Sunsets, me at the club, scenic drives, etc..., or if an event needs to be documented on the drop of a hat like a hit and run or so forth people should be able to this naturally and it should be the standard for any phone that is manufactured after the "so called" obsolete phones.
*When and why not yet is my question?* I patiently await your response.
Thank you.

Archaekz,
We're users on this forum just like yourself. Even if we were Apple employees we couldn't divulge information that hasn't been made public.
Why would you think that any of us here would have that information if you didn't?

  • Pre-ordered Macbook Air, how do I transfer my DV Camera videos the new Mac?

    Okay, I just pre-ordered a new Macbook Air to complement my Mac Pro...
    There is one problem though...
    I bought the Air so I can start editing the video I shot while on the go, so if there's no Firewire support to the Air, how do I transfer the videos that I recorded from the DV Tape to Macbook Air?
    Do I actually have to buy a new tapeless camcorder?
    (note: I was planning on buying a new HD tapeless camcorder, but at later time... But if Macbook Air cannot connect to any Mini DV camera, do I have to buy the new camera early?)

    Hi there! Don't cancel that order just yet...
    Firstly, as already stated, Firewire cameras won't work with the Air. So you'll be needing one of those shiny new tapeless cameras.
    As for how much space HD video takes up, it depends on what format the camera shoots in.
    iMovie '08 works great with the latest tapeless cameras that shoot on SD cards, in the AVCHD format. A great example is the Panasonic HDC-SD1, or the SD5 and SD9.
    These cameras can fit up to 6 hours of footage onto a 16gb SD-HC card. So, as long as you have about 16gb of space left on your MacBook Air's hard drive, you'll be able to fit about 6 hours of footage. Of course, this will vary depending on what quality setting you shoot in.
    Once you're done with your edit, do you need to keep that video on your MacBook Air's drive? Probably not- consider archiving it to a usb hard drive, or even a wireless network drive. Or just delete it once you've burned to dvd via a usb dvd-burner, or uploaded it to the internet. Viola- you've freed up enough room for your next project.
    If you're going to be using your notebook for editing all the time, then definitely consider either the MacBook or the MacBook Pro. But for occasional editing, the Air will do just fine.
    As always, it depends on your needs.

  • Is 2gigs of ram the new standard?

    I own a macbook pro 15" core duo with 1 gig of ram. I'm wondering if I will benefit from upgrading to 2gigs of ram. Is 2gigs the new 1gig?

    Absolutely. If you have any plans on running Parallels with Windows XP or anything else, 2GB of RAM is necessary, in my opinion. 1GB does the job well, on a PC for a Win XP machine. However, for "flashy" Mac OS X and its video/picture editing, DVD burning, fun-loving times, 2GB is highly recommended nowadays. With Leopard's new shiny dock and other features, an extra gig of RAM will definitely come in handy as well. Check out www.newegg.com, www.tigerdirect.com, or other retailers for RAM much cheaper than what Apple sells it for, and sometimes of better quality. Just be sure to match the RAM type (DDR2 SO-DIMM) and the bus speed (can't recall, 667 MHz maybe?) EXACTLY to your system's requirements.

  • Does Captivate content work with the new standard, Experience API (xAPI)?

    I have developed SCORM conformant courses, but my current customer-base does not use a Learning Management System (LMS).  The eXperience API (xAPI) tracks user experiences using a Learning Record Store (LRS) rather than an LMS.
    According to Adobe marketing, Captivate 8.01 (which I have) publishes content for use with xAPI.  The Captivate help does not include any directions or assistance on xAPI.
    Has anyone used Captivate products with xAPI and an LRS?  Can you point me in a direction to find out more information on this??
    My fear is that this will require far more programming experience (xAPI is open source) than I have.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    You can publish the Captivate project as xAPI output by going to Edit > Preferences > Quiz > Reporting and selecting TinCan from the Standard dropdown list.
    However, Captivate can only track the same elements as that of a SCORM output even with TinCan.

  • Standard Username an Password for the new Release2 As Portal?

    i have installed the Applicationserver Release2 with Portal , but i can not access to the Portal with the Standard Username and Password , i need the new Standard username and Password for the new Oracle Portal(Release2)
    the same Problem is with the Standard Username and Password for the iasdb (IAS Database on the Infrastructure Server !)

    Hi,
    You are facing strange problems with SDN :). May be connection at your end is too slow..
    For the problem:
    It seems you need a login password page. If this is your reuirement. Simple solution is create a page with two labels,two input fields, save and reset buttons. The login/pwd on submitted with validated by quering the database. Is your question - how to query the database ?
    May be you can create a javabean to do that (you can use jdbc for logic). Later import the JavaBean as JavaBeanModel in Web Dynpro. Map the model to context in the view and use the context.

  • Can I get rid of Exchange with the new Server just released?

    Hi, I saw the new 8 core machine and all the programs. I also recieved an email from Apple telling me about all the calendaring it has.
    I want to get rid of Exchange. I have Outlook on 99.9% the clients, however, and they're not going to get rid of Windows or Office any time soon. Will the new server just released and the server software do Exchange server calendaring, scheduling, etc. just like (or better) than Exchange does?
    Thanks.

    iCalServer uses the new standard CalDAV protocol for calendaring. Exchange uses MS's own proprietary protocols - we do not have those implemented in iCalServer. As a result your existing Outlook users can't use iCalServer right now.
    The good news is that there is at least one group working on a plugin for Outlook that will enable access to iCalServer. Whilst this is still alpha quality right now progress is being made, and hopefully in the near future thee will be something usable. See <http://openconnector.org>.

  • Can the new MacBook Air 13" with the i3 processor run Adobe Connect?

    I need a new computer for college this fall. I really am leaning towards the MacBook Air, 13" model with the i3 Processor and an upgrade to 8 GB ram. Will this (w/ a 1.3GHz Processor) run Adobe Connect? It says it requires 1.83GHz for Mac. So is it not fast enough? Should I just get the pro? :/
    Here is the site on Adobe...
    http://www.adobe.com/products/adobeconnect/tech-specs.html
    Any help is appreciated. :)

    I agree that the Retina display is only truly useful for photographers, etc; but as someone who owns a 13 inch Retina MBP and had a 13 inch MBA, I wouldn't necessarily clssify the non-Retina machines as "better".  The difference in display quality is quite noticeable, I like it, and I've never had a problem running non-optimized websites or apps on the machine and I'm fussy about displays. Maybe that's because I've left it running at default settings.
    It really all depends on where you want to put your bucks.  In general, you can get slightly better performance for the same money with a non-Retina machine.
    That said, if you're looking at benchmarks and using Geekbench, a 1.3 i5 2013 MBA comes out at 5940-5950; my 2012 2.5 i5 Retina benches out at 6777, so it's slightly faster but not remarkably so.  The 2013 1.7 i7 MBA will match up with it and even exceed it a bit, at least until the Retinas are upgraded with Haswell later.  I suspect they'll be faster, though it depends on what chips Apple uses and how much battery life they want to trade off for it.  Also, you are using some graphics power with the Retina just to process the display, and the newer Intel graphics GPU's are generally stronger than the 4000 series in the current Retina, so that's a littl bit of the trade off you'd make.
    The newer models have a faster disk access system and 8011.ac wireless though the latter is problematic at the moment and it will take some time for Apple to fix that.  You'll also not be able to take too much advantage of the faster wirelss speeds immediately unless you buy a new (8011.ac) router; it will take a few years before the rest of the world catches up to the new standard.  The 13 Retina MBP has an extra Thunderbolt port..which I routinely use..and an HDMI slot not present on the MBA.
    Just do your homework, consider all your needs, and get what serves you best.

  • A video camera that looks as good as the EOS 5DIII & the new 70D

    Hi everyone.  I really want to make myself clear on my questions, so I'm going to preface them with a short wall of text.  My apologies.  
    I work for local government and we film political meetings, PSA's, informational videos, documentaries, and local government events (groundbreakings, ribbon cuttings, roundtables, etc).  We are still entirely standard definition.  For the past 7-9 years we've only used Canon XL1's and XL2's, but in the last 2 years we've gone tapeless.  
    For our first foray into this, we first bought  JVC GY-HM150U's (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/821133-REG/JVC_GY_HM150U_GY_HM150U_ProHD_Handheld_Memory.html).  Our main desires here were:  small, universal file type (we use several different editing systems), a "super full auto mode" for our non-advanced users, XLR inputs for microphones, relatively inexpensive, and SD or CF card slots.  Obviously, we nailed all of these features with this camera, but the video quality is lower than we could've expected.  
    At the same time, we purchased a Canon EOS 5D Mark III for taking still pictures during events.  Then, to our ultimate downfall, we started using it for interviews and documentary type shoots.  I'm sure I don't need to tell you all the shock we were in for when it came to the amazing picture quality of this camera.  To take these two cameras on a shoot together is pointless as the JVC's could not even come close to the quality of the Canon's.  However, we cannot use the 5D as a primary camera during these shoots for several reasons (which I'll point out below).  We began following the development of the new EOS 70D with interest when we found out it woud fix some of these features.  Coincidentally, another department of ours purchased one and we were able to use it for a few shoots.  It does seem to have as good a picture quality as the 5D, but it still lacks some features we need.  
    So, in preparing next years budget, I'm looking for actual video cameras with the amazing picture quality of the 5DIII and the 70D, but doens't have the limitations of a still photography camera.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Problems with the 5DIII as a primary video camera:
    no follow focus, only records for 30 minutes segments, only 3.5mm audio input (need XLR)
    Problems with 70D as a primary video camera:
    no headphone output, can't adjust audio input levels while recording, still only records 30 minute segments, 3.5mm audio input
    I'm an Audio / Video technician and video editor.  I do a lot of filming, but do not know much of the science and technology behind the inner working of the cameras.  As an example of our programs, below are two things I filmed with the EOS 5DIII.
    Thank you all in advance for any help you can provide.

    I'm not a video guy.  Canon lists their Cinema EOS video cameras on a separate section than they use for their EOS cameras.
    The cinema cameras and their specs can be found here:  http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/professional/products/professional_cameras/cinema_eos_cameras
    Based on specs, I'm thinking you would probably be well-served by the C100.  It takes the same EOS EF lenses as your 5D III so you can get the look you want.  It records in AVCHD with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 -- which is fairly common.
    The cards are formatted FAT32 although it says it can record continuously for up to 12 hours.  I'm not sure how it pulls this off because no single file on a FAT32 filesystem which constrains individual files to a maximum of 2GB (that's a filesystem limit... not a camera or operating system limit).   I'm "guessing" that it automatically creates a new file and just keeps streaming video as one file fills up.
    You should probably rent one to make sure it meets your needs.

  • Why is Apple not supporting Firewire on the new Video 60g or the Nano

    Does anyone know if there is a way to enable Firewire support on the new Video IPod or NANO. I cannot believe that Apple has released this product with only USB support. I am at 1 hr to upload 1000 songs out of 9000. Absurd.
    Is there an update or a way around this.

    I'm a big fan of Firewire myself but I guess it's just a lot easier to switch over to USB 2.0 as the standard.
    You're using USB 1.1, that's why your transfer rate is so slow.
    Do yourself an enormous favor and set your iPod to Manage Manually in iPod Options to avoid accidentally Auto Updating your iPod with USB 1.1

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch with the new iTunes, it has lost all of my music and videos from my iPod/old iTunes library: including all but 4 songs of my bought songs, videos and audeobooks!

    I have recently updated my computer since my old one broke and therefore had to download a new iTunes. When I came to add my iPod to this new iTunes, I was given no option to transfer the contents of my iPod library to this new iTunes and was forced to try 'sync'; when my old computer was repaired once we lost all of our data so I had to download a new iTunes then,all of my iPod downloads were transferred and I could easily reburn my CDs so I didn't think the wiping of my iPod would be a problem. When I clicked 'sync' it warned me that it would replace the contents of my iPod with the new iTunes library, as I said I didn't think this would be a problembut then it asked if it should transfer my recent iTunes downloads so I said 'yes'. The sync was completed but now I only have 4 downloaded songs and 5 albums which I burned to my new iTunes! I have lost all the music I bought, all the videos I bought and all the audiobooks I bought! (Luckily I still have my apps.) I tried to restore backup but realised that only covers calendars, contacts E.T.C and I checked my iTunes account and that shows all my downloads but I can't see a way to restore them or anything like that!
    Please help! I am in despair as you can imagine how much moneys worth I have lost and am losing faith in Apple

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • Hi,,does the new 2011 imac 27 inch U.S version  support any pal signal inputs as video or hdmi through the video recorder device or kanex xd ?

    Hello,,
    I have 1 question please,,,
    does the new 2011 imac 27 inch from USA support or lay any PAL signal ??
    as for example
    I have a friend who lives in the middle east &  has kanex xd & he wants to connect it with the imac 27 inch from Satellite receiver  or PS3 though HDMI cable,, but yet the signal is PAL not NTSC in the middle east,, so will the imac 27 inch play the movie from the satellite in full colour or in blue & says cannot play the movie because its not NTCS ?  because this is U.S version  of imac then he might need an convertor?
    the same as if he want to record any hdmi or analog  device from his video recorder  device,,but the input is pal,,so will it plays normal in the U.S machine or will he find any trouble ???
    so can you pls give me an advice for him
    should he buy the imac from the U.S store or the europe store ??
    N.b : there is no mac store ONLINE in the middle east espicaly in Gulf, thats why he want to buy the imac from the mac store online,,

  • Is there ANY way to do S-Video or composite TV out on the new white MB?

    Apparently the mini-DVI to Video adapter doesn't work with the newer white MacBooks now.
    I hope there is some way to do TV-out to an older TV that only has S-video and RCA composite inputs. Is there? Not all of us have high end TVs with DVI or HDMI inputs.

    I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

    if you're not in a big rush - why not hold off until Adobe and Microsoft releases an update to support the Retina Screen.
    Don't get me wrong - the Macbook Retina is a good and videos look great - but when it comes to Photoshop, it's a little blurry and the fonts in Excel and Word is pretty blurry too.....I own one....
    In any event, if it's something you can live with - then by all means - go for it.....
    Otherwise - get the non Retina Macbook Pro - it's cheaper, and it's user upgradeable in both RAM and Hard Drive.
    Good luck.
