What is Jailbreak software?

Please excuse me if this is a stupid question, but what exactly is Jailbreak?
It's been a hot topic on another iPhone board. There is plenty of discussion on the instalation process, but I'm not ever sure what it does.
Thanks!

Jailbreak opens up the iPhone's file system so it can be modified to install other things not provided or approved by Apple to be used with the iPhone. This is against Apple's iPhone software licensing agreement and although some use this with no problems, there are some risks involved with doing so. If this causes any problems, it can void the warranty.
Apple plans to release an iPhone SDK - Software Developers Kit in February for 3rd party software development for the iPhone. Although Apple will retain some control with this process, any 3rd party software provided this way will not void the warranty with any associated problems.

    I have old unedited home video doesn't seem to recognize it. What process or software or both do I need to do this?

    The easiest and cheapest way is to use HandBrake to convert your DVDs to H.264 that FCP X can use.
    Download Handbrake free here  http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
    Put your DVD in the Mac, launch HandBrake and let it rip your DVD to H.264
    You can then import the files into FCP X.
    Professional editors will be apoplectic about me recommending HandBrake but for what you are doing the quality will be fine.

    Hi Cereskit
    Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?

  • I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera.  Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ?  What hardware and software should I include in the package?

    I am putting together a proposal for a Final Cut Pro Workstation to use with a tapeless HD camera.  Can anyone suggest the best camera (in the 5-10,000 dollar range) ?  What hardware and software should I include in the package?

    This is quite an open suggestion, but here are some ideas which might get you started.  There are good HD cameras in your price range from Sony, Panasonic and Canon (and maybe other manufacturers). Tapeless formats vary.  I have only worked with Sony XDCAM which seems pretty good to me.  File sizes for material shot at 35MBS are not too huge and, with the free Sony transfer and conversion programme, are easy to bring into the computer via USB direct from the camera or from a fairly inexpensive converter.  The Sony XDCAM EX3 can produce results well up to broadcast quality.
    As to hardware, you'll need a powerful MAC - iMac, Macbook Pro or MacPro with 4GB or more of RAM and a good video card.  Softwarewise, FCPX is quite a bit cheaper than FC Studio 3 and of course it's 64bit and can make better use of multi-core machines than FCP7.    It's also designed to handle HD formats with less hassle than FCP7 and is matched to the latest versions of Motion and Compressor.   But you'd probably be wise to search reviews of FCPX before you make your choice - it has some issues.
    A good HD monitor will be essential and, for colour correction etc, you may want to consider a second monitor or HD TV foe editing. ( A MacPro is generally the best machine to connect a second monitor to). 
    This should give you a good editing system, but there are many other things you could add (Photoshop, professional sound monitors, etc)
    Hope this helps a bit.
