What is the most suitable image format for processing with imaq?

Hello.
What is the most
suitable image format for processing with imaq?
I want to capture an image of a usb webcam, store and
then process it with imaq. I need to know what format to save the
captured image can then load and process it with imaq vision.
Thanks

The only criteria is: don't use JPEG for anything scientific! The compression involved with saving JPEGs means you always lose information. I tend to prefer PNG - it's compressed, but non-lossy, and also widely supported. TIFF is fine as well, but I don't think has any advantages over PNG for this application. JPEG2000 can give good non-lossy compression I think is slower to read/write than PNG.

What is the most popular Video format for pc's and Mac's to just play

I made a video that had some shots in HD using my Canon HG10 and some shot were regular NTSC. I made a final quicktime output, and gave it to my client. It plays the sound but not the video. So I condensed the video to a smaller format NTSC w/ 16:9 aspect ratio, and no she says the quality is almost not playable. Everything plays and works fine, even the same files that I give to her. She also wants to be able to play the video in loops. What is the best program for a PC to do that?
Thank you

Try exporting in Uncompressed 8 bit or Animation. Also save the file in the Quicktime Player to play in High Quality. If you export in NTSC/DV, quicktime will play a low quality version by default. Go to Window > Show Movie Properties > Video Track > Visual Settings, and check the High Quality checkbox and save the file.
I wouldn't recommend H.264. It's a lossy codec for mobile devices and the web.

What is the best camera encoding format for use with iMovie09?

I may well get a new camera, so might as well get one that likes iMovie.
Probably not DV ...given the single field processing thing...
I'd like to get good quality results (ie: good image display on DVD) without getting into proffesionnal equipment. Let say a $500US budget.
What characteristics should I look for?
Should I stay away from HD or can I get good HD quality with iMovie09? (I dont have an HD television yet, but no doubt that will come)
Thanks!
By the way: I have Final Cut Express as well, but you know, I much prefer the iMovie09 interface because to me, this is just a hobby and I can not spend too much time dealing with a fairly complex program.

Intel processor in you MB Pro? Need it to capture avchd.
regarding file size and the need for external drive:
"AVCHD output files are about 120Mb per minute of footage. The converted output file will be about four times the size of the input. This is because AVCHD is a highly compressed HD format and we are uncompressing it into a Quicktime-friendly high definition format. Our example 1 minute AVCHD clip becomes about 500Mb in size, after conversion.
The final size of a converted clip has a lot to do with the amount of movement in the clip. A lot of movement will mean a larger file. Action clips can be as high as 7 times the size of the raw clips."

Got to the App Store and search on Keyboard - there is one in colors, Keyboard Pro, and others. See if one of those looks like it would serve your needs batter than the built-in keyboard.

HT4623 What is the most current iOS version for iPhone 3G?

I have an iPhone 3G, what is the most current iOS version? I have 4.2.1 and when I tried to update, iTunes says that I have the current version. I can't seem to download any apps with 4.2.1.

That is correct,
The last release of iOS to support the 3G model was 4.2.1, released on November 22, 2010
The 3G model is now 4 and half years old.

What's the best freeware image editor for Mac OS X 10.5.5?

Hi.
I noticed Mac OS X 10.5.5 doesn't come with an image editor (mainly for photographs) like Microsoft Windows' simple MS Paint (and free Irfanview to download and use). Are there similiar ones for Mac OS X? I was going to get Paint.net, but it has no Mac support. Gimp is nice but too complex and bloated. And yes, I did a Google search but got too many hits.
Thank you in advance.

Takes about 9 seconds till it's ready to do from the moment I click the dock icon, but from that point onwards it's as fast as anything else I've used.
I love both the app and the price.
Hmm, I will try again. Which native Mac OS X port do you recommend? I see a bunch now compared what I saw one in the past.
You can download the source and compile, but there are also Leopard binaries available for slightly less new versions.
Actually 2.6.1 has just been released
http://www.gimp.org/
but the most recent binary for OS-X is here
http://darwingimp.sourceforge.net/
Mine runs with the version of X11 that comes with Leopard.
And BTW, the latest version of fink for Leopard is great. Much better interface and much easier to install, update and maintain.
Thanks. I am surprised there are no native ports still.

What is the most recent software update for mac

I have a recent MacBook pro and the most recent software update is over 1gb! I just wondered what it was? M

A really recent MacBook Pro would be running Lion, Mac OS 10.7, and the most recent update is 10.7.3. The delta update from 10.7.2 was found to cause problems and rather than fix them, the update was pulled and Lion users were directed to the "combo" updater which contained all the code necessary to update any Mac running Lion from any previous version of Lion, which is a lot of code, hence the very big download. BTW, 10.7.3 has been problematic for some software so it would be wise to explore the comments and complaints in the Lion forum before you update since you can't go back if you change your mind without having a good backup. Also BTW, this forum is for the Mac Pro; you have a MacBook Pro, which has its own forum and can probably provide you with more useful information.

What's the best video/audio format for PPCS4?

Question looks like a simple and stupid one, but I've noticed many differences using various kind of file extensions.
For example when you have to put an effect.
Mercalli is very performing if the effect is applied to an .avi file instead of a native .mpeg file taken from my Sony HDR-SR videocam.
So the question is:
If I have to change the video file format, what is the best one (or one of the best) I can use?
Avi, we know, is an uncompressed (and eavy) one, but, if you have 700/800 file to edit, maybe PP could go slowly. Am I wrong?
Of course I have tried using the same video strip differently converted.
Wait helps.
Many thanks,
Ciao

Re-thanks Harm,
I know about .ac3 audio problems, I've posted a discussion time ago concerning this trouble.
But now I'm mainly looking for a video format.
Example:
clips in native video compression are 'round 25Mb each
converted in .avi file can reach 630 Mb
Honestly I'll fill my entire pc with a format like this.
What I'm asking is a suggested kind of file that can easily work with PP and if you know a sw that do it.
I have Tmpge but I do not know how to set it for the best results (unless I just set AVI output with the problem mentioned above).
I've read on the forum that DV AVI could be a good chance but which good sw can give me this files?
Ciao

What is the default encoding file format for oracle database.

Hello,
I wanted to create all files in ANSI format irrespective of database characterset. is there any way to confirm?
please help me out.

Hello,
AS per my knowledge, UTL_FILE expects that files opened by UTL_FILE.FOPEN in text mode are encoded in the database character set And files opened by UTL_FILE.FOPEN_NCHAR in text mode are encoded in the UTF8 character set. However there is not any parameter to set default encoding format for file. It works as mentioned above.
Encoding mode is depend on database character set. If you want to change it while reading/writing file then you can use utl_encode.text_encode/ utl_encode.text_decode/ UTL_RAW.CONVERT function.
When data encoded in one character set is read and Globalization Support is told (such as by means of NLS_LANG) that it is encoded in another character set, the result is indeterminate. If NLS_LANG is set, it should therefore be the same as the database character set..
I wanted to create file using UTL_FILE. and whatever files gets create that should be in ANSI format.
Database version : 11.2.0.1

What's the Best Open Source DB for use with Kodo?

Hi everyone,
In terms of ease of setup and use, tools to view info in the database, and least difficulty in
running with Kodo, what is the best open source database to use? I'm use to using Oracle and
SQLPlus. I need to use an open source DB for a learning environment, and I'd like your informed
opinion.
Thanks,
David Ezzio

I have been using postgresql 7.1 with Kodo for a while with mostly positive results, and currently
have it deployed with Kodo 2.2.3. I prefer it to mysql because its feature set is a little richer,
and supports transactions natively. My experience with mysql (without jdo - I haven't tried it with)
is good, but there were little things missing in mysql 3.x, e.g. the ability do do a join in a
DELETE statement.
BTW, there are some severe problems somewhere in the 2.2.4 release with postgresql if you intend to
eventually deploy on it. It also apparently has some problems invoking postgresql's indices, making
it a little less than optimal. But as a learning environment, it's what I'd recommend.

David-
Here is the rundown of the databases I have experience with:
MySQL: Fairly simple to install (especially if you run Debian Linux), but
configuration, especially adding users, can be a pain. A separate open
source project called "mysql-navigator" makes it fairly easy to do
simple queries, inserts, etc. In most of my tests it outperforms
PostgreSQL, but your mileage will vary. It has a sane CLI that supports
modern features like line history, etc (unlike the horrific SQLPlus).
PostgreSQL: People often say that it is a more "academically
correct" database than MySQL. I've also found it to be quite a bit
easier to set up. Their GUI (called "pgaccess") is simplistic, but does
most things you need. Has a CLI similiar to MySQL's.
HypersonicSQL: By far the easiest to set up (just drop the jar in your
CLASSPATH), but is java only, can be rather slow, and has no GUI tools
available that I know of (except various free vanilla-JDBC GUI tools).
We feel that Kodo works quite well with all these DBs. The MySQL JDBC
driver seems a bit less buggy than Postgres', but their transaction
support is very recent and not very well tested. If I had to pick one or
the other, I would probably go with MySQL.

What is the optimum still image size for use in Premiere Pro?

I'm pretty new to Premiere Pro so please excuse any extreme stupidity.
I'm creating a film comprised of various interview footage. I intend to drop in stills (and possibly scan and pan around on them). The still images are coming from various sources and will have been shot on various formats.
I requested high res images but have been asked what size I want the images to be in mm. Can anyone advise?
The resulting film will be shown on Vimeo and on a website, but there is also further scope for high def projection possibly. The film is HD 1080x1920
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Make sure that whoever is supplying stills is measuring them in PIXELS. Not MM, not Inches, not DPI - but PIXELS. Nothing else matters in video.
Your "canvas" in Premiere will be 1920x1080 pixels (for 1080 HD), so that is the minimum size any still ought to be in order to fill the frame without having to scale it up (quality loss). Of course, if the image is portrait-style, then it will NOT fill the frame, but rather will have black on the sides, or replacement background as others have suggested. In that case, make sure that the height is then at least 1080 pixels (width will be narrower than 1920).
You said you wanted to pan and scan, like Ken Burns, so then you'd want images larger than the 1920x1080, such as the 3456x2304 that was suggested. This allows you to zoom in to some degree using available pixels in the image without actually upscaling the image at all. The more you wish to zoom in, the more pixels you need to accomplish that without degrading the quality by "blowing up" the image.
Good luck

What's the most appropriate Adobe app for creating interactive apps and websites?

I recently had a potential customer call wanting someone to create an interactive website for customers to use on an iPad in his lobby. Ideally, I'd like to be able to incorporate cool animations, transitions and open video elements. I have no idea what to use to create something like that, and looking at the Adobe apps, I'm more confused than ever. A web search suggested InDesign could do it, but now it looks like Muse might be more appropriate...or maybe Edge Animate.
I'm guessing you Muse experts will have the right answer. Time is limited, but I'm committed to learning this new skill so I want to focus on the right software. Help?

Edge Animate would be a good choice to create animated and interactive content - http://html.adobe.com/edge/animate/.
You could then insert Edge Animate content directly into your Muse website. Take a look at this article - http://helpx.adobe.com/en/muse/tutorials/inserting-edge-content-muse-website.html.

What is the most plain xml format to import clips and sequence into Premiere ?

I want to create xml includes sequence and clips to import Premeire.
In this case, I have a reference xml that is exported from premiere for finalcut pro. But this finalcut pro export format looks so complicated because has alot of property that is belong to premiere pro. I tested by deleting some of them from xml and imported again, didn't effected anything.
Here is the question, How can I create an xml which requires minimum property details for premiere sequence and clips ? Is there any reference better than FinalCut Pro export xml format ?

Bruce from adobe replied that FCP Format is the best to import Premiere.
So I read FCP Format Documentation from http://documentation.apple.com/en/finalcutpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=97%26section=3 %26tasks=true

I know there are apps that allow you to work with excel, like documents to go, but I use formatting and cosmetic design in excel . . .
which app works best with excel sheets on iPad and also allows for more robust formatting, etc?
Thank you!

I think: Oracle is suitable for enterprise-level DBs, MSSQL for medium or small ones.

What is the preferred video file format for iMovie? About to purchase POS digital camera w ability to record HD Video.

I am about to purchase a digital point and shoot camera with the ability to record HD video. I plan on importing all pics and video to iPhoto and want to begin creating iMovies combining photo's and the video clips.
It seems from the many posts that .MOV is supported in iMovie, but many posts in the community seemed to suggest that .MOV does not always work in iMovie.

YEAH, but "iMovie" changes the "camcorder Mts" files into "mov" files and
this causes some lost of movie quality. To maintain the highest quality
camcorder movie quality you must not change the "mts" files. However, if
you want to "merge" any of your camcorder movies (and you most likely
will) any merging also changes the "mts" files to "mov" etc., so you will still
loose movie quality. "There appears to be no way to avoid loosing picture
quality once you decide to change the "Mts" files to something other".
