What kind of video intro can I get away with?

I would like to have a video of about the size and quality of this apple Final Cut Studio NAB video.
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/action/?movie=nab
Only not nearly as long. Well under a minute for sure! Can I get away with this in iweb with autoload setup for the initial splash screen of my website. I'll be using a .mac account.
Is there a way to make it have some type of loading indicator and a skip past intro thing? Will it take 3 days to load? Advise? Thanks!

Hello John,
The biggest factor on whether people will watch your movie intro is dependent on their connection speed. If all your viewers have cable/dsl then it probably isn't a problem, if you are getting lots of low speed visitors then they won't take the time to let it load—probably.
If you don't already have Statcounter ( http://www.statcounter.com/ ) and or Goggle Analytics ( http://www.google.com/analytics/ ) you should get both. This will allow you to monitor your visitor demographic, giving you the ability to design your site to the needs of the majority.... plus it is fun to see hits come in from across the country and around the world.
Any how, I degress. Even if all your users have fast connection speeds you will probably have better luck with a flash movie which yields a higher quality to lower size ratio then the Quicktime format. Plus, more people have flash installed on their computers then Quicktime. If you don't have a flash converter you can get a resonably priced conveter at http://www.verticalmoon.com/products/video2swf/video2swf.htm
The only problem with using flash (I currently still use Quicktime) is that you will have to add your movies in post publish. Hope that helps.
Kind Regards,

What kind of video formats can i use to import into imovie?

Hello,
Adobe stopped supporting flash for android since ICS. You may still be able to download the latest (old) flash player "at your own risk" from Adobe archived flash player versions:

As for video streaming, there are lot of apps for that and it's just a matter of your preference.
Hope that helps

Boot Camp what Windows disk can i get away with?

looking to put boot camp on our i-mac, also want to upgrade our windows laptop to windows 7.
Do i have to buy the Ultimate or Professional (windows 7) version or can i get away with Windows 7 Home Premium?
Thanks

Chart here:
http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/win7skuscompare.asp
The number of physical processors (sockets) is limited to only one with Home Premium. Professional or Ultimate allow for 2.
You could have Mac Pro 2006-7 with two dual-core processors and need Professional x64 to use both and to use more than 2GB.

Can I get away with 150ppi?

Hi,
Im designing a poster (A3). As I know 300ppi is the acceptable standard for high quality printing but Its not a simple task to find materials in that resolution. What you think…can I get away with 150 ppi instead? This poster is for educational proposes only.
Thank
S

150 ppi will not hold < 12 pt type very well. Of course a raster doc won't hold it well at all if you're printing to a low linescreen.
All answers depend on your exact printing process.
But if you can keep the elements in your design that should be vector (traditionally logos and type) as vector, then cheating to 150 ppi will be OK.
I would create your document at the highest image resolution and upsample files. No sense in throwing away info on the files that have it. Of course I don't have to upsample much as I never steal from the internet and retch high-quality images. So someone else might be able to speak to the advantage/disadvantage of this.

HT1766 What kind of trade in can I get for my iPad 3G 64G

I have a Wi-Fi 3G and I am looking to upgrade. What kind of pricing am I looking at as a trade in?

Best Buy and Amazon will also give you store credit for trade ins. THey have online calculators you can explore, putting in the model and condition and get an estimate of what they'll pay you (actual amount depends on condition when they examine it)
Best Buy you can walk in, Amazon you have to mail it in.

What kind of graphics cards can I get?

I have a Compaq Presario CQ50 107NR
My graphics card is GeForce 8200M G
I need a better graphics card but I do not know what is compatible with the laptop. Can someone give me a list of upgraded graphics cards I can get? I am wanting to play Diablo 3 but my card is too weak.

Hi:
The video adapters are not upgradable without replacing the entire motherboard. The only motherboard I see with better graphics has the GeForce 9200M, which I doubt will be much better.
You would be better off selling or trading your notebook in and buying one with the graphics solution you are looking for.

What kind of video format can i use in photoshop cc?

i tried to import mp4, mov, mpeg etc....all didn't work. what can i do?

Are you getting any error messages?
You could try resetting your preferences (just before starting photoshop hold down the 3 modifier keys
{shift+ctrl/command+alt/option}
When photoshop starts you will get a pop up asking if you want your preferences reset, just click yes and if that message does not appear try again)

For MPEG-1, you need to convert to DV using MPEG Streamclip.

How can Nokia get away with it?!

Words cannot express how angry I am today, Nokia are taking every opportunity to make sure I never buy one of their handsets EVER again.
A few days ago I discovered the new v5 firmware was available for my N70, fantastic I thought, perhaps this will finally solve the problems I have with my phone, constantly resetting itself, not being able to enable SMS delivery reports, not being able to manually select a network, dropping calls when switching between 3G/2G, the list goes on..
I call Phonezone in Newton Abbot, my nearest service center, and ask them if they have the new firmware for the N70, yes they say, are you sure its v5 you have I ask, yes they say. Great. So today I make the 60mile round-trip to Newton to have my phone upgraded. I hand my handset over and come back for it 45 minutes later, all seems to be OK, but it still hasn't fixed the SMS reports or network selection problem, then I think to check the firmware version, low-and-behold, they have simply reflashed it wih version 3.
I head back to the shop, explain I already had version 3 and wanted version 5, the guy says he thought he had done that, and when I show him the version display on the handset he mumbles about some problem with 2 different versions of the generic software. I ask if he will put v5 on for me now, but he says he's now too busy, but he can do it if I leave my phone over the weekend, I can't be without my phone for that long and don't live in the area, so I say no, his only other alternative was for me to come back the next week.
So to summarise, I went 60miles, spent £15 on fuel, £2 on parking and £3 on coffee while I waited to have my phone reflashed with exactly the same thing as it came with. I could have stayed at home and achieved the same by doing a hard-reset.
Why is it Nokia persist to offer upgrades in this ridiculous manner? With my Sony Ericsson I could have sat down with a (free!) cup of coffee and done the upgrade online from the comfort of my chair in under 10 minutes. With Nokia I will have had to travel for 2 hours, 120 miles, at a cost of nearly £40 just to have a phone that is under warranty flashed with a firmware that may or may not fix my problems!
Absolutely ridiculous. Get this sorted Nokia, you've already lost me as a future customer.

It's not this single event, it's Nokia's whole after-sales support arrangement that has me annoyed.
The support and repair system is completely decentralised, with seemingly random shops having Service Center status, which is why you end up with situations where big cities like Exeter don't have a single Nokia service shop but tiny towns like Newton Abbot do. This de-centralisation leads to a complete breakdown in policy enforcement and standards.
The previous time I was getting the firmware upgraded I phoned round several service centres, one said they couldn't upgrade N70s without sending them away for 10 days, another said they would but they would not install the generic firmware for me (as I was on 3 at the time), another said they would swap the firmware over to generic but for £20, then final one I called said they would do it for free. These discrepancies becomes more evident in the actual service centres, some seem to be very professional, know exactly what they are talking about and what they are doing, others seem to know very little about the phones and make up policy on the spot.
Two of the service centres I have visited have been very organised, given me a receipt for my phone, had me fill in proper Nokia staionary forms and generally been professional, the others I have visited have not given me a receipt for my phone, even on request, not asked me to fill in forms, and not really seemed to know what was happening.
As for charges, I have been told on seperate occasions (sometimes by the SAME service centre) that firmware upgrades are:
- free under warranty
- free under warranty if there is problem with the handset
- £10 under warranty, £20 if not
- £20 regardless of warranty status.
And as for changing firware variant some of the replies I've had:
- we cannot change firmware variants, it is illegal
- we can change the variant but it will cost you £20
- we can change the variant for free as part of a normal upgrade
What is the correct policy?! I would say to anyone who's service centre tries to charge them for an upgrade, just phone around, eventually you will find one that will do it for free!
Then there is the attitude of the staff, as before, some are very nice and understand that performing firmware upgrades is part of their duty as service centres and they do it when you ask, as quickly as possible. Others seem to take the attitude that firmware upgrades are a 'favour' they are doing for you, that because you're not handing over any money they can make you wait or refuse to do it.
Having been a Sony Ericsson user for many years this system just completely baffles me. SE have an expansive support website for every phone they make, with latest firmware, patches, new applications, tools, FAQq, Tips and Tricks and troubleshooting guides. All this can be done from the website, even the firmware upgrades. SE's ethos was very much one of allowing the owner of the phone to have access to the latest upgrades as and when they want. Nokia seem to keep firmware upgrades almost a secret, then make it hard to get them when the are available. Your average Nokia user, who doesn't use websites like this, has no idea that upgrades are even available.

Why is Verizon so vile, and how can you get away with it?

Just got off the phone with someone on my 5th call to Verizon customer service on the same issue. They promised me additional data, for a price, then failed to add that data to my account. The first two calls they promised all was good and it would get applied on the next month. 3 more calls later I'm told it was never added, and that I'm out of luck. Seriously! I've now spend hours on this, and now I'm told to pound sand?
Previously, we also returned a device to verizon, that they said they never received. When I told them I would take them to small claims, she put me on hold, came back a few minutes later, then said that they got the device back? Wait I've been calling for months on this issue and the problem above and she magically finds it in 2 minutes. Just proves how crooked your company is.
I've posted about this on Facebook, and lots of my family and friends have had simlar experiences. I used to have t-mobie, and they were awesome. Just because yor the biggest today, doesn't mean that will be the case forever. Keep treating your cutomers like this and see where they end up.
Shame on Verizon, as it's a terrible terrible company.

I am thinking of swapping to FInal Cut Pro X. Can I get away with buying a 2010 Mac Pro to use?

Would you recommend eight or twelve cores? Is the speed that important? How much memory? I read so much conflicting information. Sites that say anything over eight cores isn't worth it. Or you should only use six outof the eight memory slots. Or a single 3.33 quad core is better than 2.4 with eight cores.
I will be editing 1920x1080 60p either 35Mbps MPEG4 or 28Mbps AVCHD. Typically a single camera. Sometimes a multi camera shot.
I thought I would ask the Apple forum. I have read the minimum requirements for the software. But I know it is better to talk to people that actually use the product.

For what your editing and with only a single avchd camera, I would go for fewer cores and a higher cpu.
A 12 core would be overkill and would probably give you slower performance in tasks not directly related to export rendering.
A 4 core 3.33 quad core is absolutely faster than a 8 or even 12 core 2.4 in all tasks that don't use many cores. And Most tasks don't. But if given a choice, I prefer a six or eight core rather than a 4 core and would recommend enough memory and the highest cpu you could afford.
16 gigs or more of memory should be good and remember the graphics card. FCP X really takes advantage of the newer OpenCL cards that were recently released for Mac from ATI and Nvidia.

Ok, so what kind of videos CAN I get on my Zen?

/Ok, so what kind of videos CAN I get on my Zen?S I just bought a Zen. Been trying for 2 days to load ANY videos on my player and getting nowhere. There's probably something simply that I just don't know.
I bought a movie and a TV episode from Itunes. Downloaded to PC. Can't get them onto my Zen. Tried Creative converter, got error. No description of the error just that the conversion was "unsuccessful". I tried several other converters from on-line. Still errors.
I tried to copy multiple DVD's from the DVD dri've to my PC (to then I assume convert somehow to the Zen), they all say they are protected so I can't copy them.
So what kind of videos CAN I get on my player? It's pretty useless to have video capabilities if you can't use it at all.
Can anyone help?
Sign me, aggravated.

I can't help you with iTunes, because I studiously avoid that software. But check your personal messages for more help.

What kind of videos can I use?

I had a question, what kind of videos can i upload onto a new nano?
See, I have a DVD of my family reunion, someone video taped it and put it on DVD. Is it legal to use that DVD?
And I was wonering...if so, how do i get it onto the ipod? I have never used an ipod with video...so the itunes part is completely new to me.
Just to tell you though, my XP does not play dvds....any suggestions?

Whats t&c?
Anyway in most contries your aloud to make backups of your DVD and rip them to watch on your iPod.
Programms which do that include Handbrake and VisualHub.
But if its a DVD you burned yourself, you should be able to convert the files on the DVD with either Quicktime or iSquint without any of the other programms.
iSquint is great much faster than Quicktime and free.
