What's the BEST MINI DV deck to use with FCP 5?

I'm tired of using my Gl-1's to capture with. My small zr50 doesn't work that great for a dv deck.
Tell me what brands you have had complete success with.

I'm looking at buying a DVCPro deck to add to my
arsenal right now, which will also play mini-dv and
DVCAM, so depending on what else is going on in your
market, that might be something to look into.
I bought my DSR-11 when I lived in San Francisco.
Outside of news, nobody used DVCPro. All shoots
were hired for DVCAM, Beta, or HD. So I bought a
DVCAM deck. Around Des Moines, nobody shoots DVCAM.
It's all DVCPro and mini dv, and I shoot HD
occasionally.
AJ-SD93, very sweet machine! this is the vtr i would love to have.
thrillcat, RAGBRAI overnights in waukee, close to des moines this year. if you're out there with your camera video taping folks in lycra who shouldn't be wearing it and should know better, i'll wave at your camera as i'm zipping by!

  • What is the best anti virus software to use with OS X 10.8?

    What is the best anti virus software to use with OS X 10.8?  Norton is slowing my iMac down and I'm constantly being bombarded by blocking messages for programs I don't recognize.
    Thanks

    Get rid of Norton a/k/a Symantec. It is one of the worst pieces of trash you can install on a Mac.
    You do not need any additional anti-virus software than is already designed into OS X to protect your Mac against malware. I assume you paid enough for your iMac and that's part of what you paid.
    If you use Windows, or are concerned about harboring viruses that target Windows, or care about friends who use Windows, then get ClamXav. It's in the App Store and it is free.
    Since friends don't let friends use Windows, I have no use for it.

  • What is the best third part converter to use with my IPad2 in order to import my videos from my PC?

    I have 70 videos I use in my work and want to import them into my IPad2.  What is the best third party converter to use?

    There is Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr) - aren't the videos compatible with iTunes on your computer, if they are then you can always do Advanced > Create iPad Version if they don't currently sync to the iPad. There are also a number of third-party iPad apps that support other video formats

  • 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.

    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 best touch screen display to use with a Mac mini?

    Hello, forgive me I am not an expert when it comes to technology. I am thinking of changing my work computer system to a Mac mini at the moment as we have limited space and love the design of the Mac mini. We currently have an outdated dell computer linked to an ELO touch screen as part of our till system. I was just wondering if there were any recommended touch screen monitors that work well (not to much driver hassle) with the mini and are thin and easy on the eye.
    Any advice would be gratefully received.
    Many Thanks

  • What are the best quality wireless speakers for use with iTunes

    I'm not sure which is the best forum for this.  SO here goes:
    I want to replace my wired powered speakers from my iMac with wireless so I can place them further away and clean up the desptop area.  I want decent sound and volume not tinny little portable junk.  But it doesn't need to meet audiophile standards either,
    What am I looking for?  Thanks.

    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."

  • What is the best external hard drive to use with a macbook?

    I am looking to buy an external hard drive for my macbook pro (2010).  I understand that some hard drives have issues when used with Lion.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for which is the best to buy?

    Any hard drive should work. I don't know of any issues caused by a specific brand of hard drive for working with Lion.
    Now as far as the hard drive itself goes there are a few options. Most external drives run at 7200 rpm. Some however still run at 5400 rpm (rpm is the speed of the disk in layman's terms). Faster is better in most cases, however they do produce slightly more sound and run hotter, but not by much.
    Then there is also the choice between USB and FireWire (thunderbolt is still to pricy). FireWire runs faster, but is more expensive.
    Those are your choices.

  • What is the best CD and DVD to use with my new iMac Intel?

    Guys, please help. I am not great on the computers and need a bit of help and advice. Just brought a brand new iMac Intel G5. This is to replace my older but much loved iMac G4, which is very simple to use. Have had nothing but trouble with the new one which was especially brought to copy CD's and DVD's and to have a good play with. After much head scratching have just been told by Apple help desk that the new intels may not like CD-R. These disks worked fine on my old Mac, brought a new pack (100). I can copy information and burn to these disks using Disk Utility. BUT they can only be read on the Intel iMac, not on my old mac or PC at work. This is only simple word and pdf files, nothing complicated. Copying and burning DVD's even more of a nightmare. What makes and formats do you recommend that I use? I can copy to DVD+R. Your advise would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Townie1978

  • What is the Best UK Hotspot Provider for using with the ipod Touch ?

    Just ordered my new ipod touch and can't wait to start using it. I just wondered whether anybody here in the UK had done any research regarding what Hotspot Provider to sign up with? I know there is the BT Openzone option or possibly a new company called 'The Cloud' that looks OK ... then there is the 'pay as you go' option or monthly contract choice to make? I know my ultimate choice might depend on what usuage I want or where I am most likely to want wifi? But any comments, observations or user experiences would be welcome.
    Thanks.
    Jon.

    The Cloud have an account specifically for iPod Touch users. I haven't set anything up on mine as I use my mobile for surfing when out and about - but I do check to see if there's free wi fi available before I use the mobile.

  • What is the best version of Firefox to use with Windows 7?

    Ever since I've started using Windows 7 I've had issues with Firefox. It randomly crashes or becomes unresponsive, it slows to a crawl, Flash player crashes particularly if I have multiple videos or whatnot open at the same time, it sucks up *way* too much memory for what it's supposed to be doing, so on..Basically it acts like IE used to (not sure if it still does).
    I recently did a fresh format and Windows 7 install and installed Firefox onto it. Literally the first thing the browser did was freeze. I've had similar issues on both Windows 7 Home and Windows 7 Ultimate. On XP things worked fine.
    Reading on the internet I've seen that other people have similar problems. I'm assuming that there is something about Windows 7 that Firefox doesn't like or vice versa.
    I'm wondering if anybody has had any luck hunting down a version of Firefox that wants to play ball. I'm currently using the latest version and it is pretty aggravating.

    Note that there have been (JIT compiler related) crashes reported on Facebook and that a Firefox 18.0.2 version is considered to address this issue.
    If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more crash reports that have this format:
    *bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
    You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the <i>about:crashes</i> page.
