When will quicktime handle avchd already ?!?

I was hoping with the release of Leopard we would see an all new Quicktime that could handle avchd file natively ! It sure would be nice to copy a m2ts file over to the mac and just ' play ' it. It would also be nice to just use quicktime to do simple cuts and trims of the file and then save it in its native format would be super nice..... is this gonna happen ? Is it in the pipeline ?
I tried using Nero8 for the pc and while it plays the file its just not Quicktime... throw us a bone Apple

As far as I understand it, it's not the manufacturers but the AVCHD standard that allows SD AVCHD (by which I mean 480i/576i) to use PCM (1,500 kbps) and limits HD AVCHD (by which I mean 720p/1080i/1080p) to AC3 (640 kbps).
Winston:
As I indicated previously, I was only reviewing the the basic capabilities and not a "white paper" document delving into the technical specifics. As to use of PCM as opposed AC3, it is logical to me and the workflows I use as a home consumer. Will readily agree that an avid audiophile would likely consider 7.1 PCM far superior to AC3 mono, stereo, 5.1 or even 7.1 multichannel in the same way some videophiles now refuse to watch SD TV programming. For instance, at this moment, I am only using a mono 64 Kbps AAC audio channel for today's "batch list" containing Santaclause Conquers the Martians, Teenagers from Outer Space, Mole Men Against the Son of Hercules, Hercules Against the Moon Men, Hercules and the Captive Women, Hercules and the Tyrants of Babylon, Hercules Unchained, The Lost Jungle, Mesa of Lost Women, Assignment: Outer Space, and Laser Mission. Frankly, the harder decision for me was deciding whether or not to retain what is left of the faded, color-casted content or to simply store it as a B&W of better viewing quality. Like QTKirk, I am a creature of habit and tend to resist change. And, as you can easily see from my profile, am quite satisfied sticking to the older tape devices which, as you yourself have pointed out in the past, in and of themselves function as "source" media archives. To put it another way, my personal outlooks determine what seems logical to me. If others see things differently and their "logic" has a somewhat take, then that is also fine with me and is what makes the world go round.
QuickTimeKirk:
Really had to chuckle when I read your comment, sitting here as I am in the middle of converting files for TV which have, over the last half dozen years been converted to VCD, SVCD, DVD, QVGA iPod, and now to a single VGA iPhone/iPod/TV file format for management, storage, and viewing. Can only assume that if I live to see the day when we are storing audio/video content in a crystal lattice, that I will likely still be converting these same files to that medium. (Especially funny since I had to order another 1 TB LaCie drive for additional storage space just this week and it arrived only moments ago.)
In any event, sorry about getting so far off the OP's original subject. Take care all...

  • When will FCE support AVCHD Lite?

    As far as I can tell with several Internet searches coupled with a lot of futzing with my Lumix camera, FCE does not support AVCHD Lite. Is support for this going to happen? When?
    Thanks much.
    Benny

    Is there an FCE support forum?
    Yes, and this is it.
    Feel free to ask questions on the use of FCE or search the forum for existing Q&As.
    It's hosted by Apple but is a user to user forum.
    It's rare for an official Apple employee to intervene unless rule/s are not adhered to.

  • When Will iMovie Support AVCHD Progressive?

    From Wikipedia: "In 2010 Panasonic introduced a new lineup of consumer AVCHD camcorders with 1080-line 50p/60p progressive-scan mode. In 2011 this mode was officially included into the AVCHD specification as part of 2.0 addendum and has been called AVCHD Progressive."
    So... is it likely that iMovie will support AVCHD Progressive in the future? I ask because I have a 2012 AVCHD Progressive camcorder, but am considering returning it because iMovie doesn't support a format introduced 2 years ago.

    Reuben Feffer wrote:

    FinalCut/express 3.5 didn't support 'AVCHDlite' - but with a simple 'transplantation' of some parts of iM08 it was possible to teach this 'non standard'-codec to FC/e. AVCHD v1 supports only 1080/24p. 25p/30/50p/60p is v2.
    I dare to say, due to sheer popularity, AVCHD v2 will find its way to QT/AVF ...
    but …

  • I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap.

    I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse on my trackpad. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. The Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap. The problem starts when I log out of my main profile. I get to the login screen and my laptop stops responding to clicks. When I manage to make my way back to my main profile the mouse works perfectly.  Should I just delete the new profile and try again?

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

    Verisign announced a new CA certificate in October 2010, Verisign Class 3 Secure Server G3. When will this be included in the CA list of the browser? It is in other browsers already (IE, Safari, etc), yet in Firefox you're currently prompted with a security warning for a trusted CA.

    That is one of the intermediate certificates that VeriSign is using. Intermediate certificates are part of the chain that is formed by the web server certificates and build-in root certificates. Such an intermediate certificate needs to be send by the server and is not included by default in Firefox. Firefox will store such an intermediate certificate for future use when a website sends it.

  • When will Premiere support TC(timecode) for AVCHD?

    Premiere Pro CS4 is not supporting TC(timecode) for the AVCHD format. Mean that all clip is starting at 00:00:00:00 and not the recordet TC!
    When will Premiere support TC for the AVCHD format?

    It Also does not support BWF format *.wav files or timestamp data recorded with MJPEG *.avi files!
    Please
    submit a feature request because this is a huge time waster. I asked tech support for this in October '08
    The only thing I can suggest is that, if you can export the data or otherwise access it, you can manually attach it to each clip using File\Timecode. Be sure to use different tape numbers for different days/cameras.

    I thought it was because of Lion but with snow leopard i have the same problem (On another Mac).
    Other solutions????

    To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect.  That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
    FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

  • Starting to Shoot HD will PC Handle in Premiere

    I've just joined the 21st century by switching to HD camcorders for a project. The live production is captured from three camera angles and a sequence is created where we fade and cut between the three video tracks. I have been fine capturing in 480i and importing as .avi in previous years. When I bought my PC, I found the most affordable windows 7 64 bit machine I could find that met the recommended specs for CS6. Core i7, 900 lines, 4 GB RAM. I did not realize that the HP 8440p, will only handle a maximum of 8 GB RAM which is frustrating as I thought 64 bit OS machines would take unlimited RAM. Here are my questions for the experts.
    Can I get away with 4GB RAM for 3 HD video tracks? If not, am I safe if I upgrade to the maximum 8GB RAM.
    Also my Canon camcorders will capture AVCHD or MP4, should I go with MP4 to avoid taxing the system, or will AVCHD do well with 4GB RAM/ 8 GB RAM i7?
    Lastly, we are still just making DVDs, but I may want a Blu Ray "print" to maybe make Blu Ray copies of the project in the future, is there a way to simultaneously cut sequences that can easily be made into DVD or Blu Ray. I've never used premiere or encore with HD assets before, so I appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

    Your graphics card is limited severely in its capabilities.  A new much bigger card with more memory of its own will help considerably.

  • When will BRE [Backup restartable Extensions] be available in Ontap Cluster mode ?

    Hi Folks, When will BRE [Backup restartable Extensions] be available in Ontap Cluster mode. With 7-mode there is no issue, we can suspend and restart backup from the checkpoint, however with Ontap cluster mode version 8.3 I am currently running, this is not possible [I guess all versions]. If the Job is suspended in cluster mode, session ID is lost and new session  ID is generated when the backup is resumed, in other words data backup starts from begining. Is this something will be available in Onap 8.4 cluster mode ? Thanks,
    -Ashwin 

    Hi, Yeah, you are right - 8.3RC1 is older than 8.3P1.
     8.3 Releases:
     8.3RC1 ----> old release [I already tested - dump restart does not work]
     8.3RC2
     8.3
     8.3P1 -----> Customer already is on higher update and it still dosent work
     8.3P2
     8.3.1RC1 ---> Latest release
    My confusion has only increased now as far as when this BUG is fixed Or if at all fixed?
    http://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=1472 According to this BUG, this is already fixed in all versions of 8.3. I am currently running 8.3RC1 Simulator and suspending a Job is causing NDMP session ID to end. In 7-mode: When we suspend a Job from Backup Software, NDMP session ID is not lost and when you run Backup status command, it shows -> State : RESTARTABLEThe key word is 'RESTARTABLE' which dosent seem to work in cluster mode.
    The NDMP Backup Restart Extension (BRE) interface is a proprietary extension defined in class 0x2050
    According to NDMP.org:
    NDMP_BRE_RESTART_BACKUP:
    This request is used by the backup application (DMA) to instruct the Data Server to restart a previous backup operation at a specific point in the backup stream.  Request arguments include a handle to a previously created backup context, the restart point specified as an absolute offset within the backup stream, and a file history entry corresponding to the restart point.The backup restart mechanism requires that the Data Server generate file history information and that the Data Server implementation of file history generate fh_info values as absolute byte offsets within the backup stream. The backup application determines restart points by accessing the Tape Server NDMP_MOVER_GET_STATE bytes_moved value at appropriate ‘checkpoints’ during the original backup operation. A checkpoint represents a known good point in the backup operation. BRE extensions are bydefault disabled, I enabled by setting it 'true' yet its not working. CMODE83RC1::*> ndmp extensions show
      (vserver services ndmp extensions show)Is Extension 0x2050 Enabled: true Thanks,

  • When will iPad Pages offer styles?

    What's happening to Pages people — programmers and staff — at Apple? Aren't they interested in all the writers of the world to buy an iPad with Pages? You could easily cause this to happen if only you did the following:
    Any writer will love what you offer today:
    -- The super clear and sharp iPad 3 screen
    -- Pages opens exactly where the writer left the document
    -- All documents are safely and automatically stored in the iCloud
    -- The feeling of the Apple Aluminum Keyboard is simply of the highest quality.
    A computer, for a writer, for a real writer, becomes absolutely obsolete with tablets, like the iPad 3 or similar ones. Who needs the clumsy power draining notebook or desktop? They have become effectively a thing of the past, especially for writers.
    However, they lack one thing that makes them unusable: Pages doesn't know about STYLES. That's right: PAGES doesn't know about STYLES!
    When you export your pages documents, what you thought were styles have become paragraphs with different formatting parameters, but no styles or style definitions.
    How is such a handicap possible? Please, BRING STYLES to the Pages of the iPad!!!!!
    And teach iPad3 Pages to export in UTF-8!
    And extend the functionality of Pages on the iPad with a DOCUMENT NAVIGATOR, something that will make it possible for you to move from heading (h1, h2, h3) to heading!
    Please, do this soon! Or you will make us believe that you don't want WRITERS to adopt the iPad completely!
    The most decent thing will be to GENERATE AN ePub book RIGHT from you Pages Document.
    What are you waiting for?

    > In general, your application is the best, ever; it's better even than most desktop giants. I love its simplicity and beauty. I really want to bring my book into it. It's a huge Pages / Word file, that I want to be able to work within your application. Any suggestions?
    Wow! Thanks for the compliment. Really glad you like it
    As I've mentioned on my website, word support is coming, but for now I think the best way to get your document into UX Write is to export it from Word to HTML. Unfortunately the output Word produces isn't particularly good, so it may need some manual cleaning up.
    > 1) Consider direct button for bold and italics
    If you're using the on-screen keyboard, you can already do this (hold down the formatting key, and then press bold/italics)
    > 2) Consider sub and super script letters
    This is on the to do list.
    > 3) Consider saving FROM iPad to DropBox (moving, copying, whatever).
    Yes, I need to add better file management support (a major deficiency of iOS IMHO). Copying, moving, renaming etc are all planned for a future version, and won't be far off. For now, it's possible to use iTunes file sharing to access the files stored in the "My iPad" section, and you can move them to dropbox on your computer.
    > 4) Consider using numbered headings optional, but offer it actively
    In the latest update (1.0.1) you can turn numbering on and off individually by tapping twice (or long pressing and releasing) on the heading, and selecting "remove number"/"add number". In the future I'll be making this an option for styles.
    > 5) Consider importing documents from Pages and Word and ODT (OpenOffice) and then asking the user how WE want the styles mapped.
    What I'm planning here is not an import and export as such (which is a lossy process), but to keep the original structure of the document and just apply the relevant changes to it at save time. Any formatting attributes or document elements that UX Write doens't understand (e.g. embedded spreadsheets) will be left in place, and still be there when you go back to your PC/Mac. I've promised support for Word in my roadmap, and am very strongly considering ODT support as well.
    > 6) Consider exporting documents to Pages and Word or OpenOffice (ODT)
    As above
    > 7) Consider allowing the user to edit CSS and HTML code, directly. I can send the document to Textastic, I can examine it there, maybe edit it, preview it, but I can't bring it back to Ux.
    That's an interesting option. I'm tempted to rely on third-party programs for this, because there are already several (like textastic) which do this kind of thing very well, and it's a lot of work to implement. I think the best option would be for me to contact the author of textastic and work on a way to easily get the document back into UX Write so that people can easily use the two apps together.
    > 8) Highly important: allow URL for pictures / figures / graphics!
    I agree this would be handy. The main challenge is working out how to do this in an intuitive manner that will gracefully handle the case of broken links. I need to give some more thought to this.
    > 9) Provide a way to EXPORT, edit, copy, handle, the HTML generated.
    I'm not sure what you mean by this - it's already possible to access the HTML files via Dropbox/WebDAV from other apps, and you can also email the HTML file to yourself directly from the app. Is this the kind of thing you're talking about?
    > I have a large — 169,000 words — document in Word. It is also in Pages (no styles, only direct formatting). Of course, I would like to IMPORT it into UX. However, the HTML generated by Word turns out to be too dirty and huge. I will experiment to see what it does, but if you have any straightforward suggestions, please, let me know.
    169,000 words with direct formatting - ouch! I can see why you want to change The largest document I've tested it with so far is my 116,000 word PhD thesis (which I originally wrote on LyX), and it works ok on that, though I need to improve performance of loading and saving.
    Word produces horrible HTML output, and this is a big problem at the moment for bringing content into UX Write. Once I have native word support in, the situation will be much better.
    > Again, thanks for such a great applications for writers…
    Thanks!
