Which format works best with FCP?

Cameras which use DVD, Hard Drive or MiniDV??
Thank you!

Perhaps you can help me with this problem,
I just recieved some footage that was shot on a P2 card, loaded onto a hard drive from the camera and reads as a .mxf file, my final cut studio does not recognize this so i cant import these files. what do i need to convert them so i can import them?
i was going to try the p2cms plugin dpx converter, but my mac is runing 10.4.7 and dpx needs 10.4..11!
any ideas?
thanks

Which sound files WORK BEST with FCP 7?

The best is whatever matches your Sequence settings; in most cases that would be AIFF, 48khz, 16 bit. FCP does NOT work natively with AAC or MP3 files. Both should be converted to AIFF prior to importing into FCP.
All of this basic information is covered thoroughly in the User's Manual and Help Files.

Which ipad works best with cellular networks in Russia?

I want to get an iPad that will work with the Russian cellular networks. Which model is best? Does it need any special configuring in oredr to work in both Russia ans the US?

Yes, it should work with no problems, but the warranty will not be valid in Italy. Any warranty claim or service will need to be done in the US.

Which camcorder works best with iDVD/iMovie?

So I'm buying a new camcorder. Which camcorder is the easiest to use with iDVD and iMovie? For now I just want to view and produce a DVD.
I had a JVC Everio and returned it. Converting MPEG-2 to DV I guess can be done but seems like a lot of work. My first attempt with Streamclip asked me to buy the MPEG-2 module.
I'm now looking at a Sony HDR-SR1. Thought the AVCHD would be MPEG-4 compatible and work with iMovie/iDVD but not sure. It will record in both AVCHD and MPEG-2 though.
Any suggestions or ideas? I could really use the help.

Welcome Michael Snell
I use sony camcorders (minidv plus i.Link) successfully with iLife '06 and FCP HD. The ones to avoid are those that record to DVD directly or to an internal hard drive. Make sure your camera has digital pass thru which will also allow you to connect most analog sources as well should you need to like a VCR or another camera for import into iMovie via firewire.
Canon also works well but represents my second choice of minidv cameras.
JVC is in the same situation and would represent a third choice IMO.
The good news is that almost any minidv camcorder will work on a mac that uses fw provided it records to mini dv tape and has a firewire or i.Link connector/s.

16:9 or 4:3 Which Format Works Best, for most hardware?

Hi There,
I am having a problem with knowing what format to burn a DVD in within iDVD..
I burned a DVD slide show made with iPhoto, and when I put it to DVD, and I play it back on my external player all the people in the video seem to be wider than they should be.
It's a regular DVD player, not HD or Blu-Ray..
I was wondering what the best format is for just a regular DVD player/playback output, so everyone looks like they should. (Not stretched, or squished)
What's the rule of thumb for the best compatibility across the board for producing DVDs that look their best across different DVD players?
Thanks for any help, and Happy New Year,
Eric

4:3 aspect ratio normally is a fairly safe bet. However standard television sets are quickly being replaced with wide screens at a record number.
The problem in 16:9 is that the WS flag that tells your standard Dvd player to go wide screen isn't always picked up by the device. And that's when we run into issues.
But to answer your question fully you really need to understand not only aspect ratios but also resolutions. This link usually helps answer a few concerns in regards to Preparing images for iDVD slideshows:

Hope the above helps but if not just come on back.

Which stylus works best with ipad 3?

Want to purchase a good stylus for use with the IPAD 3. Any suggestions?

I'll be sending the SB6141 back to Amazon and looking for a different model.
The AC routers.. Extreme or TC both have problems with the SB6121 and 6141.. just search for either of those model numbers and there are lots of posts about the issue.
There are some solutions but none work 100%.. some airports work fine.. some fail.. of those that fail some can be fixed using a crossover cable or a switch between the modem and the airport.. but not all.
Sometimes it is easier to go with a standard modem router and use the Airport in bridge. It gives you most of its functionality in bridge just fine.. and only misses out on BTMM working properly because apple refuse to fix their upnp issues.

Which program works best with RuneScape.

I cannot get on with Safari, I downloaded Firefox but it only works part of the time. My problem with that is sometimes I can't type in my user name and password. Nothing show up yet I can type anywhere else. Is there a way I can get it to open with safari. Or any other suggestion. I used to be able to delete Firefox and redownload and have it work but not anymore. RuneScape suggest using the web client but that requires internet Explorer 6 and I don't have that. I hope someone can help me solve my problem. Thanks so much

Which scanners work best with Macbook air?

Bought a new macbook air. Looking to connect an electronic scanner. Thanks.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

External control unit - which one works best?

i would like to buy an external control unit. which one works best with the final cut studio apps? as far as i know, there are three competitors, being:
TASCAM 1802, MACKIE CONTROL and Digidesign...
I would like to use the unit mainly for audio mixing and Transport functions. Maybe use some function keys for shortcuts... if the unit can be used also in Sound track pro it would not hurt But my major work is in FCP
thanks for your input!

I'd buy the Tascam 1802 as my control surface. Actually I'm saving my pennies to get one.
I have a Mackie Onyx 1640 with the Firewire card and I love it to pieces as a field mixer. But I can't get it to work well with my apps as a control surface. Maybe I should check and see if Mackie has improved the software.
But I'd go with the Tascam for FCP control surface use. You might get away with one of their smaller models if you don't need that many faders.
Save some money that way, maybe. Leave you more to send to Apple, MOTU, DigiDesign, Bias, and Waves for software upgrades. I mean, we all understand that those folks need our money way more than we do, right? Heh, heh, heh...
Good luck in your search.

Which camera will work best with the MAC? NIKON or Canon

Contemplating on buy a camera and a MAC, but need to know which camera will work best with a MAC, Nikon or Canon? Any info is appreciated

Both will work very well. You might not even need to install the software that comes with them because they'll probably work fine with iPhoto etc. Before you buy a camera, check this list of cameras supported by OS X:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
Just about all Nikon and Canon cameras are on that list. If a camera is so new it is not yet on that list, it will be in the next update, probably.
That list is for raw format compatibility. If your camera also shoots JPEG, it will work with a Mac even if it's not on that list. If a camera doesn't work by plugging in a cable, take the card out and put it in an ordinary USB card reader and the Mac will read it.
Nikon has a slight advantage in that it supports a mode that lets the Mac mount a camera like a disk on the desktop. Canons don't mount on the desktop, but it's not really a disadvantage, because Canons still work great with Apple iPhoto, Apple Aperture, Apple Image Capture, and Adobe apps, and all of those are more efficient ways of transferring photos than dragging them out manually.
