^^^^^"Thank you for your tolerance" coming from someone named "anti-microsoft" has to be somewhat ironic, right??????
Surely that would be !!!!!!!!!!
???????? would mean its a very big question.
Stop yelling, I'm here now.

Thanks to both of you.
to get your VHS source onto your computer it would have to be digitized first. So either you digitized the video or someone did it for you. How this was done determines the base quality of your DIGITAL source. It can't be better than your source, but it can be converted to a more useful or less useful digital format (h.264 = more / mpeg2 = less for example).
Ah, I'm stupid. Actually I knew this, do not know how I forgot it when explaining what I am asking. I forgot that I know, that it is the hooked up hardware that changes the source from analogue to digital. Why else should I use this type of thing here called "A/D-converter". (Btw, the A/D-converter I am using is ADVC-300 via firewire and some times EyeTV250 via USB).
I can't explain to myself why I mixed up the hardware's job with what the software does. :o:confused:
it seems your asking how imovie handles video import for various versions.
Yes, that's it.
...but i can tell your quoting some rather old versions ...
I am using Vers. 3 and 5, because I have two PPC-Macs, that I possess for a long time, but never had any need to use iMovie before. I use my Macs 5-6 years (from the day on they were bought). The next buy (first Intel) is actually due, but I am still procrastinating it, but decided to start saving my VHS to an external disk better now then later and so I use my PPC-Macs with the old versions of iMovie they came with.
Noise filtering would be a filter...that's a post process.... - in the software not the hardware, ok.
Have no idea what a "line time base" is.
ah, baseline time correction was the word I was searching for. ADVC uses TBC, EyeTV not. I thought Maybe iMovie does this too, on the fly.
In iMovieHD 5 you can choose that it saves the incoming material as mpeg4. I do not mean the converting to mpeg4 or whatever type after editing (chopping parts in between and all that stuff).
I thought the ADVC-300 changes the analogue one to DV and iMovie puts it in mpeg4.
After that I would cut/edit the film and convert it to h.264.
I choose to let iMovie5 record as DV, because I could not see the sense in capturing it as mpeg4, when I plan to convert it to h.264 afterwords.
If you've got your VCR hooked up to a DV camcorder and the DV camcorder attached to your Mac via Firewire, you can think of capturing it in iMovie as a file transfer. The camcorder is encoding the VCR's output to standard PAL DV, and your Mac is just recording that data.
If you try to do any colour correction or what have you in iMovie, a different engine in different versions might result in different quality. But these versions are so old I don't think you'll find much comparison online — probably best to just suck it and see.
Ok, thanks.
I am assuming this now, (right?): If I plan to save the films on an external disk and convert them to h.264 later, it does not affect the quality, if I use DV coming from iMovie2 or 5.
Example:
1. capture VHS in iMovie
2. save them to disk
3. forget about them
4. buy an Intel-Mac at the end of the year (because I do not want my PPC spend nights with converting DV to h.264
5. open DV file on external disk in mpegstreamclip(converter-app) on new Intel Mac, choose "convert to h.264", setting bitrate and everything I like.
It does not matter if iMovie2 saved it as DV or iMovie5 saved it as DV, right?
PS: I know, me using an ADVC-300 after my questions, sounds like a kid with one guitar lesson playing a Gibson guitar. :)

Holding option and clicking "shut down" will bypass the dialog box.
Alternatively, you can press Control + Option + Command + Power/Eject Key - according to this page (http://macos.about.com/library/weekly/aa021400a.htm).

Hi, thanks for the responses.about the canon lenses: I use Nikon so my lenses are all black.
I'm not so sure I'd want to insulate my black lenses. An Inland Marine insurance policy is probably a much better deal.

PS2, not PSP... and wouldnt a mini PS2 have the same size cds so that all the games that have been released to date are compatible. Although, with my experience, burnt media will usually not play in playstations, burnt cds are simply a no go, and burnt dvds are a toss up.
�
i must have totally missed that.
but, no. i do know that psp's will have a small disc form-factor. all i've really heard about it is that and that even so, they will hold more than a PS2 disc.

They obviously think that the current IDE = fail, if they are releasing a total overhaul of the UI.
Making the IDE better will help them bring in new developers.
Xcode 3 is still a serviceable IDE, far from a "fail". The fact is it's been around since 2003 and definitely needed a refresh.
Hopefully the final release of 4 will coincide with some nice MBP updates so I have a nice reason to justify buying a new laptop. :)

Not yet because I actually use my iPad during the week. I'll try that over the weekend. I just can't believe I am the only one having this problem.
Why? Stuff like that happens to people all the time. Just because you're having a problem doesn't mean it's a widespread one. Besides, if it had been a widespread one, you wouldn't have had to ask. There would have been numerous posts on this already.
I'm sure you'll figure it out soon.

Come on Will - you know you want one!! Just give into the inevitable....
I bought the first gen a year ago and never regretted it ( sold it on eBay before the new one was announced :-)) it is by far the best gadget I have ever owned and believe me I have tried many! I even had a brief flirtation with a Galaxy Tab over recent weeks - but it only took me a few days before I gave up and stuck it back on eBay! Once you have tasted Apple other fruits taste just bland ;-)
I can't wait to get the new one particularly for AirPlay with my Apple TV.
I would be going to Bristol if I wasn't working today. Hope that there might be one with my name on somewhere in London.
One last small point - can you veleive that Orange block this site on my iPhone because they say it is "adult content" that really annoys me - it wouldn't happen on my 3 SIM used in my iPad!
Ring orange up and say you want adult content turned off, I think you can do it without speaking to a human also ;)
No but seriously, it's not just porn they block, they block many other sites under that stupid block.

Hello, if you look at my other post on the LaCie there is some info that I got from LaCie and some cd/dvd manfs. about the type of disc you need.
The burner won't be out untill mid March and as LaCie's web page says they are taking pre-orders.

Artful Dodger, I had planned on buying one of the LaCie lightscribe external burners in the near future, but you mentioned something that caught my attention. Are there only certain blanks that are compatible with the lightscribe capability? I *assumed* any blank without a surfce design would have done the trick, but I guess not. Thanks!
Yes only certain media will work, TDK, HP (it's their drive in it), Verbatim and only the "+" R media since none of the companies are making any other media as of yet. This was from about 3 or 4 e-mails to different companies that were given to me by LaCie. Also the discs are of a gray scale "etched" quality when burned.
You will have to look for the Lightscribe logo on the side of the dvd/cd cake packs or what ever they pack them in.
Hope this helps.

Thats great! Thank you for the answers.
I think 3gs is very smooth, didnt see any lag so far and i am playing with it a lot.
The reason i couldnt buy ip4 is its price here in Turkey, it is around 1300USD.
Hopefully i will switch to iphone 5 in september if i can buy from the UK as simfree version. Are simfree versions available with the first launch? Or they wait carriers to sell enough contracts first?

The Sega Genesis collection will keep you busy if you like old school games since Phantasy Star IV alone is a good 10 hours to beat. Ratchet and Clank maybe?
I recommend the Sega Collection as well, maybe it's because I'm used to have such great time playing them when I was younger. I'm now playing some of my old favourite sega games on my psp as well. (Shining Force 1&2, Warsong).
Other than that, I would say maybe MGS: Portable Ops. or X-men:Alliance.
