I'm ready to tackle a project that I have been ignoring for several years and need some help. I have dozens of hours of video (vacations and WWII veteran interviews) on SD cards, Mini DV, and old VCR tapes, that has never been transferred or edited. The most critical to me is the content on the hard drive of my HFS10. It is full of interviews with American, British, and French D-Day veterans taken during a trip to Normandy for the 65th Anniversary of the battle. I really fear its loss if I don't do this right.
I'll be upgrading my Core 2 Duo iMac to a Quad Core i7 iMac with 16GB of RAM very soon. Unfortunately, the more I try to educate myself on how to do the transfer and editing, the more confused I become about the process.
I was wondering if someone would be willing to walk me through the process of transferring this video from its source to my iMac (without loss of quality), how to edit and archive it, and how to finalize it for playback on the iMac, Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad. Perhaps there is a great reference book on the topic that someone could recommend?
The only software that I currently have is iMovie and I have never used it. I'm happy to spend some money on hardware and software to do this right, so all suggestions, from budget to extravagant, are welcome. I would greatly appreciate any guidance. Thanks very much.

I'd suggest waiting if it plays games to your liking now. I believe the best so far is a flashed 5970, which is a pain from what I have heard. The best that is easy to do is the 5870. I'd keep the 5770 until apple releases new cards that are better and compatible with OS X.
Thanks a lot :)
Why is the 5970 hard to install?
Also, i noticed apples price for the 5870 is ridiculous (like AU$600). Does a normal 5870 work with SL natively?

This has NOTHING to do with being out of contract. Please stop spreading this myth.
When you buy an iPhone you buy it WITH a two year contract. Whether you use it or other networks or not has nothing to do with ATT getting their subsidy money.
That's why I'm saying that they're going to soon be offering official unlocks for AT&T iPhones. They already offer them for ANY GSM phone that they sell once a subsidy contract has ended. At that point, you have paid them more than the full amount of the phone's value and you actually own the phone. They should offer an unlock for iPhones that are out of contract, just like they do for any other GSM phone they offer.

This has happened to be before, and it was after I downloaded something from cydia that the iPod crashed and couldn't be recognized, then I turned it back on, deleted the newly downloaded package, and everything was fine. Hope this helps!
Thanks, Ill try that later.

Based on the above drawings, this would be a disaster.
The interface is now clunky, crowded and unintuitive.
Biggest problem- take a look-it will require two hands to operate, thereby negating what every one else has been trying to imitate-the ease of use of the iPod scroll wheel.
Oh please... :rolleyes: This is a stupid drawing, the iPod is not gonna look like this. The Apple engineers know what they are doing.

As we all know the main focus for mac's is not gaming, however with my Mac pro recently arriving with the 3.2 quad and a 5870 GPU; what kind of gaming performance increase will I notice vs my 2010 iMac i7 with the mobility GPU card in it? I really don't want to disrespect any of you guys by asking this question as this is not why I bought my Mac Pro, and this is not a "gaming" forum, however I do game a little and I could not find any benchmarks that put the two side by side.
Let's use black ops, and maybe crysis as a means for making a comparison and any other key games you can think of, btw all gaimg is done via boot camp with windows 7 ult.
Really depends on the res you play at now.
As the resolution gets larger the 5870 pulls ahead in a bigger way.
Couldn't find any DX10 benches but here is Battlefield BC 2 (1920x1200, 4AA, 8AF, High Quality, DX10)
5750: 25.6 FPS
5870: 52.3 FPS
3D Mark 06:
iMac 5750: 15344
5870: 23640
3D Mark11 Enthusiast settings:
FPS:
5750: 12.44
5870: 27.68
I don't have any problems playing anything at my 1680x1050 res. Including Metro 2033 (Much heavier than Crysis). I play Crysis maxed with 4xAA the only exception.

Cool! I'll be there around midnight, and my dad will follow shortly after. I reserved, he sadly did not. :(
Walked by around 3pm, there were maybe 10-15 people in the walk-in line, nobody in the reserve line. (Though there were a few bikes... Not sure what that means.)
Excited! I camped out here for the iPad launch (first in the store, derp!) and it was a lot of fun. Charging everything now to last through the night!

With the MaxConnect BackPlane Attachment for Mac Pro [2010] Systems (SZ-MACPRO10-MS06) I can't make it out too well from the picture but it appears there's a small adapter attached onto the back of the hard drive ports correct?

I've seen a few of these before. Vintage Micros I think had the last one I saw for sale. Nice find!!
Do you remember how much it was sold for?

It's theft disguised as charity...
It's not theft. He's reverse engineered the DRM and is now offering a Fairplay compatible alternative DRM to companies. You may as well say that Apple "stole" Adobe's PDF format when they reverse engineered it into OSX.

I'm sure you don't want to hear this, but I think you're better off with an iMac or a mac mini with a nice IPS monitor. I understand that the mac pro is easier to expand, but if you plan on keeping it for 4 years you could buy a new mac mini every year and still come out the same.
Better to spend money on upgraded lenses and external backups.

what about using a display will my macbook run sluggish because the display will be higher in resolution and the GPU will have to work more?

I am more of a design guy at heart but have been helping my company do some web over-hauling of our sites. We have been using simply Photoshop-made buttons for our links.
Question: Can someone check out this site (http://komotion.com/examples/elements/buttons-and-links/). I am wondering if the buttons on the top leading off the page are made strictly using CSS/HTML, or if there is a photoshop template behind it.
From what I can gather on a few other CSS Button tutorials there may be a blank photoshop template behind it and the CSS can stretch it and add the text? Am I way off base?
Thanks for helping me handle my code ignorance :(
EDIT: Forgot about the mouseover glow... Is this done strictly through CSS or do you need an "after" state image?

This is on page 2 because it isn't really news. It was just a foregone conclusion. But why MS prolonged the pain and embarrassment is beyond me.
I wonder in how many new and wonderful ways they'll piss away R&D money in the near future.

Is anyone going to be camping out? Myself and a few friends will be there. We will be playing poker and other games on our card table. :-)
If your at Arden come by and say hi.
I have 2 iphones on reserve and will probably be showing up a little before the mall opens to try and figure out where the lines are.

My favorite are the aggressive comments here demanding that Apple unlock your phone because it is your property. Yeah, the phone is your property. But the network is not. It's AT&T's property. You pay for the service to use it.
If you don't like that, you can switch to a phone that is hackable, and violate the terms of your contract with AT&T. Or switch to another carrier. Or move to another country where there are different regulations regarding carriers. Or write your Representative or Senator. But don't whine that someone owes you something because of what you'd prefer.

Is it unresponsive indefinitely?
Plug it in and then don't touch iTunes for a minute or so, don't click anything. After a minute, then start clicking away. Does it work then?

I knew they would think of something better than on-screen touch controls. That just wouldn't be good for nobody. This approach seems very good. I'm sure there will be something specific that has to happen in order for the buttons to activate as not to be activating them all the time while just holding it.

But in all honesty I haven't seen a game yet on iOS that really blew me away, so as far as gaming goes I think getting a console is the better choice..
Well duh! Consoles aren't really handheld's rival. You expect that it will be the better gaming ability.
But handhelds have their purpose too. Entertainment where you can't carry a tv and console around. On airplanes, going on vacation where it's just not practical to lug a whole console around (especially considering airlines are tightening allowances for luggage), when you're waiting for something somewhere away from your home (like at a doctor's office).
Consoles shouldn't even be discussed in this discussion. That is like comparing apples and oranges, they really have no bearing in this at all.
