I've stopped using my Casio Exlim. It is a great camera, but it is just so much more convenient to use my iPhone when the quality is almost the same. Plus the video on the iPhone is so much better, so I figure why bother.

Older 27" iMacs feature video-in, you can connect PS3 to it using something like Kanex XD (it is $150 device tho'). 2011 iMac doesn't have such port, but my guess is that you should be able to use TP as video-in. However, that's just my guess. I'd contact Kanex with this kind of question.

I'm not sure. Probably more than $345. I'm leaning more towards a trade for a touch.

I recently did a little short film using my iPhone 4. I attached my Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens to it (so I can do rack focusing) using a 35mm adapter onto an OWLE Bubo (http://www.wantowle.com/). Here was the results:

Would love to know what people think!
Thought the video was pretty terrific even if I hadn't known it was shot on an iPhone. I've seen people with camera gear costing 10 or more times as much that couldn't touch the work you did.
Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks musique! I just found out today that my short film won Second Place Grand Prize at the 2011 iPhone Film Festival (http://www.iphoneff.com/archives/2609). Made my day... :)
@matteusclement I look forward to seeing what you come up with using your new gear... I too am wanting to do a documentary next.

At this point im just frustrated. I changed the host file with this ip 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com Then I followed all the steps and got 4.2.1 on. When I went to jailbreak, I got it into DFU mode but the jailbreak failed. Now I just want to update to 4.3 but I cant because I dont remember what I changed and replace with this 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com. Anybody know the original text so I can update to 4.3?

I would like to create a simple iphone app for my sports team
Why not just make a website?
Agreed, I had missed what the app was about. I don't see anything in the desired feature list that can't be implemented as a plain old mobile-optimized website. Basically all a native app would be doing anyway is retrieving that information from the web and displaying it in a webview.
If you need a book to point you in the right direction, pick up Programming the Mobile Web (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596807795). Apple also has some resources of their own here: http://www.apple.com/webapps/

You have to be 18 to work there.
If you want to survive, then just don't do part-time. Full time spots at Apple retail are extremely hard to come by.

No problem, hopefully it's something simple.
Have you removed the preference file though? I'd do that first because it's a pretty harmless troubleshooting technique that is generally quite effective. :)
Remember to keep the file so that if it doesn't fix anything, you can put it back where you found it to keep your old settings. :)

Did you try googling the obvious: palindrome python program
One of the top 10 hits is this:

nstead this sounds like an academic assignment/exercise/what-have-you.
A quick suggestion OP : If this is homework, do not try "googling the obvious" and especially do not copy/paste code from the top 10 hits. If it was that easy to find, your teacher already found it also and will fail you with good reason when you try to turn in "Internet" code.

I use the mobile version of the Mac Rumors forums when Im away from my computer. In doing this I have discovered a slightly annoying bug. When replying to a new thread on the mobile forums it does not create a subscription that is viewable within my control panel on the 'full' site.
Am i doing something wrong? Or is this a known bug?

i myself had this problem once in the past, i fixed it by using a small amount of superglue on the edges of the processor, just enough so it sticks firmly in place but not too much that it blocks the thermal paste between the heatsink and processor
will that fix the issue message that I keep getting? When I boot to the desktop it always says " restart" with a error message that looks like a shutdown button..

No. It's not related to any dislike between Apple and Oracle. I believe it was timed purposely to keep Java applications out of the new Mac App Store.
Good point, I hadn't linked the two things together. I wonder what their motives are? I wonder how they'll feel about MacRuby and MonoMac stuff that is submitted to the AppStore?

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. :)
