Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express HD: Tips for HDV Print to Video

If you want to get the best quality with HDV Print to Video, here's a check list of things to do or note before starting:

• In System Preferences, configure Energy Saver to never sleep and make sure the "Put hard disks to sleep whenever possible" option is not selected.
• Quit all applications, except for Final Cut Express, including applications running in the background (Mail, Safari, iChat, desktop toys, and such).
• Do not interrupt the Print to Video operation in any way (including clicking the mouse or typing on the keyboard).
• Don't daisy-chain devices to FireWire drives. For example, you shouldn't connect an iPod to your FireWire drive's FireWire port during the Print To Video process.
• Don't use a FireWire 800 cable to connect your camera.
• In System Preferences, configure the screen saver to never start in the Desktop & Screen Saver pane (turn off any other third-party screen saver too).
• Unmount any active server volumes.
• Make sure that the camera is ready before beginning the Print To Video process.
• Print to video may not yield the same frame-accuracy with HDV as other formats. To ensure all your frames are output to tape when using Print to Video, allow up to an extra second of leader or black before your program material.

Import Mail From Outlook

Open Outlook Express on your PC.
1. Highlight all mail in a folder e.g. "important mail", and
drag them into a any folder on your hard drive (ideally -
outlook mail/important). Having Outlook
ok&action=edit> run in window mode (not
fullscreen) and dragging the mail to a folder on your
desktop seems to be the easiest way, because you dont
have to switch windows.
2. Make as many folders and fill them this way as you
have/need, then copy them to your Mac.
3. Start Microsoft
Entourage
rage&action=edit> on your Mac (A trial 'Test
Drive' version of Microsoft Office

comes with any new Mac).
4. Drag them into a folder the same way as you exported
them on your pc.
5. Now you should have the mail in Entourage.
6. Mail can now
import mailboxes from Entourage.
don't forget to delete all the other mails (in folders,
entourage, outlook), all those mails usually fill up pretty
much space on your drives

Alternative Method
another possibility is to intall mozilla thunderbird (free) on your pc
1. it will ask you during install if it should import from outlook -
do so
2. now it the mails should be in thunderbird
3. you can just take the thunderbird forlder (find in user files)
and move them to your mac
4. find files with the name of your mailboxes (they dont have a
suffix) and rename them to nameofthefile.mbox
5. and open them WITH entourage
6. if you want to have them in mail - drag and drop them from
entourage to mail

iPhone Tips

Update location information on original iPhone :
You might think you are out of luck when using Location services on your old iPhone, but you aren't! You have to perform an extra step, and you are relying on the original iPhone's tower triangulation method instead of GPS, but it's better than nothing. It, of course, requires the iPhone 2.0 software.

To use location services with your current local location, before you access any program that needs to know your location, go to the Maps program, and use the Find Location icon to get your current location by triangulation. Then, access the program that plans on using location services, and it will use your current location. (If you've used the "OK to use my location" button to access a program from one location, then move to another location and launch a location-aware program, your stored location will reflect your first position until you force it to update using this technique.)

I've had to do this manually every time I wanted to get local information, but it works well for apps like box office when you don't know the local zip code, or CareerBuilder when you just want a general location in order to display local jobs. Just remember to take the location for what it is.

Connect to a LEAP wireless network with iPhone 2.0
My company uses the LEAP security protocol for its wireless network. The iPhone doesn't list LEAP as a network security option, but the following workaround works with iPhones and iPod Touches that have the 2.0 software update.

Go to your Settings app. Then select Wi-Fi. Next, select Other. Enter the name of your LEAP network. Under Security, select WPA Enterprise. Then enter your username and password. That's it. It works like a charm for my company's wireless network.

Use MobileMe push on iPhone with alternate From address
This hint is for those who have a primary email address, say a@default.com, and would like to use this email address, but would like the 'push' aspects of their MobileMe account, say a@me.com. It would be useful to be able to send email from a MobileMe account, but have a@default.com show up by default as the From address. This hint is similar to this previously-posted hint, in that one can set their primary email address to forward a copy to their MobileMe account. However, this previous hint does this, but only by subscribing to their MobileMe account as a standard IMAP account, which would not use push.

For this hint, one also needs an additional Gmail account (which may or may not be the primary email address) -- assume this account is a@gmail.com. and one would need to subscribe to that within the iPhone as well. Under the Mail settings for the MobileMe account, change the sent mail server to use smpt.gmail.com instead of the MobileMe sent mail server.

Then, in the Gmail settings page on the web, on the Accounts tab, configure it so that your Gmail account can send mail as a@default.com. (This involves gmail sending an email to a@default.com, confirming that it can send mail as that address). Then after that is added, click on Default next to a@default.com to make that your default sent mail address.

In this way, when one sends mail from the MobileMe account on the iPhone, even though it displays a@me.com as the From address, Gmail's mail server will replace a@me.com with a@default.com, and the receiver will see that in the From address. When replying, the recipient will reply to that email address as well.

If you would rather not change your Gmail settings to use a default alternate From address, you could get an additional Gmail account that only is used for this purpose. This would also be useful, in that you would not get new mail to this alternate Gmail address, which would affect the unread message count of mail on the iPhone. It would obviously be good to set this Gmail account to refresh manually on the iPhone as well, to save battery life.

Listen to music while playing games on iPhone 2.0
Simply start listening to your music, then while listening, start your game. Wait until the music stops and the game's music begins. Now just press the top iPhone button; this will put your phone to sleep. Press your headphone button to start the iPod music, than wake up your phone, slide to activate, and you'll be back to the game while listening to your music.

Search iPhone (2.0) contacts by first and last name
On the new iPhone software, you can search for a contact using the first and last name. For instance, if you want to search for Pedro Fernandes, you would write P F (that's P, then a space, then an F). The iPhone will filter out all the contacts with first and last name starting with P and F, and vice-versa. You can further refine the search by typing more letters. This is a great time-saving feature; thanks, Apple!

Bonus hint... on a standard phone (none-Apple) I always stored the names in such a way that you can do this search. So for instance I would have: Pedro Fernandes stored as PFernandes Pedro, Tania Silva stored as TSilva Tania, Daniel Fidalgo stored as DFidalgo Daniel, etc. This enables a quick search through first and last names. So if you are stuck (or by choice) have an old (classic) phone, maybe you find this usefull as well.

Google-Apple Cloud Computer

How the Google-Apple Cloud Computer Will Work....

In his new book "The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to
Google," computer industry writer and former executive editor of the
Harvard Business Review Nicholas G. Carr discusses the changes he sees
in the future of computing. One of the more dramatic changes is a
shift to cloud computing -- where applications and files are stored on
a large, centralized supercomputer or network. The end user accesses
his or her files using computers that are more streamlined but less
sophisticated than today's typical machines.

On October 17, 2007, Carr took the idea a step further in a posting on
his Rough Type blog. He called out two hot technology companies,
Google and Apple, and said they were on the verge of a partnership in
which Apple would make an inexpensive piece of hardware users could
carry around. This would leverage the computing power of the vast data
centers Google has been building to hold the applications and the data
for millions of users.

The idea of cloud computing certainly isn't new. Oracle's Larry
Ellison launched the New Internet Computer (NIC) company in 2000 to
lead the industry forward to that goal. The concept is very simple: On
your desk, you would have a very low-cost computer with just a
processor, a keyboard and a monitor. There would be no hard drive or
CD/DVD drive. It would be hooked up to the Internet and would link to
a central supercomputer, which would host all of your programs and
files. The idea, however, was ahead of its time. The NIC sold very
poorly, probably due to a dearth of broadband availability in the
United States [source: PCWorld]. The company folded in 2003.

But by 2006, nearly 75 percent of Americans had broadband access at
home [source: Neilsen/NetRatings]. Could a Google/Apple team make
cloud computing a widespread phenomenon? And if they move forward,
what's in it for Google and Apple? The biggest question of all: If
they build the cloud computer, will anyone use it?

Read on to learn more about the future of computing.

Reliance MG880 Modem Script

About two weeks ago, I bought a Reliance Netconnect connection and chose a ZTE MG 880 CDMA adapter. The device is a svelte little thing only slightly larger than a thumb drive that has a fold-out antenna. Unfortunately, unlike the Huawei PC Cards and USB adapters that are supported by OS X, this one only apparently supported Windows. There's also no information on the Internet about Mac drivers for this device, and the ZTE site is primarily in Chinese and doesn't say anything I could understand.

After a week-long nightmare while I waited for Reliance to activate the connection (supposedly, activating a NetConnect card should only take 24 hours), I called a contact at Reliance Infocomm in Coimbatore to complain and made a passing mention of reconsidering a 2MB leased line contract that we'd recently negotiated. The connection was activated in an hour and I was up and running, but only in Windows on VMWare.

I set up Internet Connection Sharing for the NetConnect interface in Windows, set the default route on Leopard to point to the vmnet interface connecting to the host-only network that I had with the guest, and fired up a browser window in Leopard. This was when I realized that Mac OS treats resolv.conf strangely - /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to /var/run/resolv.conf, which in turn is created by pppd and other magical elves that set up the Mac's DNS. And, perhaps because the vmware interfaces aren't *really* interfaces that can be managed through System Preferences, creating /var/run/resolv.conf and pointing it to Reliance's name servers didn't have any effect. nslookup, which apparently honors resolv.conf, worked, but any other application that used OS X's lookup mechanism didn't have any effect.

For a day or two, I managed with an entry in /etc/hosts so I could fetch my work email, but it got tiring to fire up Windows every time I wanted to connect to the Internet. Besides, because the device wasn't being managed by Leopard, the MacBook would freeze every time I put it to sleep, with an error from the USB drivers. Every time I shut the lid I'd first have to shut down Windows and pull out the CDMA adapter.

Googling a little, I realized then that the Linux usbserial module worked with the MG880, when it was passed the vendor and product IDs. I tried this with Damn Small Linux running in VMWare, and it worked fine. So I started looking for a similar, generic USB-serial kext for Mac OS X.

It appears that the most common USB-serial chipset - used in the USB cables for most phones - is the Prolific Technology PL2303. I wondered if the MG880 also used the same chipset, and got lucky - yes, it did!

There is an open-source Mac OS driver for this chipset here:

http://osx-pl2303.sourceforge.net/

Download the zip archive and install. You'll be asked to restart; do so.

Open the file /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext/Contents/Info.plist in a text editor.

Beneath the lines:

<key>IOKitPersonalities</key>
        <dict>

Add the following entry:

                <key>19d2_fffd</key>
                <dict>
                        <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
                        <string>nl.bjaelectronics.driver.PL2303</string>
                        <key>IOClass</key>
                        <string>nl_bjaelectronics_driver_PL2303</string>
                        <key>IOKitDebug</key>
                        <integer>0</integer>
                        <key>IOMatchCategory</key>
                        <string>ProfilicSerialUSB</string>
                        <key>IOProviderClass</key>
                        <string>IOUSBDevice</string>
                        <key>IOResourceMatch</key>
                        <string>IOKit</string>
                        <key>bConfigurationValue</key>
                        <integer>1</integer>
                        <key>bInterfaceNumber</key>
                        <integer>0</integer>
                        <key>idProduct</key>
                        <integer>65533</integer>
                        <key>idVendor</key>
                        <integer>6610</integer>
                </dict>

This tells the PL2303 driver to watch for USB devices with the Vendor ID 0x19d2 and the Product ID 0xfffd; these are the vendor and product IDs for the MG880.

Now, type the following command into a terminal window:

sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext

You should see a bunch of messages, like this:

bash-3.2# sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext
kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext appears to be loadable

kextload:         0eba_1080
kextload: sending 25 personalities to the kernel
kextload: matching started for /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext

At this point, you should unplug the MG 880 if already plugged in, and plug it back in. Mac OS will now recognize the vendor and product IDs of the device and map it to the PL2303 driver.

Go to System Preferences and select Network. Click on the + sign beneath the list of interfaces (Bluetooth, Ethernet, Firewire, etc.) to create a new connection. A dialog will pop up asking for the interface to use for the connection, and the service name. In the list of interfaces, you should see "ZTE CDMA Tech". Choose that as the interface to use, and call the service "Reliance" - you can call it whatever you like; I chose Reliance. Click the "Create" button in the dialog. The "Reliance" connection will now be added to the list of interfaces in the left pane.

In the text field for Telephone Number, type #777. Type your phone number into the "Account Name" and "Password" text fields. Now, click the "Advanced..." button.

In the pane that displays, select "Generic" from the Vendor list box and "Dialup Device" from the "Model" list box. Make sure that the "Enable error correction and compression in modem" check box is checked. Hit Ok, and hit Apply when you are returned to the Connection Settings pane. You should now be able to hit Connect and connect to the Internet!

I hope this helps people who have the MG880 but can't use it on OS X. Many thanks to the people who created the PL2303 driver and open-sourced it, without which this wouldn't be possible.

India's Tata Motors launches "Nano"

Ratan Tata, while unveiling the Nano, said: The car will meet all current safety norms and all emission criteria. The pollution it will cause will be lower than 2 wheelers. The car, he said, is smaller than a Maruti 800, but has 21 per cent more volume or space inside than the 800. He said that the dealer price of the car will be Rs 1 lakh, plus value added tax VAT plus transport charges. The car's dashboard features just a speedometer, fuel gauge, and oil light. The car does not have reclining seats or radio. The shock absorbers are basic. It will sport a 30 litre fuel tank and 4 speed manual gearshift. One of Nano's three versions will come with air conditioning, but will have no power steering. It will have front disk and rear drum brakes. The company claims mileage of 23 km per litre. The Nano, designed with a family in mind, has a roomy passenger compartment with generous leg space and head room. It can comfortably seat four persons. Four doors with high seating position make ingress and egress easy. Yet with a length of 3.1 metres, width of 1.5 metres and height of 1.6 metres, with adequate ground clearance, it can effortlessly manoeuvre on busy roads in cities as well as in rural areasIts mono volume design, with wheels at the corners and the powertrain at the rear, enables it to uniquely combine both space and manoeuvrability, which will set a new benchmark among small cars. When launched, the car will be available in three versions. All versions will offer a wide range of body colours, and other accessories so that the car can be customised to an individual's preferences. Nano has a rear wheel drive, all aluminium, two cylinder, 624 cc, 33 bhp, multi point fuel injection petrol engine. This is the first time that a two cylinder gasoline engine is being used in a car with single balancer shaft. The lean design strategy has helped minimise weight, which helps maximise performance per unit of energy consumed and delivers high fuel efficiency. Performance is controlled by a specially designed electronic engine management system. Nano's safety performance exceeds current regulatory requirements. With an all sheet metal body, it has a strong passenger compartment, with safety features such as crumple zones, intrusion resistant doors, seat belts, strong seats and anchorages, and the rear tailgate glass bonded to the body. Tubeless tyres further enhance safety. Tata's one lakh car Nano: Western media on overdrive : The whole buzz that the Tata one lakh car Nano may face problems in attracting buyers in the Western world may not be correct. The people's car, Nano, has far exceeded the expectations of the foreign media and mediapersons ET spoke to. They believe it would make automobile history. Though many of them failed to get a closer look at the car that was launched by Tata Group chairman Ratan Tata at the Auto Expo on Thursday, they feel that it would attract a lot of foreign buyers as it's cheap, happening and smart. "It's a winner. It's a significant step by the Tata Group in technology advancement and performance. It would do well in the European and North American markets because of its cute looks and low price. The car stands out due to its classic clean lines," says Jesse Snyder, executive editor, Automotive News Europe, a Germany based journal. Overseas mediapersons feel it's a revolution in motoring world. "It's astonishing what the Tatas have achieved for one lakh. Nano looks fantastic and sounds promising. Small family people would go for this as it's compact and safe," says UK based Car Magazine international editor John Sootheran. It's far better than what I expected," says US based NewsWeek Magazine reporter Jason Overdorf. "It's a world class innovation that has come from India. People residing in large cities of Europe and also in the developing countries would buy this car as it's affordable," he added. Foreign mediapersons believe that Nano has the ability to compete with motorcycles as it has a distinctive look and is instantly recognisable. Since Nano is expected to replace many two wheelers once it's in the market, some observers feared that this would enhance emissions and traffic congestions on the Indian roads. Countering this, Mr Tata repeatedly emphasised that Nano would be a proper car with world class safety standards. "I assure that people can have a sound sleep now barring the misconception that Nano would lead to extra emissions," said Mr Tata. It was when Mr Tata announced the price that foreign journalists cheered, with whoops and calls of 'who whoo whoo'. Explained one: "This will put the Japanese who have cocked a snook at all of us, US and European car makers in their place!" Added a Delhi based international news agency reporter: "My budget in Canada for a car was usually C$600, for which I could always only get a second hand car! This is certainly within my budget." "It's a cute, nice looking car and I would like to drive it," she said, adding: "This is an indication of an Indian CEO taking his leadership seriously and acting on it." This was in reference to the car being more environment friendly. Said another: "This will create a whole new segment for cars and engineering." The German journalist photographer duo, whose publication is running a comparison between the Detroit Auto Show with the desi event, were overwhelmed by the numbers, crowds and the whole emotional atmosphere. "No, we have never seen anything like this," the photographer said, before clambering onto a chair to shoot her pictures.

How Computer Viruses Work!!!!!!

Introduction to How Computer Viruses Work

Strange as it may sound, the computer virus is something of an Information Age marvel. On one hand, viruses show us how vulnerable we are -- a properly engineered virus can have a devastating effect, disrupting productivity and doing billions of dollars in damages. On the other hand, they show us how sophisticated and interconnected human beings have become.

For example, experts estimate that the Mydoom worm infected approximately a quarter-million computers in a single day in January 2004. Back in March 1999, the Melissa virus was so powerful that it forced Microsoft and a number of other very large companies to completely turn off their e-mail systems until the virus could be contained. The ILOVEYOU virus in 2000 had a similarly devastating effect. In January 2007, a worm called Storm appeared -- by October, experts believed up to 50 million computers were infected. That's pretty impressive when you consider that many viruses are incredibly simple.

When you listen to the news, you hear about many different forms of electronic infection. The most common are:

Viruses - A virus is a small piece of software that piggybacks on real programs. For example, a virus might attach itself to a program such as a spreadsheet program. Each time the spreadsheet program runs, the virus runs, too, and it has the chance to reproduce (by attaching to other programs) or wreak havoc.
E-mail viruses - An e-mail virus travels as an attachment to e-mail messages, and usually replicates itself by automatically mailing itself to dozens of people in the victim's e-mail address book. Some e-mail viruses don't even require a double-click -- they launch when you view the infected message in the preview pane of your e-mail software [source: Johnson].
Trojan horses - A Trojan horse is simply a computer program. The program claims to do one thing (it may claim to be a game) but instead does damage when you run it (it may erase your hard disk). Trojan horses have no way to replicate automatically.
Worms - A worm is a small piece of software that uses computer networks and security holes to replicate itself. A copy of the worm scans the network for another machine that has a specific security hole. It copies itself to the new machine using the security hole, and then starts replicating from there, as well.
In this article, we will discuss viruses -- both "traditional" viruses and e-mail viruses -- so that you can learn how they work and understand how to protect yourself.

Virus Origins
Computer viruses are called viruses because they share some of the traits of biological viruses. A computer virus passes from computer to computer like a biological virus passes from person to person.

Unlike a cell, a virus has no way to reproduce by itself. Instead, a biological virus must inject its DNA into a cell. The viral DNA then uses the cell's existing machinery to reproduce itself. In some cases, the cell fills with new viral particles until it bursts, releasing the virus. In other cases, the new virus particles bud off the cell one at a time, and the cell remains alive.

A computer virus shares some of these traits. A computer virus must piggyback on top of some other program or document in order to launch. Once it is running, it can infect other programs or documents. Obviously, the analogy between computer and biological viruses stretches things a bit, but there are enough similarities that the name sticks.

People write computer viruses. A person has to write the code, test it to make sure it spreads properly and then release it. A person also designs the virus's attack phase, whether it's a silly message or the destruction of a hard disk. Why do they do it?
There are at least three reasons. The first is the same psychology that drives vandals and arsonists. Why would someone want to break a window on someone's car, paint signs on buildings or burn down a beautiful forest? For some people, that seems to be a thrill. If that sort of person knows computer programming, then he or she may funnel energy into the creation of destructive viruses.

The second reason has to do with the thrill of watching things blow up. Some people have a fascination with things like explosions and car wrecks. When you were growing up, there might have been a kid in your neighborhood who learned how to make gunpowder. And that kid probably built bigger and bigger bombs until he either got bored or did some serious damage to himself. Creating a virus is a little like that -- it creates a bomb inside a computer, and the more computers that get infected the more "fun" the explosion.

The third reason involves bragging rights, or the thrill of doing it. Sort of like Mount Everest -- the mountain is there, so someone is compelled to climb it. If you are a certain type of programmer who sees a security hole that could be exploited, you might simply be compelled to exploit the hole yourself before someone else beats you to it.

Of course, most virus creators seem to miss the point that they cause real damage to real people with their creations. Destroying everything on a person's hard disk is real damage. Forcing a large company to waste thousands of hours cleaning up after a virus is real damage. Even a silly message is real damage because someone has to waste time getting rid of it. For this reason, the legal system is getting much harsher in punishing the people who create viruses.

Patch TuesdayOn the second Tuesday of every month, Microsoft releases a list of known vulnerabilities in the Windows operating system. The company issues patches for those security holes at the same time, which is why the day is known as "Patch Tuesday." Viruses written and launched on Patch Tuesday to hit unpatched systems are known as "zero-day" attacks. Thankfully, the major anti-virus vendors work with Microsoft to identify holes ahead of time, so if you keep your software up to date and patch your system promptly, you shouldn't have to worry about zero-day problems.

For more information I highly recommend that you go see this page at HowStuffWorks. It's called How Computer Viruses Work.

Safari style tabs for Firefox OS X

Part1

After reading two articles by Jon Hicks (1) “Safari style tabs for Firefox OS X” and (2) “Native (looking) Firefox OSX widgets”, I decided to take his ideas to the next level and create a theme for Firefox OSX to make it look like a native OSX application.

The problem was to change the form elements to make them look native OSX. After days of tring to add the form elements widjets to the theme—I gave up and used Kevin Gerich’s solution.

To install the theme, just click here (you may need to tell Firefox to allow themes to be installed from this website). Then, restart your browser and you’re done.

PC USERS – BEWARE! – THIS THEME WORK ONLY WITH MAC OS-X!

If you’d like to have a go at implementing the form elements widjets as well, you can download all the images and css here.

Instructions:

Close Firefox.
Right-click on your Firefox application, choose “Show Package Contents”, then open the Contents > MacOS > res folder.
Make a backup copy of your platform-forms.css file.
Copy the files included in the ZIP archive into the res folder.


Part2
As a CSS designer, I’m really enjoying the ‘customisablity’ of Firefox with a language that I understand. I can’t program, but I can do CSS, which it uses to define the look of its interface.
Here’s another little mod for OS X* Firefox users. It emulates an aqua version of Safari’s upside down tabs. I personally love this style, and prefer the more compact size of them compared to Firefox’s default tabs (which are designed to emulate the window title bar).

All you need to is quit Firefox, download these files, and pop them into your Firefox profile’s chrome folder. (*Please note, this is designed to use the default pinstripe theme as its basis – it won’t work on windows – sorry!). If you’ve already made changes to your userChrome.css file, you’ll need to add the enclosed css rules in your file. Please let me know if you have any problems using this mod (there have been some issues for people using the Sage mods posted earlier).

Thanks to Kevin Gerich, who helped me solve the last hurdle in creating these – changing the text size. I’d never used the CSS property font: icon, before.
