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 don't like it because it would require 2 hands to use.
I'll think, it will be a Creative video device that Apple manufactures. Windows users will like that stupid UI. Because they don't like the future video iPod, they'll by this thing like grazy and Apple gets the money.
That is the 200 million settlement.
My 2 cents :D

I�m look for the best solution for a media centre and network, and I was hoping from some input from you guys.
I�n our place we have a macbook pro, mac mini, ipad and iphone. The mac mini is plugged in to the television in the living room and the macbook is in the office.
What I ideally want is 2 hard drives, 1 partitioned three ways, macbook time machine, mac mini time machine and the third partition as a media file server, the other hard drive to be a back up of this one. Then all the devices in the house will be able to view/use the media files over wireless from the same file server partition.
Initially I thought about just getting an airport extreme and connecting the hard drives to that.
But then I wasn�t sure if the ios devices would be able to read files from the hard drive, as for home sharing to work, they have to go through itunes don�t they? Or is it possible to do what I initially thought?
The other option I thought of was to use the mac mini as the hub, plug both hard drives in to that and then the ios devices would be able to read the media files through itunes home sharing.
What do you guys think?
Also, how would I go about continuously cloning the first hard drive to the second?

The latest version you can get from iTunes is 3.1.3 which does support the App Store. Not sure why its saying its the most current release though, because anything 1.x is soooo old. I don't even think you have email on that.
1.1.3 added Mail.app and a few other missing apps to the touch (for $20).
It says your iPod is up to date because most touch users went from 1.1.4 to 2.0 (a $10 upgrade) while users who didn't want to pay got 1.1.5 shortly after the 2.0 upgrade (security fix I think).
Then the upgrade from 2.2.1 to 3.x was $10, so 1.1.5 is the latest fw for touch 1g users who never upgraded to 2.x.

I went to the 3G launch at cpw at teesside park. Queue was about 20/30 people at 7am. It opened at 8. If you know it it went from cpw down to brantano. Sold out of 16gbs about half way through the queue.
I think the town centres will be less popular and should be a better bet if you really want a particular model. Plus there's more shops - I think mbro still has two o2's and a cpw?
I hope it's easier this time as I don't fancy another early start. Hopefully other carriers will have it on thursday too to dilute the queues
Yeah, I know where you meen, I'll prob stick to one of the centres, live in yarm so they are all 10-15min drive away.
Should help that o2 are only offering them to existing customers though.

Who's stopping you from upgrading? I'd do it now, get the 4, then be ready for the 6 next year!

Yes. Just wait, the new redsn0w will probably be here by the weekend. If it is like the last one they did you will just have to run redsn0w again to untether.

One question for you Arn. When you first started this site, would have expected it to have turned into what you see today or were you hoping for something else?
Overall, I like how things have turned out...
Ideally, I would like to be able to put more time into the design/graphics of the site... but it does what it needs to at the moment.
In terms of functionality, I would have liked it to be a bit more easily trackable - rumor wise... with perhaps the latest rumors available on specific topics, as well as a more easily searchable database.... but that comes with time and some coding.... and I'll get to it... maybe by MWNY, we'll have things a bit better...
overall, I'm pretty pleased though, and enjoy the rumor community.

Sorry to say Bella apple could really care less if you switched
Apple might not care individually from person to person, but they care that Android (and now Windows Phone 7) is stealing market share away from them. This is a fact, look at the figures.
If we didn't have wonderful hackers to JB these things for us and make them usable, it would be even worse.

Nope. You can add up to 10 per page (at least on my iPhone, I wonder if it's more on my iPad). Regardless, it just starts squishing them all together. This is where having Shrink really starts to help.
Ok, that's sweet, just what I am looking for. Thanks.

Not trying to shoot down a good idea here, however, I do not see using GSP and Google maps as a mainstream use of Iphoto or some other PDA type application. I do see some very specifice uses where this can be very useful.
However, the technology is to problematic at this point, like I pointed out GPS does not work indoors, and someone pointed out that it could easily assume the nearest location you were at outside before going indoors. This assumes you keep the devices on all the time and not just turn it on when you went indoors. For the most part Cell phone does this, but a camera which most people use to take picture will not be. So all you got is location that camera was last outdoors which could be 100's if miles away.
Some did hit on the idea that might work and is was that website where people posted pictures form cell phone and they were linked to a google map location so people could see points of interest. All this feature allows people to do is have it all done for you verse having to remember where you took the picture and then find the location on google maps and attach it.

If you want to use an internal port with an external enclosure, there's a special cable you'd need to get for this. If you want to use the external port (keep in mind, this typically shares ports with an internal connector in past models, such as the 1680 series), you'd need to buy one. Either way, these do not come with the card, and you'd only need to get them if you're planning on running an external enclosure/s.
Nanofrog, could you please tell me what is the special cable that I need to get to use the 2nd SFF-8087 internal port on the Areca 1880 to connect an external enclosure?

Giving my '08 Mac Pro a new lease of life with a SSD. 3'5 (so I won't have to worry about sleds etc.) I'm going for a clean install, but is there any special considerations regarding formatting I should be aware of?
This is the drive;
OCZ Vertex 2E Bigfoot 120GB 3.5" SATA-II
Should I install in windows first to update firmware?
EDII read this post which has got me thinking it going to be difficult

This is weird...I've been using Google's DNS servers basically - which are considered as the fastest in my area - does that really affect Apple downloads?
I don't know whether it affects Apple or not but I remember reading about it here in NZ where people were being directed to US servers instead of NZ ones. The speed difference between our domestic and international bandwidth is huge.

Ok. Ok. The damn thing is a fake. How do I know, because an apple rep from the apple store came in the night of the Jaguar release and informed me that four former apple designers came up with the hoax. They built a plastic rendition using a computer and a laser cutter. They then superimposed the newton OS onto the face of the device. The person writing was writing on a the screen, but it was the newton doing all the work. The reason why it looks a little different is they just adjusted the colors and some of the icons to meet a more "OSX" look. Man..that sucks. I know... I know...I should have known, but damn.:mad:
Peace.

There are no photos yet..but afterdawn.com has reported that Toshiba will release a5GB Bluetooth HDD (http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/3440.cfm) ideally for PDA's, but that dosen't that the iPod should be left out... because it sports the same drive from Toshiba!!!
Even thou it states that "Toshiba doesn't have currently plans to sell the drive outside Japan" doesn't mean that we can't have hope!!;)

As I posted in a more obscure thread,
Never forget that the zune brought us this:

I still find it a little disturbing but I think it's also possibly the single funniest thing I've ever seen involving Microsoft.
I have never actually used a zune. They looked ok really, except the brown one (IMHO).
I was about to say - here's my original post:
