It depends how you plan to do it. Are we talking a "Red vs. Blue" kind of thing with a plotline and it's more of a video game movie or are we talking like a commentary kind of thing.
If it's the first I'd say script it all out first and foremost before doing anything. Then get your footage and add the audio.
If it's the second then get your gameplay first as you never quite know what could come up. Then script it and add audio.

The Mac should detect the HDMI device as an HDTV, and offer you resolutions of 720p, 1080i, and/or 1080p. If you select one of the specific "HD" resolutions, and not random other resolutions (even the seemingly identical 1280x720 and 1920x1080!) it should work.
Also, make sure your refresh rate is 60 or 30 Hz.
Indeed it does! The issue seemed to be that at somepoint the machinations we had put the signal through had made it "dumb," i.e. the Mac didn't recognize it's BlackMagic Intensity Pro as as "broadcast" resolution device. However I am now stuck at the next phase, getting Blackmagic Intensity Pro into SKYPE.
However, I can confirm now that WireCast (the software we are using for the output from the PC) does recognize the connection and says "BMD HDMI".
The video comes into Blackmagic Media Express... (1080i 60)
HOWEVER -- I still cannot get it to show up in e2eSoft VCam or Skype (under the "Decklink" option) for both.
Do you know why it is being so picky?

@herruberraschen - are there any online at a reasonably affordable price? most iPod classic's earlier than the 7th gen are more expensive (at a new price) than the current gen. :-/
If not I may break down and pay the extra amount for the older 5/5.5 model.

Hi guys,
updated to 10.7 today. first thing i noticed.. while click and dragging a window around, it was lagging compared to SL.
Weird thing to notice first i know.. but it gives me the false impression that my Mac Pro is lagging and can't process the window. Is anyone else noticing this?
Will this get fixed?
Thanks a lot :)
I don't have any lag when I drag any windows. Report as a bug and *fingers crossed* it will get fixed next release if Apple gets enough reports to investigate it.

Reinstall the OS.
If you do an "Archive and Install" type of installation, it'll be very easy and will keep all the bookmarks, personal info, photos, music, documents, and everything else in your home folder intact.
Sweet, eh?

is Skype as good as its hype, or even half as good as its hype?
I've read in Skype-crazy blogs that Skype is supplanting text IM in many businessworld circles. Is that true? Or just in certain communities?
also:
1) what is 56K performance
2) how hard is it *really* to pay for, and dial from skype to phone?

Just gotta work out how to clone my old hard drive to it when it arrives so I don't have to faff around re-installing everything
I don't have a SATA caddy so wonder if I can clone my existing drive to an external then clone it back with the new, blank drive installed in the machine...is this do-able?

I currently have a Gamecube and PS2.
I was looking at a new console for our kids' birthday on 17th of March (5 years old).
I was thinking Wii, since that would be most suited for kids that age. But something bothers me about the Wii : accessories.
I just learned about the Sensor bar : ok, but that's another wire. Next to the Wii motes (we'll need two), nunchucks and all the batteries they need, I'm starting to feel that it'll be more trouble than fun.
Same thing with the PS3 (and in addition to that, it's really expensive)
So the 360 just has the standard wireless controllers + the kinect. No other accessories to consider. Only thing is, there aren't many games out yet that cater for young children.
So maybe it 'd be better to wait until Christmas or somewhere around that time. Maybe I'll just get some more games for the PS2 and GC (maybe some buzz junior games) for the time being.
In any case, I had never thought of it like this, but when I look at all the stuff you have to buy extra for the Wii or PS3, the 360 has a HUGE advantage over these systems with Kinect. Microsoft maybe on to a winner here ! Then again, there's that minimum distance of 6 feet... Ouch.

Hello all
just another bit of trouble from Redmond I guess.... but it is annoying....isn't everything from that company? All of a sudden when i open a WMP movie it starts and then I get a message...over the screen..."this file may not play correctly because it was compressed by using a codec that is not supported"....
well thats kind of strange because it was fully supported and fine this morning!
It seems to have affected some Quicktime files as well...I have done the permissions check, rebooted, and downloaded a few new movie trailers and they seem fine...all of iTunes MP3's are good as well!
I am wary of all the recent little "funny" festive movies I am getting via email from my festive PC Windows friends ..could I have been infected by these???
Merry Christmas...here's a virus for Christmas from my stinking Dell computer.
Please help me with this I don't want this to get any farther into my Mac!
G5 iMac, 1.8, 768 DDR RAM, 20 inch.
Thank you...and Happy Holidays

I have a wireless router supplied by Verizon for our FiOS TV/Internet package. I also have an old 802.11g Airport Extreme Base Station (the "flying saucer" model from 2005) connected to it via an Ethernet cable and configured as a bridge so I can run an Apple network. I also have an 802.11g Airport Express from 2005 in another area of the house to extend wireless coverage, and to stream Airtunes to our home theater system. There are two Macs on the network, both running OS 10.6.7.
Every so often over the past year, I'd notice that the light on the AE would be orange. I'd unplug and replug the AE, and the light would go back to green. I don't know what if any effect this had on our wireless network. Our Macs, iPhones, and iPads worked fine. Airtunes was spotty, sometimes working well, and sometimes dropping out. We also have a Sony wireless Blu-Ray player that streams Pandora, and it's been more reliable than Airplay, but it occasionally drops out, requiring reconnecting to the network.
Last week, the Apple network starting dropping out on a daily basis. Our Macs automatically default to the Verizon wireless router, but our iPhones and iPads don't. Sometimes I can reconnect to the Apple network, but sometimes the devices won't recognize the network password. When the latter happens, unplugging and re-plugging the AEBS restores the network.
Today, while troubleshooting, I noticed that the AE didn't appear in Airport Utility, even though the light was solid green. I connected it to my Mac via an Ethernet cable, and it appeared in Airport Utility. When I tried to check the settings, it asked for the password, but the password I remembered didn't work. So I did a hard reset on the AE to reconfigure it. I configured it to join my existing network, and to extend network coverage. I got a message saying that it was updated successfully, and to wait for it to restart. It never restarted; the orange light remained flashing, and Airport Utility gave an error message saying the AE didn't restart. I've tried the hard reset several times. When the AE first appears in Airport Utility, it says it's configured as a base station on its own network. When I go through the reconfiguration routine, it says that the update was successful, but the AE never restarts, and the light stays in flashing orange mode.
I don't know if I have multiple problems. Could I have a defective AE? If so, could it have been causing the Apple network to drop out? Now that I've unplugged it, signal strength is lower in the rest of the house, just as it was before I bought the AE in 2005. The network hasn't dropped out, but it's only been a few hours.
Could I have a defective AEBS? My MacBook Pro is right next to my AEBS, and it has full bars. However, I'm holding my iPhone 4 right next to my AEBS, and wireless strength is only 2 bars. If I move 5 feet away, bars go to full. Once I get to the other side of the house, it drops back to 2 bars. Airport Utility says that the AEBS is fine, though.
To my knowledge, I don't have any other devices that could be interfering with airport, but my next-door neighbor might. I'm going to try switching to a different wireless channel, but interference wouldn't explain why my AE won't restart.
Finally, if I do determine that my AE is bad, is it worth upgrading my AEBS to the current version? In other words, is 80211n (which our newer Macs support) less subject to dropouts than 802.11g, or does it just offer faster throughput?

I just loaded OSX client onto my 2010 mini server the other day and have been having issues with low ram, all i am doing is running XBMC and only have 200mb free. I was looking around in "About this mac" to make sure that I really had 4gb or ram when i noticed that is says "64-bit Kernel and Extensions: NO".
I double checked in the terminal and it said i386. As far as I knew there is not two separate OSX discs for 64bit and 32bit. Why would it load 32 bit?
Thanks!
