The DV bridge is the device which reads in analog video and outputs a DV stream.
So you plug any analoge video signal into one end, and a firewire connection into your computer.
The device then streams a DV stream into your computer, exactly like a digicam does.
All modern video editing software is going to be able to read this.
By contrast, a capture card it going to use hardware to encode some sort of MPEG stream. Getting drivers for these cards is impossible for linux sometimes.
Plus, the quality of the video from a capture card is sometimes not aas good.
BTW The other standard you are thinking of is probably PAL.
And this new study, which covers the 18-year period going from 1981 to 1998, shows that the Earth's temperature is rising 0.43C per decade instead of the O.34C
The damage is caused by a lack of blinking. You blink less when you watch TV and less when you're at the computer. The eyes dry out.
Also, the focusing muscles around the eys get fatigued at having to focus at the same distance continuously, and since your not blinking as much, dont get a break.
Your eyes become weak at focusing at short distances, and they are usually sore from the dryness.
every 30 minutes, look across the room for 10 seconds.
in my industry (SCADA) we have zero tolerance for downtime. we use redundancy and perform remote service, upgrade and fixes.
Of all the customers I have supported, unix beats windows every time in terms of support and explainable failures.
Rigging up a DST well test seperator with 2 7/8" tubing "chiksans" which are loops of solid steel pipes with swivel connection on each end, and a hammer union in the middle.
Each chiksan weighed in at about 100 pounds and there were about 10 of them.
These joined the pipes together, when we had to turn a corner. The pipes were about 20 feet long and weighed about 200 pounds. They were stored on the unit at shoulder height, so you could easily get them onto your shoulder to carry.
The system we set up was about 500 feet from end to end, and one end was on the rig floor, about 3 stories up. No elevator. Lots of heavy, expensive gear.
When you had everything together, you sent around with a full size sledge hammer, and hammered tight all the joins. Looked easy, but I tell you, swinging that hammer for about half an hour is hard enough when your not aiming for a 1 inch square tab of metal.
Then, you took 2 pieces of iron fence post (called "star droppers" because of their cross section) and pounded them 2 feet into the rock hard ground through a steel ring over the pipe to prevent "bucking". Bucking is where the 3000 PSI gas/liguid in the system has a pressure surge, and the pipe lifts up, easily decapitating you.
The site was 3 hours drive on "new" roads:)
It was 125F (52C).
Not only did I drink copious amounts of water (not juice as another poster mentioned) but there was a guy who's job it was to spray us down with water as we rigged up.
At the end of the day, the test was a fizz, and we rigged down and moved out.
I drank about 6 liters of water and never pee'd once.
This is not a flame. But put yourself in Sarah's shoes. Your company is doing some bad shit. People on the net are threatening you through with a non-hireable blacklist. You've think you might have to quit and get another job, that doesn't pay less. You've got 20 days. Go.
You are forgetting the ability for the agents to go back into the "real" world. Back through the phone.
Remember, the movie ended with the guy on the table - which was the same guy who had the knife, and was the guy taken over by the agent....
hehe - I work for a vendor like whom you speak of. The amount of testing required for our product if you apply a service pack for windows is enormous.
Admittedly, we are a SCADA company and most of our servers should be behind firewalls and even on a physically seperate LAN.
Our R&D dept. said "We're working on it, but if you dont screw up your network, this shouldn't be a problem".
Our service dept. said, "Um, actually, lots of the product these days is on laptops. That go home. And connect unprotected to the net. Fix the product.

People still eat at theatres?
Nope. Its www.hackaday.com.
Second that. The Slimserver is very good, and V6 will support a SQL back end should you so desire. Also, check out JWZ's Gronk

What happens when the 5 gigs fills up ?

I too have an Infocus DLP projector - and haven't had to replace the blub yet. Where do you get yours?

Um, I think you might want to take a closer look at transcode.
:)
Try this command: ls -1 `tcmodinfo -p`/export*.so
On my system, transcode can export: ac3 af6 debugppm divx4(+) divx4raw(+) divx5(+) divx5raw(+) dv dvraw fame ffmpeg im jpg lame lzo mjpeg mp2enc(*) mpeg(*) mpeg2enc(*) net null ogg pcm ppm raw toolame wav xvid xvid2 xvid3 xvid4 yuv4mpeg
(+) capable of divX format
(*) capable of DVD format
So it seems you have quite a choice
or simply:
:)
$> transcode -x dv,raw -i file.avi -o file_enc.avi -y xvid,lame
go away and come back. done.
Actually, the only reason you do a first pass is to give the codec the information it needs to randomly seek inside the source file.

Dude - excellent write up. Pissing myself laughing (although I bet its not funny to you).
:)
Good to hear you got out of there
Summer job. In the dessert :)

Agreed.
Now die testily.
The Answer is "42".
The question is "Who do you want to infect today?"
how about tungsten-w + bluetooth sd + bluetooth headset?
wait - thats three things, and the treo is one thing....
I think I'm going to wait another year before purchasing anything.
What about the Palm Tungsten-W
Looks neat, I'd like to see a side by side with the Treo600....

You've got 20 days.
Go.
But, this doesn't test CPU speed of course - but I have to assume the origionator of this thread knew that ;)
True. How about a 600 meg file from one drive to another?
True enough.

blah blah blah. Most users use linux. It takes months to patch windows boxes. Listen to yourself mate - your ranting.
