>> i haven't really figured out how to seperately adjust left and right channels. there are seperate knobs, but they seem to be locked together. You have to do it with two hands. Set them as you want the left channel to be, then hold it still while turning the…
>> Q. How did the interface access through media composer?..(effects pallet, etc) Yes, the only evidence of the Pinnacle that I saw (other than a big box sitting beside the computer) was extra effects in the effects palette — all of which were real-time. >> I've heard alot of positive…
>> as for comments regarding red bleeding on the l2, i can say red is the hardest color to get right under ntsc, and no camera in your price range will get it 100% right. I certainly expect that. However, my _particular_ camera is _really_, _really_ bad. I sure don't…
>> Actually the ONLY 3D effects are possible with the upcoming Pinnacle Board promised at NAB. You're correct. I had thought this was one of the things the 8000 had that the 1000 did not (I have a 1000). At NAB I saw the Pinnacle demo on a 1000 though,…
>> Do you know whether the problem you're having is unique to your camera or it's a model-wide problem? I don't really know. I first thought I had a problem just with this individual camera, and took it in for repair. I included a test tape I shot in my…
>> Just how good is the EVW-300? I see posts that say it's absolutely wonderful. Fabulous results! I have certainly never seen any other camera that produces images as good as this, and with absolute control over practically everything. Of course, it is a professional camera, and you pay accordingly……
FWIW,I have aL2 and am _very_ unhappy with it. It has horrible red bleed that puts halos around any Caucasian's skin, yet I am told it is "in spec" and Canon refuses to do anything about it. It is even far worse than my Canon A1-MKII, which I find particularly…
Yes, the 8100's are in short supply — a critical part was made in Kobe, Japan and is now offline due to the quake. Word is that this shortage will probably last until June. I'm lucky to have gotten a 8100/110 the day after Christmas (direct from Apple since I…
>> Good luck with your MC, and I hope they treat you better than they did us with MSP. so far, very much so. As far as dumping your MSP, I hope you will actually donate it to a local high school. they can always use something like to start/enhance…
>> I am not an editor, but our Avid MSP system is trash. If you had visited the BPFORUM or Avid's forums here on CIS a month or two ago, you would have seen me screaming at the top of my lungs the same thing. 🙂 I looked at alternatives,…

Zinc x-platform?
Message #164128
Has anyone here used the Zinc platform? I saw a demo at the Software Development conference in San Jose and was rather impressed with it. I was also surprised that I had not heard of it before though. They have portable versions for Mac, Windows, NT, DOS, Unix, etc, and…

>> If you're not sure what someone's talking about, you can always read the earlier posting… it's online, I use the 'ri' command. Not when the scan is being done offline using Nav. I sometimes get off-the-wall comments to me that, out of context are meaningless. A one liner quoted…
I'm emailing you a project file from a project that works with Oracle. No sources, but you can look at the options I used to see what worked for me. – Burt
>> C++ lets you assign any pointer type to variable of type void *, but NOT the other way around; C++ considers such things "unsafe." Typecasting, however, works Yes, I knew that typecasting worked, and was what I did to make that code work. I was just surprised that going…
I finally called a friend today and went over with my program in hand and asked him to help me past this hurdle. As I expected, it turned out to be pretty easy. The key was that when I created the instance of my class (CCard, which is the class…
Thanks — that looks like the exact answer I was looking for! – Burt
>> Are there newer Oracle library files somewhere? Yes, available from Oracle. Mine have a modify date of 4/8/92. Do you have the documentation that came with the libs? The documentation pretty much describes how to go about doing it. I have a reasonably large application that is currently being…
TCL Expert Wanted
Message #7241
I have been programming the Mac for a long time in ThC, but am having quite a few problems teaching myself TCL while trying to continue to meet project schedules for several clients in parallel. I've decided what I really need is someone that knows TCL and is willing to…
Thanks for the explanation of the lists. It's good to know that I am only paying the memory price for the list once, and have no problem keeping it in my program in that case. I saw the GetCellText and the initialization code, and believe I understand them. However, the…
Thanks for the detailed response! The reference to a specific page in your book is a big help too, as I have trouble finding specific info in there (I earlier suggested an improved index for just that reason). I'll give it a try and you'll see me again if I…
#AM TCL Lists
Message #7194
I am slowly getting things working here, but keep running into questions of how to properly proceed. It doesn't seem to me that the AM manual helps much in explaining what the classes are that AM generates and how to use them (that info it fine for C though). At…
#Using C from C++
Message #7191
I am new to C++, so this may be a dumb questions, but what the heck… I have some C functions that I have used for eons to handle tasks I need frequently. I am now getting into my first TCL program, and figured I'd just bring along my standard…
>> if there are specific CMaster capabilities that you'd like to see in BBEdit, drop a note and tell me How about bulk comment/uncomment function? – Burt
My problems were not really with AM, but rather with my extremely limited knowledge of C++ (read a couple books) and TCL (none). Switching to AM's 1.5.4X version resulted in code that was easier for me to follow. Even in the original code though, AM worked fine. Only my changes…
Thanks. I saw the way you did it in your book, but that looked pretty cumbersome to me and I thought I had an "easier" way to do it — that ended up not working… 🙁 I changed to Spec's 1.5.4X version, and made the window into a dialog (which…
>> Are your radio buttons in a window or in a dialog (modal or modeless). I think that our new code for radio groups is generated in modal dialogs. That's the major part we changed in 1.5.4X. We might not have done it yet elsewhere. That explains it then. This…
>> The sound input devices on the newer (IIsi and after) Macs only record at 11KHz and 22KHz. Major bummer! >> Try recording at 22KHz and subsampling 1-for-3 to get a little more than 7KHz. I tried that quickly last night, and it sounded like Donald Duck. 🙂 I'm going…
#AM 1.5.4X & TCL
Message #7053
I grabbed the 1.5.4X updater and installed it, apparently with no problem. I then opened the resource I had created under 1.5.4 and had it regenerate all the sources again (into a new directory so that it did not prevent createing the user files). I then built and ran that.…
That problem is now behind me. It had nothing to do with the DeskWriter 550C driver, or for that matter with Symantec at all. It was a bug in the MemCheck libraries that I use — they redefine memset() and all other memory access functions to allow me to track…
>> In AppMaker 1.5.4X (which I recommend you install) we generate code to set the radio buttons' IDs to 1,2,3,4, etc. and generate Get/SetGroupChoice methods. That does sound much better! I'll go grab the updater and try it. I saw the rather roundabout way that Rick set the IDs in…

Apple produced Virtual User a couple years ago. I think it is now in version 2. You can purchase it from APDA. – Burt
#Sound Manager 8KHz
Message #7023
I have an application where I need to record sound from the Mic at 8KHz. It is important to use that frequency because I then feed the resulting sound into some hardware that only works at that frequency (telephone stuff). I have the following snippet of code (all error checking…

#TCL Radio Buttons
Message #7015
I am just starting to use TCL and am very confused it seems. I have a window on which I placed several RadioGroupPanes, each with 4 buttons. The original code is generated by AppMaker 1.5.4. I am trying to get/set the initial values of the radio buttons, but it ain't…

A friend is having a problem that I am unable to help with, so I promised to ask the combined genius here on CI$ and see if someone else knows. Since I do not know assembly (or at least haven't looked at it since 1980), I'm not really in a…
