First, get the Dazzle device out of the system. You don't need it for this task at all. It's used for converting analog video to digital video.
Connect your camcorder directly to your Mac using the appropriate Firewire cable.
Turn on your Mac and the camera. Make sure the camera is set to VTR (play mode) and also set to output via the Firewire port (Firewire ports may also be labeled as: iLink, DV, DV I/O and IEEE 1394).
The camera will NOT show up =(mount) on your desktop. However, your chosen NLE app should "see" the camera and be able to capture from it IF you have the correct capture settings for the type of footage you recorded.

Just want to say that if you are using CS5 I would not recommend the current Mac Mini - I just think it is too slow. At least if you are going to have a browser/code editor or whatever else open in the background too.
I have a laptop with a C2D processor and also run CS5 and multitask and it is definitely a bit on the slow side.
The processors in the current Mac Mini range are pretty rubbish tbh (especially for the money).

So I decided to go with the Areca 1880ix-12 since word on the internet :) is it outperforms the latest offerings from ATTO. Does it come with an 8088 cable as well to connect external storage solution or just the 8087 internal?
Also with this MaxConnect HDD adapter solution for 3rd party RAID should I go with this one with no miniSAS cable:
I presume the Areca controller already comes with an 8087 miniSAS to 4xSATA header cable, do I still need the miniSAS cable that MaxConnect are including in that latter package ? In general do you I need any other accessories besides the ones that come with this MaxConnect pack to connect my 4x SATA HDD's to the controller ?
The card only comes with fan-out cables (SFF-8087 to 4i*SATA/SAS ends; 1x per SFF-8087 port, so in the case of the ARC-1880ix12, it will come with 3x of them).
In theory, you could order the version of the Maxupgrades kit without the MiniSAS cable, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and get it (it may be shorter, as those that come with the Areca are 0.5 meters in length). Assuming the cable with the kit is shorter, it won't be as messy as a longer cable could be in terms of routing (those that have used that particular kit haven't mentioned it was a mess that I recall).
You won't need any other cabling to connect the card to the HDD bays (it all comes in the MaxUpgrades kit).
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.
BTW, stick to 1.0 meters or less with SATA disks (1.0 m tends to be the shortest you can get off the shelf, but other lengths are possible via a custom order - I've done this before), and do not use the PCI bracket mount adapters to take internal to external cables (results in instability due to contact resistance - been through this battle before). These adapters are meant to be used with SAS, which runs at a much higher signal voltage (20V) than internal SATA (400mV).
As for flashing I'll take your advice and do it through firefox, the older version too and not the new 4 that just came out. So it's browser management\flashing utility is available irrespective of whether the card is flashed to EFI yet or not? Considering that it would by default be with BIOS I presume this to be the case?
You don't need to use the older version of Firefox. I was referring to Safari in terms of older versions that had been tried and didn't work (not tried Safari 5, but given past revisions, I'd skip even trying it when I know Firefox will work properly).
As per how to do it, a browser works in any OS supported by the card (browser connects via an IP address assigned to the RAID card). Now the firmware is actually in 4 parts (i.e. what you'd get in a firmware download off of Areca's support site). Assuming you don't need to upgrade anything else, you just use EFI to replace BOOT.bin, which is the BIOS version (leave the others alone).
There should be instructions in the manual that comes with the card fif you're a bit confused (it's in the others, so it should be there this go around as well). There's also confirmation check boxes to be marked before any flash is actually performed anyway (nice little safety feature), so you can look around without causing problems.

IF you modded, that you can run linux on it, then it's very easy to put folding on it. I will try to convince a friend of mine who mods Xbox's and try it on his, if he wants to. He is a bit carefull with folding, I explained it to him a couple of times, but he doesn't get it. :(

the process of importing differs for your various formats.
for your flash formats, plug in your camera, your content should mount like an external drive. Drag and drop to where your archiving, ie create a folder and put stuff there, organized how you like. copying the files over will not erase them on the source.
Importing DV tape is covered in the previous post.
VHS has to be digitized first. Then imported from digital master.
make a copy of the copy. Once it's on your computer your footage isn't safe, it's just on your computer. Use an external HD, back-up your material and store it in a separate location from your computer.
if you have a lot of footage you'll probably need an external drive for scratch anyways when editing. In that case, you need two external drives, one for scratch and one for archive.

I was going to wait at the Apple Store that day, but thought that by the time I got there the line would be too long and they would run out, so I went to an AT&T store close by to get the iPhone. I did run by the Apple Store around 10pm that same evening and found out that they had more than enough phones to go around.
I heard the line was insanely long that day, but was managed well and it didn't take long to get all those people in and out of the store with their new toy...I'm sure next Friday will be the same way depending on how many people are going to buy a new Mac the same day as well.
It's going to be interesting. :)

I picked up a SonyStyle catalog last week and I noticed that Sony is also announcing a GPS add-on for their cameras. Presumably it would do the same thing. I guess the idea being you can track the locations of your photographs as you travel on vacation.
To each his own, I guess, but I thought that seemed pretty silly when Sony was producing it, and I still think it's silly even with Apple at the helm. I mean, sure, it's cool, but would I pay a couple hundred bucks for that? No. Definitely an early adopter toy.
However, I do happen to be in the minority of folks that has a good GPS receiver (in my case for geocaching (http://www.geocaching.com)) so it might just be that since I already have invested good money into existing devices that provide me the means of doing the same thing, I'm reticent to spend more on the same thing. It would be neat to see more integration between, say, Bluetooth enabled GPS units (which exist) and digital cameras.

i had a hard case before and my ipod fell from my loft bed (not even close to 2 metres), and fell apart and my ipod was dead.
2 metres is over 6'. Normally, phones and mp3 players are dropped from about 3'-4'.
That said, I agree that hard cases aren't the best - they're too rigid. I think either padded silicone or leather provide better protection. I've dropped my iPod in its leather case multiple times (on hardwood, tile, concrete, whatever). The only damage it's every suffered occurred when it slipped out of the case on its way down.

And if you need to use those pages or keynote projects at work or in school?
Define "need to use." I use Pages for all of my reports, and output to PDF for presentation to my clients. If they need a Word version, I export it as Word. Never had a single complaint. I present in Keynote quite often, sometimes saving the slides in PDF form. Never had a complaint there either; in fact the Keynote presentations in particular get rave reviews.
I don't get why people manufacture so many impediments that don't exist to using something other than MS Office. I would loathe the thought of being chained to MS Office, or anything else for that matter, for the rest of my life.

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?

Do you make money with that machine?
I use a 2009 MBP (17") and upgraded the RAM to 6GB (more will follow) and an SSD and it is quite a snappy machine in PS CS5 with 12MP RAW photos. An ix-core MBP will be faster in calculating effects, thus if you do a lot of effects work that take five seconds on your current MBP, they will take two to three seconds on a newer MBP.
lol no I don't make money on this system, seems like the better option is B. I've already got a 64gb SATIII SSD, would that be enough for PS5 as well as lightroom?

No, alloc and release do not always occur in the same function. For example, one object creates another object (and stores a pointer to it) at init time...then at dealloc time, releases it. Very common.
To elaborate on this, imagine that you have an object of class Car that needs to access another object of class Wheel for Car's entire life span. You would want to create the Wheel when you create the Car, retain it. And then you release the Wheel when dealloc is called on the Car. Here would be init and dealloc for Class Car.
@interface Car : NSObject {
