Okay, I finally found the answer searching over at Adobe’s site:

EDIT: The above post is no longer online, scroll down a few replies in this thread and see the picture I posted below, that should clear it up for you. I’m still using CS4 so I’m not sure this is still an issue for the most current users.

no, that button and the shortcut key (x) just switches the foreground to the background color and vice versa. What I’m talking about is when I select a color from the swatch palette it goes to the background color instead of the foreground color. I can press the command key to make it go to the foreground color but this is reversed from the way it used to be.

I’d thought I’d have to wait a while for being slow to act, but it seems a few camera shops have them. I just ordered a brand new one on ebay for the same price as Amazon and BH. Philip Bloom says I should have forgone the stock lens kit, oh well.

It appears it did just arrive in stores but I think the first shipment has all but sold out!
Jon Connor got one today:

That’s the one! I knew I’d used it before, just couldn’t remember the right phrase, STACK!

If you’re using DV at 720×480, remember to de-interlace and scale back to square pixels for web delivery. You could probably find a copy of VH around the net with a google search or torrent search. It’s still by far one of the best and easiest converters to use. The author of VH gave away the source and a few people have tried to keep it going but no much action on it lately.

You also may want to think about what your final format will be. If you’re going out to DVD you might want to go ahead and convert them to DV and edit them that way. There should be no trouble since you’re going from 15 to 30 so each frame will be doubled.
I usually work in DV and last week a guy brought me some image sequences of an architectural 3D fly-through that he needed pieced together. They were 24fps, which I thought would be no big deal since I could combine each of the image sequences into a movie then edit in 24fps in FCP. They were also 1024×768, also no big deal since they were the right aspect ratio.
I had no problem combining the image sequences into movies with QT. I had no problem editing in FCP in 24fps 1024×768. I ran into problems when I exported the movie for DVD. I got a glitch every place I had an edit. I never could figure out why. Under a hard deadline, I decided to convert all the 24fps movie pieces to DV so I could re-edit in that format. It worked but the results were less than stellar. I converted them using the open source VisualHub because it does it so quickly. (good, fast, cheap, pick two) That was my mistake, the client was not pleased with the slight stuttering effect that the conversion from 24 to 29.97 produced. So after further research I happened upon an old ally Ken Stone and he pointed me in the right direction on doing a proper conversion. Hope this ramble helps.

You can import a image sequence into Quicktime and then save it out as a movie. The images must be numbered sequentially, e.g. still001.jpg, still002.jpg, still003.jpg, etc.
It will ask you for the frame rate.DT Motion Pictures

Yes Andreas, I too have searched far and wide for a quick, easy way to convert an mp3 file to aiff at 48khz. Opening it in QT then exporting it just seemed to be a very time consuming situation. Lately I’ve used AudialHub which does a fine job (BTW it is no longer being supported, you’ll probably have to get a copy from a torrent) but still seemed a little more steps than it should require. I’ve also tried this applescript, it’s a little old but does the same thing as AudialHub.
