Anyone passing & successfully?

Hi all - we've run into a scenario where the ampersand is a legitimate piece of data from our external source, but are realizing as a control character in XML, it poses a problem for us. Is anyone else dealing with this? If so, how? Tdata comes to/from XI via MQSeries with a JMS adapter. We're parsing the messages into XI/XML in an internal java mapping, and it blows up upon receiving the &. We also know both < and > are coming soon, so we're hoping someone has found a solution we can borrow. Thanks

If you treat the < or > as a part of your data, you need to escape them in the source as "<" or ">", and in your parsing program, you need to treat them as ONE character length.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone been successful importing h.264 into Encore?

First, my system and goal:
A MacPro with 2.66mHz dual core and 12 gigs of RAM.
Multi Terrabytes of space.
I shoot on a Panasonic HVX-200, edit in Final Cut Pro and output Quicktime files as the basis for rendering to DVD and Blu-ray. I shot this stuff in 1080i. The camera codec is DVCPROHD and that is what I output to also.
I am trying to burn Blu-ray discs. I have an external Pioneer BDR-203 Blu-ray burner and it works fine.
I have done my tests and have decided that for Blu-ray, h.264 is far superior to mpeg2 in look and file size so I am sticking with it.
Here is the issue (and I have scoured this forum area and found no one discussing or solving this issue to date):
I have made hundreds of different DVDs with DVDStudioPro and am very familiar with it. Not to get off on a tangent but my beloved Apple has decided to betray me by not supporting Blu-ray (the ONLY way to output HD for us independents) so I studied up on Encore and have been using it to format my latest project to HD. The interface works pretty nice and even has some superiority to DVDSP but you have to have the patience of JOB to see your results. 5 Day (Remember. That's 24 Hour Days) Rendering is my tops so far. (OK. Full Disclosure... the documentary is 3 hours and 15 minutes long BUT DVDStudioPro took the same Quicktime files and crunched them down to mpeg2 for the DVD in about a day) Anyway about 6 days ago I had a 3 day render session that crapped out on me as it was finally recording to disc. For some reason it didn't like the BD-RE disc I had in the machine and just bagged the whole process. When I put in a new disc it just started rendering All Over Again. After that debacle I gave up on that method and now am rendering to BDMV folders which I then burn to disc using Toast. (While I am writing this my fingers are crossed that it will make it to the end - it's been another 3 days...)
I provide the details above to show why I am more than dismayed that I cannot figure any way to import h.264 files INTO Encore from another renderer. Either Compressor or Encoder render much faster than Encore. So I have tried render my project to a variety of output types from both Apple's Compressor and Adobe's Encoder with no joy any way I try.
(as a side note I am also dismayed that when I made a change to a MENU, Encore decided to encode The Whole Project Again rather than just the menu part...)
One of my latest file testing adventures was based on a theory that the problem has to do with DVCPROHD recording to 1280 x 1080 anamorphic rather than 1440 x 1080 (the "expected" frame size for 1080i). I fooled with that a half day but could not get either renderer to generate any test material from my FCP output that Encore would burn without re-rendering. By that I mean I cajoled and tricked Compressor and Encoder to output 1920 x 1080 files; 1440 x 1080 files and 1280 x 1080 files (all h.264) to see if Encore would recognize any of them without re-rendering them. No Luck.
So. Has anyone had success importing h.264 into CS4Encore from anywhere (but particularly using the same or similar gear I am using)? The Encore literature really doesn't give you much to go oon.
Lately I am very inclined to think the problem has something to do with this 1280 x 1080 DVCPROHD issue but I can't say for sure. I offer that as a suggestion if anyone else with a similar production stream is having the same problem and maybe it will trip a switch in their mind for a solution.
I like the Encore interface and design possibilities you have by swinging back and forth from PShop and After Effects but using Encore's renderer is like Chinese Water Torture.
Thanks for your help.

Brian,
I got your test file into Encore and got Encore to show its Blu-ray transcode status as "Don't Transcode".

Anyone had success re-matching an incompletely matched album?

iTunes Match did a reasonably decent job matching my music. The main exceptions seem to be where iTunes has a remastered version and I had a rip from a pretty old CD.
On the other hand, I have a lot of cases where every song on an album but one or two matched. It seems incomprehensible.
Has anyone had success getting a later match in that case? I've tried deleting the song from iCloud and re-adding it to iTunes, but it just uploads again.

I've been looking at this some and it seems to be a combination of song length and price of song that throws off the matching. For albums that were only partially matched, when I look at the iTunes version vs my version, often times my version is a few seconds longer / shorter (due to the CD conversion process adding / subtracting seconds) or the iTunes song has a different price than the other songs on the album. (like $1.29 vs $.99 for the rest). The last song on a album is most likely for me not to be matched, probably because CD conversion may sometimes add length to the last song.
I'm not saying this is right or how to fix it, I just think that's what is going on. The only thing I'm sure of that's it's NOT taking into account the ALBUM NAME (since I change many of mine and I still get matches). I also do not think it's doing any type of audio fingerprint match as that would take WAY too long to do on large libraries - even a 5 second sample on my 13,000 song library would take about 18 hours not counting transmission time). So it looks like song name, artist, song length and PRICE (for some reason) are the important factors for match.

I just started playing Warcraft quite a bit on my MBP 2008 15". I customized my MBP pretty nice with 4GB RAM, etc.
I have generally had no problems. In fact, my MBP performs better than the rather nicely spec'd PC I used to run Warcraft on. I can set the Warcraft video settings pretty high and still get at least decent framerates. Crowded cities the FR goes down to maybe around 20 which is no biggie - where you want your FR's good is in instances/raids. My FR's in those go way up to 50-70...smooth, even with effect settings pretty high and max resolution on my external monitor I'm running the game on.
My MBP will indeed get hot, fans whir, etc. Especially in cities. I ordered one of those Zephr's or whatever their called - a fan/heatsink built for MBP's to sit on to keep them a bit cooler. That should arrive soon.
In the meantime I've been propping up my MPB off the desk service so that it gets plenty of air circulation underneath it...that seems to help with the heat actually quite a bit.

Has anyone had success using NI PCI cards at -20C? My specific needs are for RS-422/482 and GPIB cards.

NI cards have been qualified to operate only to zero degrees C. I need serial abd GPIB PCI cards that operate to -20C for military application. Has anyone had success using these cards at this lower operating temperature?

Hi,
I am not sure if this helps, but the ENET-232 is spec'd to operation at -40 degrees C.

The Juniper VPN is a SSL-based VPN solution whereas the native client supports L2TP and PPTP only - in other words they're completely different beasts.
That said, you shouldn't have any issue connecting to the SSL-VPN. I do it almost daily. You may need to be running the latest (or at least, recent) software on the Juniper box, though - earlier versions of the Juniper software had problems.

Has anyone had success using SharePoint and FrameMaker 10 together using CMS?

Has anyone had success using SharePoint and FrameMaker 10 together using CMS?

Thanks for reminding to at least update the results thus far.
Update 4:
I did get quite a bit of support initially although slowly over a period of a month or so. After Adobe FM support and my SharePoint systems engineer reviewed how FM10 was setup on my computer (which I am the admin for our department’s SP site) and how it interfaces with our SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition, there was two conclusions:
Basically Adobe FM Support said that FM10 did not support claims-based authentication and they can no longer help me. They said it will work with FM11 when it comes out.
My SP Systems Engineer, said that FM10 is connecting to SP 2010 just fine but that the FM10 has a software glitch that causes FM10 lose control when executing checkout procedure within FM10. I can checkout and edit that same file in SP with no problems.
About a month later, I upgraded to FM11 and ran into the same problem. I attempted to get Adobe FM Support to help and they said they will look into and get back to me. That was in July and I have not heard anything more from them, and to be honest, my schedule has been extremely busy the last 5 months that I have not had time to pursue it any further.
Needless to say, I was very disappointed with the SP interface and, overall, the lackluster support I received from Adobe. Having a working SP interface was one of the criteria for purchasing TCS3.5 (and subsequent upgrade) in the first place.
One thing of note, we migrated from SP 2007 to SP 2010 in February 2011 and, at the time of Adobe support, I still had access to my SP 2007 site. FM10 and FM11 had to no issues working with SP2007. Unfortunately, SP 2007 is not an option for me anymore.
Also, another observation of FM10/11 not working with SP 2010, it seems that FM10/11 is automatically configured to work with SharePoint Drafts folder locally when connecting to the SharePoint library. This worked just fine with SP 2007 but SP 2010 does not use SharePoint Drafts folder locally the same way (the programming changed, don’t recall where I saw it, probably when searching this issue online) and I suspect that is one of the main issues why it does not work correctly.
So at this time, I have not found a working solution to this problem.

Anyone has successfully converted Real Video to iPod format in Macintosh?

What sustain pedal - exact make, model, type (momentary) is anyone using successfully on their controller? (I'm using m-audio)

what sustain pedal - exact make, model, type (momentary?) is anyone using successfully on their keyboard
? (I'm using m-audio controller)

I took an old Guitar cable, snipped off one plug, connected strand one to a metal plate and strand two to the metal part of a weighted lever. Plug it into the sustain port of my midikeybs. Press the lever onto the metal plate: sustain on. Let go: sustain off.
Even simpler: take a cable with a (mono) plug at on end and the naked two strands (mantel & core) on the other side. If you connect the two strands: sustain! if you disconnect the strands: sustain off.
What I am trying to say is: a sustain pedal is as simple as a doorbel button: on or off. So all that "the maker" can provide is "built quality", but really, any improvised simple momentary contact switch will do. In other words: there's really NO electronics to it, and if it is sold as a MIDI sustain pedal, it 'll work. But a doorbell button connected to jack cable will also work, so make and model (for a pure sustain-only pedal) are irrelevant.

Has anyone ever SUCCESSFULLY gotten iTunes to back up library to disc?

I've tried numerous times over different versions of iTunes, and I can NEVER get iTunes to back up my purchased library to disc.
It offers to do it to DVD, to regular CD--- and nothing works. It spits the tray out, says to put in a blank CD and I do-- and it "checks Media" and never accomplishes anything. I'm starting to doubt the function even works and was put in there to make it look good.
Has anyone ever successfully gotten the "Back Up Library to Disc" function to work?
im running the latest version of iTunes.

GOOD POINT. You cannot backup to an external hd. Who wants to use dvds OR cds for backup anyway? The whole reason for buying an ipod was to avoid these two optical disc nightmares and get with a hard disk management solution. itunes doesn't recognize external hard drives for backup. Ridiculous. Try using an ext hd as the itunes location for your music if you really want to see problems develop. Managing music instead of playing music has become my past time since I got into the ipod/ itunes mess. All I do is try to clean up it's messes. The software developers need to be accountable. Class action? No support, except forum, unless you want to pay.

Did anyone have success applying the invisible shield to their ipad?

Did anyone have success applying the Invisible Shield to their Ipad?

Yes. Make sure any iPad Cover that you have for it is removed first. Then, start at the bottom where the On/Off button is. Peel off only a small section of the bottom of the invisible layer and attached the small exposed sticky side to the bottom of the iPad.
Line it up as best as you can. Placing the edge of the iPad against a flat surface like a wall or backsplash on a kitchen counter can help you to keep the invisible sheet "square" with the iPad surface.
Was that a confusing answer?

Anyone has success with UFT or Vugen 11.5 on WDA via portal?

Hi, all
We are in the process of evaluating UFT 11.5 and/or Loadrunning 11.5 to do both functional and load testing for webdynrpo ABAP(WDA) via the SAP portal. So far, both tools failed miserably. Some of the issues I saw are:
1) Both tools cannot capture selection of radio button in the WDA properly
2) Both tools cannot capture cut/paste actions properly in the webdynpro app
3) Both tools cannot recognize mouse clicks accurately within the webdynpro. A lot of times it ignores the mouse click action altogether.
4) Both tools rely on myself using the tab to capture the fact that I am clicking in differnet input box within the WDA.
I am not sure if anyone has any success using these 2 tools. I know these tools have been around for a long time. Maybe I didn't use the tool properly as I am new to them. Please comment and share your experience?
Thanks,
Jonathan.

Thanks for your reply, Jansi. I am going through the UFT manual now. Are you aware of any SDN blog on UFT DP? How well does it work with WDA on the issues above? I found very little discussion on SDN regarding the UFT or Vugen on WDA testing.

Has anyone had success in getting Apple to correct Maps mistakes?

On multiple occasions I've submitted a correction using the function within Maps to report errors, but nothing is ever done. Has anyone ever had any success in getting Apple's attention and getting something fixed? Or is the submitting a correction feature just a black hole? I've had to tell friends with iPhones to always use Google Maps rather than Apple to navigate their way to my house because Maps has completely mislabeled the street outside my development. It sure would be nice if they had a human being you could call...
