Can anyone from Adobe comment? BDMV playback on BD-R(E) being stopped making Encore useless

I have read on a number of forums now that Sony are forcing BD set top manufacturers to disable playback of any BD-R or BD-RE discs with BDMV structure to stop piracy
this means that Encore CS3 Blu-ray export will be useless (the only reason some of us bought it!), as is other Blu-ray authoring software (I also own DVDit Pro HD).
Does anyone from Adobe have any comments about this?
apparently a newly launched Pioneer player had the function removed at the last moment, as did a new Sony player and the PS3 is expected to lose the abilty to play them in an upcoming firmware release

More interesting stuff I dug up on Blu-ray:
"Since playback of non encrypted BDMV discs is outside the Blu-ray specs, it remains to be seen whether Sony and Co. will undo that loophole by coming up with yet another Blu-ray profile that prohibits playback of unprotected BDMV discs, or if Fox and Co. revamped the BD+ spec to only allow decryption if the underlying disc has AACS encryption. Either way, at this point I wouldn't bet much money on this workaround being permanent, so you should heed Slysoft's advice about buying HD media and buy HD DVD over Blu-ray - it is the more consumer friendly format (not to be confused with a consumer friendly format) and the risk you incur of not being able to exercise your fair use rights in the future are greatly reduces if Blu-ray becomes the prevailing format."
If I read between the lines here, are they saying that non-encrypted BDMV discs will NOT play on Blu-ray players? If so, then that means all home-authored and non-mega-corporation-authored BDMV discs.
Anyone with some industry connections care to sort this out a bit?

Can anyone from SAP comment on this?

sorry for repeating myself but i tried several things but could not find what was wrong Someone suggested that this was a bug in previous releases but i have the latest one installed
<b>SBO 2004A (6.70.187) SP:00 PL14</b>

http://mx1.beautybase.com/share/master_2.jpg
I have a user defined table (i.e. Colours) connected to the Item Master Data Form (-150). This table is combo box on the form. Whenever I populate this combo I specify Code (i.e. 1) and Name (i.e. 15 ml) values. Now if my form in the search mode and I bring list of the items by using * for item number (Form 1003) I can see matrix with number of records but unfortunately column with sizes displays Code instead of Names. Please let me know whether it is possible to display Name value. The Display Descr. checked in the "choose from list" Form Settings..
what shell I do, any ideas?

still investigation this found that if i create Data Field by going Manage User Fields > Master Data> Items > Items > Some Field and use Set Valid for Field option with predefined values then i am able to switch between Code and Description, but if i use Set Linked Table option then the only Code appears whenever I use choose from list form under Item Master Data.
Pleeeeeeease HELP. SOS

Can anyone from SAP comment on this? Credit Note from AP Invoice

Hi all!
I'm creating a partial credit note from a Service AP invoice via DI.
My invoice has 2 lines, the first for 10.000, the second from 5.000 (no VAT to keep things simple) Tot = 15.000.
In the credit note I have the first line for 2.000 and the second for 1.000, Total = 3.000.
I set for the first line
CreditNote.Lines.BaseType = "18"
CreditNote.Lines.BaseEntry = 28
CreditNote.Lines.BaseLine = 0
CreditNote.Lines.Line Total = 2.000
and for the second
CreditNote.Lines.BaseType = "18"
CreditNote.Lines.BaseEntry = 28
CreditNote.Lines.BaseLine = 1
CreditNote.Lines.Line Total = 1.000
and for the CreditNote
CreditNote.DOcTotal = 3.000
Saving, I obtain a CreditNote with the first line for 10.000, the second for 5.000 and a total discount of 12.000, Total = 3.000. (same invoice amounts on the lines
and a discount to get the correct invoice total).
My question is: isn't there a way to obtain a credit note linked to the invoice but with line amounts different from the ones of the invoice (in my example: first line 2.000, second 1.000) and without discount?
in B1 you can do it!!!
I know that from a fiscal point of view the result is the same, but seeing credit notes in B1 different from the vendor documents is pretty upsetting for some customers ...
Thanks in advance,
francesca

Nevermind!
I solved the problem: even with DI you can create a partial Credit Note.

I have forwarded your request to the support team that should be able to resolve this issue for you quickly. Expect to hear from them shortly.

Anyone from Adobe care about customer service?

Want to buy CS6. Downloaded trial version but having issues with windows 7 home edition. Posted on Adobe Help Forums....no replies. Called Customer Service....was promised a call back; never received one. Considering moving to another product from an Adobe competitor. Anyone from Adobe reading these posts? Anyone from Adobe really care? Sad!

Hi and thanks for your comprehensive reply. I will try to answer all your questions. Just to back up a bit, I have tried many different things to get Audition 3.01 to work on my laptop. When I exhausetd all i could think of , I downloaded CS6 hoping that would give me better results. In the end, the two applications behaved exactly the same, ie inability to record in multi-track. Most of the tests I did, which I describe here were done on AA3.01. If they did not resolve the problem there, I am doubtful they are the cause of CS6 not working.
I have not tried playback only when selecting the TASCAM i/face. However, I can indeed select either the internal sound card on the laptop or the TASCAM in the HW Preferences. If I use the internal card, everything works except I cannot do multi-track recording of course. However, I can import a session and do everything with it. As for clock, I have tried toggling it between AUTOMATIC and INTERNAL in the TASCAM control panel, no difference (on AA3.01).I don't know if there is another place where this is controlled other than the TASCAM control panel. As for "device class" indeed I could only get CS6 to show the 16 channels of my TASCAM if I select ASIO. I did not check the "release ASIO in the background" box
In summary
1. AA3.01 Works well with an old PC runing windows XP 32 bit
2. AA3.01 installs and runs on a HP Pavillion laptop, i3 processor 8 Gig RAM, windows 7 HOME EDITION 64bit. If using the internal sound card, I could use AA3.01 for everything except multi-track recording
3. On the HP laptop, I can switch between internal card and TASCAM in HW preferences. I can arm one or up to 14 channels for recording. As soon as I hit record, about 1 sec of lead is highlighted in the tracks that are armed, but then everything stops. No crashing, no errors. If I delete the tracks I can continue working on other things.
4. After exhausting everything I could, I installed Audition CS6 on the same HP laptop. Exactly the same issues with recording appear.
5. I installed Audition CS6 on another laptop, a IBM Lenovo, i5 4Gig RAM windows 64 bit Professional. Absolutely no issues and everything works fine. Problem is, the Lenovo is a work laptop otherwise I would just use that and forget the rest
I will check about the playback when I get back from the office. However if memory serves me right, I believe I was able to use EDIT mode and still playback WAV files. Will confirm that later tonight
thanks
Tony

Does anyone from Adobe monitor this forum? Do they even care about this program?

I've clicked on many of the questions here as I try to learn how to use Story, but I have yet to see any responses from anyone at Adobe. It seems like they treat Story like an afterthought and don't care about its users. My frustration has grown more and more to the point now where I'm not going to use it any more, at least not until they add some basic functionality that is badly needed but missing. The tutorial section on Adobe TV, in one word, sucks. Badly. It's too bad, Story has some real potential, but Adobe has dropped the ball on it.

I monitor this forum, as well as, Adobe Story quality engineers and other staff. I often see responses from the quality engineers. If you post specifics, we can try to help.

Have you filed any feature requests? Here's the link: http://adobe.ly/feature_request
That's the best way to communicate with the team.

Feel free to create a separate post with suggestions on tutorials you'd like to see.

Adobe Flash CS6 corrupted the .fla file that I made. Can someone from Adobe support recover my file?

I work on a brandnew Macbook pro with lot's of HD and memory, Yosemite version.
I bought Flash CS6 for 700 dollars. It hangs, it unexpectedly quits, but worse, it corrupts the file i have been working on for an entire day. It makes it 981kb and then says it fails to open it.
I want to know where can I get some customer service from Adobe. I paid for this software and I want to be able to send a ticket to the the support so they can figure out what went wrong and if they can recover my file. The file didn't even have 70 frames yet. But each frame had a drawings with pencil that are very detailed. So hence my frustration

1. periodically save your fla file with an appended version number so that never happens to you again. eg, yourproject_01.fla, yourproject_02.fla etc. that policy (saving frequently with appended version numbers) is a good idea with all software, adobe or otherwise.
2. to prevent future crashes/hangs, reset your flash pro preferences, Re-create preferences.
3. don't force the termination of a flash save unless you have little to lose. you should allow, at least, 2 minutes or you're likely to corrupt your fla by doing that.
4. you may be able to recover your fla by renaming it to a rar and using winrar to repair it. that's a long shot but occasionally works.
5. adobe support's not likely to offer you much help, but if you want to try contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Can anyone at Adobe write in clear English?

The introductory page for Spry says: "The Spry framework for
Ajax is a JavaScript library for web designers that provides
functionality that allows designers to build pages that provide a
richer experience for their users. It is designed to bring Ajax to
the web design community who can benefit from Ajax, but are not
well served by other frameworks." And on and on.
Ouch. Tedious, grammatically wrong and full of hackneyed
jargon.
Better: The Spry framework for Ajax is a JavaScript library
that helps designers build better web pages. It provides easy
access to the advantages of Ajax.
If a company can't communicate in the lingua franca, how can
it write good code?

If you don't like adobe, then leave. Nobody is forcing you to
use spry, and above all it's free.
You obviously have personal issues with adobe, because not
many people would notice or, for that matter, care about the minor
grammatical errors in their blurb.
quote:
If a company can't communicate in the lingua franca, how can

lol. Sad. I almost pity you. You and I both know that a
person's english skills are absolutely irrelevant to their
programming.
Nobody wants you and your hating here. It's supposed to be a
civilised community where we can all help each other out, not rant
about how you hate adobe. Go spam the dojo forums, if they have
any.

Does anyone from Adobe ever come here?

With the number of posts with ZERO replies here, it seems
pretty obvious that no one from Adobe ever comes to this forum.
Which is something very wrong, considering it's such an expensive
piece of software (my company payed $7500 for our FMIS 3 license).
I don't see this problem with smaller companies, such as Wowza,
where you feel the devs are actually reading and answering peoples
questions.
Seriously, it wouldn't take much effort for a company big as
Adobe, to put a specialist to answer a few questions now and
then.

I have lots of questions, and I just placed one on another
thread.
But this is not about me. It's about everyone posting
questions here and having almost no replies from any experts on the
matter. A lot of these questions seem like very legitimate doubts,
which I'm sure a lots of people would like to see an answer to, and
which I'm also sure, an Adobe developer would be able to answer in
less then 30 seconds.

I just installed a new hp 8500 office jet. i can print from adobe, explorer, one note but not from a mozilla page.does anyone know how to fix this ? my 8500 worked just fine with mozilla

My printer is an HP 8600 OFFICE JET. I cannot print anything when using mozilla. when i'm using explorer and i go to yahoo or yahoo finance or any other website print my stock portfolios, email, etc. but i can't do that when i'm in mozilla.
I didn't have that problem with my HP OFFICE JET 8500.
HP support hasn't been able to resolve the issue.

Does that printer appear in the "Printer -> Name" drop-down and can you select it?
See the screenshot below ...

Why won't anyone from Adobe respond to my requests to activate my product?

I tried to activate my adobe Acrobat XI Pro on december 20th. Message said we will get back to you in two days> NOT ONE WORD FROM ANYONE SAYING ANYTHING.
I can't even get into chat with anyone. UNBELIEVABLY POOR SERVICE!

I have tried numerous time and many ways to contact these people and no one ever talks to me or responds to my requests. NOT GOOD SERVICE! I had submitted everything through the process and got NO RESPONSE whatsoever.
What is a person to think when they won't respond?
Why would a person spend the mnoney for service like this?

Does anyone from Adobe offer feedback and support for this product?

I'm a teacher at an elementary school and run our morning news show. Currently we're using rather old hardware to run the show through closed-circuit, but are in the process of getting what we need to run a software solution instead. When I watched the video for VC3, I liked what I saw. It was a major part of why we decided to go with a software solution. It seemed to have all the right pieces for what we need to do.
However, the more I read about it on this forum and around the net, it seems that support and instruction for this product is non-existent, and that the product itself can be buggy at times. This has me quite concerned. It looks like this program is a few years old now, and I can't find any recent updates or news about it. Before I make the purchase, is this a program that Adobe even supports anymore? Is there anyone here at Adobe or elsewhere in the know that can/will provide guidance and troubleshooting if needed?
If not, does anyone here have any other products that they have experience with that might provide a better alternative? We're still looking to run this as a live show through a closed-circuit, although we could prerecord the show and stream it if necessary, but the turnaround time would need to be quick.
Any thoughts?

There is an entire community of Visual Communicator users at http://TeachMeVC.com where you can browse topics and ask questions if you become a member (free).
Nobody bothers to monitor the forums on the Adobe site for this product so we encourage you to join us at TeachMeVC.com and subscribe to stay in the loop. You will find users that span from the education, business, government and personal users of Adobe Visual Communicator.
Also consider my training DVD series and equipment recommendations that have been used by thousands of VC users over the years. There is NO competing product that gives you live greenscreen capability, teleprompter, easy workflow, wizards, and a ton of included media content. At this point in time, Adobe Visual Communicator is a unique product in it's class! The next comparable option is to spend $8,000 to $10,000 on a NewTek Tricaster that has a huge learning curve.

Can someone from Adobe please explain why measurements in CS6 are not accurate..PLEASE?

I'm tired of wasting my time looking for reasons why measurements I key in are constantly changed to some arbitary number decided by Illustrator. I'm currently working on a 100mm x 100mm box with a corresponding grid and yet for some reason my measurements get changed to 100.238mm or 99.834mm or similar... I just wasted another 10 minutes trying to work out how to ask someone this question...am I the only one experiencing this...NO! Any answers Adobe, please?

The above answers are absolutely correct, because it was obvious @Brayhill had Pixel-Snap turned on.
Specifically for print work, where keying in values may sometimes not show correctly* in the Control Bar at the top, there is another little hidden setting in Preferences -> General -> Use Preview Bounds.
If you are doing millimeter perfect templates for example, and want the total to show for example 100 x 100mm, regardless of the stroke weight asigned, just uncheck the Preview Bounds box in Preferences.
*Checked will always add your stroke width (as well as some other effects) to the total shown in the Control Bar. This can also be very useful at times, say when you need to fit an entire group with strokes and effects within 100x100mm, like an advertisement.

Can't Print Book from iPhoto or Preview, but Can Print from Adobe Accrobat

I have spent 2.5 hours on the phone with HP, an am now unsure if the problem is with HP or Apple.
When I try to print a single page from an iPhoto Book (or a group of pages), I receive an error message on the HP 4650 printer (49.4C02). I saved the book as a PDF and tried to print from Preview with the same results. I then opened the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat and WAS able to print. I am able to print individual photos from iPhoto.
I searched this discussion board for problems printing to the HP 4650. One suggestion was to use the driver for the HP 4600. I tired that and it produced the same error on the printer.
Using Adobe Acrobat is a viable work-a-round, but I am curious why I cannot print a book from iPhoto. Any thoughts as to why Adobe Acrobat works and iPhoto and Preview do not?
Thanks,
-Dale

Can anyone from Nokia please answer why Nokia Lumi...

Hi, I've just learned about the full specifications of Nokia Lumia 820 and I've come to like it more than 920. What's bothering me is why it will not be having gorilla glass, just like its predecessor, Nokia Lumia 800.
Does Nokia have any surprises for its customers regarding this matter? Does Nokia Lumia 820 have some Gorilla Glass substitute that could also protect the phone's screen? Yes, there will be ruggedized shells, but they can only offer protection to the back of the phone from how I saw it in the images.
Well, it's just disappointing. I already got so hyped up about getting either Nokia Lumia 820 or 920 but both have major disadvantages. 820 does not have gorilla glass which makes it very prone to physical damages (unless Nokia has something up its sleeve), while 920 does not have a microSD and a user-changeable battery.
It would be nice if Nokia could give us some reassurance that the durability of 820 will not be defeated by its predecessor, because it would be lame if that would be the case.
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
As some have already stated, the screen of the Lumia 820 is made from a scratch-resistant safety glass, but in this case not Corning(TM) Gorilla Glass(TM).
Like all Nokia phones, this model has gone through extensive hardware testing before going to market, including tests to simulate the normal wear and tear of daily life, so the choice of glass used for the screen should not discourage you from buying this model if it otherwise meets your needs.
If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.
