Same files, two different play sequences

This is probably a stupid question, but I don't know DVD Studio that well.
The situation:
I have 8 separate video files.
They need to be able to be played individually (coming back to a menu at the end of each video), and to be played through completely (when a "play all" button is selected).
I want to reference the same files to keep the highest quality.
Help?

There is something called "end jump" or something (my version is in French, can't tell you for sure).
This is where you tell the DVD where to go when it's finished playing (example : go back to the menu, or jump to the next of your 8 tracks)
There is another thing called a story.
Here, you tell what chapters the DVD should read in an alternative order.
So maybe we can imagine that you have chapter markers almost at the end of each track.
You make 8 stories (that's the way it works) in which you drag the first chapter of each track (remember, the second chapter is only a few frames, it's almost at the end). So when a story plays, it only plays most of the trak.
Then you tell it what to do when it gets to the end of each story (made up of most of each track)
What you tell it, is to jump to the next story.
So this is your architecture :
Tracks 1 to 8 have chapter 1 and 2 (2 being almost at the end) and at the end of the track it jumps to the menu
Stories 1 to 8 which only contain chapter 1 from each track and who jump to the next story at the end.

How to configure a scenario which posts same file to different directories

How to configure a scenario which posts same file to different directories of a receiving system?
Consider an Idoc to file scenario where I have to post same file to two different directories but logical receiver system has to be same.

Hi,
You can try out like this: Using multiple receiver interfaces you can send it to multiple directories with the help of enhanced interface determination/conditions and with the help of multiple receiver communication channels.
Another option is to copy the file from one target directory into another directory with the help of Unix script by executing the same from the OS command level.
One more option is to create a Java Server Proxy and inside the proxy, you can write java code to FTP into different locations.
Hope this helps,

If column2 is same for two different column1 data

I have a table say XYZ like this
COLUMN1 COLUMN2
A     B
C     B
N     X
HJ     X
I want to print if column2 is same for two different column1 data
I want to print that rowids
Please help me in this

That's the same as I thought, but then I realised that this might result in some false positive rows.
What if column1 has also the same value for some of the rows in which column2 is the same?
If the following is your data set, what rowid's should be displayed?
row column1 column2
1        A       S
2        B       S
3        C       T
4        C       T
5        D       U
6        D       U
7        D       V

Can we send the same message two different recievers with sequence

Hi,
i am sending the same message to two different receviers without using BPM.
now i require to send with sequence.is it possible without BPM?

Hey
There are two options for this
First one is to use Wait step in BPM as other experts suggested.
Second one is a dirty way around,what you can do is send the second message to a dummy receiver first(may be a file on your XI server),then design one bypass scenario which will pick up the file after a specified time interval(give the poling interval you want).
i would go for BPM coz its pretty straight forward,but in case you want to avoid BPM then u can use the second approach
for bypass scenario,have a look at the following
How to send any data (even binary) through XI, without using the Integration Repository

Two machines saving the same file as different sizes?

My coworker and I both have the same version of Illustratir (CS6) and both use Lion on iMacs, but today noticed something weird. He saved a file similar to a file I had done before as both an eps and a pdf and his file size was more than twice what my file sizes usually are. I thought it was odd, so I copied everything from his file into a new file (same dimensions) and saved out an eps and pdf (default settings), and like I thought, my files were less than half the size of his.
Why would two machines be saving identical files at different sizes? Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing? Everything in the file is vector, if it matters. There's not even any editable text.

See the mechanism of saving here: http://superuser.com/questions/66825/what-is-the-difference-between-size-and-size-on-disk
The size of the "blocks" depends on the size of the disk and how it's been formatted.

Get Info sees different "Open With" for the same file on different computer

I've got a laptop (17") and a desktop, both with OSX 10.4.3. I had a disk problem with the laptop, but was able to get everything off the disk, reformat it, and put it all back. Everything's been working fine until today, when I tried to use the Equation Editor in Office. It wouldn't work. As I tried to chase down the problem, including reinstalling Office, I realized that my laptop was seeing certain Office files using GetInfo as "Open With" Netscape. I compared this with the settings on the desktop, and they were different. Different applications, different icons, even.
Then I noticed that when I have the CD in the laptop and do GetInfo on a file there, or even look at the icon, it's different from what appears when I look at the same file on the desktop. So it appears to be an OSX issue, not a Microsoft issue.
I've rebuilt permissions several times. I changed the OpenWith settings, but that didn't solve the problem. But I think it's because other Office files are being misread by the OS, too.
If anyone has a diagnosis (and hopefully, a cure), I'd really appreciate it.

Hi, Jim.
You wrote: " I realized that my laptop was seeing certain Office files using GetInfo as "Open With" Netscape."If you are seeing more than just Office documents displaying the incorrect default application, this could indicate a corrupted Launch Services cache or preferences on the affected Mac.
In associating documents with applications, Finder employs Launch Services. Launch Services employs several files to associate documents with applications and vice versa. When these files become corrupted, this can result in problems including:
- The wrong applications being launched when double-clicking a file.
- Multiple copies of a single application appearing in the Open With menu for a given document.
- Incorrect icons appearing on files, folders, or other objects.
The following steps will remove all of the files used by Launch Services. Be sure to read these instructions entirely, including the Notes, before proceeding.
1. Quit all running applications.
2. Trash the following two files in the Computer > Macintosh HD > Library > Caches folder:
- com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore
- com.apple.LaunchServices-014xxx.csstore
where xxx is the uid number for the affected account in the NetInfo database. Type your Admin password when prompted to authenticate the deletion of the first file. See Notes [1] and [2].
3. Trash the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file in your Home > Library > Preferences folder. See Note [3].
4. Restart your Mac.
5. Log in to your account.
6. Empty the Trash.
Do not empty the Trash until after you have restarted your Mac.
Notes:
[1] Step 2 will result in you being prompted to approve the launch of the application associated with a document the first time you double-click a document. These alerts are a result of the security feature in Mac OS X. The list of applications which you have previously approved are saved in the caches deleted in step 2.
[2] The first user account defined on your Mac is generally uid 501, the second uid 502, and so forth. For example, the second file ID for the first account would becom.apple.LaunchServices-014501.csstoreYou can find the uid number for any account as follows:1. Launch NetInfo Manager, which is in the Computer > Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
2. Select users in the middle column of the NetInfo Manager window.
3. Select the desired user account in the right column of NetInfo Manager.
4. The data for the selected user, including uid, is displayed in the lower pane of the NetInfo Manager window.[3] Step 3 will reset to default values all associations you have created between specific file types and applications. For example, if you set PDFs to open in Adobe Acrobat instead of Preview, they would now open in Preview again until the association of PDFs with Acrobat is reset. You may want to skip step 3 to see if the other steps resolve the problem. However, if skipping step 3 does not resolve the problem, running steps 1-6 again, including step 3, should resolve the problem.

Same file is different on different OS'es

Hallo,
I am having the following problem. I am reading a file (image, sound, whatever) with the code below, and depending if it runs on windows or different linux versions some bytes are always different when reading the very same file. I really don't know why. Has someone had a similiar problem and knows a solution? Please answer...
public void load(File file){
          try{
               this.fistream=new FileInputStream(file);
               this.distream=new DataInputStream(this.fistream);
          catch(FileNotFoundException ex){ex.printStackTrace();}
          catch(IOException ex){ex.printStackTrace();}
     public int nextChar(){
          try{
          if (distream.available()!=0)
                    return distream.read();
          catch(IOException ex){ex.printStackTrace();}
return -1;
Thanks a lot
Max

I'm doing following. I want to create a "random" byte sequence from an arbitrary file. This sequence should be same everytime it's created from the same file. But this isn't the case this way. Windows XP gives different results than for example mandrake linux. Everything that's already been said still holds.
So in essence this means, I don't need any binary data. What? This makes no sense. I have no idea what you're talking about here, but it seems to contradict everything you've said so far.
The name nextChar() was just a name. It shouldn't mean anything.No, it should clearly and concisely describe what the method does. Don't expect others to read your code if you can't make the effort to make it make sense.
But does the InputStream method in the code skip carriage-return and line-feed characters? No, it does not. The phrase "carriage-return and line-feed characters" is only meaningful when dealing with line-oriented text data. Read what we already said.

Same file name - Different extension - Viewing problem

I know this has been written about quite a bit and I have searched through the posts but I cannot find a solution to my problem. I shoot RAW, import then into Lightroom, make changes, import into CS3 & make more changes, save as a .psd file; no problem so far. I use Neat Image on some files that need the noise reduction so in CS3 I save the .psd as a .tif, run it through Neat Image and save it to the same directory where the RAW and .psd files are. Go back to Lightroom and no .tif file. If you "find" the file in Lightroom it shows up but shows as the .psd file. I have tried unstacking and everything else I can think of but I cannot make the .tif file display. I can go back to CS3 and locate the file through it but if in a few months or however long it takes me to forget that the .tif is there, the .tif will be lost in never never land. Bottom line, how do I get Lightroom to show ALL files, no matter name, extension, etc?
I am using Version 1.3.1 on Windows XP, 2Gigs ram, 3.4 Gig P4 processor

This issue was argued down to skeletal remains in beta and after. Adobe finally rlented somewhat and allowed the importation of files with same name and the RAW and jpeg extensions, because for one good reason some cameras produce both and some shooters utilize both for differring purposes.
Jao,
I will disagree with your reading of what is standard. That MS's stupid explorer or anything else won't show extensions is immaterial. First, anyone wanting to work at any speed and efficiency will be using something like Total Commander instead of Explorer, and it and virtually every other app I own shows extensions and treats files with the same name but differing extensions as unique files unto themselves--as it should be.
After all it is digital data in the file that is unique. The extension is a tag to tell you and the computor how to deal with that data. The content is not identical, and therefore it ought not be treated as if it were by any application.
Anyone with an interest in wasting several hours can trace the arduous wailing at the LR team to treat the extension as part of a unique name. As I said bdefore, they did make some concessions. Hopefully, they will go the whole distance soon.

Same coverlfow for different play lists on iphone.

Hey guys. So I have two different playlists on my iphone. I called one iphone and the other one iphoneAltRock. Everything synced well and I see the songs in each playlist correctly but when I rotate the iphone to show coverflow in iphoneAltRock it shows every album I have on my phone not just the ones in that playlist. Is this a bug or something? it would be nice to have coverflow just show the artists in that playlist.
Thanks for the help.
-m

Not a bug, just the way it's supposed to work.
Coverflow is just another way of viewing your library, not the playlist you are playing. It's similar to if you switched to library view in iTunes -- you don't see only the songs in a certain playlist in that view, but all your music.

HT4527 I would like to transfer music from iTunes on the same computer (two different users). Can I do that with home sharing? If so, how?

I see many discussion about transferring between two different computers but not one with just one computer. My husband and I use one Macbook, have two iTunes accounts and want to share some recently imported music.

many thanks.
Actually, Home Sharing should work in your situation, because iTunes for Mac supports Fast User Switching. (You're better off in this regard than us over here on the iTunes for Windows side.)
The basic trick is that iTunes has to be open in both user accounts at once. Set Home Sharing up in your husband's account. Now switch over to your account, launch iTunes and set up home sharing there. You should be able to see his library now. Transferring from his library is now as per the standard instructions for Home Sharing transfers.

Can you have 2 ipods on the same accounts with different play list?

Can I have 2 ipods on the same accounts with different plalists?

Sure. Each iPod is identified in iTunes with its own name and you configure each one as you wish:

Two hard drives with exact same files showing different sizes

I have two WD external drives, one which I'm trying to dedicate solely to Time Machine backups. In transferring data from the one I intend to use for that purpose to the other, I'm finding that all the files transferred but that the folders register as having different sizes (e.g. one video folder has the same number in each, but on the original disk it was 4.43 GB in total and is only 4.26 GB on the new disk).
I've read that there could be hidden system files that didn't move, but if that's the case does it matter? Both drives are the same model but are differently formatted.
Thanks

but are differently formatted.
That could be the cause. Files are not written to a disk in bytes, they are written in blocks that are a minimum size. For instance, if the minimum block size is 1KB, the a 5 byte file will occupy 1KB on the disk. So, depending on the block size of the drive format, you may get different results.

Premier CC doesn't seem to be the same on two different computers, and won't open my files

I have CC installed on a macbook pro, and just installed it on a new iMac, and both are using Premier CC, not Premier 6, but I can't open my project on the new iMac as it says that the project was created on a newer version and won't work. This iMac is newer than the macbook, so if anything I would think that the new one is newer. The one thing I notice though is that when I open the premier program, it opens with a different opening image than the premier CC on my laptop does. So I assume that means that I'm using a different version, but how would that be since I installed them both from CC the same way. Please help so I can get working on this project again. Thanks!

I'm having this issue also, except backwards. My new MacBook says Premiere CC is updated but it's not updated to the same version as my iMac. The MBP says its on version 8.1.0 and the iMac says 8.2.0. . . . I just installed CC on my new MBP, so this is confusing. You'd think it would be the latest version. . . Any help?

Creating same files on Different FTP Locations

Hi All,
My scenario is like this
IDOC which is coming from SAP has to be sent to two FTP locations (XYZ20082210.dat both same structures)...
Can any one please give me the best approach to handle this...
I know i can do this by creating in two ways
1) Using 1:N mapping
but this also i dont think the right approach as i need to duplicated the same Message Type and rename into 2 Message Type and use in the 1:N mapping.
2) creating 2 Message Mappings and two Interface mappings and two recievers ..
But this one XI processess the Mappings two times which is not good as we recieve multiple Idocs at a time...
Please suggest me a suitable approach for which way i can achieve by more Optmizing ...
Thanks and Regards,
sridhar reddy

Hi Sridhar,
If you want to work out this issue using OS command, then you configure your receiver file adapter to place the file in one folder say 'Source' . Let your two destinations be Target 1 and 2 in the network. Paste the below two lines in notepad, edit the path names and save as .bat extension.
xcopy D:\Source\.* "
NetworkPath\Target1"*
xcopy D:\Source\.* "
NetworkPath\Target2"*
If you receiver folders are in Windows network :
You should run the above mentioned bat file to copy your messages to the destination in network.
Note : XI can NOT execute a OS command/ shell script on the receiver FTP server. The OS Command for the file adapter only runs on the system in which the Adapter Framework is running.
If you receiver folders are in FTP Server :

Same file is different sizes on differently formatted external HDDs

First question: I have two external drives; one is formatted for MS-DOS File System (FAT32) and the other is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). When I copy a folder from the DOS drive to the OS X drive, the folder is a different size on the two drives. Is this normal? Is there any chance that some of the data is missing or corrupted? If it's normal. is there a way to calculate what the difference should be so I can feel comfortable erasing the DOS drive once I've transferred everything off it.
Second (sort-of related) question: if I don't care to use my external drive with a Windows PC, what is the BEST format for the drive? Why? If I do want to use the drive with a Windows PC, what is the best format? Why?
Thanks so much wonderful and helpful other Mac users!

Hello! The different file sizes are normal in my experience. If you want to use it with both MSDOS is the only way but if Mac only the Mac HFS+ JOurnaled is best. Tom
