Streaming large quality files for the internet?

I was watching an episode of Masterpiece theatre from their website yesterday, I have a imac 27 inch and the quality was good with no starts and stops. I uploaeded a video done in Imovie, exported it to quick time, the length of the video is about 2 and a half minutes, the file size is 72 megs, looked great but the video would start, stop and start again. I went back with the same video in imovie, exported it to quick time, this time using a different quality, the final size is 32 megs , plus or minus, It plays fine, but I know if I made it full screen it would not be that sharp. I forgot to mention that I watched the Masterpiece theatre at full screen on my imac
any hints?

Masterpiece theatre is not a progressive download. It's played off a streaming server and the media never leaves their machines. In progressive download the media will start playing as soon as the browser things it has enough to play back before the download runs out. This very seldom works properly unless you have an exceptionally fast connection. The only ways around this are to use a streaming server, which can also hiccup if the connection speed lags, or to have the media download fully before playback begins.

  • Safari shows "The network connection was lost" for all flv files on the internet.  Firefox plays all

    I upgraded to the lastest version of Flash to fix what I thought was a problem in Firefox.  That problem turned out to be something else but now Safari will not play ANY flash content.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.  I have even installed an older version.  All of these have the exact same result.  Flash works in Firefox but not in Safari.  I have cleared the cache.  I have gone into the flash securty settings and deleted all content.  Nothing seems to change this.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Plug-Ins are installedand keep in mindthis problem affects all 3 browsers i am using IE9, Safari5 & Firefox 19NOT a SPECIFIC browser issuewhich is why i think it's either "Flash" (Adobe) or streaming web-site (Freedocast) issue.

  • Exporting photos for the internet

    In the aperture preferences, what are the setting for exporting photos so they are web page friendly?  I know 72dpi, anything else I need to know?  Thanks

    I know 72dpi, anything else I need to know?
    For an internet page the dpi do not really matter, since a didgital image does not have physical dimensions. dpi are relevant when scanning printed photos or printing photos with a minimum resolution of points per inch.
    For uploading to the internet the pixelsize matters - the total number of pixels should be not larger than necessary for the page where you will displaying your photos. If the image box for your photos is 1024by1024 pixels, set the "size-to" in the export preset to "Fit within" 1024 pixels. And select Jpeg format with a modetate jpeg quality setting, not much higher than 8. It will depend on the amaount of fine details in your photos and the contrast, how much you can lower the quality settings without making your image looking bad.
    You can change the settings for the jpeg quality in the Image export  presets drop down menu, when you select "Edit".

  • How can I download a file over the internet from a WebDAV server?

    I am trying to download a file over the internet from a WebDAV server. I've tried doing it with Datasocket as suggested in these articles,
    <a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/f3cc5f7e60a75cb2862567e700696abf?opendocument">Retrieving an Unformatted Text File via FTP or HTTP Using DataSocket</a>

    but all I get is error 1181 (protocol unrecognized by Datasocket).
    I know I have the URL correct, because I can put it into a web browser and it works fine - I can download the file manually.
    But I want to have a LabVIEW program do the download automatically.
    I have the internet toolkit, but don't have the foggiest clue how to use it, and am using LabVIEW 7.1
    I am a bit out of my depth here, so any advice welcome.
    Regards,
    Mark.

    MIG,
    What is the URL to the website? Is it an FTP site? The articles you referenced are for specific transfer protocols. If the stie you're trying to get to doesn't follow these protocols, then you'll get the error you're seeing. You may have to use ActiveX to control IE and download the files programmatically.

    --Quick Guide for flashing BIOS, provided by MSI--
    1. Create a MS-DOS boot diskette, then copy the the .exe and the bios file to the floppy disk. Both of these files can be found in the package you downloaded.
    2. Press "Delete" and go to BIOS setup while computer bootup.
    Check BIOS advanced features and see if BIOS flash write control is enabled
    (This option must be enabled. If you can not find this setting, it means the BIOS can be
    flashed.)
    3. Boot from MS-DOS boot diskette and get a:\> prompt.
    4. Type "", then press ENTER
    5. The flash program will then ask "Do you want to save BIOS?", please press "N" for no. The when you see Press 'Y' to program or 'N' to Exit, please press "Y" to continue.
    6. After flashing complete, remove floppy and reset the system .
    7. Press DELETE or F1 when prompted at first reboot after flashing.
    8. Load BIOS optimized defaults, then save settings and exits.
    Drivers & Needed Files:
    (Note: All these drivers are for Windows XP.)
    Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.40
    (Please use at your own risk, these are LEAKED drivers. Password for the .zip file is "ocworkbench rules". Also, you will need to rename the WinXP_2K folder in IDE to either WinXP or Win2K else the installer doesn't pick it up.) Thanks for the link Wonkanoby!
    *NEW* Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 5.03
    More leaked drivers? Seems some parts of the drivers are older and some are newer.
    1. Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Web Install) -or- Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Full Install)
    2. Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Web Install) -or- Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Full Install)
    3. Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.24
    4. AMD Athlon 64 Processor Driver Version 1.1.0.14
    5. Nvidia Video Card Driver Version 56.72 -or- Omega Nvidia Video Card Driver Version v1.5303
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard Nvidia drivers.)
    5. ATI Video Card Driver Version 4.7 -or- Omega ATI Video Card Driver Version 2.5.51
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard ATI drivers.)
    6. Onboard Sound Driver (Realtek AC'97 Audio Codec) Version A3.61
    It is HIGHLY reccomended that you install the drivers/needed files in the order listed above. Please note that there are two #5's because you either install one or the other depending on your video card, do not install both of them.
    You will come across a problem here though. You can't install the chipset drivers without installing the Windows service pack and DirectX first, but the Windows service pack and DirectX installs need the internet to download files and you won't have working internet until you install the chipset drivers. Here's what I did to get around this. Instead of downloading the web install versions of Windows service pack and DirectX, download the full version and and put them along with all the other drivers on a backup hard drive or burn them to a CD, this way you will have all the drivers you need when it's time to install them and none of them will require the internet to download files.
    Another note when installing drivers. Apparently the Nvidia chipset drivers also come with drivers for the onboard sound, but people seem to agree that the Realtek onboard sound drivers are better. When you are installing the Nvidia chipset drivers, just be sure to uncheck the box for sound drivers when it asks you which drivers you would like to install. Now you can safely install the Realtek drivers without any chance of conflicting sound drivers. Thanks for the tip Wonkanoby!

    The installer still reccomends to install it beforehand for full USB 2.0 functionality... I would have put what you said in there but I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.  
    oh.  IIRC the installer just says USB 2.0 will be fully functional after SP1 is installed.  So after you install SP1 you go into device manager and u click update driver and it will auto search and update the driver.
    Simplicity-wise, i guess its pretty much equal.  It might take less preparation to just copy DX9 full onto a CD and install that first, then nforce driver, then right away you have yoru internet connection.
    but i dunno.. i guess i will try it your way this time when my RMA"d board comes.
    i will be fomratting and doing a fresh install later on today and will let you know if i come across any problems

  • I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. I have tried to download the latest plugin but this doesn't work. Can anyone help?

    I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet using either Safari or Firefox. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. Can anyone help?

    Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
    When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • PDF files on the Internet won't open...thanks to new Adobe update?

    In my case, the problem occured only when I used Firefox.  I followed your advice in that regard and retried opening several pdf's that previously would not display.  All did display in 32-bit mode for FireFox.    Your statement that "We don't support Firefox in 64-bit mode."  and your self-description as "Emploee" lead me to think that you are an Adobe employee.  I'm new to all this, so sorry if my inference about who you are is wrong.  But if it is correct, then your advice would seem to be from-the-source-credible.  I hope that in the future, Adobe will support Firefox in 64-bit mode. 
    One question though:  If, as you state, Adobe does not support Safari 5.1 in 64-bit mode,  why haven't I had the same problem displaying pdf's with version 5.1.5 Safari?  Only guess I can make at that is that as of Safari 5.1.5 (vs. Safari 5.1), Adobe does support Safari in 64-bit mode.  Anyway, thank you!  And I hope that in my newness to all this, I haven't confused things too badly.

  • Efficient searching in a large XML file for specific elements

    Hi
    How can I search in a large XML file for a specific element efficiently (fast and memory savvy?) I have a large (approximately 32MB with about 140,000 main elements) XML file and I have to search through it for specific elements. What stable and production-ready open source tools are available for such tasks? I think PDOM is a solution but I can't find any well-known and stable implementations on the web.
    Thanks in advance,
    Behrang Saeedzadeh.

    The problem with DOM parsers is that the whole document needs to be parsed!
    So with large documents this uses up a lot of memory.
    I suggest you look at sometthing like a pull parser (Piccolo or MPX1) which is a fast parser that is program driven and not event driven like SAX. This has the advantage of not needing to remember your state between events.
    I have used Piccolo to extract events from large xml based log files.

    It should unzip if you double-cick.

    Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.
