16:9 Inconsistent Between TV and Computer

I have a movie which has been edited on a very small budget for a charity of which I am a trustee. It is in 16:9 PAL in Final Cut Express 3.5.
I exported it as a referenced Quicktime movie (not using QT conversion).
I created an iDVD project in 16:9.
The movie appears in iDVD squashed to 4:3. But the resultant DVD plays on a TV through a DVD player correctly; however, on a computer using DVD player software it plays squashed, just as it does in iDVD.
So, back to the internet. I found this post on this forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2163719&tstart=45
and a couple of others, where SDMacuser linked to a workflow which uses Quicktime Pro. Since I don't have Quicktime Pro I tried the Anamorphicizer download he also linked to and re-built the iDVD project.
The movie now appears correct in iDVD, and the resulting DVD plays correctly on a computer. But it is stretched horizontally when viewed on a TV.
Since the DVD is for a restricted distribution to people who may use either means of viewing it, it needs to work both on a computer and on a TV/DVD player.
a) if I export the movie as a self-contained Quicktime movie before importing it to iDVD will this overcome the problem?
b) If I invest in QT Pro will this do it?
c) Or do I need a more professional DVD authoring programme?
d) A final workaround would be to add a top-level menu in iDVD with separate (identical) sub-menus for computer and TV, but this would look unprofessional (the movie is only 30 mins so the two versions would fit on a single DVD).
I'm sure there must be a way around the problem - it doesn't happen on consumer DVDs, they play on both platforms.
I have to say that I find it amazing that Apple haven't thought to make their own pieces of software mutually compatible in this respect. I'm also amazed that I haven't been able to find an answer on the Internet.

SDMacUser
Thank you for the rapid response!
Unfortunately we don't have a budget for fully pro applications, unless/until we can find a backer for a longer video project.
This seems like such a small problem. Is there anyone who understands the structure behind how the anamorphic/16:9/4:3 settings are stored? Presumably it is just a matter of a tag in the file headers?
I come from a stills/Photoshop/Lightroom background, where we are able to manipulate the metadata associated with files directly, using a couple of fairly techhie applications, so it seems odd that there is no way of 'tinkering under the hood (or bonnet, as we say here in the UK!)' to tweak the settings.
It seems as though there are at least two flags that need to be set, and they have become out of sync - though why Apple should choose to use different flags in different apps - from the same software developer, which is supposed to be 'the' media developer! - with no straightforward way to synchronise them, is very strange.
I've not used Apple's technical support for FCE or iDVD. Is there any chance they might be able to help?
By the way, I also purchased the Snow Leopard upgrade, but I haven't installed it yet because I noted that one poster here found that anamorphicizer doesn't work under SL - is this still so?

Inconsistency between tbtco and tbtcs

Hello guys,
we have a big problem after our HWU upgrade.
We have copied the content of tbtco into a new table tbtco_copy before the upgrade to save all the job entries.
After this we have deleted the contant of tbtco. So we had no scheduled jobs for the HWU
After the HWU we have copied back the content of tbtco_copy into tbtco.
But now we have a inconsistency between tbtco and tbtcs. This means that all planed and released jobs are not starting (delay goes up).
How we can start this jobs << Removed >>

I have No connection between iPhone and computer. Please help me. My iPhone (4s) went nuts a little while ago. Nothing happend when I connected the charger. I had to take out and put it back in again and again and again, between 2-10 times before the charger finally was connected. It's been like this for a while now and a did'nt really have that mutch problem with it. Until today when I tried to sync/backup/restore the whole phone. It started to sync but stoped at the sync of the 5:th app. tried to start over but now my computer can't "find" the phone. It says that the USB-device is not reconizeble.
Please help me.

Internet sharing between cellphone and computer us...

I have watched some videos in youtube about internet sharing between cellphones and computer using "BLUETOOTH"... How do they do that? How can we do this? Anybody here can share to us how to do this??

You are wrong
Most Nokia phones with a bluetooth interface can let you connect your computer to the Internet using your phone as a modem connected by bluetooth. So, BT definitely can support the data stream.
Enabling a computer to use the phone's Internet connection over BT or via USB cable is possible with no additional software on the phone. Doing the opposite, allowing the phone to use the computer's Internet connection via BT, requires additional software. GNUBox does just that.

Inconsistency between ATP and ASCP

Thanks for looking at this message. Bit lengthy but will be interesting :-)
In our implementation we use ATP based on planning output and its a constrained ASCP plan (ECC) .
Assuming that sale sorders are available in the system and they have been entered say last month/ or even few months before with request date as the sale order entry date . We did nt have onhand at the time due to which the promise dates have been Sep-09.
Assume that we have made a receipt from supplier/or there is PO in receiving (considered as available date of today by ATP) . In this situation in case a new sales order is entered today with request date of today provided the onhand or expected receipt today is more than sales order qty , the promise date upon sales order entry is today. We do OM loopback and send back sch ship date from ASCP which gives correct dates (Sep or Oct based on lead times). But issue is in the promise date .
Issue 1: customer is questioning while there are so many existing sales orders which are already in arrears and their request dates are all in past months why does a new sales order get a promise date of today?
When ASCP runs overnight it plans based on request date and the onhand/exp receipt is pegged to earliest sales order and not the new one put in today(which is fine and as expected) , but due to the mismatch between ATP and ASCP always there is going to be mismatch in meeting promise date and Sales performance measures go for a task.
Also there all the customers are sent Order Acknowledgement (emailed upon booking order) based on the wrong promise date which causes lot of issues in explaining to each customer.
Issue 2:lets say onhand is 2 and there are 2 sales order lines one for qty 8 (req date 21-jul) and other for qty 2 (req date 23-jul) . I schedule order line 8 (req date 21-jul) first then ATP promises line after LT (say Sep-09) and the qty 2 line is promised today but when ASCP is scheduling it has ability to see request date due to which it can peg 2 onhand to earlier request date and then wait for new supply till Sep-09. The one with later request date will show ship date in Sep-09.
Have attached the screen shots explaining the issue 1 and 2
Best regards
Vinay

Hi Vinayak
Both of your observations are correct. As I managed ATP development for several years, let me help explain these things to you:
1. For 1st issue, where a new incoming sales order can get better date than earlier promised sales order, please understand that ATP is based on supply/demand picture at a point in time when SO was originally processed. If supply/demand picture has changed significantly, you need to use a tool like Oracle Backlog WB to manage and re-process currently scheduled SO to re-assess where they should be promised. Once Sales Order is promised, ATP uses schedule ship date to see when material is needed and uses a supply closes to ship date (JIT). If earlier supplies are available, they're up for grabs by new SO.
Thus, the behavior is working as designed and you need to develop your business process to ensure that backlog management is practiced on a regular basis to avoid such issues.
2. For 2nd issue where you see that ATP isn't using supply to satisfy smaller qty sales order, please understand that ATP is "First-come-First-Serve" and it is working on 1 specific order at a time. When initial order of qty=8 came in, it had no way to know what lies in future or if another SO with qty=2 will come later. Compare this with ASCP which is working a complete set of supplies and demands and can analyze this picture in totality.
I'm sure you'll like your ATP request to come back in few seconds (or may be a min or so) and not take a few hours while you enjoy the hourglass on your screen. No surprise that ASCP plan run takes few hours since it needs to go thru such hoops and try to optimize across these ideas while ATP is a quick answer as what can be done for this in-coming demand considering everything else in the system is frozen.
Please note ATP and ASCP plan serve very different purpose and business process needs to be enahnced to take advantage of best of both these tools.
Please feel free to contact me directly for any further issues in this respect.

Differences between iOS and computer views of a course?

So this year not all of my students will have iPads so anything in my course has to be accessable via a computer/itunes connection. I have created my course, completed the profile, written my outline and started adding "materials" and posts. The course has been published and shows up under our school.
Any .pdf's I add to documents/materials or post as an assignment show up on both the ios devices and computers/itunes/itunesu.
Any .jpgs I add to materials/images or post as an assignment show up on the ios device but show as "ios only" on the computer/itunes/itunes u view.
When I "Add Post" then add to the "Message" field, it is pushed to the ios devices and shows up as a message, it shows up under the course on the ios devices but never shows up on the computer/itunes feed.
Is there a list of what you can put into your course that will show up on both ios devices and computer/itunes connections? Will .mp3's, .mp4's work? or will they do the same as .jpg's?

Hi,
I just posted a response to another question regarding iTunes U on a PC or Mac. Although it doesn't completely answer your question, this part of the response from Course Manager Support does address it:
If you were to make a publicly available Collection on iTunes U, students could download or view many course materials such as lectures and podcasts. But to maximize the full functionality of a course, such as subscribing, reading posts, and viewing assignments, the iTunes U app on an iOS device is currently a requirement.
It may be worth it to ask support to see if there is a more comprehensive list of the differences. Please post what you find out here.
Thanks,
Ken

Interface to go between mixer and computer.

I'm looking for something to hook up between my mixer and my computer so I can record at least 2 separate tracks at one time in GB.
Anyone have an idea of what I'm looking for?
PB G4 Ti Mac OS X (10.4.6)

If all you want is 2 tracks at once, then the mixer will do that as described, or a 2 channel interface will do that ALONE, and the mixer wouldn't be needed. I see no reason to connect the mixer to an interface to get 2 separate tracks. Using the mixer in this way WOULD be desirable if you were wanting to get a stereo mix of a drum kit, for example. Then you could pan the drums where you like and have 2 tracks of the drums in stereo, but that doesn't sound like what you are saying. If you simple want 2 separate tracks, then either will do fine. Both are not necessary.

Difference between dbms_stats and COMPUTE STATISTICS

Hello everyone,
Can anyone tell me what is the difference between:
dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(
    ownname => 'me',
    tabname => 'ORGANISATIONS',
    estimate_percent => dbms_stats.auto_sample_size
);and
ANALYZE TABLE ORGANISATIONS COMPUTE STATISTICS;I guess both method are valid to compute statistics, but when I run the first method, the num_rows in USER_TABLES is wrong.
But when I execute the second method, I get the correct num_rows.
So, what is exactly the difference and which one is best?
Thanks,

Hello,
It's not recommended to use ANALYZE statement to collect Optimizer statistics. So you should use DBMS_STATS.
Else, about the number of rows, as you used an Estimate method, you may have a number of row which is not accurate.
What is the result if you choose this:
estimate_percent => NULL
NB: Here, NULL means COMPUTE.
You may have more detail on the following link:

Transferr of songs between ipod and computer

Recently reformatted computer's hard drive, restored Itunes library with no problem. But when I connect ipod, get message that certain songs are in protected wma format and cannot be trandfered. i understand the protective format scenario, but don't understand that if they are in my library why they can't be transferred to the ipod or vice versa. Any suggestions?

iPod cannot play protected wma songs so iTunes will not put them onto it.
iTunes can handle more file types than the iPod itself for various reasons.

Does syncing using the music tab a 2 way street between device and computer?

So i went through my music and added ratings to it on my comjputer. i synced my ipod with auto sync and everything transfered over fine. then i accidently added a folder to my itunes library i didnt want and rather then sift through the library and remove the songs added from that folder (since it wasnt my music) i decided to erase the entire library and just re add the folder withonly my music. i thought the ratings would still be there, but they wre all gone. all that work. even my playlists were gone. i mean, they were still there, but no music was in them. even after i re added the same music that once was once there, the playlist didnt auto populate themselves. lets just say i messed everything up, and since my ipod was on auto sync, i knew the next time i plugged it in it would erae all the ratings and playlists. so i used a program called iexplorer and it let me copy all my music back to itunes and i got most of my ratings back (not the playlist though because my computer crashed while the playlists were being populated and totally forgot about itunes and auto sync, so when i opened ituens, my ipod started syncing and basically it synced the new un orginized library with no playlist and most of the star ratings. For some reason not all the songs had the ratings, but most did. so i cant complain cuz i at least got lucky. ok, now onto the question. i dont want to go through my library again and re do everything, so im going to do it slowly through the ipod while im in transit. my question is, when i update playlist and rate music on the ipod, wheni plug it into ituens, will the ratings and playlist i made on the ipod transfer over? i know this was quite the long post for such a simple question, but i just wanted to share my bumble headed story of how i nuked my library.

The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

Splash Screen Inconsistent between CLI and JAR specification

Unlike just about any other java API, the SplashScreen API treats jar-launched and command-line-launched invocations of the same code differently
According to [the Splash Screen Tutorial|http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/misc/splashscreen.html]
a command-line invocation of a Splash Screen application would take the form
java -splash:images/splash.gif SplashDemo
whereas a jar-invocation would allow the splash screen to be specified in the jar manifest with the notation
SplashScreen-Image: images/splash.gif
This doesn't APPEAR to be inconsistent but the implementation is in fact not consistent.
In the jar-manifest approach the splash screen image is searched relative to the classpath implied by the JAR whereas the command-line version is searched relative to the current working directory. The documentation fails to explain this leading to lots of headscratching when, for example, a Splash Screen works right in a runnable jar but not from an IDE such as Eclipse. If, instead, the image was loaded relative to the classpath (getResource()) then the jar and the command line would work the same.
At the very least, there should be an additional command line switch supporting this classpath-based loading functionality from the command line or failing that, better documentation of what is going on. Neither the tutorial nor the javadoc explains the CLI syntax sufficiently. I spent several hours of headscratching trying to understand this and I'm by no means a newbie.

The only thing I can wonder is: why do you want command line invocation at all?Simple. In the field, I only want jar invocation. In development, I want invocation in Eclipse - which, under the covers uses command-line invocation.Good point, but then I wonder why you care that the splash screen works or doesn't work in Eclipse. As long as it works in the field. In fact, I would probably build in a way to disable the splash screen when running from the IDE myself - apparently it isn't even needed to do any work to make that happen ;)

Complaining about documentation here isn't going to do you much good.There's lots of confusion about this on the internet. Just google it. I didn't find anything that gave me the answer, just references to Oracle's documentation which doesn't answer the confusion. That's now been remedied, though, by me:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6906267/debug-splashscreen-from-eclipse-without-generating-the-jar/8087881#8087881
I thank you for your contribution. It is exactly this personal effort that keeps the Java community going...

Oracle really should do something about this.... because Oracle certainly will not. Again: complaining in this forum does nothing. Because like StackOverflow this is a user to user forum, not an Oracle tech support site. It won't be read and it won't end up on a todo list. Sad but true.

Inconsistancy between CRMD_ORDER and ICWebClient in search help

In this ICWCShowF4Help - Doco I asked about calling a search help from the ICWebClient. I now have that working but there is an inconsistancy about how it is working in from CRMD_ORDER and from the Web Client.
The search help is the one associated with field CRMT_PRIL_QUERY_ICWEB_MAIN-CATEGORY_ID ie search help CRM_PROD_CATEGORY
This produces a list of product categories with texts from CRMD_ORDER. Inside the Web Client the same search help is omitting the texts and they cannot be searched.
Does anyone have any clues, notes or ideas about this behaviour?
Any ideas or pointers will be gratefully received and rewarded.
Kind regards,
Nigel James

Step:1
In the View just add the code for a search help,for example

<!fieldname by the actual structure and field name created in se11.>
                             <crmic:inputField id = "ID"
                          maxlength = "40"
                          width     = "100%"
                          value     = "<%= Variablename %>"
                          showHelp = "FALSE"
                          onValueHelp =
"ICWCShowF4Help(<%= mpage_context->m_page_id %>_FieldName,<%= mpage_context->m_page_id %>_MaterialText,'StructureName-FieldName','','<%= mpage_context->m_page_id %>')"
                          disabled = "TRUE"
                          />
Step:2
Go to se11 create a structure with the respective field and attach the search help to that field and appropriately check exp imp in the field.The important thing here is that the secondary search help should not be used here.I suggest rather define a view and use it in the structure.
thanks,

No 2 way connection between printer and computer HELP HELP going nuts!!!

On the hp website in downloads for hp officejet 6500 series for windows 7 is "additional information' for installing that particular printer for that windows 7, now under "printer setup not complete" it says how to bypass the problem I have though those comands obviously don't work with my windows xp so can someone translate those commands for windows xp so i could try and fix my problem (hope that all makes sense) Also a few questions, the network is setup and passed so should i need to change any ports or does the network setup do it itself? Do you have to have a separate printer icon for usb and wireless,(though i won't need usb when i get this sorted). And why does the hp solution centre no open it comes up with a file that cannot run how do i fix this? HELP
