2 part question, compression.time & quality annopening inQT

I have a 2 part question,
1.Does anyone know the difference in time and quality betwen HQ 90 Min. encode (4:3) and 90 Min. fastest encode?
2. I seem to be having problems opening my encoded files in Quick Time but they open fine in DVD SP. I would like to save a copy in Quick Time as well. How can I do this?
Thanks

Best is two pass 6.2, and the other is one pass.
What problems do you have opening the files?
Are you trying to open the m2v files?
Do you have the MPEG2 playback component?
Thanks David,
The reason I asked about the diffrences in the encoding in Compressor is I am doing a job that I am half way throgh and thought I may save a bit of time encodeing usig 90 Min. fast encode as opposed to the High quality encode. IF there is not much quality difference and I may save time I'll use it.
I cannot open my compresspr file in QT (7.03) as everytime I try after a few seconds the computer says QT is not responding.
If you can help it's appreciated.
Thanks

BI Modeling Question - Load time, efficiency

Hi Experts,
This is a two-part question.
Scenario:
I have a Standard DSO- overwrite (DSO1) at accounting line item level which pushes data to another Standard DSO-overwrite (DSO2) at Monthly Level. This Monthly DSO pushes data to a cube for Monthly Open/ Cleared accounting document snapshot.
Which means, if I have an Open item today, my cube should have that in the past month, this month and all previous month snapshots as an open item.
1. Can I do the following with standard 0FI_AR_4 deltas?
When loading data from DSO1 to DSO2 for the first time INIT load, I replicate all records that are open today and put them in ALL previous months as snapshots. From then onwards, I just build a month's snapshot at a time by pushing all deltas as Summing Before and After Image for a record that has changed. And also, pushing all previous records from Changelog that have a record mode status N.
I am just talking conceptually here and dont know of the feasibility of accomplishing the above in ABAP.
2. We could just do a full load everyday replicating Open records less than the current date into all previous months' snapshots.
For both the above possible solutions, which one is the most feasible?
Am I missing out a totally different and more practical/efficient solution?
All inputs greatly appreciated!

In addition to the above post,
Please add to, correct or modify my pseudo logic below
When I go from DSO1 to Monthly DSO2, in the transformation, I write ABAP, where in I compare the Posting period with the current date and if less, I replicate the record to fall into all of the past 11 months (snapshot). This was for the first INIT load.
From the next load onwards (delta), we build snapshot for only the past two months, so in the Transformation, we write ABAP that looks into Changelog and updates all ' N ' images for the past two months. In addition, we also update the delta records to sum the before and after images for each period.
Is this logic correct? would it be too much to look up changelog everytime a delta happens??

Some question regarding time evaluation

Hello,
I have two questions regarding time evaluation:
1. Is it possible (if yes, how) to still include a employee in time evaluation even if this employee is inactive (status P0000-STAT2 = 0). We need this in order to calculate weeks of not working (this has to be calculated). I know that for payroll this is possible wih a setting in infotype 0003.
2. Is it possible (and how) to read data back from payroll into time. For example in payroll you export something to ZL table, can you then pick this up in time evaluation schema, as there is also ZL table. Or is there another way to do this?
Thanks for you answers,
Liesbeth

hi Schrage
Why you want to evaluate the time for inactive person.
If you want you can do.
Process :
First of all you have to group your employees. and sub groups.( for inactive emp)
Assign the employee sub group grouping for PCR in Basic Pay ( IMG ).
Then come to Time Evaluation Schema. Put the Day grouping nn nn nn nn in the Parameters. and run the time evaluation. You will get the output in DZL table.
For the above process you need to configure the T510S table.
Yes you can read the payroll into time.
the same concept will run in both of the modules.
the output should appear in the ZL table only.
Here the concept is.....Some companies, they will not use the payroll wage types. only they will use the time wage types.. these wage types has to be configure in the T510S. and we have to do the wage type copying from the part of time management only if they are not using the payroll. So either in Payroll or in Time management the evaluation of time willbe the same.

Video compression times

I am considering purchasing a Macbook Pro,
I'm a mobile user who also does a lot of video work (mostly compressing into many differenct formats and resolutions for each video.)
I would like to get some feedback from users about DV compression times using softwares like Final Cut Pro, and After Effects going using .h264 and going into formats like wmv and mov mainly.
Any info is appreciated, as this will be my ultimate deciding factor on what to buy.

There are 2 things, in particular, that you're doing 'wrong,' so to speak.
One is lowering the data rate. With h.264 compression, a lower data rate means your system has to work extra hard crunch the information down. Since the iPod/iPhone setting is multi-pass by default, that means more passes (and longer encoding times) for a 1100 kbps encode vs. a 1500 kbps encode.
Second, iPods & iPhones have a limited frame rate spectrum. I've not seen anything less than 23.98fps or more than 30fps work correctly.
As Michael mentioned already, exporting directly to Compressor takes a tremendous amount of time, about 4x to 6x as long as dropping in a QT movie into Compressor. It's sometimes worth it because the compression quality is superior, but you don't seem to have the luxury of time.
In terms of immediate solutions, if you simply need to get some compressed quick, use the default setting but uncheck the multi-pass box.
For a potentially more complete solution, please detail what your sequence settings (frame size, frame rate, etc) are in FCP and what frame size you're attempting to export to (iPhone @ 480px wide? or iPod at @ 640px wide). Or is your issue more about data rate? Do you need the 30 min file to be 25 MB, for example?

Photos in iOS 4.2 auto compressed/crap quality

I had this nice wallpaper i made that looks normal on every computer I placed it on and it looked normal under the previous iOS on my iPad when I had it as the wallpaper.
Its a simple grey background with white text and the center letter is Red, but for some reason the red letter looks compressed/low quality compared to the file sitting on my desktop, in iphoto and mail on the ipad.
no matter how many times i try to recreate the image the red letter looks crappy while the rest of the image looks okay but noticeably different/compressed or something.
does anyone know whats the reason for this? or how to change it?
it doesnt make sense, the image looked normal on the iPad prior to the update....

I have confirmed youre issue on my iPad with WiFi+3G using those images in your links.
the red looks completely loss of quality.
However that was with the JPGs but NOT with the PNG files you provided.
BUT not to mention the **** thumbnails in Photos have little grey dots and looke pixelated and bitmap-ish...w t f?!
They look like the color in the photos are some really bad 8-bit color.
View the screenshots below, note the comparison between the two SAME screenshots, one PNG and one JPG.

Ugh this is kind of annoying, the last iOS displayed everything in crystal clear quality.
Is this an indication that its meant for a higher resolution display or is it just a garbled iOS version for iPhone/iPod Touch devices?

Hello, I have two questions on time capsule I can only have it on my external hd files and free up my internal memory to my mac I can use an external hard drive, in my case a lacie rugged as shared memory for my two computers

Hello, I have two questions on time capsule I can only have it on my external hd files and free up my internal memory to my mac I can use an external hard drive, in my case a lacie rugged as shared memory for my two computers

I have a mackbook pro and an iMac if I buy a time capsule 2tb airport, I can use it with time machine and what would be the best way to use it.
There is no particular setup required for TM.. both computers will create their own backup sparsebundle which is like a virtual disk.. Pondini explains the whole thing if you read the reference I gave you.
and how to use time capsule airport whit other external hd to use my old lacie airport with the new time capsule
Up to you.. you can plug the external drive into the TC and enjoy really slow file transfers or you can plug it into your computer and use it as external drive.. which is faster than the TC.. and TM can include it in the backup.
Again everything is explained in the reference.. you are not reading it.

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

I'm using a new computer and to open one website I have to answer the security questions each time saying that the site doesn't recognize this computer.

Each time I try to open my "ubt" website, I get a message that says the site does not recognize this computer so I have to answer the security questions each time. I get the message "You are attempting to log in to your account from a computer that we do not recognize..." All other websites work just fine. The Mac store person could not figure it out. This site works on Safari, but I prefer Firefox.

Question on Time Capsule and external USB HDD

Hello everyone,
I have a 500GB Time Capsule that is working wonderfully. I recently have been downloading a number of large .iso image files that are taking up a lot of space on my internal drive on my Macbook Pro. I do not back these files up on the Time Capsule as it is getting full and i want it to backup other more important things.
I do however wish to backup these files. My current desk is rather full and really will not allow me to purchase a large 3.5" HDD and plug it in USB.
Is it possible to plug an external drive into the back of the Time Capsule and have it be used as a wireless disk as well?
I would prefer to have that drive not be part of the Time Capsule disks, i just want to be able to access it wireless over my network.
I would be grateful if anyone can help me out. If this solution will not work, is there some sort of NAS disk solution i can get to work with my TC?
Thanks

All you need is an external USB HDD. It needs to be formatted HFS+ (Mac OS Extended - Journaled), if you plan on a future Time Machine Disk on this drive, or FAT/FAT32. You could get a NAS, but you don't need to if you already have TC. Can I assume the USB port is free or do you have a USB printer hooked up to it?

Three Part Question involving OS 9.2.1 & OS 10.4 on Wallstreet Powerbook

Please forgive me if there is already a topic on this particular issue. I looked, but was unable to find one.
NOTE: It was suggested to me that I post this question here, in large part because of a particular member who is a Wallstreet expert. So... here's hoping. :D
Last year I decided to purchase a Sonnet G4 Upgrade Card for my G3 Wallstreet Powerbook. Due to a variety of resons I won't bore you with, I ended up putting this particular project on the shelf while I was busy with other things.
Things have slowed down a bit and I want to get back to this project. One of the requirements for this card is that I be running both OS9 & OSX. Therefore, I have to install both OS's.
I have the OS 9.2.1 disk that came with my purchase of 10.1 when it first came out and the OSX v 10.4 Tiger disk that I bought last year. (FWIW I also have the OS10.1 disk and the 8.5, 8.6 & 9.1 disks.)
Now that you have the background information, here's my problem: It's been too long since I've done this.
So here's the 3-Part question:
1. Do I install both on one partition that takes up the whole 8meg disk or do I make one partition for each OS?
2. Which OS disk do I use for formatting & partitioning?
3. Which OS do I install first?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Wallstreet Other OS

eric,
1) If your HD is 8 GB, I don't believe you want to partition. As you may already know, the Wallstreet has a limitation when it comes to any version of OSX. If the HD is larger than 8 GB, then the HD must be partitioned: The first partition must be less than 8 GB and this partition is used for OSX, but this does not preclude installing 9.x. As the article below states, an 8 GB HD may be slightly larger than 8 GB depending on how the manufacturer sized it. Apple uses 1024K=1 MB vs. a vendor that may use 1000K=1 MB. Having said that, if you boot to the OSX CD and the destination HD is grayed-out, you will have to partition the HD.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106235
The problem with partitioning a small drive like yours is the wasted space...too much for OSX and not enough for 9.x or vice versa. Since I don't know what apps and files you will be using for both OSes, it is just simpler to have one volume. Both OSes can work quite nicely on the same volume; this is how apple shipped all their new Macs.
2) Either 9.x's Drive Setup or 10.x's Disk Utility can properly initialize the HD: Use the MacOS Extended Format (HFS Extended); if using Disk Utility, be sure to check the option to install the MacOS 9 HD Driver; if using Drive Setup, it is installed automatically.
3) I would install 9.x first; make sure everything is up to snuff before installing 10.x. However, either OS can be installed first.
A few suggestions...
- Since you probably have the original 8 GB HD, I would boot to your 9.x CD > open Drive Setup in the Utilities folder on the CD > go to Initialization Options > select 'zero all data' > initialize (no partition and HFS Extended). This will thoroughly clean the HD and force sparing (reallocation) of any bad blocks. After zeroing, select Test Disk and make sure it is OK. I suggest using Drive Setup since it has the Test Disk function...Disk Utility does not. Once Drive Setup is launched, Drive Setup Help is available in the menu bar.
- Once the HD has been prepped, I would boot to your OSX CD and make sure the 8 GB limit does not affect you. If it does, you will have to think about a very small partition to get under the 8 GB limit or larger partitions for each OS. As long as you are booted to OSX, you can go ahead and install it if you wish.
- If you do install OSX first, to install 9.x you must boot to the 9.x CD and select Clean Install. Also, when installing any 9.x software, boot into 9.x first...do not install when running in Classic.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106294
- If you want to run your 9.1 as Classic when booted to 10.x, update it to 9.2.2; this will give you the best compatibility.
- The Wallstreet natively supports up to OSX 10.2.8, but 10.3.x and 10.4.x can run if you use XPostFacto.
http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/
- Since Tiger came on DVDs and not CDs (unless you used the CD-exchange program), you will not be able to install Tiger on the Wallstreet from your optical drive if you don't have a DVD-ROM drive. I installed Tiger on my Wallstreet by removing the HD, placing it in a FireWire HD enclosure, then connecting it to my iBook and installing Tiger.
- You can save HD space (about 1.5 GB) by performing a custom install of OSX; here is a sample for Tiger:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229
- How much installed memory do you have?
I covered a lot of ground here so feel free to ask any questions.

Two part question 1) what happens if you sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 delete ichat?

Two part question
1) what happens if you sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo? if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

Hi,
It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012 (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

Question on file Quality

I just signed up for iTunes match and have a question regarding the quality needed for songs to be uploaded to the iCloud. I have a number of songs on my computer that are encoded in Mono in AAC at 64 kbps. I know that Apple has demands for quality for the songs it uploads to the cloud. But, my question is why won't they allow songs that are the 64 kbps if it's a mono song. Isn't that the same as 128 kbps if the song were encoded in stereo?

No, Songs with lower quality are exactly that, whether stereo or mono. The iTunes Match process samples the music in an attempt to 'match', of course if the quality is too low this simply will not work.
Match is very much an inexact science, the service would simply risk even worse mismatch issues if it attempted to process lower quality Songs. Important to note that mismatches occur often as it is, this makes usually for an unwelcome surprise when you expect Song A and wonder why Song B is playing.
