24p users? or anyone with 24p knowledge

I am considering switching my Nikon D40x for the new Nikon D3100 that autofocus video, BUT it shoots 1080 24p not 1080 30p! I know people were waiting for the 24p, but now I am confused. If you shoot 24p, can you in imovie:
1. Combine footage or must you stay with 24p.
2. export to other formats such as 720
3. 24p vs 30p....how does it handle? Is it harder to work with?
The Canon does 1080 30p, but its manual focus. I am not a professional here...I mostly take family stuff. The cost to move to the d3100 isn't bad since I already have lenses.

Sheryl, OK Here are my tests.
First, here is some [24fps 320x240 from Kodak Z760 rendered in a 24fps iMovie 11 project.|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcJrvH7SFr4] iMovie rendered this at the Mobile preset.
Second, here is [30fps 1080i AVCHD and 18 fps 1080P Motion JPEG from 8MM film on the same timeline, rendered at 1080P at 30 fps.|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfKGtRhwjmQ]
Finally, here is a kitchen sink timeline. [30fps 1080i AVCHD, 18fps 1080P Motion JPEG (from 8MM film), 30 fps 640x480 AIC from VHS, 30 fps 640x480 DV, 30 fps 720P from a Kodak Z812IS, 24 fps 320x240 from Kodak Z760.|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF0QJv3RHJM] Rendered in 1080P at 30fps.
There is another level of testing that I do not have the equipment to do:
1) 24fps in HD
2) Is there a difference between true 24fps, and 24fps that is achieved through 3:2 pulldown?

  • Anyone with Parallels knowledge...

    I removed Parallels before installing a new copy of it. I did NOT remove the virtual machine I had. I reinstalled windows on the new installation of parallels, but the old windows files are still sitting on my hard drive taking up tons of space. How can I locate and remove these files? I thought I'd ask here too as I have yet to receive a response on the Parallels forums. Thanks in advance for any help.

    They should be in your UserName folder under Documents. Look for an entry for Parallels. It would be one file and if it was Windows XP it isn't that big and slightly bigger for Windows 7. Certainly not Tons of Space. 5-25/30 GBs depending on what version of Windows and what was installed in Windows. The next time you do an upgrade you can do it over the top of the older version or you can remove the older one and instyall the new version and then Open the existing Windows Virtual Machine in the new version. You don't have to Reinstall Windows just because you upgrade Parallels.

  • Cannot author with 24p assets from TMPGEnc Xpress 4

    I'm working on a project that involves the creation of 5 exercise-type DVDs. Each DVD contains from 2 to 5 programs (29.97), a copy warning, series intro (the same is used on each DVD), a single motion menu, and an extra feature (23.976). It's the extra feature that's giving me fits...
    As there is a great deal of content on each DVD (two of them are 3+ hours), I'm having to use 2-pass VBR encoding, and some relatively low bitrates. Where I thought I could save a little space is on the extra feature, which is a 15 minute interview that will be included on each disc. The interview was shot in 24p anamorphic DV, and edited as such. I've not been happy with the quality of the encode from AME--used 2-pass VBR at about 3Mbps target--so I picked up TMPGEnc Xpress 4, and encoded using that. Ahh... much better. So far, so good.
    The problem comes during authoring. I import all my assets, set up my menus and timelines, go about linking and checking end jumps, and everything is fine on preview. I begin the authoring process, and all is well and good until the very end, when the authoring fails and I get a generic "File is not valid MPEG". Some sleuthing has helped me determine that it is, indeed, the 24p file from TMPGenc.
    I found that if I burn the 24p file to a disc without menus and set it to autoplay, it plays fine. However, when I link to the file from a menu, I get the error during authoring. The VIDEO_TS folder structure is built (I've just been testing to the hard drive), but once that track is hit, everything comes screeching to a halt.
    Now, a little more info: I've compared the file structure of the M2V produced by AME, and the one produced by TMPGEnc--and there are some differences. Most notably, the AME version's N frame value is 12, whereas the TX4 version's N frame value is 13 (!?!). Something definitely doesn't seem right, here. Also, I've tested TX4 with CBR single-pass and ended up with the same error in Encore. And another thing: the main programs mentioned above were encoded using TX4, CBR single-pass (this is the smallest disc, and I could get away with CBR), and those files author perfectly fine.
    Has anyone been able to successfully encode and author with a TMPGEnc'ed 24p MPEG-2 file? Or should I just give up and accept lower quality output from AME? I welcome your advice.

    Hey Jeff--thanks for the reply. Here's your answers:
    1) Yes, they all import as "Don't Transcode". The files are untouched by Encore, all the way through the Build process.
    2) I tried both linking in the original project (with all the other assets), and in a new project that contained only the 24p file. I built a quick menu, linked to the 24p timeline, and hit Build... kablooie. Build failed, once again giving me the faulty MPEG error.
    3) I checked all the files I've created in GSpot, and they all report the same information as you've described above. It's the GOP information that leaves me scratching my head. Observe:
    AME CBR 1-pass
    AME VBR 2-pass
    TX4 CBR 1-pass
    TX4 VBR 2-pass
    AME produces results that I would expect--TX4 has those weird N values of 13 and 14.
    4) My source footage is indeed NTSC DV, and is going to an NTSC DVD. What I had found in my earlier research (the source eludes me at the moment) was that for a true 24p MPEG-2 file, with pulldown flags inserted, is that the N value should be 12. The rationale was that you want 2 GOPS per second (24 fps / 2 GOPs per sec = 12). I'll have to find that article/site where I found that information--it made sense to me at the time. I do know that both the AME encoded files work perfectly with this value--the N values in the TX4 files (13 and 14) are not controllable when you use the DVD-Video preset. You can change to an MPEG-2 preset where you can change the GOP, but I haven't done this... although I'm considering trying that next.
    Thanks for any insight you can provide!

  • Anyone with a Crucial MX100 SSD and problems with Mavericks?

    Hi there.
    I carbon copy cloned my ex Intel X25M G2 160gb SSD to my new Crucial MX100 512gb SSD and installed it in my mac mini Late 2012 (i7 2.6ghz).
    Never experienced before, now the system freezing up and getting the "spinning ball of death" for almost 10 seconds (maybe more) and than the system becomes normal. After few time (don't know maybe two minutes, maybe twenty, it depends) again freezing up and getting the "spinning ball of death".
    Are there anyone with a Crucial MX100 SSD that experience my problem? Solution? Apple Hardware Test on the mac mini say 'no hardware problem at all' (I went for the long test during the night). Maybe the clone process had some unknown problem even though I did it many times in the past and never experienced something similar.
    Do I have to re-install to have the answer? What do you think?
    Regards,
    Claudio.

    There's a firmware upgrade for the MX100 (search for MX100 in the dropdown here: http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd) however after reading through the thread, the upgrade seems to require a fairly advanced skills and knowledge.  Anyway I'm not sure if the upgrade is intended to fix spinny beachball issues or random and frequent restarts like I'm experiencing.  Here's how Crucial describes the update...
    Release Date: 03/10/2015 (Manual boot file for Windows and Mac)
    Firmware for the MX100 (all form factors) is being updated from version MU01 to MU02. The MX100 is updateable to this new firmware starting from previous versions using tools provided by Micron.
    This update will be mandatory cut-in for new product built in Micron factories, and is an OPTIONAL update for any drive in the field. For end users, it is recommended if the user is experiencing or wishes to prevent an issue related to the following items.
    Version MU02 includes the following changes:
    Improved stability, Efficiency, and Performance during power state transitions
    Improved handling of environments with unstable power supplies
    Improved handling of environments with SATA interface signal integrity issues
    Improved response time for SMART read commands
    Corrected error handling NCQ Trim Commands
    Corrected reporting of SMART Attribute 5

  • 'Genius' related question for anyone with over 1.2TB of music?

    Anyone out there with a iTunes library with over 1.2TB of music?
    Reason I ask, is that I've not been able to solve a problem in updating Genuis - I'm getting the error - 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' or the 'unknown 4002 error'.  The steps I've taken to try and correct sometime back can be found in https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815 and also shown here in sequence below. 
    I keep thinking this will be fixed with the next version iTunes but so far with the latest, things still the same.  So looking to see if anyone with a similar size library is having similar problems and it just a limitation of the program or it's something specific on my end that I can fix.
    Appreciate...
    Up to this weekend I've had not issues with Genius. Worked beautifully and updated last Sunday as I have been doing every week since Apple added Genius. Yesterday I added a few albums and went to update and now getting the error of 'Genius results can't be updated right now. There is not enough memory available ~ Please try again later.' Now my library is well over >200,000 songs and only added 6 albums this time. Music sits on a external 2TB drive ~100GB free and my MacBook Pro has over 60GB open. Running latest Mac OSX and latest iTunes. Nothing new installed or changed since last Genius update.
    To the points raised in this thread.
    1. I've been updated weekly with a Library with over 200K songs till now with no problem. Majority is what I've ripped from my albums & CDs.
    2. Deleted the albums recently added since last successful update - same result.
    3. Connected directly to the network bypassing router as suggested here - same result.
    4. Reinstalled iTunes program - same result.
    5. Repaired permissions - same result.
    Problem remains. Welcome any additional thoughts.
    Question for anyone with a music library
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/12584815#12584815
    Ok, tried all the suggestions here yet the problem remains.
    In addition what I posted above -
    1) Dumped the cookies in user/library/cookies folder
    2) Deleted the apple cookies found under Safari Preferences "Show Cookies"
    3) Repaired disk permissions
    4) Deleted iTunes Library Genius.itdb file
    5) Reinstalled iTunes (with the new 10.1 version)
    6) Restarted computer
    7) Rebuilt iTunes Library folder http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
    8) Deleted all iTunes dead tracks
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=removedeadsuper
    9) Increased internet access speed
    10) Removed all open "[" and '}' brackets from songs, albums & artists
    10) Rebuilt my entire library from scratch!
    Is there anyone out there with over 200K songs that can update their Genius? One thing I noted is the genuis.itdb file is just over 2GB. I'm wondering if there is a maximum size on this based on the error I'm getting. Any thought or know info on this?
    Ok, think I may have found something here with this. I backed out all the music added prior to this problem occurring and ran the Genius update. All worked fine. I then started adding the music back little by little (running the update each time) until the problem returned. When the problem came back I ruled out the specific music added by backing that bit out, verified all was ok and added a different batch back in.
    Bottom-line it appears that when my library exceeds exactly 1.208TB the problem appears. Interestingly enough it does not appear to be related to the number of songs, the size of the genius.itdb file (in fact when it was working the file was at 2.25GB - larger than what I reported before). It specifically seems to be related to the size of the overall library - when I have it for example at 1.2079 all is ok, 1.2081 it fails with this error.
    I did try moving the library and related files to the external drive but same result. abavetta, I think your suggestion of this script may be a workaround for now - although from what I read, is this not the same that you can do anyway with iTunes by holding the alt/option key open start up? In fact I do have two libraries now - one with the 2TB drive which I use at home and another for 2x500GB disks I carry with me when i travel. I just reported the same back to Apple but doubt if any immediate solution will come for this. Too bad as one of the great things about having such a large library is the mixes you can generate via Genius. Anyway, such is life and will just live with this for now. I also just found this program called Tangerine! http://www.potionfactory.com/tangerine/ which creates playlists like Genius - although through a different technique I might also take a look at.

    Just to let all know that may be having a similar problem, what I found by accident to fix this problem.
    Reset all my Home Folder permissions using the resetpassword method from the startup utility in Lion.  Then turned off/on to reset Genius and cleaned out the cache folder for good measure.  Finally after more than a year without, have Genius up and running again.

  • Lightroom 2.5 not printing with main account user but prints with a new use

    I have been troubleshooting all day. My new epson r280 is not printing with LR2.5 though it prints in other applications fine. Called epson and we are sure that I have the latest drivers, etc. Called Adobe and they had me create a new user in accounts in system preferences-accounts. When I tried printing from the "test user" LR printed with my epson printer. Adobe said the problem was with my system permissions and I had to reset my system permissions. This doesn't sound right to me. I ran disk utility and repaired my permissions but LR still doesn't print using my original user. Genius Book suggests going to Library-Preferences and to delete the plist. Does this sound right? And do I delete the p-list for LR or for the epson printer? What happens when you delete a p-list? Will I lose my catalog in LR? I would appreciate any help on this problem.

    Just trying again to see if anyone has any solutions for this question. Thanks

  • Has anyone with Windows successfully set up "Accounts" disk file sharing?

    I bought an Airport Extreme basestation (the one with Wifi-N and gigabit ethernet)a few days ago and set it up on the network.
    So far the wifi part has been nice - the range and speed (and stability) are a lot better than the Belkin draft-N wifi I had been using.
    I've also been able to share a few FAT-32 USB disks (Iomega brand) using the "with device password" option and it seems to work nicely in this mode.
    But what I really want to do is setup access by the "with a disk password" and via "accounts" - but after several hours of troubleshooting and checking on the Internet, I get the impression that neither work.
    For example, when I am sharing the disks in Device mode, I can connect to the IP from windows explorer and access using any user name and the device password. This works great.
    When I set it to "Disk" mode - it doesn't work at all - no matter what user name and password are used. I tried using both the disk and device password. I get a windows error "... is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource..." which is consistent with the user and password authentication failure. I have the same experience when setting the disk sharing for "Account" mode.
    Repeated rebooting of the Airport Extreme and Laptop did not help at all. I also tried after killing the Airport utility/assistant that sits in the task bar as it seems useless. The results are the same with the utility activated or not.
    A few more details:
    I have the Airport Extreme in 'bridge' mode - the IP is generated by a broadband router connected to a cable modem. I updated the firmware from the 7.2.1 that came installed to the latest (7.3.2).
    I read on the Internet a number of posts from both Mac and Windows users reporting bugs in the security software on the airport for filesharing. So my question is - has anyone with a Windows (XP, vista, etc) gotten the file sharing to work with anything other than Device mode? Eg. Disk mode, Account mode, etc?
    I know several people that use these devices, but nobody is using in this mode. I talked 2 friends to try setting up users and they couldn't get it to work either. But it's not a big deal to them since they don't use that feature.
    If anyone is using it like this, I'd like to know how you set it up. If you had this problem and what you did to fix it. Thanks!

    I suspect I may never know why, but now, inexplicably, everything is working.
    Out of curiosity, I tried to connect via an older win2000 machine that we use for a file server and it worked!
    After we rebooted the other XP machines, they started working too.
    I'm sure the fix was anything but connecting a win2000 machine, but I'm just happy it works now!

  • Ldapbind to database adapter users in OVD with email

    Hi!
    Can anyone tell me howto ldapbind to database adapter users in OVD with email or uid?
    Ldapbind with full DN work just fine.
    Thanks!

    >
    Also I can bind to users in database CRM OVD-DB table using
    ldapbind -h ovd.mydomain.com -p 6501 -D "cn=extcustomername,cn=customers,cn=users,dc=mydoamin,dc=com" -w %custpwd%
    But I getting "ldap_bind: Invalid credentials" error trying to bind with:
    ldapbind -h ovd.mydomain.com -p 6501 -D cn=extcustomername -w %custpwd%You can bind with UPN to AD because AD is special.
    You won't be able to bind with cn=extcustomername using out of the box adapter. If you write your own plugin that will look up the DN based on cn=extcustomername, then have the plugin do the bind with the DN for you, it'll work. Then you would have to make sure this plugin will work with the database adapter, I haven't tried it so I don't know.
    If you're trying to make this bind with cn=extcustomername work for OAM to OVD, then you don't need to do it. Leave the adapter as is (bind with full DN). External users will login to OAM-protected application with their username or whatever is the value of cn. OAM will then look up the DN based on the cn or any other attribute, this is configured in authentication scheme in credential_mapping plugin.

  • Best way to handle user access levels with spring.

    I'm a spring newb, and I'm not sure how to properly handle user access levels with a validation controller. There seems to be a lot of information out there about creating simple login validators but like I've said I need to create multiple levels of user access. I could throw something together but i want to do it correctly. Does anyone here have any links to resources or information they could provide?

  • Populate user exit Variable with User Authorizations using ABAP?

    Hi, Does anyone know of a way to populate a user exit variable (with ABAP) with the Authorization Values for a user running a report?  I am turning off authorizations for our InfoProvider using RSSM and want to populate a variable instead and use the variable as a filter.

    Hi Kenneth ,
    You need dynamic authorization in your report .This can be done at query runtime by using exit variable and writing cmod code for the same .
    This code will read authorization maintained at runtime of query in i_step = 1 and will pass input var values accordingly .
    For step by step information you can access this document .

  • My mother is visually impaired but can easily play scrabble, bridge, crib on my ipad.  Has anyone with a vision issue experienced these same games as easily on the ipad mini?

    My mother is visually impaired but can easily play scrabble, bridge, crib on my ipad.  Has anyone with a vision issue experienced these same games as easily on the ipad mini?  Would prefer to buy the smaller one if she can read it successfully.

    Thanks jared,
    I'm still dealing with this issue through Apple. Some time after I posted this, I contacted Apple again. They did start a case up for me, as I was experiencing the same behavior on two different machines, with two different versions of Windows.
    So far it remains unsolved. I've logged iClouds for Windows on my desktop, which is brand new, then logged for awhile after completely uninstalling Norton Security Suite, depending on the Microsoft security for some time, and finally logged after I uninstalled iCloud for Windows, restarted, installed a clean download, and connected using a completely different test account, which Apple set up for me. None of this made any difference. Looking at the logs, it seems every 10 minutes, iCloudServices.exe creates a new TCP connection to confirm I'm using less than 5GB on iCloud, (which I am by a good margin, using less than 2GB), it seems this connection is not closed, and when the next iteration rolls around 10 minutes later, a new TCP connection is created. I come very close to having 6 TCP connections created per hour, until I restart my computer. This works out to... 6 x 24 = 144/day.
    Perhaps the article you posted will shed some further light on this. I'm thinking seeing the state of the connection through netstats, at the least, could help.
    For the last week, I've been putting a hold on further logging, as Apple wants me to create a new user account on one of my computers, install iCloud for Windows there, and log it running in the other account. This however basically means I cannot use my computer for a fair number of hours, and I've been busy enough with work the past week that I haven't the time or energy to afford to set this up and run it. I've had need of my computers too much for the past week.

    Bought Lion online, downloaded, when finished an error message appeared and 3,7GB vanished... Anyone with a similar experience???

    All I know is that once it is installed it is erased, the Lion Installer is erased from the applications folder.
    You won't have to pay for it again if you have to download again. Remember to move it out of the applications folder, then you can trash it when you are ready or even burn a startup DVD.
    My knowledge comes from two e-books you can get here

    and the one about using lion.
