4:3 or 16:9? Any difference in result?

Okay, to start off with I was one of those people who couldn't figure out why discs with source material of 16:9 burned at 16:9 was showing up on regular TVs as full screen. I reburned the same source at 4:3 and got the same result. The ProCare tutor at the Apple Store told me it would be letterboxed on a 4:3 TV (I have a widescreen set but friends who will be borrowing it do not).
Finally with the help of this thread ...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=430920&tstart=30
... I was got it figured out and set the dvd player I was testing it on to 4:3 Letterbox. All is fine.
Now this leads me to my question (finally). There seems to be no difference between the discs I burned at 4:3 and 16:9. Is there? Am I missing something? If I am making discs of 16:9 source material that will be played a little on 16:9 TV but probably mostly 4:3 TVs what aspect ratio should I be burning at??
Thanx all

If anything, I would expect the TVs to appear
different when playing either aspect ratio.
But they don't. That is why I am asking if there is a difference I am missing.
Originally I burned at 16:9 ratio because the Procare tutor at the Apple Store said it would appear letterboxed on a 4:3 TV. Looked okay on my 16:9 but on the 4:3 it was full screen with the sides clipped.
I figured I had messed up. So I reburned it at 4:3 ratio. It looked just the same as the 16:9 on my 16:9 TV. It also looked just the same on the 4:3 TV set as the previous 16:9 burn did.
At this point I was really lost. Thankfully I found the thread I linked up top in my first post that said that the dvd player of the 4:3 TV had to be set on letterbox. Man was I relieved.
I reset the dvd player at work connected to the 4:3 TV. Presto - it worked. They were in letterbox. But in the brief amount of time I watched the two different burns, they looked the same.
Both TVs (the widescreen and reg) did not appear different when play either aspect ratio. That is why I was wondering if I was missing something.
Apparently not.
I will go ahead and take the original advice and just burn at whatever aspect ratio my original source material is.

Easy Set Up settings- ? any difference in result between the D-NTSC & AVCHD

I have just spent a few days starting to understand and work with FCE. My first project was to get my AVCHD materials sitting on Sony Memory sticks into my computer for later use. I finished, but realized I may have done something essentially wrong.
My objective is to get the maximum data quality into my HDD and subsequent projects. My shoot source material is AVCHD at max HD at full HD resolution 1920 x 1080.
When moving on to MY next project which was to start capturing Analog video, I was studying and I read about Easy Set Up. This 'window' never came up when I installed FEC. Now, I see that the Easy SetUp that was in play for all of my ingesting of my AVCHD material was as follows: Format - all formats, Rate - All Rates and Use -DV-NTSC
I see now there are other set ups and now need to understand...
1) Should I have used a different Easy Set up for the AVCHD capture e.g. - Format = HD , Rate = 29.97fps, and Use = AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920X 1080i60 ?
2) Is there any difference to the Capture Scratch files I created having used the wrong (?) Easy Set Up ... = Format = all formats, Rate = All Rates and Use = DV-NTSC ....VERSUS .... the Easy Set Up I noticed later which is ... Format = HD , Rate = 29.97fps, and Use = AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920X 1080i60 ?
In short, have I messed up and created .MOV files that will not be at the best possible quality and use for editing later?
I am more than happy to redo all my capturing to get the best results.
THANKS

Thanks Tom...
To clarify please... confirm or correct (I am accomplishing some learning here )
If I hear you right ... because I ingested the material through the Log and Transfer function (for my AVCHD footage), the settings found in the Easy SetUp don't apply. It would appear that for that Log and Transfer function all ingested AVCHD is done with a default setting at all times. In Log and Transfer I found settings in preferences to import, putting the video at AIC and there is no alternate (other than for sound)Also the settings .
I opened QT M.Inspector and saw the following: Format = Apple Intermediate Codec, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062), Millions,16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz & Current Size = 1888 x 1062 pixels (Actual)
I think that this means that even thigh the pre-set is at 1440 x 1080 , that I actually achieve closer to the 1920 x 1080 result ... because of the size of the actual file itself?
So .. to summarize my inquiry ... from what I am leaning... As long as I ingest AVCHD in the Log and Transfer function I will always get the maximum result in resolution and file size. And that the settings I found in ESU are for tape capture only.
Thanks Tom ... I see you are busy on another forum as well. I appreciate all you are doing. If you see me again please understand that I do appreciate the help. I learn in a very different way than normal. After surviving a plane crash doing volunteer help work, and dealing with resulting head injuries the process and flow for me is different and a challenge. I started by learning to read again

Hello,
Just wander if there is any differences setting up MRP run in MDBT or in SM37 to run RMMRP000? This is to run MRP at plant level in background.
Thanks,

Hi,.
Both MDBT & SM37 are having same program (SAPLBTCH) . MDBT is Foreground job as well as Background job.
SM37 is only for Background job only.

Any difference between distinct and aggregate function in sql query cost???

Hi,
I have executed many sql stmts patterns- such as:
a) using a single table
b) using two tables, using simple joins or outer joins
but i have not noticed any difference in sql stmts in cost and in execution plan....
Anyway, my colleague insists on that using aggregate function is less costly compared to
distinct....(something i have not confirmed, that's why i beleive that they are exactly the same...)
For the above reffered 1st sql pattern.. we could for example use
select distinct deptno
from emp
select count(*), deptno
from emp
group by deptno select distinct owner, object_type from all_objects
select count(*), owner, object_type from all_objects
group by owner, object_typeHave you found any difference between the two ever...????
Note: I use Ora DB 10g v2.
Thank you,
Sim

distinct and aggregate function are for different uses and may give same result but if u r using aggregate function to get distinct records, it will be expensive...
ex
select distinct deptno from scott.dept;

Photo vs Video editing Monitors. Any difference?

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a new monitor, primarily for stills editing, but I want to make sure it's not just capable of, but GOOD for video editing/grading too (I'm new to it, but definitely plan to do a lot of it).
I'm looking at either an NEC or EIZO Monitor - 27" (Maybe 24"), but I haven't decided which one yet. This is primarily because they are the best screens for stills. If that doesn't hold true for video, please let me know what other brands/models I should look at.
Are there any differences between a good stills and a good video editing screen? What should I be on the lookout for?
I'm guessing response time would be one factor? The monitors I'm looking at seem to be about 6ms, although some are at around 8ms. (But I know there are 2ms monitors out there). Is that a major concern?
Anything else?
Cheers!
Ben

Haha, of course not.The full benefits? Look no further than LG 105" 5K TV
That is one heck of a TV. We are not that far from having the entire wall be a TV screen. It will most likely happen in my lifetime. It will certainly change the way houses are built, I imagine.
I was wondering if there's any use in a 1080p screen on my 5" Nexus 5, or in Retina displays on 15" MBPs.
That is kind of my point. I carry a smartphone with a 1920X1080 screen, and I seriously doubt that I would notice if it was replaced by a 1280X720 screen. After all, I don't hold it up to my eyes. On the other hand, there are times when I feel like doing that when I am watching software tutorials. But my eyes can't focus that close, so what is the point in such a high pixel count screen?
At 15" it might make a difference though.
My current 2560x1600 30-incher that I've been using for 5+ years was a huge step up from 1920x1200 24-inchers, and I expect 4K, even in a smaller form factor, would be a boon to use and work with.
I can see the point in a 2560X1600 for photography, even though I would have trouble justifying the cost. If I continue with photography in a more professional vein, I might have to consider something with a very high resolution. It might be a couple of years or more before I upgrade from my camera that can shoot 5 frames per second for quite a while, to one that shoots 24 frames per second indefinitely. We are really close and those CinemaRAW cameras are pretty exciting.
My question remains. You went from 24" to 30" when you went to the higher pixel count. Would it have been better even on a 24" screen? Perhaps. But how much better? We still need a good bang for our buck. Right? It has to be enough better to make it worth the money. How much better is certainly an individual thing with every user.
So, I imagine that 4K on a 42" or so might make a huge amount of sense, but until these old eyes see 4K on a 28" screen, I won't know if it is right for me.

Is there any difference running W7Pro 64 bit and 32 bit for Adobe Acorbat 9 Pro Extended

My primary system runs Windows 7 Pro 64 bit system. My other system runs a 32 bit system. I would like to buy Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. Is there any difference with running it on either systems? Or will one version work on both the 64 bit and 32 bit systems.

It would work on both systems, but you no longer can buy Acrobat 9...

Hi Adobe,
I have compared the downloading time between Adobe Multi-Viewer and Zinio App(also hosting digital magazine), I found out that it is so much faster in Zinio.
Are there any difference of the downloading speed if let's say the I'm in Enterprise or in Professional edition?
Thank you for the response!

There is no speed throttling that I’m aware of.

Is any difference in the CDR output format of CUCM version 6.1.5 and 7.1.5?

Hello,
Customer has a CUCM 6.1.5 cluster which is getting upgraded to 7.1.5. currently the CUCM CDR is sent to a external system (performix) which generates required reports. I would like to know if there is any difference in the CDR output format of CUCM version 6.1.5 and 7.1.5/ its vital to confirm this prior to upgrade as the performix is managed by a different vendor.
Please advise !
Shahid

You can review the CDR documentation here to find that out, most likely there might be some changes

Is there any difference viewer software for reports??

Hi,
Is there any difference viewer software for viewing differences between two oracle reports??
Thanks for ur suggestions!
Madhu

Any version control software, like CVS, allows for line-to-line comparison of different versions of the same file. The problem with reports is that to understand differences you need to save the reports in human readable format that can be REX-file.

JSF datatable - any difference with JSF 1.1 and JSF 1.2

Hi All,
In my project there are lot of Datatables, which retrieve data from the database and display it to the user. For each datatable, the columns are not fixed. I want to create some kind of component that can be reusable.
It is basically a JSF portlet. Now i have to use RAD 6. RAD 6 supports only JSF1.1. I have to migrate this to RAD7 in the near future. Are there any differences between the Datatable in JSF 1.1 and JSF 1.2?
I had this approach in mind.
a) Create the datatable programmatically and put the contents to panelgrid. This way the jsp code will be minimized. Is it a good option.? Are the APIs same in both the versions?
b) Is it possible to create a custom datatable which can take some key as input. Then based on the key the datatable can be populated with as many columns as desired.
Please let me know if there are any other good options.
~Anitha.

Hi guys,
my code goes like this..
for (int j = 0; j < size; j++) {
 UIColumn column = new UIColumn();
 dataTable.getChildren().add(column);
 HtmlOutputText header = new HtmlOutputText();
 header.setValue(periodHeader[j]);
 column.setHeader(header);
 HtmlOutputText output = new HtmlOutputText();
 output.setValue(new Double(periodLiability[j]));
 ValueBinding vb1 = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
 .getApplication().createValueBinding(
 ("#{liability.periodLiability["+j+"]}"));
 output.setValueBinding("value", vb1);
 column.getChildren().add(output);
this code gives me the number of headers i need. But, it doesnt render the columns. I have an array of Double (periodLiability) which stores few values of Double type. I want to show thesee values inthe dataTable Column.
Please help me..

Are there any differences?

Are there any differences? on Ipod Video bought in USA and Europe? or are they just the same?
Ive heard that some people have problem with ipods in europe with the pal system when they bought it in USA.
Regards Kim

The only difference I would think there would be between iPods sold here or in Europe is the default option for video out display. So, if you buy your iPod in Europe, and you want to display something from your iPod on a TV in the US, you would just have to change and option. Here is an article that goes over that a bit:
