4 Gb Zen not 4 Gb? (and another question about converting vide

Hi all,
I purchased a 4 Gb zen yesterday and noticed that it lists the amount of free space at around 3.6 or 3.7 GB...is this normal? Is the missing space used for operating system and such? I know it comes with some pre-installed videos and songs but I don't think they added up to 300-400 mbs of stuff.
Also when I try to use the converter that it comes with to convert my DIVX and even AVI files, the converter enounters and error and says something like "the media you selected is not compatable with your player)....What am I doing wrong? Is there a different tool I should be using to convert files? I would like to load up some movies/tv shows on to the player.
Thanks.

There are actually several lawsuits about this, including with Creative and with the fruit company.
Many companies now define a gigabyte to be ,000,000,000 bytes, rather than the correct computing value of ,073,74,824 bytes. So if you're about 7% short of your expectations, this is probably the reason.
The lawsuits tend to be about whether or not the company warned you sufficiently that they were using the less accepted definition of Gb in order to decrease the memory they actually put in their players.

ANOTHER Question about my iMac G3. Mac OS X and RAM

Hey, I have ANOTHER question about my iMac G3.
I know that I'm supposed to have the latest firmware updates for my iMac G3 running OS 8.1, which I do, but I read some where these firmware updates could only be updated if you're running OS 9.2. Yet when I run the firmware updater, it says my firmware is up to date. I just wanted to make sure this was correct because I just ordered an OS X 10.2 CD today, and I don't want my mac to be "dead" when I install it.
My next question is how much RAM can my mac hold. It's an iMac G3 with a 233 mhz processor, if that makes a differemce.
Again, thanks to the people who have helped me with my first Mac.

hi there--
unfortunately you require system 9.1 or 9.2 for the required firmware update 1.2 for your computer http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117. so you'll have to install that if you want to install 10.2. it may work for you for a little while, but then you could possibly lose all your information. so i wouldn't advise attempting installing 10.2 without the correct firmware.

Yet another question about super raid - GS70

Yes, another question about Super Raid...I recently picked up the cheapest model of the GS70 on newegg which comes with 1 mSata SSD...just a mediocre one if I remember reading correctly. I'm interested in using MSI's Super Raid once my warranty is over with and have been reading a couple posts here:
1. Walk through of how to reinstall OS
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=167198.msg1224063#msg1224063
2. I'll need a Super Raid card with links to get some, for about $100 each
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171722.msg1252847#msg1252847
3. I can't get Super Raid unless it originally came with it?
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171185.msg1249640#msg1249640
So what's the bottom line? Would I still be able to enable super raid in the future or am I SOL since it didn't come with it originally?
thanks!

The GT70 CAN come with an adapter that has 2 (on the older, GT70 0NX models) or 3 (on newer GT70 20X models) sockets for mSATA drives. It's an optional part, that takes place of the primary SATA drive in the notebook, and physically has a different part that connects to the motherboard. If it doesn't come with the SuperRaid adapter, then it just has support for a single 2.5" SATA drive.
The GS70 on the otherhand, has this built into the motherboard and there is no swapping it out for a normal 2.5" SATA drive. You can only use mSATA drives (on those ports). The GS70 is meant to be an ultrabook, and therefore does not have the same ability as the GT70 to house up to 2 full size 2.5" SATA drives.
That's really the main difference here. Without physically seeing a GT70 to see how the SuperRaid adapter works, it's slightly difficult to explain.
But in the end, I wouldn't worry about the SuperRaid....The GS70 should have support for Intel Raid Management Engine, in which case that's all you really need.

Lumia 800 touch not working and battery question m...

I have been quite happy with my two months old Lumia 800 until recently when I accidentally dropped it on cobblestone and damaged the glass. Although the phone still worked I ordered a new combined glass, digitizer and screen from an internet supplier. The spare part was OEM and it was relatively painless to replace the old screen with the new screen. However, after replacing the screen, touch did not work and a question mark appeared over the battery icon. I searched the forum and other places on the internet and found out that this type of issue had been seen before and that it in some cases could be fixed by an upgrade of the firmware and a hard reset.
Now a few frustrated days later I am starting to think that possibly the replacement part is faulty as I have tried various firmwares, various ways to charge the battery with various types of USB chargers, but still no success. The phone simply won't respond to touch. Currently I am on firmware 1750.805.8773.12220.
Would any of you in the forum have any ideas what could possibly be wrong? Could it be a broken cable to the screen? I had similar issues with an iPhone 3GS which turned out to have a dodgy ribbon cable connecting the phone and the digitizer, but I cannot seem to find anything on the net mentioning this as a potential problem and I am wondering just how likely it is that the part is faulty, when the screen works fine and only the touch functionality is not working.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. It is very difficult to get in touch with Nokia in Denmark as their support phone is not working and the websites chat functionality seems to be off line all the time.
Best regards,
Anders

You shouldn't have used the phone at all after it dropped in Water.
Only Nokia Care can assess the extent of damage and tell you the repair cost. First, they should accept the device for repairs..and Second, this is certainly not covered under Warranty ..
Even if the phone is repaired with replacing a few components, not sure about the effect of the seepage on other parts which may start acting in a short span ...

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty?

I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty? I want to know if the 3 year extended warranty covers what damage. Like water damage, accidental damage, lost or stolen macbook, manufactory defects, or any other kind of damage, maybe be even cosmetic damage. Can anyone help me?

If you are talking about features of the MBP itself, as long as you are not looking at the Retina models, then the memory you can upgrade yourself for a lot less than Apple charges, and that does not affect the warranty as Apple considers memory a user permitted upgrade. Great sources are Crucial and OWC, both are Mac specialists and have on-line videos on how to do the install.
If the 15" is what you are looking at, a good upgrade is the 7200 rpm hard drive, gives a little better performance over the standard 5400 rpm drive.
The Hi Res screen is good if you do a lot of graphics work.
Comparing the 13" amd 15" you will notice the 15" has a second, discrete graphic processor...helps when you get into heavy duty videos, games, graphics...but keep in mind that kicking in the second processor uses a lot of power and will run the battery down faster.
If you are looking at the Retina models, then keep in mind there are no post-purchase upgrade options...you have to buy with everything you want at the start.
Just some thoughts.

Yet another question about burners for iDVD 6

It's not my intention to be redundant and the question about which DVD burners are compatible with the most recent release of iDVD has been asked a few times since iLife '06 was released at MacWorld last week. Yet, though Apple has announced it, why have they not posted a list of compatible devices?
Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
In either case, has anyone determined if this information is available and, if so, where?
Thanks.

Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
Check with the support sections of the manufacturer's websites - after all, THEY are the ones trying to sell burners.

Questions about converting files in order to import to iMovie '09?

I was able to import the videos from my camera (.mts files) into iMovie '09, but now when I click Import from Camera, iSight opens up instead. Since I can't find out why it won't open up my camera files now, I have decided on just converting the files. I just have a question about converting though. The videos I recorded from my camera are in HD. They're very good quality. If I convert the videos from .mts into .mp4, would that reduce the quality of the video?

When that happens to me I get stubborn and make iMovie see the camera by shutting down and reopening iMovie, because I don't want another level of transcoding. If that doesn't work and you have a card reader of even better, a sd slot on your iMac, just plug the card in. If it appears on the desktop iMovie should see it, and if it appears on your desktop then iMovie should read it.
I have a Canon HFS 100 that works best if I take the card out and plug it into the computer.
The times I converted to .mp4, I thought the quality did degrade, because it had to be converted to .mp4 and then imported as AIC. But I am not an expert on whether iMovie can deal with .mp4 directly.
Canons require that one have the camcorder plugged into a power outlet, another reason to use a card reader.
What kind of camcorder do you have? With some camcorders, if one takes both photos and video, the video won't be read.
When nothing works, occasionally deleting iMovie preferences works.

Hello I have a question about Converting 60>23.98 Cannon Mark III footage.
In cinema tools, my footage stays grayed out. Both when I try my Compressor pro-res footage, & original footage from cam.
When I convert from 60>23.98 in the Gopro app, it works fine.
Does anyone know if there is any quality loss in this app?
Also does anyone know another free software tht works great to convert markIII 60>23.98 footage?
Thank u thank u thank u !!!!

Questions about Cinema Tools should be asked in the Final Cut Studio forum.

Yet Another Expressing anger and dissatisfaction over the Cyan situation. How can you ignore so many and not answer a single question about this?

When I bought my Icon it was advertised as being "8.1 ready." Soon, I was led to believe, I would have Cortana. I was told that there were improvements to the camera that were in the Cyan firmware. As this phone had high spec hardware and was being called the Windows "flagship phone" on Verizon, I had no reason to doubt the update would arrive.
Not only did it not, as we are all aware, but as months went by and people took to this forum, other Windows forums and Twitter to complain and question, Verizon has never put out a simple clear statement to their customers about what their intentions are and when they might take action. I feel deceived and ignored.
To not address this in any way when so many are so vocally asking is rude. Quite simply rude.
Even today the Icon is available online at the Microsoft store and the copy there says that this phone is "Windows Phone 8.1 ready" with an asterisk that leads to the disclaimer that "update availability and timing varies by carrier." It has been four months since this update began rolling out.
What has led me to post this and lend my voice to the chorus is the articles published in the last day or two saying that Verizon has now changed the status of the update to "under development." Once again, without a single word of explanation or apology. Without a single message to all of their customers who have been asking for information for months. Again, just rude.
These articles suggest the reason for the delay is Verizon's dissatisfaction with how their apps are working with 8.1. Of course there is no way for me to know if this is true since Verizon will not say anything at all about it. So I might as well believe what the reports say I guess. This of course makes the whole thing so much worse.
Verizon, are you seriously holding up this thing that all of your customers want so as to make sure the horrible bloatware that no one wants will "work"?! You can't put out the update and then fix your terrible apps yourself like every other app maker? Only so that we can then uninstall them anyway? This is ridiculous and insulting.
Verizon is always trying to disable phone features to customer's detriment and their profit. I don't doubt that is what this delay is about. Now it is difficult to tether my phone without paying an extra fee even though the feature is built into Windows Phone. Just a way to keep me from using the data that I payed for and that is allotted to me. In the old days you couldn't move pictures off of your phone through the usb cable you had. You had to send them over the network and use data.
Why not try providing services instead of taking them away and delaying them? Why not treat customers well instead of ignoring their questions? Why not do what is right and allow Microsoft to update their hardware, hardware that we bought after being told that it was 8.1 ready?

Hi Danny-CoolKID,
AIM for Mac is not at version 5.9
It is here http://www.aim.com/getaim/mac/latestmacosx.adp?aolp=0
It is still at version 4.7 and the pages style has not been changed along with the other AIM pages.
It does NOT do Audio or Video Chats.
If you are looking at text only then also consider
1) Proteus (Site being revamped at present)
2) AdiumX
Both these are third party software that can connect to multiple services.
As iVmichael says there are other crossplatform solutions as well.

Ok. quick and easy question about my Zen Vision

i'm thinking that my zen can no longer have anything added to it, although there is about 5 gbs worth of space left. it sucks has sucked for a while, but i'm trying to get over it.
my brother noticed that in the bottom of it, the part where it connects so you can make transfers and stuff, is bent. i tried unbending it but that didn't work.
and when i connect it to my comp, it says "overload" and my comp freezes for a bit.
so that's a sign to get another mp3 player right? it's a shame that this happened. he thinks i was too rough with it.
i admit that i have spent some time pushing it in when it wasn't properly fitting. but i didn't "see" it then. now looking back, i kinda laugh.
btw, there are no shops around here to repair the bend to the best of my knowledge..actually, maybe Weiss Hardware...just maybe.

Yes. LOL You word it so much nicer!
lol...
if customer support actually does help, for a nice price, you will be -my new saviour-!
(My music is literally my life.)
OK. I checked there. They have an option of support (while the warranty is still good) and another option (that's non-technical).
I got my first Zen Vision (30 GB) March 2007. Then a replacement (this one) in May 2007. Is it still covered? I have my doubts. :P?

Another question about custom JComponents and JPanels

Okay, so new issue now. I will be researching this as best I can while I wait for a reply.
So I made a custom Component, and added it to a custom Panel. The Panel only contains this Component.
If in the JFrame I create a JScrollPane and add the custom panel to it, then the scrollbar works exactly right. But, if I add the custom panel to another panel, it doesn't work. It just puts a one pixel border around the panel and centers it. I'm gonna go and read all about ScrollPanes and what it uses as a basis.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Satellite A660: Remark and a question about illumination/mute button

Remark:
Hi, I am a proud owner of a satellite A660-166 (3 days old) and I installed everything from scratch on the win 7 pro since I received my laptop with a home version (need pro for work)...I encountered some problems but this forum really answered all my questions :) Never found such a helpful forum for technical support. So I wanted to express my gratitude and my support for everything you do for the users :)
Problem: Well, it's not really a problem, more of a curiosity... I had some problems with the eco button at that point illumination/mute button was for mute....Thanks to you guys I found out what needed to be done, I reinstalled Flash card software and everything was working properly plus the illumination/mute button was for illumination now. I don't have anything against that, I prefer it that way, but I'm wondering how do I change that...I found some unanswered thread about using toshiba assistant and the illumination tab...Since my laptop is pretty new, I don't have an illumination tab, I was wondering how do I change the button to mute if I want to?
Thanks, keep up the good work!

It is nice to hear you found answers to your questions here. Many people here try to help.
Back to your issue: It is not easy to offer precise answer and I really dont know if you can change settings for one single button. I think it has something to do with registry entries but how to change it is another question.
If you use this button for illumination ON/OFF you can use FN+ESC for MUTE option so you will have both options that can be used using one single button or quick key combination.
Can you please test it and confirm it works properly?

Another question about gmail

TrackControl, Change Track, and others questions about AvTransmit

Hi there,
I've got multiples questions about JMF and AvTransmit, hope you will help
For a small student project, i'm developing a streaming server using JMF, i have used the AvTransmit example.
Streaming, etc... everything work fine, i stream music over web
But i need help with "playlist" :
// Get the tracks from the processor
TrackControl[] tracks = processor.getTrackControls();
First Question :
The Processor use a MediaLocator to get one track, is there a way to indicate multiples tracks, such as a directory containing multiples audio file ?
At this time, i can only set 1 file in the MediaLocator.
I'm using a simple class as Playlist (a File[]), and, when i want to change song, i stop the thread, change the MediaLocator with another file, and restart the thread.
It works on a Lan, but on Internet, Player (I use VLC for my test) lost the connection, i need to restart VLC to get audio again.
Second Question
Is there a more "elegant" way to change tracks ?
Last Question
I have think about building my own object Playlist... gasp...
I've look at the javadoc... but i'm a bit lost... does my class have to implement TrackControl ? what are the object inside etc...
If someone knows information about this...
That's all ;)
Thanks !
Tommy, french student (sorry for the english)

First Question :
The Processor use a MediaLocator to get one track, is there a way to indicate multiples tracks, such as a directory containing multiples audio file ?
At this time, i can only set 1 file in the MediaLocator.No. The processor uses a MediaLocator to get one file. Files (can) contain multiple tracks.
You can, in fact, combine the tracks of multiple files together, but, there's no need to do that with your application. AVTransmit2 sends each track as a separate RTP stream, so you'd just be sticking them together just to pull them apart again.
In general, you want to keep your architecture as one processor per file, one RTP stream per track.
Second Question
Is there a more "elegant" way to change tracks ?Yes. It's what I refer to as a jukebox DataSource. I discuss it / explain the concept on this previous thread.
[http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=28&threadID=5400318]
What you're essentially doing when you change the MediaLocator is starting over from scratch. You end up with a whole new DataSource, whole new Processor, whole new RTP session. On the LAN, this isn't an issue because it looks like you paused the RTP session (because the IP/PORTs don't change).
Over the internet, though, when you stop sending and restart, you're very likely going to get a new public NAT port. And so when your stream gets to the client, it's going to look like it's from a different person than the original.
The solution is to use the jukebox datasource to change the media without restarting the Processor or the RTP streams. That'll ensure that your stream won't move between files from the perspective of the client...
Last Question
I have think about building my own object Playlist... gasp...
I've look at the javadoc... but i'm a bit lost... does my class have to implement TrackControl ? what are the object inside etc...
If someone knows information about this...Ummmm, your "Playlist" object should just be a Jukebox datasource, so follow the link and figure out how that's supposed to work. If you have questions about it, just ask 'em here (rather than on the older thread)...
