Advice on Server system that can handle video and more

Our Xserve died and right now we have a temporary fix, I know it last long. We are looking into purchase a new whole system. Our workshop consists of three branches Video, Photo, and Graphic with 15 Mac Pro workstation and use Final Cut Studio. We would like a system that is fast, reliable, and with fiber capabilities. Cause, I'm clueless on how to build a system. Any advice on what is the best system, a list or anything?
Thank you
Luis

There's no single "best" here.
You could configure a new Xserve to match or better the specifications of your failed Xserve boxes; if the failed box is more than a few years old, then a minimally-configured Xserve will probably have specifications past your old one.
Gigabit networking is integrated.
You'll need to add a Fibre Channel (FC) Host Bus Adapter (HBA) if you're using external SAN storage, or (if it is compatible) transfer the FC HBA over from the previous system. (Check that you have the correct slot for it when you order the new box; you'll need to have a PCI-X or PCIe slot, depending on what the previous HBA required.)
If you're just looking for a whole lot of disk space and not re-using some existing SAN configuration, then adding a SAS adapter or analogous and an after-market external storage (RAID) array to your Xserve can usually get you equivalent capacity for less.

Hosting company that can handle large videos.

I currently have 9 videos on my website that range from 3.5 minutes to 1 hour. 8 of them range in file sizes from 21MB to 389MB. My latest video is 40 minutes long and 1.57GB. I know, that is huge, but it was taken with an HD camera and is in MP4 format encoded with the H.264 codec. I tried to convert this to FLV, but the video looked terrible. My current host has informed me that the video is to large for his server to handle. I don't know exactly how all that works, so I am hoping that someone can tell me how to make the video smaller so that his server can handle it or suggest a host that can handle the files as is. So if anyone has any suggestion, either way, please let me know. It will be greatly appreciated.

My host did ask me to delete the 1.57GB video off his server, so it is not currently on there.

If you want to be in the video streaming business... then you need to move from shared hosting to a dedicated server. FWIW: I highly recommend Lunar Pages. They have dedicated server packages starting as low as $99/month. If you're so inclined, here's my affiliate link. http://www.lunarpages.com/id/NancyO

Looking for Mac that can handle CPU intensive apps (Music & Video)

Hi everyone, I am looking to get a new mac in the near future but wanted to know which Desktop mac is best for music and video? I was thinking of the new iMac but not sure if they are powerful enough? I need something that can handle CPU intensive stuff. I will be using it mainly for video editing and music producing

In a nutshell,
Look at the new 27 inch screen iMac models.
Get the fastest optional CPU,
Decide which optional GPU you'd be comfortable with.
Get the base 8 GBs of RAM and then purchase extra, cheaper RAM through third party Mac RAM sellers.
Then add as much RAM as you think you need. The 27 inch screen models can take up to 32 GBs of RAM.
Decide on optional storage sizes.
If you need a CD / DVD optical drive, these are no longer built-in and you will need to budget for a good external optical drive.
Budget for 3-year extended AppleCare warranty service.
In case of reliability issues with the first 5 years of operational life, the iMac will be covered with free warranty service for the first three years.
Good Luck!

WL-JAAS-No Configuration was registered that can handle the configuration

Hi,
A) I am trying to run JAAS on Weblogic. We have got our own login module developed based on JAAS specification.
I have created jas.config which is as follows:
abcjaas {
<pkg>.DBLoginModule required
which I have included in the system properties as
set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% -Djava.security.auth.login.config=D:\BeaWL\jaas.config
B) I had also tried setting this
set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% -Dlogin.configuration.provider=com.bea.common.security.jdkutils.JAASConfiguration. This I have also tried configuring in the java.security file in the JDK folder.
While in Java code, it precisly throws error here on this statement:
loginContext = new LoginContext("abcjaas", callHandler);
But for all the above trials, it gives the same error as follows:
C)
Inside : Authenticator ::authenticateUser()....
<Sep 10, 2009 2:32:49 PM IST> <Error> <HTTP> <BEA-101020> <[weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext@609547 - appName: CommercialLines_EAR', name: 'App', context-path: '/App', spec-version: '2.5'] Servlet failed with Exception

D) Kindly help, the Weblogic 10.3.0.0 running on JDK1.6 -Sun provided. I am not using the JDK1.6 in WL10.3 or its Jrockit1.6.
Please let me know the resolution.
Cheers,
-Vishal Kumar

I came across the potential fix through the document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23717_01/doc.71/e23699/adm_troubleshoot.htm#BABIHJJF . The fix works fine.
However I would like a better explanation of the issue and the fix. The issue happens only on Solaris servers that run sftp, but not on linux servers.

Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted.

[SOLVED] "No codec present that can handle the stream's type" issue

Hello. I got a python program that would play musics on a website, which doesn't work for a "no codec present that can handle the stream's type" issue. I have installed things like gstreamer, gstreamer-plugins, gstreamer-python, gstreamer-ffmpeg, and libmpeg2, etc. However, this issue still remains. Would someone here be able to help?
Here's the error message:
** Message: don't know how to handle audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, mpegaudioversion=(int)2, layer=(int)3, rate=(int)24000, channels=(int)2, parsed=(boolean)true

Here's the program, written by a Chinese: https://github.com/zhendi/DoubanFM-CLI
Edit:
I'm able to play the musics on the websites via chromium.
Edit:
I tried to download the music, and use gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=~/p535960.mp3 ! decodebin ! autovideosink, but only find these messages:

Sorry. I just found the reason. I missed gstreamer-ugly in this case.

Search application that can handle regular expressions

I am desperately seeking for my PhD an OSX 10.6 application that can search through all my data. That application need to have *efficient search algorithms* for complex pattern searching.
For example I want to search all my documents having the word cancer inside the file.
Not only search for the filename cancer BUT search inside the documents with all the extensions (pdf, rtf, doc, etc.)
In Windows I use +Filelocator Pro+.
Is there a Mac OSX application like +Filelocator Pro+ for search?
An application that can handle regular expression support, with any of the following options:
+Export results to Text, command line options, Network drive searching, Boolean searches (e.g. AND, OR, and NOT), Perl compatible regexp option, Built in file viewer, Word, Excel and PDF searching, Open Office, Word Perfect option using IFilters, Unicode support, support for: ZIP, RAR, CAB, 7-Zip, ARJ, Bzip, CHM, CPIO, DEB, DMG, GZIP, HFS, ISO, LZH, MSI, NSIS, RPM, TAR, UDF, WIM, XAR, Z formats, Active Scripting support, Export as Text, CSV, XML, HTML, or XSLT custom format, File attribute searching , Relative date/time searches, Repositionable contents pane, Search within search, Exclude folders list,+ etc

You might try the freeware EasyFind. It allows boolean and wildcard searches. How many of the other features in your "wish list" it offers I haven't checked. If EasyFind doesn't offer sufficient power, take a look at FoxTrot Personal Search or FoxTrot Professional Search.
And of course there's always grep which can be incredibly powerful once you learn all its ins and outs.

Looking for Rental add-on that can handle flexible return dates

Hi Forum,
I am wondering which would be good add-on for rental industry that can handle flexible return dates (without cancelling original contract and creating a new one with actual date).
I am wondering if Visnova's Rental add-on would handle flexible return dates without actually cancelling original contract and creating a new contract.
Are there many ways to handle flexible rental return dates?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have moved your thread here because you are looking for partner add-on instead of SAP add-on. Have you searched through this forum and SAP EcoHub ?

Email services that can sync contact and calendar ...

Hi,
I am thinking to changing my email address from Hotmail to either Ovi mail or GMX mail. Gmail is out of the question as I prefer to stay away from Google.
Does any of these email services are capable of syncing contacts and calendar with Nokia E6? Mail for exchange only works with Hotmail?
If Ovi mail or GMX works which one would you prefer? Another free email service is also welcome
Thanks

In the Calendar app itself, you can control which integrated calendars are reflected and acted upon. With the calendar app running, pull down from the top and select "Manage"...tic on or off those calendars so that only what matters to you is showing on the device.
The event you have cited is likely an automatic holiday insertion...you have to manage the source of that insertion if you want to change what it does with the individual calendar. It's not a duplicated event...it's you showing, on your device, 3 calendars that all happen to have the same holiday event on them. If you suppress a calendar, that event will not show on your device...if you change (on the server) how that calendar handles holidays, that would effect how it shows on your device (if you keep that calendar showing on your device).

I have the apple univeral dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows on my TV but not music How do I play the music

I am trying to connect an IPOD classic to my TV to play music
I have the dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows but not music

Actually, i figured part of it out. When I'm playing itunes to my Apple Tv and Airport Express stations around the house, then turn on the mirroring, the itunes volume bar goes all the way to zero. I can bring it back up manually, and it will play on Apple TV, but it won't broadcast to multiple Airport Express speakers, the way it was doing before I turned on mirroring. It seems that mirroring turns off the airport express stations.

My MacBook Air won't stay off. I turn it off and it will wait anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours and turn itself back on. You can see how that can get annoying and I can't seem to solve the problem.

There's a slight chance this might help:

Otherwise it needs to be repaired.

How do I convert an e-mail into a Word file that can be edited and printed?

I received an e-mail from a relative that I want to convert into a Word file that can be edited and printed?

Go to appleid.apple.com to manage the ID, sign in. If you are using two-step verification on the ID, select the Name, ID and Email Addresses section, then change the birth date on the bottom right. If you are using security questions instead of two-step verification, select the Password and Security Question and answer the two security question to access and change the birth date. At the present time you may not be able to enter the correct birth date, but you should be able to change it to 1/1/2001, which will have child ID status.
