Any Advice for 4:3 and 16:9 Menu DVD Authoring / Scripting?

Hi all,
Working on my first DVD with both 4:3 and 16:9 menus. I was wondering if anyone has advice, pointers, things to watch out for, tips, etc...
I want it to be completely automated so I am using scripts to check SPRMS, jump to menus depending, etc and so far so good. But I am encountering a few issues and sure there will be more.
Here's a question - this is a music concert DVD and each song is a chapter in a track. I have the menu button for each chapter assigned to the Select A Song menu and that track's button is selected.
How can I keep this functionality but also keep the 4:3/16:9 menu ability? Do I need to write a script for each chapter marker?
Thanks everybody.
Jason

That sure is easier, thanks. I might just finish via scripting to figure it all out but if something doesn't work it's real good to have this way.
I guess the only drawback is not being able to fully utilize the 16:9 screen real estate. It's probably worth it for most cases.
Thanks,
Jason

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

I found a solution !!!
The problem is that the font SEGOE UI MAGER (one of the fonts) is not installed.
When you go on this link, you can download the missing font !
http://fontzone.net/font-details/Segoe+UI/
download this, open it and go on install !
Then you open your Itunes and your Text is there again. Maybe its a little bit to big but, its there !!!
Wish you a nice day !! :-D

Do you know any program for 3d modeling and rendering for Mac?

Do you know any program for 3d modeling and rendering for Mac?

I use MegaPov for 3D-rendering. MegaPov is a Mac version of the free PovRay, a photrealistic renderer. It is perfect, if you like to write animation scripts to program elaborate animations and shading.
If you prefer a GUI to a scripting language you may consider Blender; it is also free.
Rather expensive, but with an elaborate GUI are Maya and Cinema 4D; both are available for the mac.

Any charge for free app and issues at Apple Store?

In case we need to create free issues or even apps for iPad (from a non-profit organization), what will the incurred costs be through the whole process?
i.e. From the time of development of issues and the app in which the issues may work - is there any registration or license fees involved, till it reaches all customers - provided the package is for free?
Any charge for free app and issues at Apple Store for iOS apps for iPad?

You must pay the USD$99 fee to join the Individual Developer Program.
After that, there is no fee to put free apps into the iOS App Store.

Need some graphics card advice for using 3D and Adobe

Below are the specs for the workstation I just bought. I'm planning on upgrading the graphics card to a GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB. The chassis is pretty small, and I'm concerned that it might get too hot. Does anyone have any advice as to whether this machine can handle this card, and whether or not I should by extra fans, or a water cooling system for the card? Thanks in advance!

Here are the major failings of that "workstation":
1) The power supply is much too weak to handle an upgrade to a GTX 570. Heck, that PSU might not have been capable of actually handling even its claimed 350W - but more like 200W. As such, it's barely capable of handling even that "workstation"'s base configuration with integrated Intel HD 2000 graphics. You will definitely need a new power supply (at least 550W, but preferably 750W to 850W) right away before you can even upgrade the graphics card at all.
2) That PC has only one hard disk. Adobe requires a minimum of at least one additional hard disk (preferably two or more additional disks) in order to run Premiere Pro acceptably well.
3) Change out the H67 motherboard for a Z68 motherboard. H67 cannot overclock the "limited-overclockable" i7-2600 CPU at all. And even with a Z68 motherboard, the fastest that you can run that non-K i7-2600 would be 3.9GHz.
4) As you stated, that small case will not be enough. You will need a much bigger case to handle the load from Premiere Pro plus all of the hardware upgrades that I'm suggesting.
Also, keep in mind that the company only offers "lifetime" technical support if you don't tinker with the PC's innards at all - not even a minor hardware upgrade or only for a vendor-approved hardware upgrade such as RAM. Once you open that case for a non-vendor-approved hardware upgrade (e.g. an upgraded power supply, an upgraded GPU or upgraded cooling), you will no longer have technical support from that company that you're getting the PC from.
As currently equipped, that system will run about 25 to 30 times slower than a fast PC. Look at payal's 622-second result running 5.0.3 on the PPBM5 results list, with the same CPU, chipset and integrated graphics as your system: It is already more than 12 times slower (in terms of the Relative Performance Index) than a fast system - and that system is already running two disks. With only one disk for absolutely everything - the OS, media, projects, previews, cache and exports - it would be much slower than even that because SATA is only a half-duplex interface, not a full-duplex interface. As a half-duplex interface, SATA can only deliver data transfers in one direction at a time. However, video editing programs like PPro require simultaneous reads and writes. This means that the single disk must wait for data transfers in a given direction to be completed before any data starts transferring in the opposite direction.

Need advice for future design and hardware I should purchase now.

I was wondering if someone could assist me in making a decision on where I should take the future design of my network. Currently the design has no redundancy and I've been told recently that my company has a bit of money to spend and that it needs to spend it within the next 2 weeks. I am fairly new to the company so haven't been able to really think about future redundant designs nor have I studied much about designing networks. There are about 200-300 people that may be using my network at once, all users aren't at the location in question but they may be asking for resources from our servers.
I've included a basic design of the "core" of my network and would like any suggestions for creating redundancy in the future and also optimizing the way data travels to our servers. Do people generally have redundant Layer 3 switches for the core in small networks such as mine? I will be replacing the 2811 since it only has 100Mbps connections and was thinking, perhaps replace this with a Layer 3 switch with the plan to have another identical Layer 3 switch installed to offer redundancy in the future.
Also, would it be a good idea to move the servers into a vlan on the core? Thanks for any advice on what I should be purchasing now with plans for redundancy being implemented over a year. -Mark

40k Can go pretty quick depending on the scope. Your server farm especially should be dual-homed capable of surviving link, hardware, routing, and software failure.
It's going to be best practice your server farm be in it's logical subnet, so failover mechanism can be controlled routing protocols, as opposed to FHRP's such as HSRP/VRRP/GLBP. Especially since you adjust routing timers to sub-second convergence.
Budget will be the primary limitation (as it always it) but ideally dual 6500's running VSS and FWSM would be the ideal way. Data centers should be designed with high availability in mind, hence the need to 2x devices.
Depending on the size of the SAN/Virtual infrastructure Nexus might want to be considered but you will chew up 40k before you know it.
Also make sure the server farm is scaled properly. Your server farms should be oversubscribed in a much higher ratio compared to your access layer.

Any advice on mixing broadcom and intel iscsi nics between hyper-v hosts?

Hello,
Way back in 2008 when we configured our virtualized datacenter (used Virtual Iron, now defunct) it was recommended practice to use identical iscsi cards for all hostnodes. We have since migrated to hyper-v 2008 r2, and are now moving on to hyper-v
2012 r2. We are currently spec'ing out a new hostnode, and I'm looking for advice on whether it's still the recommended practice to keep all iscsi cards as similar as possible.
The hosts will be connected to a MD3220i SAN.
The reason I'm asking is because we currently use Broadcom's 5709c's in all our hosts. They have had their problems, so I'd like to move away from them. Right now I have my eye on the Intel i350's. It's a choice between the two since those
are the only affordable offers we have. I did a quick search online and found that Intel iscsi cards are much preferred over Broadcoms. It's not in our budget to switch out all existing cards with intel's, so I'm wondering if it's now considered
relatively safe practice to let iscsi cards from different manufacturers play together, since the technology has become more mature. Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks in advance

Yes, it is still a recommended practice to use the same vendor for critical components across the cluster. But it is not a requirement. It is recommended to use common hardware because management/troubleshooting is easier. If there is a networking
problem and you are using two different vendors, which one is NOT going to say to contact the other vendor because, of course, it is not 'my' problem.
You will also get some warnings in the cluster validation wizard. These are warnings, so they don't prevent the building of the cluster, but they are warnings for good reason.
Anytime you have two different vendors, that is going to be a potential point of problem when you need to debug. And because neither vendor is likely to test their environment with the other vendor's products, they may say they don't support the configuration
you are trying to put together. So even though the validation wizard accepts it with warnings, you may end up with something that is unsupported by the NIC vendors. Ask them what their stance is.

Advice for moving to, and updating Aperture on, new computer?

I am moving to a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, from a 6-year-old MacBook Pro. I'm looking for tips to make the transition smoother.
I will be upgrading to the newest version of Aperture. I currently have Aperture 3.4.5. Everything is all on my laptop. The Aperture file is 938 MB, and is SLOW! It's barely usable as it is.
I will be using TimeCapsule to transfer files. My current OS is 10.7.5.
Should I update Aperture before I move it? Should I move it, and then update it? Should I (somehow!) "disconnect" the files from the program and then reconnect them after they are transferred?
I'd like to make this transition as painless as possible!
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

1. You can't update Aperture past 3.4.5 from 10.8.5 or earlier. You need to move it and then perform the update.
2. See #1.
3. No. Just keep a backup of them.
4. If you got Aperture from a DVD and the new computer's running Yosemite, you'll probably need to contact Apple to perform the update.

Any advice for teacher struggling with scratch disk problems?

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone out there has advice for me. I am a Media Teacher with very little technical expertise. We use Premiere Elements 4.0 in my school. This is accessible to students on the school network but is located on a separate drive. I am experienceing a lot of problems at the moment which I suspect may be to do with having multiple users. The students work in groups. Some of them do not seem to be able to access their current coursework - a scratch disk error message comes up and they are asked if they want to locate the scratch disks into their own area of the school network. As personal space is very limited, they always say no, and then cannot access the projects. Other students do not have this problem. The scratch disks are located by default to the same drive as the main work.
A further problem is that in one project, the clips in the second half of the project seem to be 'offline'. I have seen this before and have been able to fix it by locating the clip in the project menu and using 'locate media' to reconnect it. However, this time round, the clip can be seen and runs perfectly in the project menu. It also looks as normal on the timeline. It is only in the viewing window that it comes up as offline. The locate media option isn't available. If I save as an avi, the offline message appears, so the project burns as it appears in the viewing window. If I drag the clips down from the project area and reconstruct, everything plays normally until I close the project down and open it again, when the clips are back offline. I can tell something strange is going on because the project is loading very quickly - it was taking a couple of minutes previously.
Any advice at all would be welcome, as we are near the end of the coursework and the projects we can't access represent a term's work for the students!

You may need to contact Adobe Tech Support for your specific needs.
Is Premiere Elements installed on your network or on the C drives of each computer? The program must be installed on the C drive in order to work properly. You can't run the program from a network installation, and that could explain why you're having the problems you're having.
If you've got Premiere Elements installed on your C drive, you should be able to access your video files if they're stored on the network. But this depends on how your network is set up. It may not be possible for all of your students to access material out on your network drive and remain connected to it the same way every time you open your project.
In other words, you're using the program in ways it's not designed to be used. This is why you may need to contact Tech Suport and see if they can recommend a solution, short of each student having their own complete installation on each computer.

Any tutorial for building adapters and routing services for JBI container ?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
is there any tutorial for Sun JBI container ?
I want to know how i can build/deploy JBI components like adapters and routing service for Sun JBI container .
another question is that , is it based on OpenESB ?
thanks

You can find a white paper on writing a JBI service engine here:
http://java.sun.com/integration/reference/techart/DevelopingAServiceEngineComponent-1-2.pdf
Also, there is a lot of information on JBI and Open ESB here:
http://java.sun.com/integration/
You ask if the Sun JBI container is based on Open ESB - it's actually the other way around: Open ESB is based on the Sun JBI container. The JBI container is a JSR208-compliant implementation, and Open ESB builds upon that implementation to add full ESB capabilities.
hope this helps -

Any chance for the "away" and "busy" statuses to make it back into Skype for Android?

I recently realized that the new (well new as of early July) Skype for Android is missing the "away" and "busy" statuses (and perhaps some other one as well). I've seen other users around this forum mentioning the same thing, but it's unclear to me whether this was done intentionally or not. Are there any chances for these statuses to be added back? And if not what has been reasoning behind the decision of taking them out? - Adriano

There is another topic, addressing this issue and also explaining it pretty good:http://community.skype.com/t5/Android/Regression-in-4-0-Away-and-Busy-statuses-not-visible/td-p/1729768Unfortunately it doesn’t have much kudos either, even though it is pretty old. The worst about it is, that you aren’t even able to see the real status of your contacts: Contacts who have their status set to “away” are shown as online. Contacts who have it set to “busy” are shown as offline. (Which is even worse…)This simply can’t be intentional. Also.. It's been possible in older skype versions for android, it's also possible on ios.. So where is the need to get rid of the busy/away status in the new android version?
