Automatic Data Rate... not automatic?

Excuse a newbie question: In the Encore User Guide it says that Encore can set the data rate automatically. I have a show that is 2 hours and 9 minutes long but when I try to burn it I am getting an error message saying that it won't fit on my 4.7 GB DVD. To me "automatically" means that the program will figure out what settings to use when burning the DVD so it will fit, but do I have this wrong? If not, then how I do I set the "automatic data rate" option? No documentation seems to address this. I understand I can go in and re-transcode the video at whatever data rate I want but that doesn't seem very "automatic" to me.

The video needs to be transcoded in Encore using the Automatic setting. If you brought in an asset that was already in MPEG format, there's nothing for Encore to figure out.
You'll have to reexport out of Premiere as something like a DV AVI, and reauthor your project using that asset in order to get the benefit of the Automatic transcode setting.

WAP4410N firmware 2.0.4.2 bug: 300Mbps data rate not possible

I've spent parts of the past five days buying and exchanging several WAP4410N units because I was not able to achieve anything close to a 300Mbps data rate. I also tried various wireless-n network cards which were known to be configured correctly for 300Mbps speeds with no luck.
The highest speed I was able to achieve was 130Mbps, which is an indication that channel bonding is not in effect.
Then I came across another post in the forums:
WAP4410N does not exceed 130Mbps in N mode at close range.
where the OP mentions recently upgrading to firmware 2.0.4.2, though not treating that as the cause of his problems.
On a lark, I tried downgrading to both firmware 2.0.2.1 and firmware 2.0.3.3, and to my surprise, I was able to achieve the full 300Mbps data rate with both firmware versions.
When I reverted back to 2.0.4.2, I was not able to achieve the full 300Mbps data rate.
So, right now, I downgraded to firmware 2.0.3.3 so I can get the higher data rate, though there are other quirks to deal with.
Furthermore, when I do a web search of reviews, I can see that the inability to achieve the 300Mbps data rate is a huge source of complaints.
Cisco, please fix this firmware!
Edited to add: I found another post regarding the same phenomenon:
WAP4410n LIMITED TO 130Mbs in N-mode

Hi James,
When I bought the WAP4410N I was still using Vista and a beta of Windows 7 x64. My PC was reporting 300Mbps but I never believed it and just figured this was better then the Linksys Wap54g with DD-WRT. I was only showing 54Mbps on my laptops but the amount of data I could download over a minute was better then the WAP4410N. The best speed I can achieve (but only lasts a few minutes) is 130Mbps from the WAP4410N and downloads are painfully slow. Using a desktop gadget "network meter" on one of my desktop PCs with a wireless N USB adapter it is showing a speed of 54Mbps and a signal strength of 70% at a distance of 4 feet from the WAP4410N. At this distance I also experience interruptions in connection and poor performance. I do not know if my WAP4410N is defective but a beta firmware is to be released this month that is supposed to help. I have had to recommend other brands in this price range to those wishing to buy a stable product as this performance is not acceptable. My network is mostly GigaLan devices and strangely the intelligent switch reports the WAP4410N as running at 100Mbps with the firmware set the 1000Mbps so there is another mystery.
Best regards,
Brad

Could not automatically scale X because monitoring data was not found

I have never been able to get Auto-Scaling by CPU to work. I have created new cloud services, waited days before setting it up, but this warning always gets generated when it tries to scale:

My calendar date is not automatically changing, what's the proper setting?

My calendar date is not automatically changing, what's the proper setting?

If the population of the ObservableList (independent of any UI considerations takes a long time, then you probably want to do the populations off the JavaFX application thread (e.g. via a javafx.concurrent.Task)).
If you do populate the list in a Task, standard threading cautions apply in terms of not updating items in the scene graph off the JavaFX application thread and ensuring that the system is absent of race conditions, etc.
Look over the documentation of http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/javafx/scene/control/Cell.html and that may help you.
The JavaFX controls such as ListView have been carefully designed to exhibit high performance even when backed by extremely large lists (through the concept of virtualization explained in the Cell documentation). For example, if the backing list is updated but the portion of the list being updated is not within the currently displayed list contents, (I would hope) the update would be very efficient.

Hi Venkat
i suggest you to go thru the dev guide ..... but to answer your question i would say....
**** It looks like "Define Information Template" form only accepts Independent Value Sets and not table based Value Sets (thatinvolve SQL statements).
Well in OAF to display a dropdown list all you need is a query .. so one can write a query to extract the values from a independent value set .... but the same is not possible with table type value set instead you can use the same query used to define the table type value set .
You can create a LOV (one with flash light) even with a independent value set ....
To create a LOV you need a View Object(query which will fetch valid records) and a Public Region (to display)
if you ahve these then you can achive the requirement thru personalization
if the VO and Region are not present then you have to create them .......
Once you are thru the dev guide please go thru the link below which shows adding a lov to an existing page thru personalization....

Encoded video does not have expected data rate

Hi
I've been encoding with Flash Media Encoder (CS3) recently
and come across a contradiction which I can't seem to make sense
of. Can it be possible that the longer the video, the harder it is
for the encoder to maintain data rate?
This was revealed when I started using FMS2 (space on a
shared server as opposed to my own server). I encoded a video at
what I thought was a data rate which was within my data rate limit
for my stream and it stuttered on playback over the stream. The FMS
supplier informed me that the FLV I thought I'd encoded at 400kbps
video 96 kbps audio actually had a data rate of around 700kbps in
total. But if I open the video in a FLV player, and look at info,
it still shows the setting I originally intended. However, my
supplier suggested checking data rate using this equation:
(filesize in MB x 8)/videoduration in seconds = video
datarate in kbits/sec
If you apply this calculation to my video it does indeed show
what they said:
Using Flash Media Encoder:
Encoded at 400kbps video - 96 kbps audio
Compressed filesize = 26,517 kbytes
Duration = 240 seconds
CALCULATION GIVES DATE RATE OF 880k/b a second
(note file contains an alpha channel)
Furthermore, applied to a shorter video, we get the following
more logical results:
Encoded at 400kbps video - 96 kbps audio
Compressed filesize = 6,076 kbytes
Duration = 90 seconds
CALCULATION GIVES DATA RATE OF 527 kb/sec
(no alpha channel)
The only differences between the two vids is the alpha
channel and the duration. Somethings doesn't add up here.
Any clues?
Thanks
Simon

I've just partly answered my own question. Funny how writing
a post can help you think your problem through sometimes.
The issue is the alpha channel, which adds to the file size
thereby making the data rate "incorrect". In other words, the same
file encoded without the alpha channel provides the expected
results. I guess this changes my question to: How do I create
predicatable data rates when encoding using an alpha channel. I
could just estimate of course and see what comes out, but is there
a better way?
SImon.

Dual data rate stream problem

I am streaming a live source that is being encoded at 2 different data rates. One is a 360Kbps stream, the other is a 28Kbps stream (for dial up users). I have created a reference movie that contains URLs for each of these streams. The high speed one is characterized as requiring 384Kbps DSL/Cable. The second is set to 56Kbps Modem/ISDN.
I have a Mac Mini and a PC on my desktop, both connected to my streaming server directly via the LAN. Both are running Quicktime 7.4.1. Both have their Quicktime Preference for Streaming Speed set for Automatic (The Quicktime default).
The PC always selects the high speed stream. The Mac always selects the low speed stream. The only way to make the Mac pick the correct stream is to set the streaming speed preference manually. I have even tried rebuilding the reference movie, setting the required data rate to as low as 112Kbps, but still the Mac refuses to believe it can handle that speed and picks the other one. The bandwidth to the server is actually in the Mbps range, and the stream plays just fine when it is forced to play through manual configuration.
Does anyone have any insight into why this is a problem? Better yet, does anybody have a way of making this work that doesn't involve having to explain to every user how to change their preferences?
By the way, it's not just my desktop Mac that behaves this way, the same is true for systems coming in from the outside. I'm not sure that it is necessarily clear cut that Macs always fail and PCs always succeed, or what the story is with other Quicktime releases.

How about some more information on the memory you purchasaed. If you purchased (2) 2GB sticks of memory the motherboard only supports 1GB of memory per slot and they will not function properly. Is the Patriot RAM single side or double side and did it work before you installed the 2GB modules??

PGC has an error--data rate of this file is too high for DVD

Getting one of those seemingly elusive PGC errors, though mine seems to be different from many of the ones listed here. Mine is telling me that the data rate of my file is too high for DVD. Only problem is, the file it's telling me has a datarate that is too high, is a slideshow which Encore has built using imported jpg files. I got the message, tried going into the slideshow and deleting the photo at the particular spot in the timeline where it said it had the problem, now getting the same message again with a different timecode spot in the same slideshow. The pictures are fairly big, but I assumed that Encore would automatically resize them to fit an NTSC DVD timeline. Do I need to open all the pictures in Photoshop and scale them down to 720x480 before I begin with the slideshows?

With those efforts, regarding the RAM, it would *seem* that physical memory was not the problem.
I'd look to how Windows is managing both the RAM addresses and also its Virtual Memory. To the former, I've seen programs/Processes that lock certain memory addresses upon launch (may be in startup), and do not report this to Windows accurately. Along those lines, you might want to use Task Manager to see what Processes are running from startup on your machine. I'll bet that you've got some that are not necessary, even if IT is doing a good job with the system setup. One can use MSCONFIG to do a trial of the system, without some of these.
I also use a little program, EndItAll2 for eliminating all non-necessary programs and Processes, when doing editing. It's freeware, has a tiny footprint and usually does a perfect job of surveying your running programs and Processes, to shut them down. You can also modify its list, incase it wants to shut down something that IS necessary. I always Exit from my AV, spyware, popup-blocker, etc., as these progams will lie to EndItAll2 and say that they ARE necessary, as part of their job. Just close 'em out in the Tasktray, then run EndItAll2. Obviously, you'll need to do this with the approval of IT, but NLE machines need all available resources.
Now, to the Virtual Memory. It is possible that Windows is not doing a good job of managing a dynamic Page File. Usually, it does, but many find there is greater stability with a fixed size at about 1.5 to 2.5x the physical RAM. I use the upper end with great results. A static Page File also makes defragmenting the HDD a bit easier too. I also have my Page File split over two physical HDD's. Some find locating to, say D:\ works best. For whatever reason, my XP-Pro SP3 demanded that I have it on C:\, or split between C:\ and D:\. Same OS on my 3 HDD laptop was cool having it on D:\ only. Go figure.
These are just some thoughts.
Glad that you got part of it solved and good luck with the next part. Since this seems to affect both PrPro and En, sounds system related.
Hunt
PS some IT techs love to add all sorts of monitors to the computers, especially if networkded. These are not usually bad, but are usually out of the mainstream, in that most users will never have most of these. You might want to ask about any monitors. Also, are you the only person with an NLE computer under the IT department? In major business offices, this often happens. Most IT folk do not have much, if any, experience with graphics, or NLE workstations. They spend their days servicing database, word processing and spreadsheet boxes.

Data Rate connection query / SNR

Hi All
I have BT Infinity upto 40MB at my local cabinet.
The BT checker says my line can get upto 24MB which I've always been happy with.
I have always got around the 19MB mark but looking at my connection stats I am wondering if I should get more speed?
My Data Rate for connection is always 19991 and SNR up is aroud 6 and SNR down is usually 15-20.
You can see my current connection stats in the table below.
I don't understand why the 'Attainable Rate' shows as '40867'.
Am I missing something simple?
Cheers for looking

Best Data Rate for Export to DVD as Quicktime Movie

Hello - hope someone out there can help me!!!
I put together a slideshow for my high school reunion using iMovie HD 5.0.2 and need help with settings exporting it as a Quicktime movie.
*I want to export it to a DVD* so that I can play it on a friend's laptop and I'm not sure if iDVD would be the way to go - my friend has a Macbook Pro I can borrow so it might be okay - I am worried about the fact that I've been working on older software. (I have read about opening iDVD and bringing in iMovie project vs. "share to iDVD"). So they suggested instead of iDVD I just export as a quicktime. Then I can burn it in Toast (v.6.0.2)
Wondering about *BEST DATA RATE?*
In export settings I have:
compressor set at H.264
frame rate: current (should that be DV-NTSC?)
key frames: automatic (?)
encoding: best quality/multi-pass
should data rate be automatic?
Some details that might be relevant to helping me:
*Stills brought in as clips with cross-dissolves, only two uses of "Ken Burns effect"
*Some stills were in the project from my LAST reunion - I realize I should have reimported all the stills since I am now recompressing them, but it's too late now!
*no audio
*Slideshow is about 45 mins long, file size says 5.52GB although when I looked into exporting it last night it said 9+GB - not sure why
*Using a G4 Tower (not my ancient laptop) with OS 10.4.11, Dual 533MHz PowerPC, 1.5GB SDRAM
iDVD version is 6.0.4
please help if you can!! thank you in advance...

Are you trying to burn a standard DVD or are you trying to put a QuickTime .mov file on DVD media?
A standard DVD doesn't worry about file size (only the duration).
A "data" DVD is limited to the type of media used. A single layer DVD is about 3.7 GB's.
In order to make a data DVD you need to keep the data rate low enough to not exceed the DVD media playback abilities. They can't handle the higher rates found in many of the preset options.
You can avoid all of these headaches by telling the viewer to "copy" the .mov file from the DVD to their Desktop. Then nearly any of the presets option will work.
H.264 is a great video codec and the "automatic" preset should work just fine. Use "multi-pass" for best quality (takes a very long time). Remove the check mark for "Audio" since your file has none. Leave it checked and you waste file size because a silent audio track would be added.

Best Data rate and format for Big Screen Playback

I am a video producer supplying content for a tradeshow display consisting of 18 flat screens oriented vertically, 8 over 8. Very heavy duty Windows playback machine, with 3 graphics cards, 1 for each set of 6 monitors. The total pixel size is 3240x 1280 px. We have produced a number of full screen and smaller movies that the interactive programmer is trying to intergrate into a Flash program where some videos will play full screen, and others in smaller windows (those were produced in 1920x1080). All videos were mastered at the specified pixel count, square pixels, progressive, and output in Pro Res 422, 44.1K audio. Flash is being used to create the interface, and I am transcoding to .F4V at lower bit rates like 4, 6, and 9 Mbps. They are having trouble playing these movies back smoothly. We have done similar projects in the past with Director without issue. Of course they are blaming the video, I am offering to encode in any format at any data rate they suggest. Can anyone suggest a direction here?

I can cable directly to the ISP modem, taking TC and AE out of the equation, and its smokin fast

You have your wireless channels on auto.. it is usually better to control it.
You will notice I have different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz.. then I can force the link to either band.
After you set Radio Channel selection to Manual,, click edit. You can then set the channels.
Lock the channels.. ie you take control and you set what the wireless channels will be.. when you extend wireless this works far better. The auto channel system has to run on the Extender.. but since the main base is fixed on the 2.4ghz so it will be also.. the only channel that can flap around is 5ghz (extender) since that is not under my control. Of course it is up to you to determine which channel works best.. I strongly recommend the upper channels for 2.4ghz and the lower channels for 5ghz.
So.. I have set 5ghz to 48 on the main base.. and the auto channel sets it to 149 in the extender.
One strange thing results from my setup .. (amongst many!!)
You cannot name the wireless for 5ghz in the extender.. so in my case the upstairs wireless extender has both 2.4ghz and 5ghz named TC24ghz.. nought that I can do about it. But it is not a big deal.
You can see the result in the wireless diagnostics. The last wireless I have put in the box.. it is named TC24ghz but is in fact running on 5ghz. That is just how the over automated system of the apple routers work.. If I could I would fix it.. and maybe shall via serial console at a later date.

Automatic Data Rate... not automatic?
