AVCHD strategy

PLEASE HELP!!! I just ordered a HF100 and am trying to devise a record/archive/playing strategy. Will this work?
Buy several 4 Gig SDHC cards.
1. Fill 4 Gig SD card with vid
2. Use iMovie to import, edit and save on DVD-R or +R for Sony Blu-ray player playback in HD.
3. Back up the same 4 gig card using DiscUtility with a 4 gig disc image and burn to a 4-gig DVD-R or +R.
4. Play back said DVD-R or +R on my Sony Blu-ray player if I want to.
The idea is fill 4-gig SD cards, then offload them to cheap 4 gig DVD-R. These can be used later for editing or quick playback in Sony Blu-ray player. I know I'll only get 1/2 hour of vid, but that's fine. I usually shoot short performances and sequences.
I'm pretty sure the newest version of toast will make this easier, but is it necessary?
Just looking for a Mac solution as I don't have a PC. Thank you Mac Users! I couldn't find a simple step-by for making AVCHD vids on a mac! THANK YOU !!!!

Hi,
When you connect your camera and open imovie 09 it gives you the option to "Achieve" the original files.............I send mine to a portable hard drive, do this before you start your editing.

AVCHD Archive Strategy

I just purchased a Canon Vixia HF100 for personal use. I wanted to back up the AVCHD files prior to importing into Final Cut or iMovie (I wanted to back up the raw files prior to the conversion that takes place upon import).
My thought was to use Toast 9 do backup to DVD. When I open the AVCHD pane with my camera connected nothing shows up.

Don't use Toast. Just copy the entire PRIVATE directory to your hard drive. Then if you want to burn them to DVDROM, use the Finder...

Capture of avchd video

Camera Panasonic HC-V500 recording to SD memory card. Which setting for capture to computer do I use? The setting on the camera is 1080/50p. So far previewing imported movies seems jerky and editing clips very hit-and-miss.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system.
For now, I will assume Premiere Elements 11 Windows, using your 1080p50 footage.
If you are transferring the AVCHD 1080p50 from "camera with memory card inserted" to computer and saving it to computer hard drive..then for Premiere Elements 11:
Add Media/Files and Folders/and into Project Assets from where you drag the 1080p50 to the Expert workspace Timeline.
At that point, the project is supposed to set automatically the right project preset based on this first drag video to the Timeline. In this case it should be setting
PAL
AVCHD
AVCHD 1080p50
Check it out via, Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size.
If the project has not done it correctly, then you set the project preset manually to the setting that I cited. To do that
File Menu/New/Project
Make sure to have a check mark next to Force Selected Project Setting on this Project.
Then import your 1080p50 via Premiere Elements Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets and then to the Timeline.
If you are transferring the AVCHD 1080p50 from "camera with memory card inserted" to Premiere Elements...then
open Premiere Elements 11
set the project preset manually as described above
then, with your camera connected to the computer via USB,
Add Media/Video from Flip or Camera/Video Importer and its "Get Media" button to put the 1080p in Project Assets and
on the Expert workspace Timeline.
There should be no orange line over the Timeline content in either case when the video first arrives on the Timeline. After you edit, yes, but
then you Render the Timeline to get the best possible preview of what you are seeing on the Edit Mode Monitor screen.
Please review and then we can plan any troubleshooting strategy accordingly.
Thanks.

Questions on SAP Strategy Management

Dear Experts,
I am very new to SAP Strategy Management (SSM). I already tried to find some information about it in the web, but unfortunately most documents only provide high level information (mostly marketing slides). Therefore I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:
1. SSM provides charts for data visualization. Is there an overview of supported chart types? Is there a source which gives further information about chart customization?
2. SSM provides a collaboration functionality that enables user to add comments. Can comments only be maintained on query level, or also by navigation state (e.g. comment is only shown, when navigating to Calendar Year 2006 and Company Code 4711)?
3. Is it possible to print comments / export comments combined with charts / reports to PDF
4. Can users upload documents (e.g. MS Word docs)?
5. A new version was just released which is supposed to have a better integration with SAP BI. What are the improvements in terms of integration? How can SAP BI data be accessed?
6. What are the current system requirements for SSM?
7. Where can a documentation on SSM be found (I could unfortunately only find an installation guide on service.sap.com)?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Marco,
Here is some information about SAP Strategy Management:
1. SSM provides charts for data visualization. Is there an overview of supported chart types? Is there a source which gives further information about chart customization?
Strategy Management provides out-of-the-box packaged reporting templates: Benchmarking, Trending, Percent Contributions within subtotals, Exceptions, Rankings, Ad-Hoc reporting of multiple dimensions & metrics.
With Strategy Management, you can also provide links to reports or charts in other applications for further drill-down or exploration.
2. SSM provides a collaboration functionality that enables user to add comments. Can comments only be maintained on query level, or also by navigation state (e.g. comment is only shown, when navigating to Calendar Year 2006 and Company Code 4711)?
Comments are added by users to specific areas and can be defined as to which user groups have access or visibility to these comments. These comments are directly associated with a specific area (i.e. objective, KPI, initiative, etc.) with a tagging icon to show individual users if there are new, unread, comments since their last access to system.
Comments are added at the user interface level and would be stored in either the MaxDB or SQL database, depending on how the implementation was configured.
3. Is it possible to print comments / export comments combined with charts / reports to PDF
Strategy Management has an Operational Review function that allows users to capture screenshots, annotate them and publish as a pdf report.
4. Can users upload documents (e.g. MS Word docs)?
Throughout Strategy Management is the ability to provide links to other reports, internal or external documentation, as well as other applications. Best practices would have an associated link to documents.
5. A new version was just released which is supposed to have a better integration with SAP BI. What are the improvements in terms of integration? How can SAP BI data be accessed?
The improvements are an administrator tool that provides a basic user interface to simplify the handling of BI connectivity: importing schemas, defining virtual measures, creating scorecard metrics, and importing data.
6. What are the current system requirements for SSM?
That information can be found in the installation guides.There is a Master Guide and a Sizing Guide which will both be helpful.
7. Where can a documentation on SSM be found (I could unfortunately only find an installation guide on service.sap.com)?
The best public resource for documention about SSM is the BPX Community> Enterprise Performance Management
Hope this is helpful,
Bob

HT5622 I have been using one apple ID for my family as it makes it easier to manage itunes purchases/rentals on all of our devices. Now that my kids are getting old and my wife has recently purchased an Iphone, I can see that I need to change my strategy

I have been using one apple ID for my family as it makes it easier to manage itunes purchases/rentals on all of our devices. Now that my kids are getting old and my wife has recently purchased an Iphone, I can see that I need to change my strategy. I plan to add a few more iphones to the family very soon. What is your recommendation to manage all of our devices (iphones, itouch, apple tv) for my family? Can I continue to function with one apple ID or is it time to take the leep into attempting to manage multi-apple ID's?

There's a few ways of managing multiple devices on a single computer (and keeping seperate content on each). The following document is worth checking through:
How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

Multiple websites, multiple woes: Best IWeb 09/MobileMe strategy?

I'm still a bit confused as to the best strategy for using IWeb 09's much-touted-in-reviews but apparently rather limited ability to publish to two or more separate MobileMe accounts.
In IWeb 08, I would set up several different user accounts on my Mac, associate each one with a separate MobileMe account from my Family Pack, and maintain separate domain files for each (all stored in the same folder on my hard drive, but given different names like "Domain_personal" or "Domain_business"). This worked fairly well, despite the inconvenience of sometimes not having a photo I wanted to use readily available, as it might be part of an IPhoto library that belonged to another account.
(I would generally log-in to the user account I wanted to use and work on the MobileMe domain file I had "assigned" to that account. But now and then I might forget, and start working on a domain file for the "wrong" Mac user account. That didn't seem to be a problem -- I could still save my latest changes, log out and then log in to the "right" user account, where I could publish my revised domain file to the intended MobileMe account.)
But in IWeb 09, my previous strategy is resulting in a slew of problems. Unexpected crashes. Or IWeb refusing to save a file after I've changed it (it just tells me the file cannot be saved, no explanation). Or images and/or video files that will suddenly go missing. Last night I found that one domain file/site I had published over and over with no problems in Iweb 08, now appeared to be a complete mess in IWeb 09 -- numerous missing images, including some png files that are apparently part of the Apple-supplied IWeb design template. Yet the graphics (mine and Apple's) were suddenly back when I opened that same domain file in another user account on my Mac.
So my IWeb 08 strategy does not seem to be working in IWeb 09. I guess an alternative would be: Do all my IWeb work in the same user account, swap domain files as I'd been doing before, and reset my MobileMe identity for that user account every time I want to publish. Or -- essentially the same thing -- use IWeb's ability to maintain multiple sites in the same domain file. But once again, I'd typically need to manually change my MobileMe identity to a different account at publishing time, to get an individual site going to the right place. And hope like heck that I don't accidentally mess up ICal, etc., by accidentally syncing to "wrong" Mobile Me account, to which I've logged in solely to accommodate IWeb.
Am I missing something here? Is there some logical reason why Apple would set up IWeb 09 to allow you to publish multiple sites, stored in one domain file, to various multiple external sites via FTP with ease? But make it essentially impractical to publish to several different MobileMe accounts, without the hassles I've mentioned?
It seems to me that if I want to use IWeb 09 for multiple web sites, the only sane thing is to drop my extra MobileMe accounts as soon as possible, and add some more external sites --- since (if you can do the RSS, etc., yourself) Apple has just made it so much easier to publish to anywhere-else-but-MobileMe.
Anybody have a different take on this? Or a better solution?

The following may not be a better solution, but it does provide a different "take". I haven't tried it myself, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a fatal flaw in the idea. Anyway, taking that risk...
Since we don't know what, in iWeb '09, is causing your "slew of problems", it's not possible to say whether this proposed approach would make any difference. But in theory it would enable you to:
• maintain your separate Domain files
• publish to your multiple MobileMe accounts
• from the same user account on your Mac.
Take a look at this Apple doc:
MobileMe: How to publish a custom website
The idea is to publish your iWeb sites to different MobileMe accounts from a single Mac user account as +"custom websites"+ and, as that doc says:
"If you only plan to publish custom sites to your MobileMe account, you can make your site's URL shorter by placing your site (and its main index.html file) in the main Web/Sites folder instead."
...Presumably iWeb 09's integrated non-MobileMe publishing is FTP only, not WebDAV that iDisk requires. So you would need the free Cyberduck or pay for Transmit to publish your sites via WebDAV protocol to a MobileMe account's iDisk. And for a Domain you are about to publish, you would have to remember to use the appropriate MobileMe "destination" of the several you've set up to use in Cyberduck or Transmit.

Enforcing a strategy plan to only produce one order in a single month

Hello All,
I have created a strategy plan that kicks out orders monthly, quarterly, semi-annually and annually. I have used the cycle unit of "MON", so orders get generated in cycles of 30 days. Everything is working great.
Now, here's a business requirement: only one order can be created in a single month. So, if this strategy kicks out an order on 01/01/09, and they complete it the same day, the next order will be created for 1/30/09. What is the most effective way to enforce SAP to only allow creation of one order in a single month?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Alex

Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer Stops Working due to Sony AVCHD files

Hello I installed Adobe Photoshop elements and have been having trouble with it crashing.
To solve this problem I deleted my Catalog and added a Catalog with only one folder.
This folder has photos, in JPEG and Sony .ARW format as well as AVCHD files.
I found that by removiing the AVCHD files from the catalog the SW would no longer crash.
This really is not a practical solution since my PC has many folders with many AVC files.
I am trying to see if there is a SW patch or another way to address this issue.
Thanks,

It might work but this is not a practical solution.
I have many picture folders on my pc and several of these have AVC files.
My intention was to use Photo Shop Essentials to edit my pictures. Unfortunately the "Organizer" app crashes when trying to work with my Catalog.
I have narrowed it down to only happening when there are AVC files in my folders. I have seen others have this issue and I found the issue by what they recommended.
Sadly if I am unable to get this to work with my current folders I will have to dump Essentials for another application.

Batch search strategy based on goods receipt date

Hello,
Can some one help me with setting up Batch search strategy based on goods receipt date currently is on batch number.
Thanks a lot
Thanks!
Best Regards
Srw

Hi
If you want to set up Batch search strategy based on goods receipt date......then you have to create GR Date as one charecteristics in T.Code: CT04 and assign this charecter in Class with respect to class type 023
Then assign this class in Material Master Classification view..
Make sure in Material master, Purchasing view...you have activated Batch management active check box....
Then when ever you do GR in MIGO, In batch tab, In classification field maintain the GR Date..
Then Create sort sequence in T.Code: CU70 and you can maintain in what basis ie)in assending or desending GR Date you have to search the batch..
And then Create Batch Search Statergy in MBC1 and there you assign the sort sequence in Details...
Now you do your regular procedings.....the material Batch will be searched based on GR Date...
Reward if useful

Help importing/exporting AVCHD in FCP 6.0,6

I have been having numerous problems in Final Cut Pro for the proper procedure on how to Export HD footage at its fullest quality. I shoot with a Sony NX5U and after im done exporting the footage, it always looks terrible. meaning that the footage is distorted and when i go to view full screen it almost looks like Standard Definition... Im not shooting without any gain on the camera so i know that cant be a factor in this case. My import settings are.. Sequence settings " Apple Pro Res (HQ) 422 1920 x 1080 30P" (for when im shooting 30p of course) Capture Preset "HDV Apple Pro Res (HQ)" when i export as a "quicktime movie" set to current settings it always looks bad! I have been messing around with this for a while and i cant seem to figure out what it is that i am doing wrong.
Could it possibly be that i am using a older version of final cut that i dont have the current up to date capture preset/sequence settings?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

we just bought a volume license and were shipped 6.0.1 studio. the AVCHD plug in at the panasonic site shows a 6.02 and a 6.03 version. I went to the apple FCP support downloads and do not see an update to 6.03 or 6.02. these are on new IMacs in a tv lab.
thanks.

AVCHD manageable with FCP 5.1.4 and Intel iMac 2.16 MHz ?

Hi,
I am looking into a new camcorder Sony HDR XR 500 (520) and one of the reviews I have read mentions that the AVCHD format requires specific software and the latest computers. Do I have no chance to work those files with my current configuration? What would I need? Thanks!

Hi gogiangigo,
Thanks for that information!
I have read in the FCP 6 marketing page that AVCHD is supported natively — if the text syntax doesn't disguise the truth! But in some other comments I read, FCP will convert AVCHD on import into a transitional format and the files size is blown up. What's the truth about it?
And will a dual 1.5GHz PowerMac G5 also handle FCS 2 and AVCHD ? (seemingly not)

Why can't my new Macbook Pro not see individual MTS files on the sony cx700 flash drive? How do I get AVCHD MTS files off the camera not using imovie or FCP?

Hi,
I bought a new MacBook Pro (OS X version 10.8) recently to replace an older version. I work with different Sony cameras (Hard drive and flash drive storage), but when I connect the cameras (Sony Cx560, 700 and XR520) to the Mac it only shows an AVCHD icon. Usually you can see the individual files. We have 3 Macbook Pro's here and on 2 of them it works. Is there a setting or a driver I need to download for this new Mac? The other ones read it without intsalling anything.
Thanks for any tips.

There are two (and probably more than two) third party apps that will do this.
1) ClipWrap
2) Voltaic

CRM UI Strategy

Hi,
I hope most you know that SAP's UI strategy is ABAP webdynpro except SAP CRM.
SAP CRM is using BSP for its UI........is there any plan to move to ABAP wyndro for the forth coming release in CRM or SAP CRM will continue with BSP ????
Do you people have any idea on this??
please post it here.
Thanks

Shankar,
I would personally expect SAP shift the UI focus away desktop on-premise CRM in certain scenarios and strongly more focus on either mobile or on-demand solutions. That being said, I'm not sure if SAP wants to spend the money to migrate CRM over to webdynpro ABAP, nor explain to customers why its a good business proposition.
The PCUI to Webclient UI was a pretty easy business case to sell. The PCUI was not easy to use and difficult to maintain. There would be need to be compelling story like the PCUI/SAP GUI to webclient UI migration in order for such a transition between webclient -> webdynpro to make sense. Keep in mind even if it ever did happen the transition period would probably still be a long one.
Finally if you asked me to make the decision, I would say don't worry about migrating technologies and instead focus on a core mobile/ondemand solution instead as the replacement. I don't see any business value right now in using web dynpro ABAP instead of the webclient UI for CRM.
Take care,
Stephen
