Balanced Scorecard web presentation and editing problems

Hi all,
I am working with BSC on SEM-BW 6.0 - when I access the web presentation/editing transactions (UMB_LAUNCHPAD_WEB and UMB_CUST_WEB) I can not see any graphics like cause-and-effect chain and other graphic stuff. Since the cause-and-effect chain can be only modeled on the web with this version, this is a real problem. I know this is due to the right or wrong Java Runtime Environment. Can anybody help me on this? Which JRE version do I need installed on my PC to have the graphics work?
Thanx in advance and waiting for your hints

What you need from your old Mac is a file titled Domain.sites2 which will be located in the your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder where the home folder is the one with this icon:
Find that file and move/copy it to the same folder on your new Mac. If there is none go to the Application Support folder and create an "iWeb" folder.
If you do not have that domain file you will have to start over from scratch and rebuild your site. iWeb cannot import published html files. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.
To publish to a 3rd party FTP client I suggest you publish your site first to a folder on your hard drive and then use the free FTP client Cyberduck to upload the site folder and its index.html file to the server.

Hi
Not sure if this is a Fireworks or Dreamweaver problem but
here goes.
I¹ve created a graphic in Fireworks CS3 on the Mac and
Exported the HTML and
related images. I open the HTML file in Dreamweaver CS3, all
fine so far.
Then I highlight the table and click the Edit in
Fireworks¹ button and it
throws up a warning dialogue saying Cannot launch and
edit. The Fireworks
table could not be found in the HTML. Please export from
Fireworks and
re-import the HTML into Dreamweaver.¹
What?!!
I¹ve only just exported it from Fireworks! It¹s
even got the Fireworks table
code in the Code section, so what¹s going here?
Has anyone else had this?

When you export the sliced graphics from Fireworks it places
them into a
table. In my instance the code says...

So it recognises Fireworks was the the graphics app and jumps
back to it
when you want to edit the image. Fireworks then displays (or
should) a
Done¹ button over the window. You do your alts and
press Done to update the
HTML and graphics back in Dreamweaver automatically.
That¹s the only table I was referring to Murray.

Java Web Start and JNLP Problem

Hi !
I�m a student and i need your help for a work that i have to do.
I have an aplication that parse an XML file.
The XML file is in ther server, and when i run the aplication with Java Web
Start and jnlp file i want that the application parse a XML file.
is this possible??? how can i do ???
if you dont understand please warn me, that i try to explain better..
thanks, in advance.
Rui Silva , Portugal

I'm not sure that you need webstart.
Just an applet will allow you to read a file from the server:
Just open a URL pointing to the .xml file.
Read the file into a buffer and then parse it.
Now actually getting the applet to do something with the contents of the .xml file
is more complicated. Presumably you need to write something which understands the
contents of the .xml and does something in response to the contents.
A signed java program can be run from with in webstart which can spawn processes on
the local machine. os.systemExec("command a b c"); But of course that has cross platform
problems.
Good luck

Load balancing SMA web service and SMA end point URL

Hi,
We have set up the recommended 3 servers with Azure Pack, SMA Web Service and Runbook Worker. We are now wanting to configure the Azure pack portal to setup the SMA endpoint url for the web service. Before we do that, we are assuming we should
load balance the web services to answer on 1 url (ie, smaws.domainname.com).
1. Is there any guidance or things to consider when load balancing the 3 web services to answer to 1 url. We will probably use f5 since that is what we use.
2. The end point url that we configure for Azure Pack automation should be this load balanced URL correct?
3. Should we have the Azure pack installed on just one of the servers or all 3. We did all 3 but it seems like server2 and 3 just redirect to 1 anyway so I am assuming the URL for Azure pack is stored in a db somewhere.
4. Are there any other components of SMA/Azure Pack that should also be load balanced?
Thanks
Thanks Lance

So in this case you need to register the SMA Runbook Workers (do this on machine 1):
$webService
= "https://localhost"
$workers
= (Get-SmaRunbookWorkerDeployment
-WebServiceEndpoint
$webService).ComputerName
if($workers
-isnot [system.array]) {$workers
= @($workers)}
$workers
+= "MachineName2"
$workers += "MachineName3"
New-SmaRunbookWorkerDeployment
-WebServiceEndpoint
$webService -ComputerName
$workers

Envy 100 410A Web Services and Ipod problems

Hi,
I purchased the Envy 410A and I'm having a few problems. I have two Macbooks and a 4th gen Ipod Touch setup on a wireless network with a Linksys WRT100 router. First, what's working:
I successfully installed the printer on both computers through USB and I can print wirelessly from each without any difficulties. (I set a fixed IP address for the printer to avoid having to 'find' it each time it got a new address by DHCP.)
Here are my problems:
1) On setup, the printer successfully connected to the HP web service and printed out a code for ePrinting. I entered this code and was able to print via email. However, sometime between last night and today (and after I installed 6 updates) the printer reported that it no longer had an email address. I turned off Web Services to troubleshoot, but now when I try to enable it I get the "Problem Connecting to the Web Services Server" error. Powercycling the router and/or printer does not fix this. Nor does turning off the printer's wireless functions for 5 minutes. I've tried restoring factory defaults, but it did not actually restore anything. How can I fix this? Is the server down, or is something screwed up?
2) My iPod Touch is completely updated to iOS 4.2, bluetooth is turned off, and I've verified that it's on the same network as the printer, but I cannot detect the printer on my iPod either through Apple's AirPrint or through the HP iPhoto App 3.0. Both just say "No printers found". This is really frustrating since I bought this with printing from mobile devices in mind. Any advice?
Thanks for your help,
Dave

I am glad your first problem is resolved. When it comes to iPod having OS 4.2, the device supports AirPrint which is new from Apple.
For more information on how to use the AirPrint on your iPod refer to below link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c02623193
If the iPod still does not find the printer, try unchecking the option "Enable Multicast Streams" in the router EWS page and see if it works or not. Contact your router support for more info.
Say "Thanks" by clicking the Kudos Star in the post that helped you.

IMovie Storage and editing Problems

I am new to this! Transfering DV tape approx 1 hour to IMOVIE
message comes up "Not enough space on disc". (using Macbook)..I have fitted a firewire Lacie 250mb ext hd., run IMOVIE from there but it wont let me use this as a default drive. How do I do this please so I can (a) transfer intially and (b) edit?
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Make sure the LaCie drive uses the disk format iMovie requires. If it doesn't, iMovie won't be happy.
The project MUST reside on a disk that uses the "Mac OS Extended" disk format (optionally followed by "Journaled"). If the disk uses some other format, iMovie can't reliably save the project to disk.
Internal disks use the correct format, but many FireWire drives purchased off the shelf use a different format. When you buy a disk, always check the format.
To check the format, Control-click on the disk icon in the Finder and choose "Get Info" from the popUp menu. The disk format is shown in the window that opens.
If necessary, use Disk Utility to reformat the disk. WARNING: that erases all the files on the disk, so make backups.
It doesn't hurt to reformat a new disk anyway. A freshly-formatted disk is more reliable. Some users have reported iMovie problems going away after reformatting an external disk that already had the "right" format. Disks can have problems that reformatting solves.

Web Services and Parameters - Problem

I have 2 web services I set up. One takes no parameters and
works fine. The
other takes arguments and it tells me the method cannot be
found. What am I
missing? What is the magic bullet to invoke a web service
that takes
arguments and have it work? I have all the web service's
arguments set to
'required="yes"' and I set up another 'no argument function'
in the
SearchProperty.cfc to make sure it also works and it did
fine, so I know the
web service exists and is accessible.
I tried both createObject in my contoller and cfinvoke. Both
work fine for
the web service that takes no arguments and neither work for
the one that
does.
Here is my controller blocks (please excuse the Model-Glue)
This works fine

<cffunction name="getCities" access="public"
returntype="void"
output="false" hint="I displays all the cities for the front
page">
<cfargument name="event" type="ModelGlue.Core.Event"
required="yes">
<cfset Cities = createObject("webservice",
http://74.86.90.210/realitorToolBox/model/webservices/CityGateway.cfc?wsdl")/>
<cfset allCities = Cities.getCities() />
<cfset arguments.event.setValue("getAllCities",
allCities)/>
</cffunction>
This cannot be found:

<cffunction name="SearchProperties" access="public"
returntype="void"
output="false" hint="I displays all the cities for the front
page">
<cfargument name="event" type="ModelGlue.Core.Event"
required="yes">
<cfset userID = 555555>
<cfset bedrooms =
arguments.event.getValue("bedrooms")/>
<cfset bathrooms =
arguments.event.getValue("bathrooms")/>
<cfset footage = arguments.event.getValue("footage")/>
<cfset minprice =
arguments.event.getValue("minprice")/>
<cfset maxprice =
arguments.event.getValue("maxprice")/>
<cfset basement =
arguments.event.getValue("basement")/>
<cfset garage = arguments.event.getValue("garage")/>
<cfset CITIES = arguments.event.getValue("CITIES")/>
<cfset Search = createObject("webservice",
http://74.86.90.210/realitorToolBox/model/webservices/SearchProperty.cfc?wsdl")/>
<cfset searchAll = Search.SearchProperty(#userID#,
#bedrooms#,
#bathrooms#, #footage#, #minprice#, #maxprice#, #basement#,
#garage#,
#CITIES#) />
<cfset arguments.event.setValue("Results",
searchAll)/>
</cffunction>
Any ideas? My client is getting anxious and I hope to offer
this service to
other developers to use for their client's site.

Ok, I will make this simplier. Couple questions.
Is it possible to use cfargument in a web service?
I looked at the samples out there and they all just have
queries that take a
form variable (#form.name#) since it was being passed by a
form.
Is it possible to have one web service function invoke
another function in
the same cfc?
If you have one function that calls another to first validate
the user and
then invoke another to get the search results, do all have to
be remote or
can you have the search be private since you dont want it
invoked remotely.
I.E.
<cffunction name="search" access="remote"
returntype="query">
<cfset authenticate = authenticateUser(#username#)>
<cfif authenticate EQ 'yes'>
<cfset myResults = searchProperty(#mlsnumber#)>
</cfif>
<cfreturn my Results>
</cffunction>
I tried a simple city search and tried to pass a variable
argument.
<cfinvoke
webservice="
http://74.86.90.210/realitorToolBox/model/webservices/CityGateway.cfc?wsdl"
method="findCity" city = "clinton" returnvariable="aQuery"/>to:
<cffunction name="findCity" access="remote"
returntype="query"> <cfquery name="getCities"
datasource="MLSListings"> Select city FROM residential WHERE
city = '#city#' </cfquery> <cfreturn getCities>
</cffunction>And I still get a function cannot be found, even
though I used the cfcexplorer to verify that it does exist on the
remote server.Any ideas?

Editable ALV - Particular Lines Display and Edit Problem

Hi,
I have developed a program which updates the Custom tables in the database.
I am using cl_gui_alv_grid in the module pool program. I am making all the fields editable using ls_fcat-edit = 'X'.
But as per my requirement in the change mode of the same data base entry, the user should not be able to change the existing data (like PO line items).
My requirement is for a particular Purchase Order if there are line items, when I open the Purchase Order in the change mode all the existing line items should be in display mode and I need to provide the user to add more lines.
Say the PO has 3 line items, in the Grid, it should be like all the existing 3 line items should be in display mode and rest of the lines should be in editable mode which will give the option for the user to add more line items for the same PO.
Here it is not Purchase Order, I just compared as an example.
Logic I am using.
I am building the internal table with a serial numbers from 1-99 and this particular column will be in display mode in the ALV Grid. Using the class cl_gui_alv_grid.
Capturing all the data entered using event handler with method handle_data_changed.
Please tell me how do I set the particular lines in display mode and others in editable mode within the same internal table.
Thanks

Hi Prabhu,
thanks for the logic, but for some reason the it is not working for me. Please see the below logic and let me know what I am missing.
I am not passing anything related to style to the method Set table for first display.
Is this correct it_outtab            = gt_outtab[].
or because of the below method

INCLUDE TYPE zaodoperation.
DATA: celltab TYPE lvc_t_styl ."--->for styles.....
DATA: END OF gt_outtab.

    LOOP AT gt_outtab INTO gs_outtab.
      IF gs_outtab-heatnum IS NOT INITIAL.

          ls_celltab-fieldname = gs_fieldcat-fieldname.
          ls_celltab-style = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_disabled."-->no edit.....
          INSERT ls_celltab INTO TABLE lt_celltab.
        ENDLOOP.
        INSERT LINES OF lt_celltab INTO TABLE gs_outtab-celltab.
        MODIFY gt_outtab FROM gs_outtab.
        CLEAR : gs_outtab.

1080 50i disadvantages and editing problems?

I am about to buy cosumer camera Sony HDR CX350ve. It records in AVCHD 1080 50i footage. I am in big doubt because of this interlaced scaning and all of discussions about film-like or no film like look. What it is all about?
How Premiere CS4 deals with 50i during editing? When i will see artifacts? What is the best way to convert to progressive scanining?
What i will see on 1080p LCD? Is this interlaced scaning really worse than progressive?
I really like this camera but I don't want to regret buying it while editing footage. Please help.

Nothing worth mentioning. But let's be practical, many users only edit and export interlaced material, you have no way to export to 25P on BRD or DVD, PC players like VLC or MPC automatically correct interlaced material for display on a progressive monitor, just as flatscreen TV's do.
Jeff's tutorial is great in NTSC land, but not in PAL land to introduce that "Filmic / Stuttering" look. The software solution is the best approach in NTSC land to create the stutter, not here. IMO even a software solution is only a band-aid, and does interpolate between fields to create a frame which will always entail mathematical inaccuracies and errors. If the information is not there, you can't create the information in post. So it will by definition look softer than the original. Converting i material to P will work reasonably nice on static shots, but not on fast moving shots or fast pans.

OCM, the Balanced Scorecard, and Fostering Collaboration

Many organizations try to implement a management methodology, like the Balanced Scorecard, in order to improve performance and meet the shifting needs of the marketplace.
When developing a scorecard, the organization identifies what it believes are the key performance indicators that are driving the business. And while it is easy enough to formulate a plan with shared goals and teamwork, realizing and executing on that plan can be more challenging.
During every step of this process, from communicating the goals, to identifying KPIs, to executing on the strategy, requires attention to change management.
How does an organization move toward a unified set of objectives when that means getting collaboration between departments and functions that typically compete for attention, turf, and resources?
Do you have any examples of how Organizational Change Management was effectively used to better the cooperation and interaction between departments? Were there any good lessons learned?
Bob

Hi Bob,
We have used the "Portfolio" approach effectively to address the competing needs of various departmernts,functions.
A portfolio of the plans / initiatives under progress with the details in terms of money,Time etc is drawn and discussed in the workshop of the stake holders.The dependencies are also identified and discussed in detail.This is signed-off.
Based on the above it is easy to draw a heat map in terms of sensitivity and significance.This largely helps in bringing under control the competing departments etc.
If still the problem exists or in case of a tie,we can apply other constraints like money-cost of capital-,pay back period,skill set requirement, higher ROI relevant to a particular plan etc.
If we apply the yard stick logically in terms of the "value creation",the job of change management is half done.
In practice i have seen the delayed execution of the plans,the quality problems,the delayed collection of cash,bad relationship with the client really upset our plan.There should be a good governance in these areas.In a portfolio of "Resource constrained projects" the above will have a telling effect.
Lesson learned:
The Managers who fight for priority on logical reasoning in fact do good to the firm.They bring in the scenarios -often real time-and potray the effect.On the other hand the pliable Managers accept to every thing resulting in to missed oppurtunities, abnormal idleness in terms of idle time,idle resources,thus allow changes to happen at a very high price.In the process they inflict an irreversible damage.
Often the "good will" considerations prevail,meaning,even if the project is ranked last in the portfolio,if the customer is powerful or is potentially important from a future point of view,then these low ranked projects pierce thro' the filter at the cost of the "good ones" to the detriment of the organization.The significant side effect is,the performing departments get demoralized,frustrated with the poor allocation of the resources,delay etc.This sets a domino,which may threaten the very "business continuity".Resource buffering is essential to counter these.
In Change Management "For every Prize,there is a Price".This has to be examined from the value perspective.otherwise we are lost.
My 0.1%.
Reagrds.

Resizing and editing Components Design - Some problems and questions at CQ5

Hello everyone,
I'm building a website application following the http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/howto/website_quick.html guide (using the cq 5.5). The thing is, when I drop an image component on the site and drop some image into this one, the component resize my image. Even if I double click the image component and change the size, there's kind of a "maximum" size. I don't wanna change this one by css properties because if my user change the picture or drop a new one in the page, the change will not be applied to this new one.
So, my question is, there's a way to configure the component to get the size i'm inputing on the dialog, without "limits"? Below some images of what i'm doing.
The second problem I found is with the "text & image component". I've inserted the "right" alignment for the image in the styles tab, but the image stays on top of the text, and there's nothing I can do to solve this in the input dialog. Don't wanna use the css for the same reason that I've explained before.
All the components are imported from fundation.
So, there is something I can do to change the design of my components?
Thanks in advance,
Matheus de Oliveira.

For the issue you are having with the maximum size there are couple of possiblity.
The firstpossiblity is that your CSS is enforcing a maximum size. So to check this take the src from you img tag and put in a browser and see if you get the original size or not. If you get the right size when viewing the image URL than you do in the page than the issue is CSS. Depending on how you have designed your site's CSS there might be any number reasons it's limiting the image size but whatever the reason it's an implementation question.
The second option is that design mode of the image component. The default install has a maximum image size set in design mode of the image component. Switch your page to design mode and verify that the maximum image size is not set in the design dialog.
A final option is that the DAM is enforcing the maximum size. In CQ 5.5 the default configuration is to create a web ready rendition with a maximum height and width fo 1200 x 1200. The out of the box components and the out of the box image rendering script will use this web ready rendition if it is present rather than the original image.
To check if this is your problem do the following:
Go to the workflow model console and edit the Update Dam Asset workflow.
Delete the step in the workflow named Web Ready Rendition
Upload a new image that is larger than 1200 x 1200 to the DAM
Try and use that image in an image component - it should display at the original size.

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

A way to have part of the screen presentation and part live web browser?

I'm trying to put together a presentation that involves demonstrating a
live web site.
Neither Keynote or Powerpoint will let me imbed live web pages into a presentation on a MAC. (ibrowser plug-in will do it for powerpoint PC but not MAC).
I'm wondering if there isn't some way to use two programs to accomplish my goal, which is to have notes about the live web page on screen (sort of prompting and reminding me of what to show next on the web site), while showing the web site and working with it on another portion of the screen.
I come close by creating a powerpoint presentation creating my "prompting notes"
on only the far left side of the powerpoint pages, then turning it into a PDF, then opening the PDF but pushing the window all the way to the right side of the computer screen so on the right I see my "notes" and on the left to center of the computer screen I have the live SAFARI web browswer. I can move from page to page on my slides by hitting the "next" page button on the pdf PREVIEW window.
It kinda works, but isn't anywhere near as slick or clean as I'd like.
Can anyone think of a cleaner way to do this with any combo of MAC applications?
Thanks for any input.

I figured it out myself! I'm making a quicktime movie out of the presentation,
scale the quicktime window to a corner of the screen, and then have the web
browser on the rest of the screen.
Just thought I'd post in case anyone else had this problem and was looking for

Updated iPhoto 11 and cannot open Events with double click or any other way. I can only view those photos by creating an album from all of them, then I can open the album and edit or delete etc. Any one have that problem?

After upgrading to iPhoto 11 and the latest upgrade 9.4.1 (701 67) I cannot open any Event. The normal double click does not work, nor anything else I have tried. The only way I can view the photos in an Event is to make an Album of it, and then I can easily open it with a double click and edit and delete, arrange photos etc. Anyone have this problem. Any ideas about how to open an event?

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Encore CS3 - Hangs and import problems with menus and avi footage with audio tracks present.

I'm trying to import some footage files in .avi format into Encore CS3 and am having several problems.
In what follows when I say "crash" I mean Encore quits with a standard Windows error. When I say "hang" I mean Encore does not quit but rather becomes an unresponsive process that must be killed manually using Windows Task Manager.
My System:
WinXP Pro SP2
2.93 GHz Intel Celeron CPU - single core
Intel PERL mobo
3GB 400MHz RAM
NVidia 7800GS video
I mention these specs however I am not experiencing any hardware
related bugs or issues (like out of memory or video driver crashes
etc) when using any CS3 app.
The footage files (as reported by GSpot) and problems I am seeing. In all cases GSpot reports that I have the appropriate codec installed:
footage1.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 192kb/s, 716834 KB
Attempting to import as timeline causes Encore CS3 to hang.
Importing as an Asset allows it to import but when I try to click
on it in the project windown to add it to a new empty timeline,
Encore hangs. It plays fine in Windows Media Player.
footage2.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG-1 Layer 3 48kHz 128kb/s, 718302 KB
Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no audio.
footage3.avi - Dx50 XVid 1.0.3, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 112kb/s, 717606 KB
Imports fine as either a timeline or asset but no audio track comes
with it, even though there is an audio track in the footage. It plays
fine in Windows Media Player. Video imports perfectly, just no
audio. I tried converting this one using AVS to both MPEG3 and DivX,
each using MPEG1-Layer3 44kHz 192kb/s audio, and got the same issue
upon importing into Encore CS3. I also loaded it into Camtasia
Studio and it looked fine over there. The audio was present and I
was able to export it as a .WAV file. When I tried looking at the
file in Soundbooth CS3, there was no audio track or, more
accurately, the audio track was a flat line.
By way of comparison these are importing perfectly:
footage4.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Beta2, MPEG1-Layer3 48kHz 189kb/s Two mono
channels LAME3.96r, 717436 KB.
footage5.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Final, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s Six
channels (3/2 .1), 716418 KB.
footage6.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.0 Final, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s Six
channels (3/2 .1), 716418 KB.
footage7.avi - XVID XviD 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s 6 channels
(3/2 .1), 717502 KB
footage8.avi - XVID XviD 1.0.3, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s 6 channels
(3/2 .1), 717180 KB
footage9.avi - XVID XviD 1.1.2 Final, Dolby AC3 48kHz 448kb/s 6 channels
(3/2 .1), 2291904 KB
Although this one imported & transcoded correctly, when I went to
build it to a DVD image file I got some strange errors during the
"planning video" stage that prevented the process from completing.
Unfortunately I neglected to write down the error message I recieved
which read like quite nonsensical babble to me, and I have since
deleted the project folder. I remember it was not a memory or
display related error and it included a timestamp where the error
was happening. I played the footage in the preview panel thru the
identified timestamp but it previewed perfectly without even a
jitter in either the video or audio. Took forever to transcode so I
doubt I'll be doing this one again anytime soon.
Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the

Another issue I am having is with the motion menus. I burned a DVD and it does not load correctly in one of my DVD players (a Sony rdr-gx330 recorder/player). It appears to take extra time to recognize the disk, the startup (first-play) menu does not show automatically, and I must press the Main Menu button on the remote control to make it appear. Other than that it seems to play ok in that player. Also tested it in 2 other DVD players (a Panasonic and Zenith) and it worked just fine like it's supposed to in them. Also plays perfectly in my computer's DVD player/burner using Windows Media Player v10. I tried burning to Memorex +RW single-layer single-sided disks at 6, 7, & 8Mbps project settings but got the exact same result every time.
Encore CS3 crashes fairly often during authoring, particularly during imports, and when I go to edit things like calling up a timeline in the timeline panel, dragging footage into an existing timeline, or changing button links in a menu etc.. I have also experienced seemingly random hangs even more often, probably 5 or 6 times as often as a crash. Saving the project after every little change I make, then closing and restarting Encore allows me to make progress albeit at a significantly reduced workflow rate. Accessing Photoshop from Encore appears to be working flawlessly so far aside from the slow load times. Encore hangs sometimes during video transcoding, repeat the process and it works ok. If I try to import a menu from the library after importing my footage files, Encore hangs trying to import it either at the 50% mark or the 99% mark (it varies even with the same exact menu selected from the library). If I import the menu first and the footage after, then no problems. Also trying to render motion menus after importing footage causes Encore to hang, render before footage import and everything works ok. Interestingly enough, previewing my project in Encore's monitor or preview panels works perfectly even in High quality mode -- in fact it operates quite smoothly in comparison to other apps I have tried. Although those footage files that had missing audio tracks on import obviously played silently, I have yet to experience a hang or crash during a preview or when scrubbing through a timeline in the monitor panel.
The last problem I've seen is with the project cache files. It doesn't always get rid of cache files when stuff is deleted from the project. I was working on one project and surprisingly ran out of disk space. When I tracked it down I found that there were some two dozen copies of a footage file I had repeatedly imported and deleted from the project still sitting in the cache folder. The file was an avi about 2GB so it was taking up some 40 GB of disk space for stuff that was no longer in the project. I tried shutting down Encore and manually deleting all the cache files, and that worked for most of them, but there was one 2GB file that kept reappearing in the cache folder even though it was no longer in the project. The XML file in the cache folder still had references to it in there so I can only assume that was the reason it kept showing up. I eventually had to delete and totally recreate the project from scratch to regain my lost disk space. This included having to sit thru a 6 hour long transcoding session which pissed me off to no end.
Encore CS3 appears on the surface to be a very powerful, feature rich, and approachable app with a simple easy to use interface, but it is awfully bugged in just about every area I have explored and still needs lots and lots of work for it to be really useful. Frankly for me it is pretty damn annoying that I have invested so much money in this suite only to find several of the apps in it (Encore & Premiere in particular) behaving this poorly. In my opinion every single app in the suite exhibits lousy performance whenever you must do anything at all involving the disk from the time you click to start it up until the time you click to close it down. Several of them are just as seriously bugged as Encore too, and being a long time Photoshop v5.5 user I expected much more from Adobe. Even Photoshop is two or three times as slow now (e.g. it takes about 20-30 seconds to simply create an empty 500x500 pixel image file and almost a full minute to load a 30x60 pixel single-layer gif). So far I have attempted to create 6 DVDs using Encore and after 3 weeks of effort have only succeeded in getting one of them onto a final disk -- and that one is kinda limping to work correctly in my DVD player. Three of those projects became so corrupted while working on them that I had to delete them completely and recreate them from scratch, only to find that I still couldn't get them to completion for one reason or another. Seriously disappointing.
