Basic DVD Help Needed - More challenging than expected
Need help creating a basic DVD that a client needs. Here are the specs needed for the DVD:
No Menu
No Chapters
Can scrub forward and backward
Begins in DVD player in a stopped state
I can not seem to find an option to remove chapter 1 from the V1 timeline in DVD Studio Pro. Also when DVD is inserted into DVD player the video begins playing right away instead of beginning in a "stopped state" on the DVD player. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Make a black menu with a invisible button and link it to your track.
as for the chapter 1 - you can't get rid of this and is a good thing to have for what your trying to achieve anyways. That way the user can either hit play to start the video or they can hit chapter and it will play as well.
If you don't want them to be able to push anything other than play on their remote you can disable buttons.

Search help needs more records than 500 or 5000
I have a requirement to create search help on a non primary key field . So I need to work on search help exit to remove all the repeating and blank values . The problem I am facing rite now is that search help gets only 500 records by default and 5000 if we leave the restriction field blank . I need to get all the records which is approx more than 100000 and get only the unique values .
Please let me know how I can increase the number of record more than 5000
Regards,
TashiHi Tashi,
The following approach might work out in y our case by overwriting the data fetch functionality of the standard Search help
1. Define internal table of desired structure, in the way you get the data from DB table
2. use your custom function module / class method or select statement to get the desired data into the newly
defined internal table
3. apply required sorting / filtering / formatting as per the requirements
3. loop through the resultant data in the internal table and append the records to standard internal
table / parameter RECORD_TAB of the Search help exit. Please make a note that RECORD_TAB has the
structure field STRING which needs to be populated with the correct offsetting..for example, if the first field
is of 10 characters and second field of 5 characters, it should be populated in the following way
loop at itab into ls_itab.
wa_record-string+0 = ls_itab-field1.
wa_record-string+10 = ls_itab-field2.
wa_record-string+15 = ls_itab-field3.
append wa_record to record_tab.
clear wa_record.
endloop.
EXIT.
Please try this approach and let us know.
hope this helps.

Is DVD Studio Pro More Reliable Than iDVD?
Is DVD Studio Pro more reliable than iDVD?
Because my needs are simple, I thought I'd just use iDVD to burn DVDs. I created a movie in Final Cut Express, exported it as a Quicktime movie with chapter markers, and created an iDVD project around it. The iDVD project recognizes the chapter markers and it all plays just fine from within iDVD, but I haven't been able to successfully burn a DVD of the project.
The video is a little over an hour long. When I start the burn process a box tells me that it will take something like 3 hours and 45 minutes, and the clock starts ticking down. Fine. Then somewhere around two hours later, iDVD quits and I get a message saying only that iDVD "quit unexpectedly." (As if I didn't know that.) The same thing happens when I try to save as a disc image instead of burning directly to a DVD. I've got plenty of hard disk space, have repaired permissions, etc.
This leaves me wondering whether DVD Studio Pro might be a more robust program. This is a very simple project -- one video, 13 chapters -- so it's very disappointing that iDVD can't seem to deal with it.
So -- is there any general consensus about how DVD Studio Pro compares to iDVD in terms of stability and reliability?I do not think there is a clear answer on that one. I use both and find iDVD has less issues than DVD SP (not that DVD SP has a ton of issues, but enough that eventually you will probably run into something that will throw things off and will need to know the workaround.)
If you look at the boards you will see people that have problems with both applications. Not that either one is bad, but since boards are designed to help with issues, it is rare that you get someone saying "Wow this has been rock solid for a year" so it is always a grain of salt.
DVD SP does give you more control over things, but by the same token it may not be the application you need. In other words since it is now part of the Final Cut Studio you would need to take a look at the Studio and see if it is something you want. The iApps overall, IMHO, do quite alot for many things and I use them often depending on what I am trying to do. Your project should work it sounds like and there may be something going on (well yes there is of course) You may want to take a quick look at these threads where people have quit issues with iDVD and see if any of the details in th workflow, computer etc are similar and if there are solutions.

Error in sql query as "loop has run more times than expected (Loop Counter went negative)"
Hello,
When I run the query as below
DECLARE @LoopCount int
SET @LoopCount = (SELECT Count(*) FROM KC_PaymentTransactionIDConversion with (nolock) Where KC_Transaction_ID is NULL and TransactionYear is NOT NULL)
WHILE (
SELECT Count(*)
FROM KC_PaymentTransactionIDConversion with (nolock)
Where KC_Transaction_ID is NULL
and TransactionYear is NOT NULL
) > 0
BEGIN
IF @LoopCount < 0
RAISERROR ('Issue with data in KC_PaymentTransactionIDConversion, loop has run more times than expected (Loop Counter went negative).', -- Message text.
16, -- Severity.
1 -- State.
SET @LoopCount = @LoopCount - 1
end
I am getting error as "loop has run more times than expected (Loop Counter went negative)"
Could any one help on this issue ASAP.
Thanks ,
VinayHi Vinay,
According to your code above, the error message make sense. Because once the value returned by “SELECT Count(*) FROM KC_PaymentTransactionIDConversion with (nolock) Where KC_Transaction_ID is NULL and TransactionYear is NOT NULL” is bigger than 0,
then decrease @LoopCount. Without changing the table data, the returned value always bigger than 0, always decrease @LoopCount until it's negative and raise the error.
To fix this issue with the current information, we should make the following modification:
Change the code
WHILE (
SELECT Count(*)
FROM KC_PaymentTransactionIDConversion with (nolock)
Where KC_Transaction_ID is NULL
and TransactionYear is NOT NULL
) > 0
To
WHILE @LoopCount > 0
Besides, since the current query is senseless, please modify the query based on your requirement.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

When I plug in a Lexar thumb drive, I get a "USB Low Power Notice' saying it cannot operate because it needs more power than is available. This is new. Thumb drives worked last week. Any suggestions? Is this an apple or a Lexar issue?
Apple intentional, use a powered USB hub instead.

Time machine need more space than necessary.
Hi.
Can anyone help. I have a two 1TB external hard drives one backs the other up. Until now it has been fine but suddenly time machine has decided theres not enough room even though there the same size drives. Ive deleted the backup drive and the time machine preferences but it still wont work. I have one drive with 930GB on and time machine says it needs 1.1TB of space. Why dose it need an extra 170GB. Help?
ThanksSince Time Machine keeps copies of previous versions of things you've changed or deleted, it needs much more space than the data it's backing-up.
The extra 170 GB is for "padding" -- workspace on the backup volume, and in case the original estimate isn't accurate, or more files are changed or added while the backup is running.
#1 in the link Carolyn supplied explains this a bit more, and recomends that your backup drive be 2-3 times the size of the data it's backing-up. -
Bought mid/late 2014 15" MBPr with the i7 2.5GHz and 16GB RAM. I'm within 2 week exchange period at Best Buy, and thinking of switching to 2015 13" MBPr with i5 2.7GHz and 8GB RAM for battery life and weight, and they don't offer the upgraded 16GB RAM option for any 13" models.
Needs to be Best Buy because of gift cards
Use docked at office 75% of time vs 25% out of office, so portability and battery life are nice to have but not as important as if I had 8 hour flights on weekly basis
See appeal of having 5th gen i5 in 13" vs my 4th gen i7 that will be updated this summer
Not a gamer and don't use Final Cut or other video editing, but I tend to leave several applications open and usually have between 1-3 GB free RAM of the 16GB total at any time according to my Memory Cleaner readings
Therefore, worried that 8GB is a non-starter as simple math says that I would have shortfall of 5-7GB RAM based on above readings, but wondering if dual core i5 will use RAM more efficiently than quad core i7
Any help greatly appreciated!Also to note, would like this to last 4 years, which was reason that I bought the higher spec'd model even though I don't run games or video editing

Bluray and DVD darker and more chroma than same sequence done on PC???
First, I have a HDV 1080i60 sequence done in FCP 7. I export a quicktime and create MPEG 2 Bluray files in Compressor and create a bluray disc with Encore CS4 on the Mac.
Second, my client is uses a PC based Matrox Axio edit system, and part of our procedure is for me to make him a XDCAM .mxf file, so he can import the video into his Axio without any rendering. He makes a Bluray out of his system from that file.
When we compare the two Bluray discs, mine is darker and has more chroma than his disc, plus my bluray is darker and has more chroma than my timeline output to my ntsc monitor. All the monitoring is the same, so it's not a monitor issue. I have seen some issue with Gamma, etc. I just need to correct the problem, so my client doesn't quite using me for his extra post house.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
JohnWhat would cause the difference now?
Different platforms, different edit systems, different exports, different encoders. Who knows?
Without checking the two images by using calibrated monitors and scopes through both edit, compress and burn processes, it's hard to tell where the changes happen.
The simple solution is to decide which one you like then alter the other file so that it matches. It may take a number of passes to make the adjustments. It's either that or fully monitor the project on both your and your client's edit stations.
Good luck,

Deleted TM backup to start over, now TM says it needs more space than avail
I deleted the backup image on my 500 GB Time Capsule to start over. Now Time Machine says it needs 700 GB of space and only 350 GB available. I only have 100 GB on my MacBook with OS 10.5.8. How do I let TM know that I want to start over and only backup the 100GB with today as a baseline? Thanks

TM says it needs more space (530 gig) for the backup that is actually on my IMAC (used 420 of 1 trb). Any ideas why TM will not back-up and why it requires 530 gig when my IMAC has only used 420 gig?
Because TM needs workspace on the TM drive, and yours is much too small. TM adds 20% to the estimated size of the backup when requesting space.
But to work well, TM usually needs 2-3 times the space of the data it's backing-up. See #1 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
Short term, you may be able to "finagle" getting backed-up by excluding a lot of things temporarily, running a backup, then removing some exclusions and running another. That way, the 20% won't get applied to the total amount of data all at once.
That will work, for a short period of time, but not for long. You need a much bigger drive. -
First, it was an amazing deal of $525 for a 2011, 6gb RAM, 640 GB hard drive.
BUT, i took it to the apple store and they said I should return it because...
1) the screws on the bottom meant the seller refurbished it because they arent apple screws
2) the hard drive failed their test which was sad for me to see
3) the RAM sticks are two different sticks, one apple stick and one something else
4) the keyboard only lights up in the middle which the apple people think is water damage but they cant really tell without opening it. they wont open it because of the screws.
The reasons I dont think I should return it are....
1) I can get a squaretrade warranty so if it does break I can return it
2) $525 for a 2011 mac laptop is sooo good and unheard of, but I may be able to find another similar deal on craigslist so this might not be a valid reason
3) i've been heavily using it for a week without any issues
4) i dont want to spend more new hours searching for a laptop
5) i might not be able to find one on time for when school starts
BACKROUND INFO #1: it has ZERO dents, scratches, or dings - nothing else except whats listed above is wrong with it
BACKGROUND INFO #2: I am a college student who has had 7 PC's crash in the past 5 years. I gave up on PC and invested in this mac. I'm tired of losing my files and forgetting to back it up into my emails every week.
so looking at all that, what do you think I should do? AKA if you were in my shoes you would do what?Now you know why it was $525. Also realize you are getting a computer that isn't a warranty computer. How much did you save?
Read the fine print on the Squaretrade warranty. Make sure they won't turn it away for the same reason Apple does.
Can you live without the light? Even if it got wet in the past it boots now. If I buy a used car and the radio doesn't work but I get it for a really good price then I figure that's part of it if I can live with it and it doesn't interfer with day to day use.
It would be nice to know why the hard drive failed their test. Obviously if the computer boots it isn't total toast. Clearly somebody has been inside the computer to add RAM and maybe change the drive? That doesn't freak me in a used computer.
Maybe somebody can comment on non idential RAM but with some computers with RAM from a reputable upgrade source it doesn't matter. Post the exact specs of the second chip.
My only question is, how up-front was the person from whom you bought the computer? Did they tell you about the light? It isn't a critical part but it is something you can assume to be working unless they tell you it isn't. If they didn't, what else didn't they tell you?
Screws will freak Apple Service because they only look at stuff where they know 100% what's been done to it and nobody not-certified has messed with it. I have done all kinds of things to my computer that would have voided the original warranty 20x over but it long ago went out of warranty. It purrs. -
I feel like a complete novice for posting this kinda stuff, but i figured somebody would take 5 minutes and help me out. My final in my programming class depends on 2 programs, one of which is giving me some actual trouble.
What I have to do is create a java applet that allows a user to input their weight, select a planet, and then have their weight converted to what their weight would be on the selected planet. However, if the ouput is higher than 60 pounds, I need a picture of the michelin man to appear and the theme from star wars to play. If it is below 60, A multicolored asterisk should be displayed with applause.
I will post what code I have already made. Please note: ITS VERY VERY BASIC. I may have overcomplicated some things, and there is always more than one way to do something (in my experience). Also, I kinda just converted a temperature conversion applet, so there may be some extra stuff I don't need.
Please help.

}I am guessing that you are wondering where to go from here. If so http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.5.0/demos/applets/Animator/Animator.java may prove helpful.
Also I would recommend using arrays of planet names and weight multipliers. It could make your code a lot less cumbersome.
