Basic questions for a self-taught re: HDV for SD HDV (yes again)

ok - like many others posting on this topic, I am apologising for going over what seems to be one of the most covered topics out there, that still isn't clear!
I am trying to teach myself DVD SP4 in the same way I did with FCP5 (trial, error and lots of forum searching). I am by no means a pro on FCP - but have certainly got enough understanding of it to have cobbled together 7 23 minutes episodes to broadcast! I have gone thought the DVD SP4 Manual and forums and lots of it just makes my brain ache - what mostly lets down my understanding are formats/compression/codecs.
So - my main questions (for now....)
-In DVD SP I couldn't import my QT movie into my assets list as it was an "incompatible format" - is this because it was HDV to a SD DVD Project? Doesn't the process of DVD SP encoding it as Mpeg 2 make is SD anyway?
-I read a post from someone in a similar situation, who advised exporting a HDV sequence as Uncompressed 8 Bit, and bringing that to DVD SP. So am doing that now (6 hours or so for a 23" sequence) and am hoping it gives a great looking picture, but I have seen from its preview icon that its a 720 x 576 frame - why is it not exporting in 16:9? or will it squeeze that down to normal once it's in DVD SP?
Really appreciate any understand you can help me with.
cheers

Going back to my original questions - could the problem be a HD file in an SD project?
No. If you followed the workflow process from the above post you would have a SD mv2 file. The file should be playable in Quicktime and it should be 16:9.
EDIT: Yes. Reading back on your OP this question ->
In DVD SP I couldn't import my QT movie into my assets list as it was an "incompatible format" - is >this because it was HDV to a SD DVD Project? Doesn't the process of DVD SP encoding it as Mpeg 2 >make is SD anyway?
I believe that importing a HDV file into a SD project would give you that error but if you follow the above steps and import the mv2, AC3 files you should not get that error.
The reason you got three files is because that is how the preset group is made up. To be completely truthful I duplicated that preset, deleted the AIFF part and renamed the group. I now use that as my default settings when I bring any asset into Compressor.
As far as bring video assets (quicktime SD/HD, or other) into DVDSP in general you can do this but, what is happing is that in the background DVDSP is going through the steps from my above post and creating the mv2, AIFF, AC3 files for you (based on your preference setting in DVDSP) and then replacing the video files you brought in with the compressed files.
Can you play the mv2 file in quicktime? If not then something else must be going wrong.

Basic questions. Accessing documents

Hello,
I have few very basic questions. I don't see an obvious way to access documents from within any CS6 app. Is this something that should be possible, or do files have to be uploaded/downloaded from the browser interface? I downloaded and installed trial versions of the Master Collection. When CS6 became available, it seemed to know I was a member because it no longer prompts me to "continue trial." However, several apps show as not installed in the download manager accessable from within CC.
Also, what does the subscription include as far as website publishing. Five sites is what the literature says. Is this five trial sites. I have a site I setup as a test. It's accessable through xxxx.businesscatalyst.com, but when I click "push to live" I am promoted to choose a monthly plan. I really don't need the service, but just curious what level is included.
Also, also, while I can access the creative cloud and it shows 20gb and all apps, my account shows nothing about being a Creative Cloud member.
Sorry for these basic questions.
-Hugh

Hi David,
Getting a lot of email time with you. Thank you for being helpful. I have one Adobe ID. Answers to your questions below:
For accessing documents within the CS6 apps, you could go through cloud storage if you wanted to transfer between locations or computers but saving your work to the computers HD is the same as past versions.
OK, I must be dense. I don't see an obvious way to transfer. Don't need a full tutorial, just point me to a menu item or window tab or anyplace. I'll figure it out from there.
I haven't tested using the Master Collection myself but I would be curious if you launch one of the products which show as not installed within the Adobe Application Manager window does it show as being a trial still? Does just launching make any difference?
No, the apps launch without the 30-day trial notice. Everything seems to be working normally except for not showing as installed through the CC site.
I did install the Master Collection trial Thursday night expecting the launch of CC to be delayed or on California time (East Coast here). Launched a few apps before discovering access (actually a little before midnight--good job). It seems the apps I launched before the service went live are the apps that display as not installed. But not 100-percent sure.
For the website question, I was wondering if it might be because you weren't signed in to Muse with your Adobe ID, it should be the same one as Creative Cloud.
I was promoted to login at the Business Catalyst site from the "manage" link in CC (same with typekit--every time I access)--same (and only) Adobe ID I have. I was also logged in through Muse. I'm sure of that.
Did you receive an email saying that your subscription service was activated? Are you logged into the Creative Cloud website with the same Adobe ID? It almost sounds like you are not signed in or the subscription is not activated?
Other than a few phone calls and online chats with folks at Adobe, this forum is the only (semi) official notification I've recieved. When I called the Customer Service number, the rep told me it would automatically convert (which it seems to have done since I can access and download). But the rep (nore online chat sessions) ask for my Adobe ID.
I checked my spam folder, etc., to make sure nothing was missed from Adobe. Nothing received. As an FYI, I did get the auto notice telling me I was charged for the monthly Design Premium 5.5 subscription on May 10 (just like clockwork).
Also try clearing your browser cache, closing and reopening the browser, oddly enough I've heard that can make a difference in some cases.
I'll try that. Also read elsewhere that uninstalling and reinstalling has helped with other issues. Also read about deleting config files to cause CS6 to reset. Haven't tried it. Would like to know my subsciption status first.
OK, so another basic question, How do I activate my subscription. Call customer service again? Some place on the website? Friends at Adobe ;-)
Thanks much.

BTW, I'm very happy with CS6 so far. Being super productive since Friday night. Not getting much sleep, but having a lot of fun learning/developing some pretty cool stuff.

Sorry for such a basic question

Hi
Sorry for such a basic question.
I have been given the challenge to learn after effect (CS4), it appears to lag loads and take a hour to render (a 10sec composition).
Is the laptop I have been 'given' not really recommended for after effects, yes the program runs and works albeit very slowly, and appears to tick all the boxes on the minimum requirements.
Acer Aspire 5745
Processor         Intel i3 CPU M350 @2.27GHz
Memory            4.00 GB ( 3.68)
System               64-bit
Running on Windows 7 Home Premium
Is it a reasonable request to ask for something better?
Thanks

First, welcome to AE.
Most people here think of using the software as journey, and not something that can be totally mastered. That's an important differentiation from most applications, no?
Another important differentiation: knowing the basics is the key to doing the impressive-looking stuff in AE. There is a formidable number of little details to learn at the beginning which will relieve dead ends and frustration later. If you start at the beginning, you actually progress faster later on. Here's a good starting point:
http://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2010/01/getting-started-with-after-eff.html
Don't overlook the links within; they're valuable. Other good learning resources can be found at videocopilot.net (free), plus Total Training ($$$).
To answer your question directly, I'd say yes: it IS reasonable to ask for something better. AE is a RAM hog, and in AE-Land, 4 gigs is almost nothing. If you must have a laptop, make sure it's filled up with memory. Serious AE power users would advise forsaking laptops altogether and going with a desktop machine.
To ease your task in the interim, I would do a few things:
Got multiprocessing (aka Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously) turned on? Turn it off and keep it off.
Got Open GL turned on to accelerate rendering? Turn it off and leave it off.
Got any footage in a project from a consumer camera, XDCam, HDV cam, helmet-cam or DSLR? Use a different application than AE to convert them into LOSSLESS footage. The files will be huge; that's life in AE-Land.

I want to integrate SMS gateway to Cisco ISE 1.2 and my question is SMS notifications are supported for Guest self−registration

I want to integrate SMS gateway to Cisco ISE 1.2 and my question is
SMS notifications are supported for Guest self−registration Services ? or it should be done by Sponsor

I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you want to log in to the Sponsor Portal using AD credentials?
Create an Identity Source Sequence using AD as an Authentication Source. Go to Administration > Identity Management > Identity Source Sequences. Either Edit or +Add a Sequence and choose from the Authentication Sources shown.
Then choose that Identity Source Sequence by going to Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings. Double-click Sponsor from the Left Menu and click Authentication Source. Choose the Identity Source Sequence. Click Save.
I hope this helps.

Possibly a very basic question but I have set up a spread sheet in Numbers and have viewed help videos but I can't get it to give me sums for the columns I highlight. Keeps coming up with the figure zero. I have version 09 2.3(554). Can anyone help

Possibly a very basic question but I am going nowhere without a solution. I have set up a spreadsheet in Numbers but it won't give me sums for chosen columns. I have viewed the run through videos and used the formula but nothing happens apart from giving a figure of zero or a red arrow. The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total as I understand from the video that you can drag whatever total is here onto the relevent position on your spreadsheet. I have Numbers 09 version 2.3 (554). Can anyone advise. Thanks.

Hi Sohojools,
To sum a column, use a formula such as this one in Cell A6
Type this in a cell below your data:
=SUM(A2:A4) or whatever range of cells you want to sum. The easy way is to type:
=SUM(
and then drag or shift-click to select the range of cells. Close the formula with a final bracket ")".
The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total
To see the sum (and other simple statistics) in the bottom left, select a range of cells. That tells Numbers which cells you are refering to.
The videos are good, but the Numbers'09 User guide, and the Formulas and Functions User Guide are better. Download them from the Help Menu in Numbers.
Regards,
Ian.

Basic Questions related EHPs for SEM

Hi Guys,
I've some basic questions related to EHPs: -
1. If we don't mean to implement any of the new functionalities does it make any sense to implement EHP? In other words do EHPs also have some general improments other than the functionalities which can be specifically activated?
2. If we just activate a functionality and don't implement/ use it can there be any negative impact?
3. In case of a pure technical upgrade from SEM 4.0 to SEM 6.0 which EHP would be recommended?
4. Is there a quick way to find all relevant notes in EHPn which are related to corrections for EHPn-1?
Thanks in advance,
-SSC

HI,
If you see some of my older posts I have had many issues with certain features of the EHP2 functionality but that doesn't mean I would recommned against it.
BCS 6 EHPs 3 & 4 (BCS 6.03 / 6.04) - enhancement packs worth implementing?
BCS 6 EHP 2 (BCS 6.02) - activation of enhancement pack
My recommendation is to implement the EHPs but not necesarrily activate the functions (in SFW5) unless you need them - this means that you will only have to test once after EHP implementation and will have the ability to activate the other features as and when required (although testing is required after activation of course) whereas it might be difficult to persuade your client/basis team to implement EHP4 later if you don't do it now.
In the features of EHP2 (activate FIN_ACC_GROUP_CLOSE) it states that there is a general performance improvement - although I have yet to experience it! From OSS note 1171344 "The functionality which is available in EHP2 consists of...
... Performance improvements of status management, reporting and initial start-up of consolidation workbench and monitor.
Since activating FIN_ACC_GROUP_CLOSE I have had many OSS notes requiring application but i discovered that when the technical team implemented the EHPs (before i joined this client) they somehow forgot the latest SP (support packs) and didn't upgrade to the current level - so make sure that you get the right SPs too (see the links in Greg's link above) to avoid the many OSS notes.
As for your question - "is there a list of OSS notes to specific to EHP upgrades? - the answer is most definietly "NO" - I already asked OSS in desperation!
however, you can see the OSS notes that i have applied listed in the above link ( BCS 6 EHP 2 (BCS 6.02) - activation of enhancement pack )

Basic questions in SRM for Workflows+need material

Hi All,
I have developed Workflows in SAP R3.I am very new to SRM. I have following questions -
1. What is the use of BADI when we implement Workflow? My understanding till now is to provide all approvers to the
   Shooping Cart.That means for workflows without approval we dont need to BADI to implement.
2. Is there any other concepts more i have to know? Like in R3 Event will be triggered with help of change doc, status mang., LIS exceptions and all through SWEC tx. is it same in R3?
   Sorry to ask very basic questions.
   Can anyone provide me step to step guide to configure SRM workflows and Cookbook for SRM?
   My Email id is [email protected]
   It will be very helpful for me.
   Thanks in advance.
   Ashwani

Hi,
1.All the n step workflows(where approvers are determined dynamically) in SRM can be implemented only using the BADI "BBP_WFL_APPROV_BADI".the main purpose of this BADI is to fetch the Approvers/agents for the workflow.In addition to the n step WF,you also have no approval, 1 step and 2 step approval workflow in which the agent assignment can be done directly(no BADI reqd) and this is applicable for all types of business objects i.e. Shopping cart,Bid etc.For more details refer the foll link;
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm40/helpdata/en/17/40a86c773d6c41801d78af1a34b90f/content.htm
2.Work flow concepts are same as in R/3.So techincally you can create your custom workflows in the same way.
Do let me know if you need any further help.
BR,
Disha.
Pls reward points for useful answers.

Basic Questions On List View Plug-in For Lightroom

I need some basic information about the List View Plug-in for Lightroom:
HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS:
I have 40-60 photos per folder. Can List View list that many files on successive pages?
Most of the time I have 15-30 keywords or keyword phrases listed per picture. If I could widen the column I could see all of them. If the column does not widen, will the keywords not shown still be there to be exported to an Excel column, and then shown?
The thumbnail pictures on the end of all the summary lines are cool, but can I delete them before exporting to Excel?
Thank You Very Much for any information about this Plugin,
THANK YOU,
Sandy

Your questions seemed to be asked without actually tried the trial of the plug-in. I did, just now, and from what I can tell, with only have 20 images to test with since that is the trial limitation:
1)      The number of rows is fixed, and you can use the slider at the top-right to move from one page to the next.
2)      The columns do not change width in the plug-in though what you can’t see still gets exported to Excel although I’d expect all the keywords to be in one Excel column, not one column each.
3)      There are several sizes of thumbnails that can be selected from, including None—this is new compared to the one screen-capture on the plug-in website, so setting None as the thumbnail size is how you’d prevent thumbnails from going to Excel. I tried exporting thumbnails and they were all broken images, so maybe it doesn’t actually work, or maybe there is a limitation in the trial mode.

Mind answering some basic questions for a few bright HS students?

I am a HS computer science teacher who seeks a professional mentor regarding JDBC. While I have successfully
- installed a MySQL database,
created, queried, updated the database,
- read the Java Tutorial and:
used Connect/J and written a main method to manipulate a
database
created very simple applets to query or update a database with
their run methods.
I have basic questions about how pieces fit together in web application development and how one can best take advantage of OOP when dealing with a database. My motivation are a few very bright post-AP students who have an excellent grasp of OOP and data structures; they are curious to see how Java is used in web applications.
The sample code I have found on the Web has all been small main method examples. I would like to see and discuss a truly OOD application with JDBC, and to discuss how the pieces fit together.
So, aware of our ignorance and of how dangerous a little knowledge can be, and not expecting to go live with an application anytime soon, we seek a very high level understanding of current professional practice (like: "Where does tomcat fit in here?") as well as some direction while we get our hands dirty. (I hope that makes sense.)
If you have time to correspond with us via e-mail, answer some very basic questions, and perhaps take a look at some code as we work through it, we would love to hear from you off-line ([email protected]). We would also appreciate knowing where to look for a good OOD sample application. Thanks.

Complete this tutorial and you will have a much better understanding.

Exchange 2013 Site Resilience - Basic questions for setup in two seperate AD Sites, same domain

I am just getting ramped up with Exchange 2013 and have a friend that I am assisting with planning an exchange 2013 deployment for. I am not asking for step by step directions for setup, just asking for a basic overview so I can dig in to this and
assist.
Goal is to have an exchange server, one in NC and one in Switzerland in an active/passive mode for site resilience. Both servers will be multi role servers.
This is a small organization, less than 50 users and on a budget for equipment. HQ is in NC and the server will have all roles installed on a single server. Switzerland will have only one Exchange server for fail over. There is only
one domain total with two AD Sites.
My questions for clarity -
1. Can I create a Site resilient deployment with two Exchange Multi Role servers in these locations?
2. Currently, the organization does not have a Load Balancer. Will this be required?
3. They do not have a third location for a Witness Server, what issues could potentially happen if the witness sits in one of the two sites?
4. Any other basics for this design are much appreciated. I am reading a lot, however a little confused as I read through the requirements.
Thanks for your input and direction!
Wall

Hi
Please find below answers to your questions.
1. Can I create a Site resilient deployment with two Exchange Multi Role servers in these locations?
Yes
2. Currently, the organization does not have a Load Balancer. Will this be required?
No you don't need to have a load balancer. As you are setting up the infrastructure in Active / Passive mode you don't need a dedicated LB for this.
3. They do not have a third location for a Witness Server, what issues could potentially happen if the witness sits in one of the two sites?
The issue with the witness server in primary or DR site is if your witness server is not responding your DAG won't work properly (failover). If you don't have a 3rd site then you can setup a witness server in your primary site and Alternate witness server
to your DR site.
4. Any other basics for this design are much appreciated. I am reading a lot, however a little confused as I read through the requirements.
I would recommend to use Exchange sizing calculator and technet is the best resource for you :)
Kindly mark this as answer if it fulfill your requirements. :)

Basic question... Mpeg2 vs Self-contained Quicktime?

Hello, I am kind of ashamed to post this question only now but nothing is
losf for asking...!
I have so far made dvds with a Quicktime mov. file, which is
Self-contained movies exported from Final cut, believing that it is the only way.
But actually there is Mpeg2! with options to choose mbps ect.
I have noticed that the color of dvds are slightly different; Mpeg2 has
more deepness while Quicktime mov. less. But other than that,
it doesn't seem problematic.
Must we use always Mpeg2 or can se use self-contained Quicktime files as well?
Still on an elementary level,
Thank you!!
Minobu

Better to encode as m2v outside of DVD SP and not bring in a .mov
Some reasons

Basic questions about Mapviewer for OBIEE 11G

Hello All..
I am pretty rookie in OBIEE and I have never worked with Mapviewer before.. I am going some POC right now in my environment and I want to experiment map reports in OBIEE.. My current OBIEE version is 11.1.1.6.5, Oracle DB version is 11.2.0.3.0 64 bit and OS is Linux 86-64 and I see that there are many versions of mapviwers to download from oracle website.
I have read a few articles on Mapviewer integration with OBIEE, but I still have a few questions about using mapviewers at the very basic level:
1. What versions do I download from Oracle website? I see there are many versions of mapviewers. Do I decide the version based on my OBIEE version or DB version?
2. What files do I download from Oracle website? I see there is mapviewer zip files and mapbuilder zip files. Which one do I download and how does installation works?
3. My OBIEE 11G and DB are running on linux environment, but in the Mapviewer download page, I don't see Oracle differentiating the OS environments. Does that mean Mapviewer is only either Unix/Linux or Windows? How do I determine in which environment I should install the files I downloaded?
I know these are very basic questions, perhaps too basic to blog about, that's why I can't find them online..
Please advise here..
Thanks

New to Internet Sales for ERP - Few basic questions.

Hi,
We are going to implement Internet Sales for ERP and I have some questions.
1) Is Product Catalog Mandatory for implementing Internet Sales for ERP / R3?
2) We are already using MDM for catalog and we are not the Product Catalog module in R3. Will there be a problem implementing MDM into ISA? Has anyone implemented ISA with MDM as product catalog?
3) We are planning to make it an extra-net application; what is the best architecture placement of the ISA server? Should we have it in DMZ or outside DMZ. What is the best approach among option a and b?
a) Web Browser (Internet) -- External Firewall -- Webserver + ISA server -- Internal Firewall -- ERP
b) Web Browser (Internet) -- External Firewall -- Webserver -- Internal Firewall -- ISA server + ERP
Please Enlighten.
Thanks,
Deepak

Hello Deepak,
1) Is Product Catalog Mandatory for implementing Internet Sales for ERP / R3?
Catalog is an independent piece of feature and integrated to the basket (or the selling process). You can hide the internal catalog by a switch in the Shopadmin XCM administration - Catalog tab._But_ you may still need a catalog (internal) for reading variant data. However, no replication is required.
2) We are already using MDM for catalog and we are not the Product Catalog module in R3. Will there be a problem implementing MDM into ISA? Has anyone implemented ISA with MDM as product catalog?
ISA works with external catalogs with ease. All you need is to make use of the Open catalog Interface (OCI) feature. After all, OCI is a SAP technology, and all its products must be capable of understanding it. Isn't it? SAP MDM catalog is OCI enabled.
3) We are planning to make it an extra-net application; what is the best architecture placement of the ISA server? Should we have it in DMZ or outside DMZ. What is the best approach among option a and b?
a) Web Browser (Internet) -- External Firewall -- Webserver + ISA server -- Internal Firewall -- ERP
b) Web Browser (Internet) -- External Firewall -- Webserver -- Internal Firewall -- ISA server + ERP
(b)
Please Enlighten.

Basic Questions for Getting Started

I want to make a DVD with a menu that will link to video files that will not be compressed at DVD SD size 720 x 480 (I think that is the right size for DVD?) Instead, I need to make the window size of the videos smaller so I can fit as many as possible on a single-layer disc.
1. Will there be any issues with linking to video files that are not full screen, whether it is played in a computer DVD or a home one?
2. What is the best format for bringing video in from FCP for doing this? I am guessing that since DVD SP compresses as MPG-2, I should bring the video in a non-compressed format so it does not get double compressed.
3. Does anyone have any recommendations for a smaller window size that displays well on screen? 400 by something???
Thanks for any help in advance!!!

1. Will there be any issues with linking to video
files that are not full screen, whether it is played
in a computer DVD or a home one?
I can only suggest that you try it and see, or ask on the Final Cut Pro discussion forum and someone there will know.
2. What is the best format for bringing video in from
FCP for doing this? I am guessing that since DVD SP
compresses as MPG-2, I should bring the video in a
non-compressed format so it does not get double
compressed.
Yes. You should bring it into DVD SP as a QT file (.mov) which you export from Final Cut, presumably using the option "using QT Compression" which I think gives options for size. However, I have never had luck when using the QT compression option. There may be other utilities which can reduce the size of a QT movie.
I suppose that you know to use Compressor to make a more efficient compression than the one built in to DVD SP, and to use APack (or whatever it is called in DVD SP 4) to compress sound - that saves a lot of disc space.
