Best Cooling Options

Sorry to Bother All again,
I kno that my PSU is shite and I am working around a replacement, but my processor heat on PC Alert 4 is showing it in the 50's I am hoping this is incorrect as I have removed my big Cooler Master Jet and inserted the OEM Heat Sink and Fan because of the power output.
I have applied Thermal Paste onto the processor which is deisgned for this type of one, and I am shocked to see the heat so high....
Is there another Heat Testing software I can use? to get a 2nd opinion.. at the moment I have taken side off and put my desk fan on max and allowing that to blow some cold air in there to help... guess wot it aint doing jack shite.... HELP is again needed.
I will put my coolermaster back in when I know I have the power to support it, but the OEM fan should do a decent JOB!

Most advice I have seen say 50's is ok.
Maybe you got too much or too little heat sink compound on it.
If it is temporary, you could install the coolermaster, disconnect a case fan, leave the side off.
Many advise http://mbm.livewiredev.com/ to display cpu temperatures, put I think it uses the same sensor. I do not think you can get another sensor where it would be useful.

What are best output options in DVDSP for playback on VGA Computer Screen?

I understand that DVDs were designed to be viewed on TV sets - not computer monitors with much higher resolution than a TV set.
However .... I'm curious what the best output options are within DVDSP3 for playback on a standard 19" VGA computer screen 1024x768 and not necessarily on a TV screen. Any ideas?
Will DVDSP3 address playback on a standard VGA computer screen any better than iDVD6? .... or are they both very much the same?
Here's my objective:
MiniDV>FCP HD >DVD SP3>DVD-R / Playback on VGA 19" Monitor only (no TV involved).
or...
MiniDV>iMovie6>iDVD6>DVD-R / Playback on VGA 19" Monitor only.
TIA

George - I'm not a web designer, so I'm probably not the best person to respond but here goes anyway (FWIW):
(anywhere from 10sec to 2min) for website visitors to play (but not download). There can be multiple audios per web page.
No problem. QuickTime. X-platform and you can set whether it's downloadable or not - but that's really moot, as anything on the web can be captured, especially with the 'analog loophole' such as WireTap or Audio Hi Jack.
I need a combination of buttons from very simple round (or square 20x20 pix) to a bar style with volume control, both with the option to change the color to fit my site.
Buttons are your business - nothing to do with playback functionality. They are usually just a link to a file - your site should be set up to play anything, by anything, that's clicked on… Flash, QT whatever
a player that runs from my site and not somebody else's.
So you're hosting? I'd hate to go down that path… what if your site takes off? What if it goes down?You'd never handle the bandwidth. IMO better to buy inexpensive (but competent) hosting for $10 or so per month and avoid the headaches, and expand the hosting service as and when required.
See here for example:
http://soundpropaganda.com/blog/loudness.html
I have QT files, not downloadable (well, supposedly) from text links (check the green "Here's" links). The link method (graphic, text, whatever) is your design, not part of the playback system.

Portege R600 - Difference between cooling options

I have a Portege R600 with Windows 7 installed, but I guess my query is generic to all Porteges regardless of the version of Windows.
Could someone please explain to me what the different "cooling options" in the power settings actually mean? I couldn't find details anywhere.
Does battery optimized mean that the cpu fan gets activated only beyond a certain temperature? And what's the difference between cooling and maximum performance?
Is there any other way to set the cpu fan speed directly?
This is a very important point to me, because the fan of the Portege is terrible, too noisy, to the extent that I am considering return the laptop unless I find a solution. Sometimes it sounds like a Ferrari engine at a billion rpms!
Thanks!

This points to:
[http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm]
which mentions that:
"If the sound of the CPU fan seems too loud, a setting that optimizes battery life will also cause the CPU fan to turn on less frequently."
However, my problem was quite the opposite: optimizing battery life causes the fan to stay off most of the times but to make the noise of a Ferrari engine at max speed when it activates. Optimizing performance, instead, means the fan is almost always on but barely noticeable, and never makes the disturbing Ferrari-like noise.
Maybe it's just me, but that kind of noise prevents me from using the laptop and would have cause me to return it had I not found a solution. I simply think that it's such a big potential problem that a clear solution should have been explained in huge letters, all the more so because the solution is very banal. It might be just my opinion, but judging by reviews and comments on forums, I'd say it isn't.

Best Export Options for QT5 Viewing

I run a site for Mac OS 7 users and want to upload some videos there in QuickTime 5 format (the latest version for Mac OS 7). I am working on a G4 running Tiger and QuickTime 7 Pro.
What are some of your opinions on the best export options for QT5 viewing, distrubed over the internet, at say 320x240?

Alas, the data rate of these two video codecs must be a lot higher (at least 25% more than the more modern codecs) to ensure a good visual experience.
A neat html "trick" is to encode with these higher data rates but at a smaller dimension. Instead of 320X240 use 160X120. The smaller dimensions help keep the file size down. During html playback use the object and embed tag to scale="tofit" and enlarge the playback area.
Your src (source) tag dimensions are larger than the original source file. Using scale="tofit" tags the file plays at the designated size instead of the original (160X120) size.
The pages hosted for .Mac users (iWeb and Homepage) use the opposite tag (scale="aspect") that fit the source to the template of the page. One of mine as an example:

Updated "Selecting the Best Compiler Options" now available

The technical article "Selecting the Best Compiler Options" by Darryl Gove has been updated for Sun Studio 12 Update 1 and is now available at:
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/documentation/techart/compiler_flags/
Here's the abstract:
+This article suggests how to get the best performance from an
UltraSPARC or x86/EMT64 (x64) processor running on the latest Solaris
platforms by compiling with the best set of compiler options and the
latest compilers. These are suggestions of things you should try, but
before you release the final version of your program, you should
understand exactly what you have asked the compiler to do.+

Ok sorry I've taken so long to respond. The reply button wouldn't pop up for me to reply!
There was never a dialog box asking for me to select the program from installed programs when I open the pdf from outlook express. But when I opened a pdf from my desktop it asked that question and I had it "always use this program to open this type of file." So I assumed that it was would work when opening from outlook express. But it doesn't.
I've tried unclicking the protected mode button under the preferences general section. And finally I'm not sure how to post screenshots of the attachment thumbnail and dialog. I'm looking all over my keyboard for a button to push I don't have a clue as to what to do! I do have a print Scr button but when I click on it nothing happens. I've tried holding down the shift key and the button and the alt key and print scr button but nothing happens.
Could it be that somehow it's not recognizing ARCO.EXCH.DOCUMENT as that's what it thinks the type of document is?
I've already created an association for pdf files and it'll open them on my desktop, just not in outlook express.

What's the best importing option for a Flash video?

I've got a few encoded high definition videos that are now .flv files and I'm wondering which is the best option to choose when importing the .flv file into my Flash project? I'm looking for fastest loading/streaming with best quality to be the result. If I choose a streaming option like progressive download from a web server, would the choice be dependent on the type of server the file(s) are hosted on? I'm using Flash Professional 8.

Hi,
The best importing option for video is streaming from flash media server. Below I discuss the drawbacks if you use other alternatives.
i) If you use embed video option
File size will go huge. Loading time will be higher. This is not a good option if you have big size video files.
ii) If you use progressive download from a web server
Video file gets downloaded to the client machine during the progressive download. Since video file is downloaded into the client machine, there are chances of the external user to reuse the same video.
iii) If you use streaming from flash media server
Video directly gets streamed from Flash Media Server. In this case, video file download does not happen on the client side. Video file security concerns are already addressed by Flash Media Server protocols.
Thanks

Best support option for failing Bluetooth?

In the past few weeks or so, my Macbook has been losing bluetooth connectivity intermittently. I was hoping that somehow the 10.4.8 update would help, but if anything it's only gotten worse. Now it doesn't just happen when the laptop is hot, but also right after a cold boot.
Anyway, I'm fed up and was wondering what would be the best support option. Should I call Applecare or take it to my local genius bar?

So the problem was fixed at the Apple Store. They replaced my logic board and the bluetooth board + cable.
I have to say that I'm impressed with the support I got this time. They ordered the parts and let me keep my laptop until they came in. I called to check in with them after several days when I hadn't heard back from them and was told they were still waiting on a few parts. The guy called me right back after he checked in the days shipment to tell me that the rest of the parts were in. I brought the laptop in that evening and the repair was complete the next morning. Very nice.
I just wanted to throw that out there as I have posted my share of complaints about my MacBook here.

Best storage option

hello
is GPFS on AIX considered the best storage option for oracle RAC ?
thanks

1) ASM is Oracle best practice for storage of both single instance and RAC 10g Oracle databases
2) Once you use it and know it, there is no come back from ASM, is by far the best performing, easy to manage and flexible storage option.
3) Dont be afraid of raw devices + ASM, you will configure your raw devices once and then all the work you have to do is from time to time just add new disks according to your requirements, ASM + Oracle Managed Files will do all the dirty job: Extend datafiles, balance and spread IO.

Newbie here: best sizing option while exporting for print?

What is an ideal/standard option for exporting and sizing a photo for print when you don't know if they will print 4x6, 5x7 or 8x10? Is there a good option that will consider anything? Bottom line: best sizing option while exporting? Thanks

If you don't know the size that someone will print at, then you don't resize at all. Leave the Resize to Fit box unchecked in the Image Sizing portion of the Export dialog box Let the person doing the printing do the resizing (if necessary)

Hi,
One of my clients has an environment similar to yours with an internal pair of F5s and a pair used for the access from the internet.
I am only going to focus on the method using an F5 Load Balancer and SSL Offloading. the setup of the F5 will not be covered in detail but a reference to the documentation to support SharePoint and SSL Offloading will be provided
Since you arte going to be using SSL Offloading you do not need to extend your WebApps to use separate IIS WebSites with Unique IP Addresses
Configure the F5 with SSL Offloading
Configure a Internal AAM for SSL (HTTPS) for each WebApp that maps to the Public HTTP FQDN AAM Setting for each WebApp
Our environment has an additional component we require RSA Authentication for all internet facing Sites. So we have the extra step of extending the WebApp to a separate IIS WebSite and configuring RSA for each extended WebSite.Reference:

Best export option for Sound Designer

Hi everyone,
I am working on a new short film and I am working with a Sound Designer and composer. We want to create a 5.1 mix for the film (which I have never done before). So I am trying to figure out what would be the best export option for him to work with to make his life easier.
Providing him with just a ProRes export won't help him match up to my cuts in the time line since he doesn't use FCP X. So my thought is that we will have matching files and folder structure for both video and audio before I start editing. But what I am not understanding is once I have a complete rough cut, how do I get him a cut list so that he can totally match up my cuts with the same audio files on his system?
Any advice?
Thanks.

See this pic for an example of how my exports turn out:
http://www.brettmichaelwiesman.com/temp/qtexport.jpg
First off, the titling style is not ideal for DV (or DVD). That is, your font should be a bit fatter (or, at least, bold) and perhaps 1-2 point sizes larger. (This is all because the DV codec makes titles look like s--t if the font size is small and narrow)
Also, for your LiveType files, make sure FCP is interpreting your alpha channel correctly. For every LiveType file placed in your timeline, select it, then press Command-9 to bring up the Item Properties dialog. In the column for Alpha, make sure it says it says Black. If, for instance, it reads Straight, Control-click [right-click] on Straight, then select Black from the contextual menu. You should notice your text 'popping out' a little more. You'll have to re-render, of course.
Also, in QuickTime Player, press Command-, (that's  + comma) to bring up QT's preferences. Make sure that the box for Use High Quality Video Setting when available is checked. (In order to get this working, it's probably best to set this, then restart QT - or close, then open, all movies). With the High Quality flag always used, your titling should always look better in QT player. (That is, there is no change made to your actual file, but at least when previewing, you'll get a better idea of things)
After you've made these changes, export as you were (Current Settings) and let us know if you see any improvements.

Best Cooling Pad for rMBP 15

What's the best cooling pad for my 15 rmbp? I know apple laptops require a certain kind.

Apple's documentation suggests you keep your portable on a flat hard surface, to allow air to circulate and cool. Putting it on a blanket, your legs, a pillow or other soft surface would defeat that.
That being said, when my son had a problem with overheating his MacBook - he damaged the fans by spilling bourbon on it - he used a bag of frozen peas. He didn't tell me what brand.
Best of luck.

Best cooler for 645 max LRU

Just wondering what all the experts thinks is the best cooler for a P4 2.26 ON THE 645DX Max2 LRU .
After assembling the PC, I don't want to take the m/b out to bolt on a cooler, so how about one that clips on!!!!
Regards
Slayer921

Yeah, i'm looking for a good price vs performance vs noise solution really. Both the Volcano and the Vantec Tornado are really loud, but they seem to perform quite well.
