Blu-ray DL vs Blu-ray SL

Hello, i want to know is there any quality difference b/n Blu-ray Dual Layer & Blu-ray Single Layer ? i mean in picture quality.

Esmael,
No, there shouldn't be. Well, dual layer just gives you more space. So if you are encoding a lot of video to put on one disc, then the single layer is going to force to you encode at a lower bit-rate to make everything fit, thus lower quality.

Lol, figured out the first part. Just for those who may be searching, when you click on the Display Preferences, and click on the arraingment tab... it not only shows where your two screens will be displayed, but the WHITE BAR at the top of one screen is the dock/toolbar. Click and hold to grab this and just slide it over to the screen you'd like it to be on.
You have to release it IN the screen box, not on top of it... and it should pop right over to the new (or old) screen. At any rate, you can put the dock on either (or any) screen that you prefer.
I am thinking of ordering more of these. Lol. 3 monitor setup seems like it would be crazy good.
Still looking for the answer to keeping the new 16" screen on the right without switching between screen #s with that... not expose... Lion feature.
Thanks. Hope my other question has an answer out here.

When I'm browsing on Safari, it all of a sudden cuts off and the screen turns blue. It turns blue for about 5 seconds and then returns to the desktop screen. Any idea what's going on?

Encore insists on transcoding H.264 Blu-ray encoded file (Blu-ray legal)

I have a Blu-ray legal .m4v file encoded out of Adobe Media Encoder as H.264 Blu-ray VBR 2-Pass, maximum render, target 25Mbps, maximum 30Mbps.
My project is H.264, maximum 40Mbps.
Encore keeps listing the video file as untranscoded and wants to transcode it.
I've tried encoding just a portion of the video file instead of the whole thing using the same settings and when I bring this into Encore it recognizes it as Blu-ray legal and sets it to "Don't Transcode".
Can anyone think of a reason as to why this is happening? I really don't want to sit through another eight hour encode that could degregade pq further.
Thanks!

A .264 file from x264Pro or MeGUI that is BD-legal will import into En and be automatically set to Do Not Transcode. So the file extension isn't the problem. There are some esoteric H.264 parameters in x264 that must be set precisely in order to have En set the .264 file to DNT. I suspect those same parameters will have to be set in MainConcept's encoder.
If you want to jump in the deep end, here are the x264 parameters that produce BD-legal output that also make En happy:
program --pass 2 --bitrate 16000 --stats ".stats" --open-gop bluray --interlaced --pic-struct --level 4.1 --bframes 3 --ref 4 --slices 4 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --b-pyramid strict --keyint 30 --min-keyint 3 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --weightp 0 --colorprim "bt709" --transfer "bt709" --colormatrix "bt709" --output "output" "input"
Obviously interlacing, bitrate, vbv-maxrate and such can be set as desired based on the source footage and delivery requirements.

How this light rays and fogg blue impression can be made in Photoshop or in illustrator?

Hi All,
I am in dire need of your help, How can this special effect in attached image can be produced. To be precise, I mean light rays coming from dj player and if you notice there is blue foggy impression on tshirt , How these things can be made in Adobe Photoshop CS3 or in Adobe Illustrator CS3?

• create a vertical Gradient Layer black to nothing
• create a horizontal Gradient Layer nothing to white to nothing
• apply »Create Clipping Mask«
• add black background
• convert that whole stack of layers to a Smart Object or flatten it (being as CS3 will not support perspectival transformation of SO)
• invoke Edit > Transform > Perspective or Warp
• create a Gradient Map Layer blue to cyan (or whatever) and clipping mask it to that layer
• set the Gradient Map Layer to Color and the Layer with the Gradient to Screen (that way it should work on all backgrounds)
• if necessary apply some Gaussian Blur to the gradient layer

White Transparency over Blue Background is too Blue!

I know this is not strictly a DW question but hey, I'm going to ask it anyway!
Here's an image of what I want to achieve in a Fireworks screenshot:
The content panel is a white fill with transparency but because it's over Blue, it's still Blue! I know that's how it works but, I want it to be White or possibly, Manilla. I'll get the transparent panel by using a .png and the vanishing point words will be a background .png as well. I'm not sure if I will be better off using a gradient image for <body> and another <div> for the words image but perhaps someone can give me a few clues about how to tackle this?
Here's my Photoshop image:
I have asked the question in the PS forum in the hope there might be some color theory trickery to apply but I'm not if that's a runner.
So, any ideas from a coding perspective? The only thing I can think of (but haven't tried yet) is to add the words image to the body and the content panel?

Try this: Borders added to show divisions. You can remove them.

Blu-ray has the blues

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/10/20/BUH113J4QH.DTL&type=tech
I've been thinking a bit about this situation, particularly related to buying HD equipment. I guess the answer is that it won't be a big year for blu-ray but next year is still fairly unknown.

October 08, 2008
"The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) recently reported that sell-in indicators for Blu-ray products are proving more positive than even the most optimistic sales forecasts and market analyst reports.
"We have good reason to predict that this Q4 sales period will see the Blu-ray Disc revolution take hold in US mainstream markets and we will witness strong sales performance in every other geographical region," commented Victor Matsuda, Chairman of the BDA Global Promotions Committee.
"The 30 September release of Iron Man is another good example of Blu-ray's growing impact on movie releases. In the U.S., for the week commencing 29 September, the BD release of Iron Man is the best-selling movie of all packaged media (including DVD) on Amazon.com."
"At the IFA exhibition in Berlin last month, renowned media industry analyst Jim Bottoms (from Futuresource Consulting) predicted that in the US, Blu-ray Disc would end 2008 in an unassailable position as the next gen home entertainment packaged media format."

Blue startup screen stops @ blue bar, please help

Hello, I woke up to my 17" pb (os 10.4) and the screen was black unix style. I figured I would restart and everything would be fine. When I restarted I got to the blue screen with the blue bar. The bar goes all the way but stops there. I started in Single User Mode and ran fsck and it comes back drive "ok". I can't start in safe mode, it hangs at the same place. I can start it in "target mode" using another mac and my files are all there. I have install disks and after I get to choose "english" the message "you can not use this disk on this computer"
Please help I have got to my wits end.

Upgraded to ios6 on my iphone 3gs and email is not displaying images. It has a blue box with a blue question mark inside

I just upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 3gs and I noticed on a couple of incoming emails that the images and information are not being displayed. There is a blue square box with a blue question mark inside. I already tried to press the home key and power key to restart. The email still does not display correctly. I went on my laptop to retrieve that same email and I was able to see the graphics and information, so the problem is on the iphone. I received two emails like this, so I'm missing all the important information. I also tried to retrieve my email through the internet browser and I still have the same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I forgot to mention that I have an Ipad 2 also and I can view the email information on there also. I received an email from Party city and it said to click here to print out the coupon. So I click the coupon and there is the little blue box with the question mark. This is the first time I've seen this happen, as I have printed out the coupons before. Maybe it has to do with the IOS6 update, because this just started to happen right after the update.

Videos played on QT 7.1.1 are blue shifted - red is blue, green is turquoise, etc. ???

Looks like crap. ... Except it is blue.

Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

2008 Macbook shows desktop, goes blue, reloads desktop, goes blue.

My 2008 Macbook restarts and shows the desktop, then goes blue. It then shows the desktop again before going blue again. Cannot open Finder or anything. Anyone have this problem or any suggestions?

What's the OS X version you are using? Try the following:
Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Let's see if that helps any.

Qosmio G30: blue vertical lines and blue screen crash dump

I have a Qosmio G30, Model No. PQG32C-AV605E with BIOS Version 3.40.
I want to update to 3.90 but I cannot enter Windows.
How do I update BIOS with no Windows available?
Is there a DOS utility?
If so, please send it and I will download it or send me an email on where to download.
The G30 I have has blue vertical lines across the screen when the machine starts up in VGA mode upon entering Windows for the first time.
But the machine can't enter windows, it crashes and dumps and restarts before that.
I replaced the RAM with new RAM but it had no effect.
I ran the diagnostics utility and the hard drives are OPTIMAL in RAID 1 so no errors there.
The reinstall of Windows went smoothly: I just can't get into VGA mode without lines.
I was told by Toshiba tech support that a BIOS upgrade would fix it.
Thanks for any helps.

I made best experience with Toshiba support. The ASP guys were always helpful
I can understand that you are upset but this is cannot be a explanation for you last replay
Fact is that you can update the BIOS ONLY running windows OS because you can download ONLY win-based BIOS!
If you are not able to do this (no matter why) then you will need to get in contact with local ASP (service provider) in your country who could update the BIOS using a traditional BIOS version.
But in my personal opinion the vertical lines are not related to any BIOS issue and I think a BIOS update would not help you in my opinion its more hardware issue as an software issue.
Therefore you should get in contact with an local ASP in order to discover what's part is affected.
Good luck
