BRICK WALL

Hello and thanks to anyone who posts in this thread.
I just finished editing all my wedding ceremony, reception, and honeymoon footage, barely fits on one DL DVD. I I authored the DVD in iDVD. Because of all the submenus and slideshows...my father-in-law says it's a pain to grab the remote to go to the next video...there should be a play all button. Now, I have my own thoughts and opinions on the remote issue...lets not get in to that...i just want to make him happy...lol.
This is my brick wall...
I have DVD Studio Pro 4...it's not that complicated of a DVD to use it. Can I take what I've done in iDVD, and add that one button in DVDSP4?
I have Toast - Can I do it in Toast?
Please help me climb the wall. Thank you.

Hello,
DVDSP can do this. I don't know the exact steps off the top of my head. However, DVDSP will not use any iDVD assets. Your sequence will need re-compressed via Compressor. Or, for such a long sequence(s), I might suggest picking up LaCie's FastCoder (http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10498). I am just trying it out as I type this but so far so good! Near real-time encoding of sequences in an elementary stream (what DVDSP needs). Compare that to at least 1.5x encoding on super fast systems. Well worth the $50. Another reason to use DVDSP with such long content is that DVDSP will use compressed audio, iDVD uses full quality PCM (uncompressed) audio. This will chew up a chunk of disk real-estate.
Don't know about Toast, other than your project would still need to be re-compressed.
Finally, any type of media, discs, hard drives, compact flash, etc... always has less useable space than "advertised" due to how the bytes are calculated:

Yes of course its Photoshop. Cut the person out copy to clipboard paste onto toe brick wall document and texture the layer using a displacement map for the brick wall. Look for Photoshop tutorials on using a displacement map.

Brick Wall Problem: Array of Clusters, Size of array from reference

Good Morning Forums,
I have hit a brick wall with my application and I am hoping somebody can help!
I have an array of clusters of indeterminate size (the cluster is generic, data contained not relevant.).
Inputs to the VI are: a reference to the array, and a variant containing the data.
My problem is I need to determine the array size from these two inputs and I cannot find a way to do it!
If the array contained a standard data type I can use the class name property to determine data type, and the size of the array returned from "select size" property to determine dimension size. With this information i can cast the variant into the correct data type and use this to determine the size of the array. If the data is a cluster the class name simply returns "cluster" so I cannot cast the variant and therefore am unable to determine the size.
I am not worried about casting the data (once i determine the size this bit is no issue), I just need to determine the size (and preferably number of dimensions) of the array. Can this be done?
Cheers for any help

There seem to be a couple of potential solutions.:
#1 if the varient is created within LabVIEW you can wite size(s) to a varient attribute. This would be pretty straightforward and easy to implement- I imagine you would have thought of that so you may not have access to the code writing cluster to varient and it gets a bit trickier.
#2 cast the varient to string and return string length- this should give you a measure of total size and you would need to know the size per element of cluster (just cast one instance of cluster array to varient and then to string with size and size++) but this only returns the total size of the array since nDim arrays are actually stored sequentially.
Hope this helped

Using a Brick Wall .jpg as a Texture - in PSE and AI?

Hello Photoshop Elements users and experts: thanks in advance for reading this post and for your generous help.
I would like to use the brick wall in the following image:
To be applied to the surrounding edge of an illustration in Adobe Illustrator so that the billboard blends into the bricked wall which it is in front of
How can I accomplish this? Thanks for your help!

What do you mean by "blends" ? Do you simply want to superimpose the billboard over the brick wall or something more elaborate?

Brick walls in dvd player 4.6.1

Hi all,
I upgraded to 10.4.3 from 10.3 a week ago. I'm using dvd player 4.6.1 as well.
Now when I play regular (not burned) dvd's, you know, the kind one buys in a store, I get a lot of visible (digital ?) distortion.
It's like the pictures have no smoothing anymore. Horizontal lines will flip in slow camera sweeps. Shoulders will have " brick-wall " shapes. As will other horizontal parts like lips, eyes, eyebrows, highways, etc. When I boot up in 9.2.2 and watch the same dvd's, I don't have any problems of this kind !!!!
Is there anyone out there experiencing the same problems ?

Hi,
It took me some time, but I did not like the idea of removing and modifying me otherwise good working 10.4.3 system. So the last week of december I bought an extra hard disk and started upgrading my G4. It now has the original 20 G HD, an 80 G and a 250 G HD installed.
I now have two partitions on the 80 G disk : 9.2.2 and 10.4.4
On the 20 G disk is my original 9.2.2 and a 10.2.8 .
I was able to copy the 3.2 DVD program from the 10.2.8 system onto my 10.4.4 partition and it works fine there !
I now can compare the 3.2 DVD player and the 4.6.5 DVD player directly. It turns out the 3.2 version has nearly perfect image quality (no distortion) and the 4.6.5 has the same problem as the 4.6.1 version : distortion like the steps of a staircase. So Apple did not resolve the problem with the upgrade, or my setup is not supported any more; but I don't believe that.
(my G4 hardware : G4 400, 2G Ram, 23" HD Cinema display, 19" 109S philips crt, ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128 MB, OS 10.4.4)
If needed I can build a second 10.4.4 system and I probably will, to be absolutely sure.
Greetings,

Banging my head against a brick wall

Some background information: I currently have two phone lines, let’s call them line A and line B.
At the beginning of September I decided to move by broadband to BT and signed up online for a Total Broadband package to be activated on line A (the line on which my previous broadband service was active). During the signing up process I was asked if I wished to save money and sign up to the line rental saver, which I did. I got my order confirmation by e-mail and thought all was well.
Having ordered BT Broadband for line A, I decided that I would cancel line B, as I had no use for it.
Shortly after the initial order confirmation e-mail, I received a further e-mail and noticed it stated that new services were starting on both line A and line B, which confused me as I had never signed up for any changes to line B. So I called Customer Services to check out the situation and explained that I wished to cancel line B and did not understand why services relating to that line were mentioned in my e-mail. I was informed that BT was unable to do anything at the time due to there being an order on the line. However, I was told that if I called back once the broadband had been activated on line A, then everything could be sorted out.
So, as soon as the broadband order had been completed on line A, I called back Customer Services to cancel line B. However, I was told that I had paid the line rental saver for line B and would lose that money if I cancelled the line. I checked my account online and, sure enough, BT had activated the broadband on line A but, inexplicably, had applied the line rental saver to line B.
Immediately, I called Customer Services to sort out the problem: I wanted BT to change the line rental saver from line B to line A (as per my order) and cancel line B. However, I was told that it was not possible to change the line rental saver from one line to another. I tried to explain that the error was on the part of BT and that it was down to them to find a solution, only to be met by protestations that this was not possible. I have now spoken to customer services on three separate occasions to try and sort out the problem, without success. Twice I have requested call-backs from a manager and heard nothing either time.
I have now reached the end of my tether as I do not understand why BT is claiming that they are unable to correct their own error. As a result of the situation, I am currently paying for a line I no longer want and am unable to cancel the line without losing a fair amount of money.
Where did it all go wrong with BT customer service? I am sick of speaking to people who struggle to grasp the nature of issues and appear powerless to address any problems unless they are on their crib sheets. It is very frustrating that BT makes it impossible to escalate problems to managers when needed and I am incredulous that the Company is trying to claim that it is unable to sort out a billing error of its own making (particularly as I would imagine that the change of line rental saver from one line to another is simply a matter of changing some details on a computer system).
I hope that someone here can offer some help or point me in the right direction, as I currently feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall and am very disappointed with BT’s response so far.
Many thanks

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "hugging"? Do you want the text to contain a pattern overlay or just the layer beneath it? Or perhaps you want a pattern overlay on both layers? Click on screenshot.

For example, you might find that the brick wall is not the only problem. There may be other devices pumping out enough wireless interference to be making things even worse.
I agree with Bob Timmons that Ethernet is best and most reliable. And that powerline (which I use) is easier and potentially faster than wireless...but only if your power lines do not have electrical devices plugged in which produce electrical noise on the line. Powerline will be slower than Gigabit Ethernet.
Ethernet cable is the only way to ensure that the signal goes directly there in a shielded way for a clear fast signal. Wireless and powerline are much slower because of all the other things the signal has to fight past to get to the other device.

I can't get a signal through whole house because of a brick wall What range extender do you recommend to be used with my wireless router ( apple brand)

I can't get a signal through whole house because of a brick wall What range extender do you recommend to be used with my wireless router ( apple brand)

Very few 3rd party wireless extenders will work with an Apple router, so your best bet is always to use an extender that is the same brand as the main router. An AirPort Express is a popular choice for this type of application with another Apple router.
If you had a Cisco router, then a Cisco extender would be your best bet. Same for Netgear, etc.
But......a wireless extender can only "extend" the quality of wireless signal that it receives, and not much of a wireless signal is going to make it through a brick wall, so whether any extender might do what you want is open to question.
You won't know whether an extender using wireless to connect will work to your satisfaction in your home until you actually try it out in your home.
The performance will always be much better if you can connect the extending device back to the main router using a wired Ethernet cable connection.
If it is not possible to run the Ethernet cable, a pair of Ethernet power line adapters might be able to send the signal over the existing AC power lines in your home. The theory with these devices is that you already have the wiring in place, you just need the adapters.
In practice though, things do not always work as well as the theory might suggest, so if you decide to try a pair of adapters, it might be a good idea to understand the store's return policies before you buy.

HT1349 It's impossible to contact anyone from Apple helpdesk. You get sent from pillar to post only to hit a brick wall. I need some help as my Audiobooks have disappeared from my library. Been trying for 2 days to get help but can't get through to anyone

Apple help service is crap. I've been trying to contact someone for 2 days now and can't get through to anyone. My audiobooks have disappeared from my Library - I paid a lot of money for these! None of the 'contact us' buttons get me through to anyone, you get sent electronically from pillar to post and end up hitting a brick wall.What a disgusting service - they can't even design a simple way of contacting them. I thought microsoft were bad but Apple are even worse!

the thing is i never threw away the project plus i have a copy of it lol... it has something to do with me moving the folder im just sure of it. because when i checked the trash when i tried to delete that new folder, its there.... thats the only thing i deleted from the event library window. then the other projects that were useless that i threw away. should i restore those? i havent emptied my trash.
also i could never find where it saves everything... so i just did a search... (im not a very techy guy) plus im unsure how to back it up... if its a feature in the program then i havent figured it out yet...
but i think if i put the "final cut projects" folder back where i took it from it should be fine. im THINKING thats the case. the only problem is i dont know where i got it from. sounds silly i know but i found the folder from doing a search in finder.

Faulty UK USB Power Brick/Wall Charger Drains iPhone Battery

I'm writing this post more from an informative perspective, rather than from a question seeking a response.
I have a genuine Apple UK USB wall charger which is at least 2 years old - it either came with my current iPhone 5 or old iPhone 4 from 4 years ago (both look identical).
Recently on charging my phone overnight, I've woken up (late - as the alarm consequently didn't work) to find that the power had drained from my phone rather than the expected charge happening. Having an old phone, I assumed it was the fault of the phone and booked it in for a genius bar visit. Being annoyed about the 1 week+ delay for the next genius bar appointment, I purchased a new iPhone to use temporarily for a week which would then be returned for a full refund on receipt of a replacement for mine.
On testing out the brand new iPhone with the charger, it appears that the same happens:
On plugging in the new phone to the charger once it has been fully charged (100%), within 5 minutes the charge in the phone has become 97%.
I'm guessing it is quite unusual for a USB brick to fail in this way - to actually drain the phone of charge?

I have the dock connector option for my factory stereo as well and am also seeing it drain the iPhone battery. What's odd is that it used to charge just fine.
Initially the iPhone wouldn't route audio through the dock connector in my vehicle. It would see that it was plugged in and gave the Airplane Mode prompt, but would only play audio from its internal speaker. It did, however, charge as expected. Then the iPhone software update 1.0.1 came out which solved the audio issue and allowed me to get the audio to my deck properly. I can't say for sure if it was still charging the iPhone at that point, but it definitely wasn't /draining/ it. Then, right around the time of the 1.0.2 update I started to notice significant drops in battery power when unplugging it after a drive to or from work (usually around 25 minutes). The audio still works fine, but the battery seems to drop at least 15-20% over that drive, whether I have any music playing or just have the iPhone idle but plugged in.
So, software problem, maybe? I have a hard time believing something suggendly changed with the dock connector in my vehicle...

Airport Extreme with iPod Touch? But 2 floors of concrete & Brick Walls??

Qwik-Question: Can Airport Extreme penetrate brick and 2 floors of thick concrete to reach my iPod Touch on the upper floor??
_FULL DETAILS:_
Hello! I have been using Macs since 1989 and should be a pro by now-- but things have advanced so much that...
...that I use Apple Discussions regularly!
+OK I have a wired ethernet with a cable modem going to a D-Link Router, going to a switch with a MacBook, G4733 and PBG4-12" (i.e. PB-Helium!)(Loveit) plus 2 ethernet printers-- in my basement office, then nothing on the "ground" floor, but another "switch" on the next floor above (in the US this would be the second floor; but in Europe it would be #1, with Ground Floor "0" and basement "-1").+ On the upper floor is an iMac (2005) and cables to attach other Macs/PC's as needed.
Primarily I want WIRELESS so that my iPod Touch with the January 2008 software update is able to access the www for eM and weather and stocks etc. I've tried this via borrowing a neighbor's WiFi (with his permission) last week-- worked fine! (His PC wireless was located on an upper floor, not the basement!)
Other reasons for going wireless-- (i)using my PB or MB on the "ground" floor (no cable there); and (ii)when my daughter visits-- with her VISTA PC (although we've had problems when she uses a cable in my home network-- VISTA kicks-out the Macs after a while and I have to re-initialize the D-Link Router!!!)
(NOTE: I plan to keep my printers and the current MB / PB / G4733 primarily on the wired network - I assume I can do this, i.e. have both wired and wireless and choose which I want when I want it?)
_AND NOW THE KEY QUESTION IS:_ *WILL THE 2 LAYERS OF CONCRETE AND BRICK IN THIS BELGIAN HOUSE ATTENUATE THE SIGNAL SO MUCH THAT I CANNOT USE WIFI WITH THE ITOUCH FROM THE TOP FLOOR??*
And if so, what is the best solution?
1. Just install an Apple Extreme in basement and pray?
2. Somehow attache the Apple Extreme to the upstairs switch (is that possible??)
3. Someone said that an "airport" may be better for this than an Apple Extreme? Why??
4. Other-- a repeater i.e. Apple Extreme in basement with a "repeater" somewhere (ground floor?)
I really am not sure-- and would be disappointed if I spent $200 (is that the price? Likely more in Europe in Euros!) for an Apple Extreme in the basement and then find the signal is not available on the top floor...
Thanks for any comments, references etc.
Best regards,
Steve Saturday 8 March 2008

TS1424 Anyone else running into brick walls when trying to register or get a rebate on an iTunes gift card?

All I get is a runaround when trying to activate a $25 iTunes card. Many of the numbers were missing (missing, leaving blank spaces when printed, not scratched out). The store where I bought the card (Future Shop Vancouver) wouldn't do anything about it and told me I had to call Apple directly. So I jumped through the hoops of talking to thge robot on Apple's toll-free 1-800-MY-APPLE only to have the robot tell me only emails are acceptable. (I'm not sure why discussing my problem with an iTunes card is even an option in the telephone process). Getting increasingly exasperated, I went online and laid out my problem. It took hours to get a response... I was told I had to scan both sides of the card and store receipt and email it to them. I did that right away (7:45 am PST). At the end of the day when I had heard nothing further I went online and checked the status of my problem. THE CASE WAS CLOSED!
When I fired back an angry response, I was told by email:
thank you for providing the scanned images. Your inquiry is very important to me, so I have requested assistance with the issue you reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
SERIOUSLY? An investigation? This is a $25 iTunes card. Apple has the card codes and knows everything. All I want is to be able to somehow add $25 to my iTunes account.
What's worse, the iTunes Store Customer Support representative who is dealing with my problem states he works "Sunday-Wednesday and Saturday 9:30 PM-6:30 AM CST". This is Thursday. I guess the soonest I will know anything is MAYBE Saturday. If I'm lucky.
This is customer service?
