Brightness differences between Menus and Video Tracks

I am trying to learn DVD Studio Pro 3.
My project has a "roster" menu that leads to several submenus. I want an animated transition from the "roster" menu, to each of the submenus.
I built each of the animations in After Effects. They all start with the same first frame -- the "roster" menu. Each animation has a different ending frame -- one of the submenus. I rendered the animations as QuickTime movies in After Effects.
Also in After Effects, I used the "Save frame as" menu to make a flat .PSD file of the first frame (for the "roster" menu,) and each end frame (for the submenus.)
I imported all the files into DVD Studio Pro. I laid out the menu structure, drew buttons, and connected them all the way I wanted. Each button on the "roster" menu points to the start of a track, and the End Jump of that track points to a submenu.
The logic of all this works the way I expect, both in DVD Studio Pro's simulator, and on a burnt DVD. However, there is a noticeable brightness difference between the video tracks and the menus.
How can this be, if they are derived from the same graphic source?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

There could be a ColorSync issue with the PSD. Either take it into Photoshop and try no ColorSync (or a different setting), or take a single frame of the video and make it last a while, and use that as a motion menu.
I have cured these differences both by changing the ColorSync settings of the PSD, and also by setting the monitor to generic RGB. That was enough to make DVD SP ignore the ColorSync settings in the PSD I was using.

Exporting Multichannel MXF: Difference between adaptable and standard tracks

Hello:
I have to export a mxf file with 4 channels:
-1st channel: program stereo (L)
-2nd channel: program stereo (R)
-3rd channel: program stereo (L)
-4th channel: program stereo (R)
I have a master stereo .wav, when creating the sequence, what is the difference between these two options?
1:
-Making all the tracks standard, putting the master both in 1st and 2nd tracks
-A1: output 1+2, A2: output 3+4
2:
-Making all the tracks adaptable, putting the master only in 1st track
-A1: output 1+3, A2: output 2+4
I don't understand what does Premiere do with adaptable tracks, how does it distributes the master's two channels?
Thank you very much

Ok, interesting update!
I opened two new projects in CS5, and imported the "problem" CS3 P2 export footage. One project was preset to 1080p 24, the other set to 1080i 60. Still pixelated in the 1080p, but clear in the 1080i project, only when paused. Still pixelates when playing, even though resolution in the project window is set to full during both playback and pause. That's good enough for me! It would appear that even though the footage was shot in progressive mode, it still needs to be a 1080i project. Also, simply opening the CS3 project in CS5 and allowing automatic conversion opened the door to failure. I read somewhere that CS5 is more strict about formats than prior versions, and it appears to be true.
Also, I've read that DVCProHD footage out of the HVX-200P is not really progressive, regardless of 24p mode settings. That also seems to be true, based on this experience.
I'm still going to burn a BD-R just to make sure, and if I feel like blowing a second BD-R, I'll test the 1080p project export as well. Hopefully, this thread can help others with similar footage. I'm still curious what changes in the CS5 coding manifests this issue, where it didn't in CS3. I imagine that will only be answered by one of the developers that wrote the code, or another Adobe employee that knows via said developer.

Scripting: How To Tell Between Audio and Video Track?

When I create a collection of tracks from the main library and iterate through them, I get everything (in my case, video and audio tracks - no podcasts or TV shows as of yet). In checking the "Kind" class, they all have a value of "1".
How can I tell if a track I'm looking at is audio or video? Also, when I do start downloading podcasts and/or TV shows, is there a way to differentiate them also?
Thanks

**** so much for that on the Western Digitals. The interface is USB3
goodness, yes, youve got one of those OLD WD drives that has the controller board AND USB all as ONE SINGLE UNIT
write that HD off.

So being USB3 doesn't tell us anything at all.
Yeah it does, it tells me its one of those OLD HD that was made with the "lets save 2 cents and make it all one piece" philosophical designs.

Differences between cookies and sessions

Hi there,
I want to learn the differences between sessions and cookies in PHP.Please help me.
Please let me know if there any video demonstrations that explain sessions and cookies.
Thanks in advance.

Cookies and server side sessions are related in that they are both ways to persist data. This is required because of the fact that http is a stateless protocol, meaning that each request and response are independent transactions. Cookies are stored on the client. You might use them to store the contents of a shopping cart, or a user login id for a particular site. Or you could store a setting so that the user is automatically logged in, similar to what occurs here in the adobe site / forums. You can set various options for when cookies expire. Cookies that persist when the browser is closed are store in files, otherwise they could be store in memory only. Cookies can be created using either client or server side code.
Server side sessions are created on the server with a server side scripting language. A session id is generated and stored as a token on the client (in an in memory cookie) so that the server can track requests from the same originating client. Session variables are ways to store data related to the session on the server. Sessions use server resources which is why you should only use them when necessary and destroy them when done. When the session is destroyed, the session variables are gone so if you want to keep them for later you can store them in a database or store them in a cookie.

Difference between paste and add to movie

What's the difference between paste and add to movie?

So more than one track can exist in the same location. A very confusing (to me) editing process.
Yes, the MOV file con contain up to 99 tracks of data. For instance, if two or more video tracks coexist over the same time interval, they may be layered, masked and/or blended for various effects such as a framed movie, a movie-in-a-movie, movies with grapic logos, movies with watermarks, etc. In a similar manner, multiple audio tracks can be blended together. (E.g., a narration can be added over background music to a base move that already has its own audio track.)
Here is an a example of a "mulitple" track MOV file created from many a background/Xmas card foreground image and many scaled PNG photo images of family members:

What is the difference between avi and mov

Hi FCP users,
I am actually an audio guy, but I would like an answer on something.
I work with Logic, and usually use quicktime movies when I am working to movies. But I am working with a client who is an Avid user and swears by avi files. Can someone explain to me the difference. My client explained to me that avi's are better than mov files. He claims their file sizes are bigger, so therefore there quality is better. He said there is some form of compression on quicktime movies which lessen the quality to avi, even if the mov is uncompressed apparently the quality is still less than an uncompressed avi. If this is not true, could someone give me the real big difference between the two.
I thought is was more of a preference, like windows users prefer wav, and apple users like quicktime movies. Like with audio, there isnt a huge difference between aif and wav. Windows users prefer wav and apple users aif.
Thanks in advance for any information.

The vid guy has sent me some files to work with. So I am working in Final Cut to edit some of the video, and then sending it back to him. He is working on PC with Avid. What is the best. Should I convert the avi files he has sent to me to mov files. Then pull these into FCP, and then export it out as avi for him. Or should I export out as mov, and then he converts them to avi when he pulls it into Avid on his PC? Very confusing which is the best procedure between Mac and PC.
Thanks in advance for any help.
This is a disaster in the making. You can avoid being part of the train wreck by either renting an Avid, going to live at his house, or telling him to get a Macintosh.
You must find the lowest common denominator video format that will work on both of your systems. That could be conventional DV, dunno, never used Avid and never tried to edit anything on a PC. But I can tell you this with absolute certainty, it will be easier and, in the end, much less expensive for one of you to adopt the other's platform for the duration of this project. The time you waste transcoding, arguing, formatting your drives, buying secondary products, fitting round pegs into square holes, and trying to find a workable solution (that will keep changing as the project gets more complicated) will cost you much more in terms of money out of pocket and creative frustration than simply buying/renting another station.

What is the difference between SWF and F4V in the context of Streaming or progressive Download?

Hello everybody,
I am absolutely a beginner in working with Captivate and furthermore my technological know how is not that good.
So, I have problems to understand if the export formats SWF and F4V are both capable to be published in the Internet as streaming video and as progressive Download? Well so, I do not really understand the difference between streaming and progessive download either?
Furthermore I was asking myself if this issue depends on how I imported flash videos (there are these two options) in my Captivate project during the production phase?
I would be very thankful for some helping information!
Greetings,
Mareike the beginner

Welcome to our community
I'm not certain I fully understand the differences myself, but will toss out what I believe to be true about the formats. Hopefully, if I'm incorrect in my bellief, someone with more definitive knowledge will chime in.
It was explained to me a couple of years back and is my understanding that "streaming" only applies to a video based format such as F4V, FLV and it doesn't apply to SWF. With SWF, you may specify a preload value. So when the SWF transmits from the web server to the PC, a certain percentage has to be received before play begins. But that's not streaming. It's preloading.
For streaming to occur, the web server establishes a communication channel between the server and the destination PC. This channel is monitored to see what speed is in use. Only enough information is then transmitted to be comfortable at that speed. If the speed improves during the connection, the server serves data at a faster rate. If the connection degrades, the information transmitted is also scaled back so as to accommodate the lower speed.
With SWF, after it has all been downloaded, a savvy user is able to poke around in their temporary internet files and save the SWF for play later. With streaming, this isn't possible because as the stream is viewed, it evaporates from memory.
Seriously hoping others will chime in here to confirm or deny this.
Cheers... Rick

Differences between standard and pro versions

I was reading the comparision of these two Acrobat versions and for Pro it says:
Edit and enhance photos to add to your PDF communications with Adobe Photoshop® CS5.
Quickly transform static PowerPoint slides into compelling, interactive PDF presentations with Adobe Presenter
Rapidly combine screen recordings, narration, video, slides, and more into a rich media experience with Adobe Captivate® 5
Does that mean that the Pro version includes Photoshop, Presenter and Captivate programs as well? Or, what are the differences? As an aside, the new look and feel of the Adobe website is confusing at best. Seems geared to being flashy, not useful.
Regards, David

Acrobat does not included those other packages. One of the pages that always struck me funny (maybe I have a twisted mind) but has this artistic background is the updates page. The background looks like a lacy bra to me. It is the first thing that comes to mind every time I see it. That is a problem with abstract images (that are typically unnecessary and waste bandwidth), that a lot is in the eye of the beholder. Actually, I have heard from many others that also see the bra.
OK, back to Acrobat. There are several aspects of Acrobat that allow you to have links to the other products built in, but they are not included. The page at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html?promoid=JIJYS provides some info, but a lot is missing. For instance there are differences with PDF Optimize and Reduce File Size I think (sorry, I do not have Std to check). One important one that is part of pro is the preflight option. Apparently Std does not include portfolios or allow PDF comparison according to the chart.
If you are into forms, then Std apparently will do them as AcroForms (my preference, partially because of familiarity), but does not include Designer if that was your preference. Some of the enabling for Reader is not available in Std. Also, Std does not allow embedding Flash. Std is limited for some of the products that include PDF Maker (not a big one for me, but might be important to you).
That is a quick summary based on the chart. However, be aware there are some other features that the chart does not seem to cover. For the difference between Std and Pro, I would suggest getting Pro. The big hit is the initial cost of the product, not the step up to Pro. In a business plan consider the time that might be wasted trying to do some of the things in Pro that are not in Std. Those are the types of issues to consider. Many folks consider the cost to be large, and for a small business it is. However, in the long term it may be worth the cost.
Keep in mind that many large CAD packages in engineering run about $30,000 for a single license, half the cost of the engineer that would use it. Some other tools are about $15,000. In that view, Acrobat is cheap (except for cheapskates like me).

Differences between C350D and C350

Hello,
what is the differences between C350D and C350?
Thanks

Hi There,
C3x0D was designed as an outbound only box, the idea being that your internal servers would send mast amounts of mail to the C3x0D and we process and deliver.
The main differences are:
1: Multiple IP Interfaces
Deliver from 256 source addresses to minimise rate limiting issues
2: Configurable Source IP per destination
Nominate specific source IP for certain destinations
3: Virtual Gateways
10,000 Concurrent connections, delivery queue per destination
4: Domain Key signatures
Validate you are the trusted source of the mail
5: Destination Controls
Control delivery rates to suit ISP acceptance policies
6: Configurable Bounce profiles per destination
Customize retries and delay periods for differing destinations
7: Message and Content Filters
Apply disclaimers, unsubscribe information and tracking headers
8: Optional Sophos engine
Ensure clean mail only is sent
More information on the support portal regarding C350D, or messenger me and I will send you the pdf.

Exact difference between se09 and se10

Hi all,
i want to know the exact difference between se09 and se10 .
i know
SE09 is the workbench transport requests transaction - here the developers can track changes to all ABAP workbench objects (dictionary, reports, module pools, etc). This is a developer-specific transaction and mostly all developers have access to this transaction.
SE10 is the customizing request display transaction - this displays all the customizing requests in the system. Again, this could be restricted to Business analysts if required, since they would be doing most of the customizing changes in the system.
but i think this is not the correct answer which is already appear in the thread list
recently sombady has answer like the one which i have mentioned above but the interviwer said that this is wrong.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE EXACT ANSWER AND HELP ME OUT.
Regards
fareed

Hi Fareed,
First of all, i would say its a nice obsevation. As soon as i saw your post i started checking both transactions in seperate window and i found something interesting.
My Observation is as follows:-
<b>When we create a Transaction, apart from the Transaction Name, Program Name, Screen Number etc., we also can give someting called "AUTHORIZATION FOR CALLED TRANSACTIONS", under the menu: UTILITIES of the window.
Also we can use TRANSACTION:SE97, Maintain Transaction call Authorization in CALL TRANSACTION. Here we maintain the list of TRANSACTION CALLED for our Calling Transaction.
Now if you see, this list for Transaction SE09 and SE10, The Authorization for Called Transaction Differs a lot. Hence the difference bettween SE09 and SE10 is mainly the AUTHORIZATION Objects.</b>
<b>NOTE:</b> This is my own observation, so there are chances of misinterpretation from my side, accounting to the human err. But this is something new to me too.
Thanks and regards,
RAVI :).

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
both have 802ac wifi
both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
both are slim profiles and SSD
The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
....and of course the retina display
both are now "very good for travel"
Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc. Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display”
Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little, the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.
http://www.cultofmac.com/168509/why-you-might-be-disappointed-by-the-resolution- of-those-new-retina-display-macs-feature/
A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density
"The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD"
