Calling all video techies

o.k. I've been nibbling at this for a while...
I'm looking to increase the productivity of my small business (creating slideshows for funeral homes)
Currently I have to pick up the hard copy pictures from each funeral home, scan them in, create the slideshow, burn the dvd and deliver it back to the funeral home. The lead time is often 24 hr or less.
I'd like to create a system where the funeral home staff can scan in the pictures and send them to me. I would then create the slide show and send it back to them. They could then put it as a looping video for their customers. I figured I would send a finished DVD (label, case etc.) via mail to the customer.
I'd like the process to be as simple as possible for the funeral homes (i.e. as few clicks to scan as possible) I'm willing to buy some hardware to get the process going so long as it cuts down the time required for the funeral homes to process the pictures and movie.
I think the scanning of pictures will be fairly simple to work out, but the delivery of the video back seems more difficult. Ideally the video will need to be password protected and should be at least 640x480 resolution.
My ideas for getting the video back.
1. Send it via a video podcast- have the directors subscribe to a specific podcast. download the video to a nano and play it via composite hookups on their tvs.
2. Leave a mac mini at the funeral home and use a file sharing to connect directly (funeral directors would then simply have to turn on their tvs and play the video with front row)
3. leave a networked DVD burner (is there such a thing?) at the funeral home to burn a DVD remotely from my computer.
4. send the directors a dmg file to burn to a dvd.
I like the first two because they require as few steps for the funeral directors as possible (though they would cost a bit)
any constructive advice or improvements on these ideas would be much appreciated.

DUAL CHARGERS: even if you get one that claims 2A output, are there reasons why some charge slower than other non-Apple chargers or slower than Apple's OEM 2A single charger?
This charger works well with all my Apple devices.

It will charge my two iPads, my iPhone and an external battery pack at the same time with no problems and does so at the maximum rate the device will allow. I use Apple cables as those cables will work with any USB power source.

Calling all electrical Techies!

The problem started buying off-brand when Apple only offered the OEM short charging cables & single USB chargers. I didnt want to carry an extension cord or 2 wall warts everywhere (I have an iPhone and iPad) and when the non-Apple 6 and 10 ft cables and dual chargers appeared on market, I tried them.
Intermittently the cables provoke the dreaded on screen error message they may not work properly (I gather Apple cables have a chip inside?) and the off-brand dual chargers I bought seem to take longer to charge than Apple's, sometimes MUCH longer!
I gather that 10 ft cables and off-brand chargers, even 2A ones, used together are a great recipe for charging problems.
While pricey, Apple now makes a 6ft cable (THANK YOU APPLE!), but am I correct that having a 2A external wall wart charger doesn't insure you'll get Apple charging rates? I've checked but haven't found an Apple dual USB charger.
To the Techs reading:
CABLES: there must be a reason why a non-Apple 6 footer retails for under $10 (some as cheap as $4!) and even if you get one that doesn't provoke the charging error message, can they cause slower charge time? If so, why?
DUAL CHARGERS: even if you get one that claims 2A output, are there reasons why some charge slower than other non-Apple chargers or slower than Apple's OEM 2A single charger?
What about all the top name brand power strips and in-wall electrical outlets with USB ports like: GE, Leviton, Belkin. Will these charge at fast rates and not hurt your devices?

If you are a creator of video tutorials about Flash, we want to know who you are and check out your stuff.
We're always looking for quality content to point users to, so let us know about you.

You have two sets of options to manage when you insert a video on a slide.
In your case, I think the following might work: Right click your video, properties, options, and open the "Display For" option box. Its normally set for "Duration of Video" but if you change it to "Duration of Slide" then you give control to the slide so if the user clicks to advance to the next slide, the video will stop. You will need to open the option settings for the slide and use the "Specific Time" setting. Just set it equal to or greater than the length of your video in seconds.
Note: If you want your video to play while several slides scroll in its background (such as a powerpoint presentation) you can load your video on the first slide, then set the "Display For" on each slide to an appropriate length. The total showing time should be equal to the length of your video. This is the same concept that Captivate uses in spreading audio over multiple slides.

IPad, iPad2 Video Calling to Video Endpoints and Document Sharing from iPad2.

Hi,
Please discuss your expertise on the below mentioned requirement.
One of our client wanted to share their Document/Presentation from iPad.
Please suggest if there is any licenses/servers required to achieve the same requirement
Also, Can iPhone initiate a video call to video endpoints e.g. EX60, or EX90.?
Please discuss!
Regards,
Manish Gupta

Mmm, yeah, it's far from perfect, don't know about having to buy both iPhone and iPad apps, we bought just the iPad app, was fifty-something aust.dollars, which my employer is happy to pay as we're always looking for something like this whilst we're hoping and waiting and waiting and waiting for Movi - if that ever happens.
The iPad version also uses credentials created in the TMS provisioning directory, which is a good thing for us as it means we can use the same log-in as with Movi.
Would be great if it could get the provisioning phone book etc, but that's not important for what we need this for, it does have a local phone book though.
Aspect ratio is, as I said earlier, and as you saw, not exactly perfect when connecting to a MXP or C-series...and yes, not being able to rotate the image with the device is a bit disappointing, considereing the price.
Would I've bought for myself or for any of our users? No, definitely not.
Having said that, we can use it on the office iPad as part of the support kit for the techs when they're out and about. We all have employer issued iPhones as well, but the iPhone screen is just not large enough for our needs; which includes remote access and operation of AMX control systems, codecs, TMS etc.
They probably should've done a bit more testing before releasing it though.

How do you show only one caller's video display wi...

How do you show only one caller's video output with four people sharing a video call? i.e. the call originator wants to show a DVD video on a TV screen and the other callers want to view the video on full screen not just one fourth of their screen.

Thought I'd try this just in case they are stripping out attachments.

The American Creed by William Tyler Paige
I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

Video Calls Without Video

Hello,
I have a Tandberg TANDBERG 550 MXP when i call another Video Endpoint there is no video and see this log on 550 MXP Video format unknown.
What could be?
Regards
Leonardo Santana

Is the other site is seeing video from you, does this happen when calling one particular end-point or in all calls regardless of system being called? I.e. works with other MXPs, does not work with C-series etc ?
Does it happen with both h.323 and SIP calls?
What software version is the 550 running?

Calling all Matrox Millenium G550 graphics cards...
Has ANYONE got the Cover Flow view working with this card?
If you have you have what did you do (if anything)?
I've already tried:-
* the latest Matrox drivers
* the latest DirectX
* ensuring that Hardware Acceleration is at Full
* uninstall & re-install iTunes
* install latest Quicktime before re-installing iTunes
P4 2GHz, 1GB RAM Windows XP Pro SP2; Matrox G550; Dual screen

At home, I have a Matrox Parhelia and the cover flow mode works great. I have a G550 in my work computer but I don't have any music local on the hard drive. I use my iPod Photo as axteranal HD to play via iTunes. So, cover art doesn't show up.
However, I have brought to work some hummingbird videos that took last week and added them to the Movie section in Itunes on my Work PC. So, I tried cover flow in the movie mode. It looks awful! Each picture is made up of little pictures in a 18x9 mosaic. I can even see though the gaps where there are grid lines. I don't see this at home with the Parhelia.
I have the latest everything installed as well. I'm running WinXP SP2. Have you found a solution?
Thanks,
Steven

Kevin is suggesting that you store the projects you create while working through his book in a folder called RoboHelpProjects. It is not where you have to store every project you ever create.That is for the purposes of his book.
RoboHelp initially defaults to My RoboHelp Projects but it's up to you whether you do. Generally on the forums we advise against that as it is part of your profile and can result in excessively long path names in a few cases. Generally where authors create file names that are so long they almost serve as the content.
Projects always have a root folder, call them Project 1 and Project 2 for this purpose. You can have those folders directly off your C drive (or other local partition) or within in a parent folder as above.
Now to what you can and cannot do. You can delete a whole project by selecting Project 1 or Project 2 in Windows Explorer. Obviously if you delete the parent folder you will delete all your projects within.
What you must not do is delete individual files within a project using Windows Explorer, for that you use RoboHelp's Project Manager. The exception is if you go to Tools > Reports there is a report Unused Files. Files listed there will have to be deleted using Windows Explorer for the very good reason they do not appear in Project Manager and, therefore, cannot be deleted that way.
If you think about it, it is similar to Word. There is no option to delete a document there other than using File > Open and right clicking. Not very intuitive.

Can't make Offnet Calls with Video Advantage on

I am no expert so I could be missing something basic. However, I have a Cisco phone that is logged in and is enabled for video. I installed the Video Advantage and all works well. I can make onNet calls with Video advantage on. However, I cannot make offnet calls. If I exit video advantage I can once again make offNet calls.
Any Ideas?

All Video Streams out of sync

A few months back I noticed that when I watched online movies on Netflix about 10 minutes in the video becomes choppy and then the voice/video are out of sync. I thought it was just Netflix (called them - they told me my PROCESSOR needed to be updated bc it was too slow!). NOW all videos (youtube too) are messed up - 5-10 min in.
I have a Macbook Pro, 8 GB Ram, 2.26 Processor. It is a mid 2009 laptop.
Should I just go to Genius Bar???
Thanks for ANY suggestions!

Harrsment calls from VIDEO RECEIVED! PLAY MESSAGE ...

no matter how many times i decline and block this caller contiues to calls at all hours of the day. i have never answered the call. Missed call from VIDEO RECEIVED! PLAY MESSAGE AT VIDMS.COM.

if you block a certain user, that user should not be able to contact you again in any way. I think in your case, those scammers/spammers might be using another Skype account with the same or similar display name. I think you can consider adjusting your privacy settings to allow calls from people in your contact list only to avoid receiving such unwanted calls again.

All CBS, Youtube & Xinmsn videos fail to play on Firefox 4.0 all day long. Once 12 am (Singapore Time), ALL videos start to play Perfectly. Even Headline News takes forever to download until midnight, such problem suddenly disappears. WHY?

'''My Fujitsu laptop is one-month old. Initially I use IE8 and had problem watching videos. Once, an Action Message appeared advising me my API Driver is not working and directed me to HP instead. Fujitsu advised me it's a malware and a scan of Malicious Software Removal Tool was executed, nothing was detected. Ive had Norton Internet Security on my laptop. I switched to Firefox 4.0. All videos - CBS, Youtube and Xinmsn videos fail to play during the day, between 1 pm till night (11 pm). The only time every of these videos start playing Perfectly is around Midnight 12 am. (Singapore Time). This happens every day and night. How is it that during the day and night, every site including Headline News takes forever to download (transferring data takes unusually long time) but around midnight, such problem instantly disappears (and I can download sites very fast)? Also, ALL videos malfunction all day long till night but miraculously return to perfect function around midnight. This is real weird. Can some kind soul help me with this please? ''"

i would suggest you backup and reformat the windows.
Previously i also encounter similar error you encountered found out is malware attack, some of the antivirus are not even able to detect them. There are alot of users posted online which you can google around.
i had tried remove the malware using those so-called malware removal but things gets worst. So finally i reformat the Windows and everything go back to normal.
Personal advice, don't click or install those unknown message prompted from website. No antivirus or malware protection software can prevent this if you are letting then to get in your system.
Cheers and hope i did help you in resolving your error.

IPhone 5S: does anybody has this problem. During a successful voice call all of a sudden people can't hear me while I can hear them

iPhone 5S: does anybody has this problem. During a successful voice call all of a sudden people can't hear me while I can hear them. Signal is strong and call quality (me hearing the other) is still very good but it looks as if I’m going on mute while I’m not muting my iPhone. When dropping the call and re-dialing it works fine again. It’s a brand new iPhone 5S but it now happened already 4 or 5 times in 2 days.
It feels like a hardware/iOS problem and not a network issue. It happend with iOS7.03 but I just see 7.0.4 is available so will install that one now.
Thanks in advance for feedback
Best regards,
Marco

Hello Jeff,
Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with the audio on your iPhone. I would be concerned too if the audio on my iPhone was not working unless using speaker phone. I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speaker
