Can I disable the embedded encoder in DVDSP?

Here's what I'm working with:
I export a 35 minute FCP timeline to Compressor. I use the 90 min MPEG-2 DVD Best quality setting in Compressor. I then import the MPEG with the associated Dolby audio assets into DVDSP.
When I simulate the burn, it looks great.
I "Build & Format" to my hard drive. (so I can use Disk Utility to burn the image at a slower burn than DVDSP will provide)
The DVD plays fine on every player we own, but the video quality is bad. Compression artifacts are very apparent. There are halos around people that are moving. Inanimate background objects have that annoying little "breathing" motion. Almost like they're alive!
In the beginning I was importing QT files later to learn from the manual that the embedded encoder is not optimal for that type of conversion. However, the end result using Compressor first doesn't look much different.
It was my understanding that if I pre-encoded the material to MPEG-2 before I imported it into DVDSP the embedded DVDSP encoder wouldn't re-encode it. Is that what's happening?...because the MPEG-2 file I'm importing looks good before the burn.
Just to note,....the DVDSP encode settings are set as follows:
Field Order = Auto
Mode = Two Pass VBR
Bite Rate = 7.0
Max Bit Rate = 9.0
Motion Estimation = Best
Ideas?

Hi Jason
This does sound tricky - the only other suggestion that I can add to David's is to use the smallest GOP setting you can, I'm in PAL land so the default is 12frames but I push it down to 7, this forces more I-frames into your mpeg. It makes the file size higher but in a project your length it doesn't matter. Make sure you encode your audio to .ac3 (use the Dolby 2.0 preset in compressor). Although David's limit is 7.4, if I'm not playing back on a laptop I'll set my CBR to 8Mbps (in Compressor CBR is called 'one-pass').
Once you create your mpeg, play it back in Quicktime first to make sure there are no artifacts full screen (with Simulators reduced size sometimes artifacts exist in your orig mpeg that you may not notice).
Also as David said, DVDSP doesn't re-encode an existing mpeg so something else must be going on. Before you re-import your new mpeg, delete your DVDSP prefs and any menu mpegs that it has created.
If you have Toast, try just doing a Build, instead of Build & Format. This will give a VIDEO_TS folder that you can then burn in Toast. Use the Data tab and select DVD-ROM/UDF.
If this doesn't work I don't know what will.
Good luck!

Can one disable the embedded Google Translate

Hi,
some websites have embedded the Google Translate in the code. I.E. every time one opens the site, you get this blue "Do you want to translate this page" - bar. Is there an extension one can use to block the stupid bar. I manage English just fine on my own and if I need translation, I will ask for it, I do not need to be asked about it every time. (My Firefox and O.S. are not the English versions).
I know I can use cookies to let the pages know that I do not want the translation, but I have set Firefox to deletye cookies upon exit, and I will keep it that way.

Hi Just this one question,
Thank you for your question. I understand that you are asking if there is a way to disable the question "Do you want to translate this page" when you come to a site that has Google Translate in its code.
I do not have a complete understanding of how this is implemented without an example website, however it is possible use the do not track option to conceal information about you to other websites.
*[[How do I turn on the Do Not Track feature?]]
It looks like the embedded widget uses the html lang tags to note what the page was mechanically translated from: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF_language_tag] and their support should be provided by the site using the API.
I did find that you can add a span class to not translate, but this would require adding it to every page you visit. [https://cloud.google.com/translate/v2/faq#technical]
Or maybe you can try an add on that just blocks connections: [https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2], I have not tried this.

Can I disable the audio pitch adjustment when using frame rate conversion?

We have a mov file containing digitized film material with audio scanned at 25 fps (1 frame film for 1 frame video) while the film should be 18 fps.
So both video and audio are too fast.
Compressor provides the framerate conversion so source plays at x frames per second.
This works well for video but the audio slowed down remains the pitch it has in the original speed. A great feature but an unwanted result in this case.
Audio should be at a lower pitch since it was recorded too fast.
Can we disable the pitch adjustment, when using rate conversion, so the pitch is corrected (lower) as well?

How can I disable the advancedAntiAliasing with fontswf in sdk

Hi,
in asc2.0 we need 'fontswf' script to embed fonts instead of use .as file directly.
but here is a problem
I cannt disable the advancedAntiAliasing with fontswf ?
because I have found an issue when I set advancedAntiAliasing is true, then the textfield (which font is embeded) antiAliasType doesn't work even type is advanced. I need set advancedAntiAliasing is false (in asc1.0 you can set it by .as file)
now i just set the sharpness and thickness to workaround in used asc2.0
but i think that is not great.
so how can I disable the advancedAntiAliasing with fontswf or any other solution?
thanks
hbb

Hello -
That setting is not fully supported. You can explicitly call it like this:
./compc -include-sources ../samples/test/Main.as -output ../samples/test/Main.swf -advanced-anti-aliasing=true/false
So, that is the compiler option that you want to use in order to disable it. The example I show you here uses the command line tool but it is a valid switch via Flash Builder as well

Can I disable the alert "the referenced account is currently locked out..."

I posted the following on the answers site but was recommended to post here
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/can-i-disable-the-alert-the-referenced-account-is/0af4441c-2f70-4452-a876-7c582fbd6530
A client has asked me to enable an account lockout threshold on their domain.
I have made the appropriate changes in Group Policy and also configured an email notification under Task Scheduler that is triggered by Event ID 4740 appearing in the security log. http://community.spiceworks.com/scripts/show/1588-send-email-on-account-lock-out
It was when testing this that I noted after the nth incorrect password, I received an on screen alert "the referenced account is currently locked out and cannot be logged on to"
I tested again with an invalid username and did not get the same message. This is potentially a problem because it means that an attacker sees a difference between a valid username and an invalid username without being required to know any correct
passwords.
Is there any way that I can disable this on screen alert so that attackers are not presented with a means to validate usernames?
I am already aware that account lockouts are no longer in favour for other reasons and have informed the client about the possibility of a denial of service attack that deliberately triggers these lockouts and taken certain steps to mitigate the
effects.
However, given that an informed decision has been made to stick with the account lockout policy I would like to be able to mitigate this other undesired consequence if at all possible.

Hi Matt,
I understand your concern, although I wasn’t able to find a way to disable or change these embedded Windows messages.
With Account Lockout policy enabled, the risk that accounts being hacked has been reduced a lot. In addition, we can monitor security logs to determine whether hacking behaviors exist or not.

I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
I sure would like to decide about that myself.
Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
Hope this can help you.

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
Windows Computer

1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
'''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''

How can I disable the double-tap to zoom in function?

I play a game where I must click fast on a button, but tapping the button zooms in/out the screen all the time.
I also don't need to zoom in. Thus, how can I disable the tap to zoom function?

The double tap focuses on elements on the page and to zoom pinching in and out are the main features of zooming in Fennec. Currently there are no ways to disable this feature.

How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
Thanks.

I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted. But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
Have you looked at Capture One? It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.
