Can someone translate these broadcast file specs?

Hi -
I'm totally confused by these Comcast broadcast specs - http://vpcinc.net/ftp/RCA/Masons Spots/OMC Encoding Standards.doc
Over the past years I've made some AE animations (CS5/Mac10.6) that were posted on the web. Now the question is, "can I do the same for TV?". But the spec sheet doesn't even mention After Effects! Suddenly I have to make decisions that I've never made before and I hope I can get some clear insight from the experienced folks here.
The spot will contain a short video (7-9 seconds) but the rest of the 30sec will be audio with stills and text.
If the spec sheet doesn't mention After Effects does that mean I have to use FCP - which IS mentioned? (How do I make animations in FCP??)
Let's say, for simplicity sake, I decide to work in SD. That means that the short video clip should be shot at... what camera settings? The spec sheet shows 720x486, 720x480 and 720x512.... so do I shoot at 4:3 or 16:9 (or what is NTSC-CCIR 601/DV ??).
Can someone translate this for me and help me grasp the specs to follow for shooting and outputing this project?
TIA your patience and input.
JL

The SD specs are all 4:3 formats (look at the aspect ratio row). You can shoot in 16x9, but will need to letterbox it. I think Final Cut is mentioned just because its so widely used. And the fact they accept Quicktime & ProRes is important to know (it's arguably the best quality delivery format of the four choices they give you, but will also be the biggest files to upload.)
Use the AE NTSC D1 or NTSC DV preset and you'll be golden.
Be sure to render using the DV Render Setting to get correct field rendering. Configure the Output Module to Quicktime movie with ProRes 422. with uncompressed 16bit / 48KHz audio (if there is audio). Tell ProRes it's interlaced footage by clicking the 'Format Option' button, then the 'Codec Option' button in the Output Module settings.
Or render to an uncompressed format and use another media encoder. (iFFMPEG is my favorite for MPEG-2, Handbrake for h.264)

Can someone explain how .prel files work?

Can someone explain how .prel files work? My C drive is O/S and programs, my D drive is storage and the project file(s) (the .prel file) are on my E drive.
How is this supposed to be more efficient/faster? P.E. (C drive) has to constantly communicate back and forth across drives with the .prel file and all the files in the subfolders? It seems like it would be slower.
As I mentioned in a previous post; my zooms in/out of the Timeline are VERY slow. It is almost 1 second before the Timeline gets bigger/smaller. Any info would be great,thanks!

By using multiple HDD's, one is spreading the I/O (Input/Output) load over various HDD's. The controller is faster than a single HDD, being tasked to read/write from/to multiple places. One of the first laws of physics is that an object cannot be in more than one place, at the same time. The heads on a HDD are no different. If requests for multiple reads are made, the heads will position themselves over on place on the platters, read, and then move to the next requested location, and so on. However, with multiple HDD's, and a good, fast controller, the heads of each HDD will be placed, where necessary, so reads are done at once, from multiple locations.
For ultimate performance, a good setup would be as follows:
C:\ system OS and programs (more reading being done here, than writing)
D:\ Project files (PREL's in this case)
E:\ RAID 0 Scratch Disks for Media Cache, but not Render files (both reading and writing)
F:\ RAID 0 Media files (more reading, but also writing)
G:\ RAID 0 Export/Share and Render files
Some go so far as to separate out Audio Assets from Video Assets, and use a separate RAID 0 for each
The downside of that "ultimate performance" setup, is that when a Project is completed, to clean up, one has to go to many HDD's, and locations. There can also be issues when Archiving a Project, because things are scattered about.
I get "good performance" by having my Project, Copies of my Assets and all Scratch Disks on one HDD. What I give up in performance, I make up for with housekeeping chores, when the Project is done. I still spread my OS/programs from my Projects, with separate physical HDD's.
Good luck, and hope that this helps,
Hunt
PS - Above, I mention RAID 0, but even greater speed can be achieved via many HDD's in the Array, and perhaps a RAID 50. RAID 0 is just two physical HDD's. Also, for RAID, I recommend a dedicated RAID controller card, and NOT software, or the MoBo's RAID capability.

I am talking about the icon on the docking row, that's the guy with the smily face. When you click on him it brings up a bunch of files of what I seem to have store/created on my Imac. There are hundreds of emails and some other documents. I tried to delete a few of them when I first got the MS office but it did not like that, it said it have to rebuild oulook. Why cant i delete these files? is this Apple version of Window outlook PST files?
These file extenssions are listed as
olk14_message or even or ccontact. I wish I could send a screen print but I dont see that on the key board. Maybe I should have stuck with windows..
Oh the ...olk14_message's. Do not delete them behind Outlooks back, i.e., from the finder. Those are the various messages that you sent, received, or deleted in Outlook. They are indexed by Outlook so if you delete behind Outlook's back Outlook will get confused trying to access those messages.
You can delete them however using Outlook itself. In outlook select a mailbox (Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc.) by clicking on the mailbox on the left. It will show you the messages in that mailbox. You can now select all or selected items in that mailbox. The click the Edit menu and select Delete. You will get a dialog asking if you really want to delete the selections. Answer "Delete" and the messages will get deleted.
The olk14_message's you are seeing are the actual messages shown the Outlook mail boxes. When you actually delete them the way I just described the corresponding olk14_message files will also be deleted.
Note Outlook's Deleted Items mailbox is where all deleted messages go when you click the Delete tool in the Outlook toolbar. Thus using the Delete tool from the toolbar does not permanently delete the messages. So if you been using that for months or years you are going to have a very large Deleted Items mailbox. And every one of those items in there is going to have a corresponding olk14_message file for that message.
So if those olk14_message files you are seeing are from the Deleted Items mailbox you can get rid of all those corresponding olk14_message files by selecting all the messages in Deleted Items and using the Edit menu's Delete.
Alternative ways to the Edit/Delete to do the permanent delete is select (all) the messages to delete and control (right) click to bring up the Outlook contextual menu and select Delete from it.
Finally if you use the Delete tool in the toolbar for messages selected in the Deleted Items mailbox you will be able to permanently delete those too. It's an exception since using the tool on the Deleted Items means there's no place to put those messages except to "oblivion".
So, in summary, using the Delete tool in the toolbar on messages in every mailbox except the Deleted Items mailbox just moves messages to the Deleted Items mailbox. But using the Delete tool on items in them Deleted Items mailbox permanently deletes the selected items in there. And only permanently deleting items removes the corresponding actual ...olk14_message files.

Hi Everybody
Someone created a menu for us in CS6 and I can open in CS 5.5 but when I do all the text shows up as separate lines so it is hard to edit. Can someone please downsave it for me so I can see it like a normal file? I would be forever grateful.

Can someone translate a BSOD message for me?

Try getting rid of Google Desktop. By "getting rid" I mean completely uninstall it.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at www.versiontracker.com or www.mackupdate.com.

Can someone answer these lovely question about the Zen Vision: M plz

I know we don't know much yet, so from what what we know, can someone answer me?
Or can a mod?
. Will it have the same crap firmware in every Zen mp3 player (Sorry to call it that, but it's my personal opinion)? The main reason I changed to an Ipod was the firmware of the Zen Xtra :\. I loved it, loved the sound quality, but then... I have no need for file manipulation on the mp3 player itself, and it presented a problem. All that added crap made you click 6 times just to play one song!
And then you had to add an album to your playlist to get it to play...
After awhile, it drove me nuts... I wanted something simple, I just wanted to play my music, not shuffle thru a bunch of crap to get there!, and went for an Ipod.
I dunno... one of the reasons I'm liking the look of this is that it copies the Ipod firmware. It seems Creative now knows what it's doing... Or does it's Is the copied part only the front, and I would have to click 6 times to play one song? I must know.
2. Will it have all the extras of an Ipod, games, contacts, calender, notes, etc? FM radio is a plus.
3. What is the sound quality on this one?
4. Will this one... have a headphone jack problem while I own it's Don't take this last question seriously... Or do :X

Actually seeing as Creative's firmware came first it would seem Apple copied Creative. The iPod firmware and library manipulation is very similar to the Creative players, having played briefly with an iPod.
Also you talked before about the difficulty with queuing a track, but couldn't describe a better system. Can you explain how the iPod makes it easier? I don't see any way Creative can make it quicker. You need to access the album/artist, then press the play button. Job done.
2. Will it have all the extras of an Ipod, games, contacts, calender, notes, etc? FM radio is a plus.
I doubt games and notes, we've never had anything like this to-date.
A Mod or owner can tell you for sure of course.
3. What is the sound quality on this one?
SnR is allegedly 97dB. Of course the subjecti've sound quality is one for the users to debate when there are shipping and several folks here at least have one. I doubt a Mod can tell you anything different.
4. Will this one... have a headphone jack problem while I own it's Don't take this last question seriously... Or do :X
If Creative haven't learned their lesson from the Micro and Xtra, well...

Can someone explain these symbols / icons to me?

Hi everyone, I've tried finding answers to these queries online with google searches, here on this forum, and through the iTunes Help function but no luck. Its just basic stuff but I found no explanation in any tutorial so maybe someone can enlighten me.
I use the sidebar in iTunes. At the top is the Library list - Music, Films, TV Programmes, and iTunes U. Here are my questions:
There is a little cloud symbol beside the Music, Films and TV tags. What does this cloud mean?
Sometimes, the clouds are animated with moving diagonal lines inside them. What does that mean?
Sometimes a number appears beside the tags. What does this number mean?
I use Home Sharing to share iTunes libraries between two PCs. Even though the Library is the same on the two PCs, the numbers (from question 3) are different in both libraries. For example, I have a number 6 beside the Music tag in the Library on the sidebar on one PC, and no number beside Music on the other PC. Also, I have just for the first time downloaded 24 files from iTunes U. I have not downloaded anything from the iTunes U before. The number 6 now appears beside the iTunes U tag in my Library on the side bar of the PC to which I downloaded the files, and 6 appears on the other PC. Why are these numbers different?
Explanations would be appreciated. Thanks!
MP

Thanks Bill,
But still not really what I'm talking about. I have inserted a screen shot image to show what I mean.
The cloud symbols that sometimes have animated diagonal lines running through them are not beside any songs, as you can see - they are beside the words "Music", "Films" and "TV Programmes" under "Library", as in the screen shot. I have no TV programmes on either of my PCs. I have 5 films, all of which have been watched many times.
The numbers (here a 2 beside "Films" and a 7 beside "iTunes U")) can't be the number of times played - e.g. apart from the movies being watched over and over again, I have not yet watched anything from iTunes U. Also, as per my original question, that 7 beside iTunes U is a 6 on my second laptop.
These symbols must have a meaning....! It would just be nice to know what they are.

Can Someone give me the file "VXI Send Message.vi"

I'm trying to use Tektronix CDS 73a-453 in a VXI Module. But to run the basic VIs for it provided by the manufacturer, I need the following four files.
VXI Send Message.vi
VXI Receive Message.vi
Open VXI Instrument.vi
Close VXI Instrument.vi
If you have these VIs in your version of LabVIEW, then please give me. Thanks a lot.
My e-mail ID is [email protected]

Have you installed NI-VXI on your machine? You can download it here. I could send you the VIs, but without the driver (NI-VXI) installed, the VIs won't do you much good, because they will try to reference the driver. Let me know if you run into problems downloading the driver.
