Can you spot any glitches in this workflow for my projects

I have been going back and forth on this topic of what format to use for my projects and have proposed various solutions which have not worked out because of some issue I overlooked. After much thought and a lot of reading, I came up with this one: I want to produce dvds for computer viewing only, using FCP HD and DVDSP 3. I'm using graphic sources ONLY, created in Motion 2 and Photoshop CS2 with music files created in Logic Pro 7, no footage. I plan to use the DVPro HD 720p 24 for the format in FCP and Motion. Since I am not using captured footage in the projects, I thought I could use just the portion of the area of the 720p screen that I would need for DVD output, which is 720 x 480, by marking it off with guides. All of the graphics from Photoshop and Motion would be brought in at the regular 720p dimensions but the content would be only in the same 720 x 480 area of the screen. When the project is done I would export it as a Quicktime movie at full size and bring it into Compressor 2. I would then use the setting for preparing it for DVDSP but I would crop the size to just that same 720 x 480 area where I limited my content. My hope is that because the dimensions are those for NTSC DV, that my pixel aspect ratio will remain square and not getsquished, and with progressive scanning it will look fine on a computer screen. Does this plan sound like it will accomplish the result I'm looking for?

The lumina shifts out of the wipes are a result of the H.264 encoding...it isn't on the original footage. I can't figure that one out...I tried exporting out of FCP, converting with QT AND Compressor and got the same result. Scratching my head there...
The 3-way CC was good in many cases, but when it came to the marsh grasses, it had some difficulty. Mainly in separating the blues and greens, and getting rid of the general haze of the shot. MB and CF were able to dig out the colors, but yes, Magic Bullet had more...vivid sepiad colors. That is a result of using the Color Reversal template and futzing with it, and my inexperience with MB. Color Finesse was much more familiar to me, and I was able to get STUNNING results. This is why I chose that shot for CC, because it appeared to need the most work.
I was able to get better results with the 3-way with other footage. Most of the other footage was shot with a distinct blue tint to it, but that is easily fixable.
I don't fault my DP too much. I asked for test footage to play with, and he did a days work, on his own time, for me to work on. The other stuff I was previously working on was for a project I am just wrapping up, and the footage was not allowed to be posted.
All in all I feel this footage has a very cinematic feel. It is easy to work with at full resolution, doesn't take up all that much space and very very pretty to look at. The big issue that will arise is the fact that the 23.98 timeline offers ONLY NDF timecode...not DF. I have to deliver a 59.94 d5 at 10-bit uncompressed, and that allows for DF, but my timing will have to be adjusted. Just how it will is something I will be exploring as the projects plods on.

Log file sync is usually a symptom of "over commiting", perhaps some batch job who commits after every row processed, see Note 34592.1 WAITEVENT: "log file sync" Reference Note for a complete reference.

Can you use SQL as a data source for a project in the same way you can in Excel?

Excel allows you to create a data source that executes a SQL stored procedure, display that data as a table in a spreadsheet and have that data automatically refresh each time you open the spreadsheet. Is it possible to do the same thing in MS Project, displaying
the data from the stored procedure as a series of tasks?
Here's what I'm trying to do - I have a stored procedure that pulls task data meeting a specific criteria from all projects in Project Server. We're currently displaying this data as an Excel report. However, the data includes start dates and durations so
it would be nice to be able to display it as a Gantt Chart. I've played around with creating a Gantt chart in Excel and have been able to do a very basic one, but it doesn’t quite fit our needs.

No, You can not use sql as a data source for a project.
You have 3 options to achieve it:
1. You can create a Sharepoint list with desired column ,fill desired data in that list then you can create a MS project from Sharepoint List.
2. You can create a SSRS report in which you can display grantt chart Joe has given you that link.
3. You can write a macro in MPP which will take data from your excel. In excel you will fetch data from your stored procedure. write a schedule which will run every day to update your data or
create an excel report in which will update automatically and write macro in mpp which will fetch the data then publish it so that it would be available to team members.

Can you save system settings scratch disks locations for each project?

When you begin a new project in FCE you need to set the System Settings Scratch Disks. Typically you would set a new folder for each project to keep all of your files for each project in one location for that project.
I have a couple of FCE projects going at the same time. I've set each project with a different system setting scratch disk location. But if I open a project which should have a unique scratch disk location folder that I've already set before for that project, it ignores the setting I set for that project and just shows the scratch disk setting for the last project opened instead. It does not appear to save or remember the unique setting for that project.
If you have multiple projects going at the same time, is there a way to save the systems settings scratch disk location for each project and have FCE remember that location for each project?

I turned off the Open Last Project on Application Launch in the User Preferences and it still does not remember the unique scratch disk settings for each project.
Since it is quite common to be working on multiple projects simultaneously, you would think that there would be a way in which to save the settings for each project to help keep all related files better organized.
Any other suggestions?

Can you spot the flaw in this short CSS snippet?

In the following example...
table.grid02 td.buff {
background:url(/images/layout/shadow.jpg) repeat-y;
table.grid03 td.buff {
width:10px;
<table class="grid02">
<tr>
    <td class="buff">
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
...I was under the impression that no background image would show up. But shadow.jpg is showing up. Why? The code should only apply the 10px width, shouldn't it? I mean, if I understand CSS syntax correctly...
What am I not understanding about this process?
Thanks!

Sorry, my mistake. That was a typo when posting the problem. In the actual code, it *is* grid03. And it still shows the bg.
I'd edit the OP but for some reason it won't let me. So I'll just re-post everything with the typo fixed :
In the following example...
table.grid02 td.buff {
background:url(/images/layout/shadow.jpg) repeat-y;
table.grid03 td.buff {
width:10px;
<table class="grid03">
<tr>
    <td class="buff">
    </td>
</tr>
</table>

Can anyone spot the error in this script for iTunes?

This AppleScript is designed to copy the Name and Artist of an iTunes track, then populate the Album Artist field with both, separated with an oblique. But when I run the script in iTunes, it only pastes the Artist name in to the Album Artist field and not the whole string.
tell application "iTunes"
if selection is not {} then -- if tracks are selected...
set sel to selection
set numTracks to (length of sel)
set s to "s"
if numTracks is 1 then set s to ""
display dialog "Adds the name of the track and the name of the artist to the Album Artist field." & return & return & (numTracks & " track" & s & " selected.") buttons {"Cancel", "Continue"} default button 2 with title "Create Album Artist" giving up after 30
if gave up of result is true then return
repeat with t from 1 to numTracks
tell contents of item t of sel
set {album artist} to ({get artist} & " / " & {get name})
end tell
end repeat
else
display dialog "No tracks have been selected." buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 with icon 0 giving up after 30
end if -- no selection
end tell

Hello
Try -
tell item t of sel
set album artist to (get artist) & " / " & (get name)
end tell
instead of -
tell contents of item t of sel
set {album artist} to ({get artist} & " / " & {get name})
end tell
In your original code, the left and right value of assignment are both list, i.e. -
left value = {album artist}
right value = {get artist, "/", get name}
Consequently 'album artist' is assigned to the 1st item of the list at right, which is the result of 'get artist'.
In order to avoid this, don't use list assingment, which is not necessary at all here.
Also, I think you may just tell item t of sel, not contents of item t of sel.
Hope this may help,

Can you modify the dimension of a slide for a project?

Hi,
I'd like to know if you can modify the dimension of a slide within a project?
I am aware you can Modify-> Rescale Project
That does it for the whole project, but what if I wanted to add more length to slide 6 only?
Please advise if that is possible.
Thank you!
Susanne

No, all slides have the same resolution, which is normal IMO for a file that is published as a movie. Maybe if you explained what you want to achieve?

One more thing. I just update my iphone that my boss gave to me but it seems to be like it giving me some trouble. My iphone was updated not too long and was successful. I try to lock into it and it telling me emergency call. I plug it to my itune and it telling me that the sim card is not valid or supported. So I inserted my sim card that I usually use to call and it still saying the same. Please help me get into it.

And as far as paying for phone support, here are a few tips:
If you call your carrier first and then they route you to Apple, you usually don't have to pay for phone support.
If you are talking to Apple and they ask you to pay a support fee, ask if you can get an exception this time. That usually works once, but they keep track of the times you've been granted such an exception.
If you still end up paying the support fee, that fee only applies if it's not a hardware related issue. In other words, if it can be fixed by just talking over the phone and following Apple's instructions, then the fee applies. But if your device is deemed to have a hardware failure that caused the issue, then the fee should not apply, and you can ask for it to be waived after the fact.
This forum is free, and almost all of the technical support articles the Apple tech advisors use are available on this website. Literally 99% of what they can do over the phone is just walking you through the publicly available support articles. In other words, you're paying the fee to have them do your research for you. It's like hiring a research consultant to go look stuff up in the public library so you don't have to. You're capable of doing it; you'd just rather pay someone to do it for you.
It's like Starbucks. You know how to make coffee. Everyone knows how to make coffee. And Starbucks coffee isn't any better than what you could make at home for far less. But you want the convenience. So you're really paying a convenience fee. Milk is more expensive at 7-Eleven than it is at the grocery store... because it's a convenience store.

I am unable to download updates directly to iPad 2 , now trying to reinstall one from scratch but download keeps stopping and the restarting. Can you offer any advice, this happening when trying to download to laptop in itunes as well. Have tried to download on different broadband lines without success. Is this an apple problem due to high demand or something else?
Everything has worked well until about a month ago, up to date iOS 5 and itunes installed. Tried resetting numerous times, turned off all apps still no joy. Ipad was great but now feeling buying one was mistake. Also recent music purchase was useless and tunes would not play correctly.

Since this is happening on the iPad and the computer, it might be worth a try to reboot your router - unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
Quit iTunes on the PC, reboot it and the iPad as well
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons

I shot it for a friend at a hotel. Can you let me know if if works ok / stutters etc. on your computer.
I edited hdv pal / ppro cs3 then adobe media encoder to H 264 1280 x 720 25fps bitrate min 2 max 4. keyframes 25.
It looks pretty bad i think at the normal youtube. It looks a lot better when you hit the 'watch in hd' but begins to stutter.
Do you have any advice?
Many thanks
scott

First, thank you for doing a very nice piece. I'm a tad bit tired of the "in-your-face" skateboarding pieces. The young lady is also "easy on the eyes."
Second, I looked at the piece in both resolutions, and also after all buffering had completed. The only things that I saw were one Transition at about the 1/4 point that seemed to have about a 1-frame "glitch," or something. Two of the Titles also did not seem to fade-up/move-in at the same pace, or with the same smoothness as the others. Even looking at movement, like the flag (again near the 1/4 mark - sorry that I did not write down the exact TimeCode), I did not notice any stuttering. I'd better get this out of the way right now, I'm viewing on my laptop's 17" 1680x1050 nVidia GeForce 8800M GTX-512MB display, with full hardware acceleration.
Not sure what you, and Dan, are seeing. I'm usually a pretty critical observer, though might be missing something important. If you can give me a TimeCode and where, in the frame, you're both seeing the problems, I'll be glad to give it another go.
Good luck,
Hunt

Also I cant make a right click on the pad. Is that normal?

Your first going to have to remove all your personal data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine when it asks as this will copy the entire drive and is unnecessary at this time (also takes too long).
You need to drag and drop copy your personal data folders (Music, Pictures, Movies etc) to a external storage drive, once done, unmount and disconnect this drive.
Most commonly used backup methods
Next your going to follow the Zero Erase and install method for your OS X version, either 10.6 or 10.7, here
How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
10.7 requires your AppleID and password to install, so make sure to have that ready.
Once you reboot your into the real setup of OS X, which will require your name etc, so it's now your machine.
Install your programs, iLife package is only free for the owner of the machine.
If you have the 10.6 machine specific disks, then it's on there.
If your using 10.7, then you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.
Last, return your files from the storage drive, consider setting up a TimeMachine or clone on the external drive.

(268625273) Q WSI-29 Can you give any performance benchmarks for WLS web services?

Q<WSI-29> Can you give any performance benchmarks for WLS web services?
A<WSI-29>: It is very difficult to quantify performance aspects of web services
since they depend on so many variables including but not limited to: backend system
processing by stateless session beans and message driven beans, size of XML SOAP
message sent, system hardware (CPU speed, parallel processing, RAM speed) and
system software (JVM type and version of WebLogic server). However, let me point
out that the EJB backend processing of requests both have the best possible scalability
within the EJB2.0 specification (both stateless session and message driven beans
can be pooled) and servlets have a proven scalable track record. Thus it should
be possible to scale your web service deployment to meet demand. The overhead
in processing XML within the servlet can be significant depending on the size
of XML data (either as a parameter or a return type). While WLS6.1 does not have
any features to address this performance concern, WLS7.0 will feature Serializer
and Deserializer classes which can be dedicated to the XML to Java and Java to
XML translation (they can also be automatically be generated from a DTD, XML Schema
or regular JavaBean).
It is true that web services are not the fastest way to process client requests
but BEA is committed to making WebLogic server the fastest possible service provider.
