Canon HFS 10 log & transfer not using full capacity of camera

I hope someone can help.
Just bought a Canon HFS10 AVCHD handycam that boasts it records at 24 Mbps but when using log and transfer the clips are only recording around 10 to 13 Mbps.
There doesn't appear to be an option in 'Log and Transfer' to up the rate.
How do I get Final Cut Express to take up video from the camera at 24MBps?

Here's a recent thread I did on the topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964703&tstart=0
The basic idea is that Canon boasts it captures at 24mBps, but is actually a variable bit rate and uses whatever rate it needs when capturing. As such, the data rate upon ingest would be the rate it captured at. There is no way to change the data rate within FCE, this solely depends on how the camera captured. 24mBps is probably the maximum data rate the camera has achieved in tests.

Time Capsule Not Using Full Capacity

Good morning. I have a 1tb Time Capsule and use Time Machine to backup my iMac and my son's MBP.
The Time Machine backup is reporting that 235gb of 998gb is available. But it's been "stuck" at about 235gb for weeks. It seems as if the system is not using all available capacity. Is this normal?
I should note that at one time I had miscellaneous folders and files on the Time Capsule (from a PC). Would those miscellaneous files have somehow "blocked" access to the rest of the free space? I have removed those misc files, but still not seeing the system use my full drive capacity.
Any ideas how to get the system to use the rest of the drive?
Thanks in advance, John

The Time Capsule is reporting on the space that backups are using on the drive. Backups are stored in a special container called a sparsebundle file.
Sparsebundles behave differently than normal files. The sparsefundle expands as more data is added.But, it behaves differently when files are deleted.
So, lets say that the sparsebundle is up to 100 GB. Now, you delete 10 GB from your backups beasue you don't need the files any longer. So, you think you should see 90 GB now.
The sparsebundlw will still show as a 100 GB. It will begin to "grow" again when more than 100 GB is present.

Flash player not using full capacity. (11.7/8)

I have been attempting to play an extremely resource-heavy flash game: Madness: Project Nexus. I have a gaming computer with a 670M GTX gpu and a i7 Quad Core 2.7 Ghz, with 12GB of DDR3 RAM. OS is Windows 7 Home Premium. Browser is Firefox Aurora 23.0 Alpha 2. Exact Flash Player version is 11.7.700.224.
However, flash player doesn't use enough of the processor or the RAM. At most, I've only experienced a 30% RAM and a 25% processor usage. How would I increase the parameters to allocate upwards of 8GB of RAM and 100% max processor usage for Adobe Flash?
It isn't the computer slowing me down; Flash player doesn't use enough of it. That's why I need help.

First thing to check: do you have the "kill-bit" for Flash Player set (e.g. by some malware): http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you have, don't fix it manually (unless you are very confident using the Registry Editor); just post back, and someone will post an easy way to remove that "kill-bit".

Log & Transfer not transferring clip in full

Hello-
Running FCP7 on Dual Quad Core Mac Pro, OS 10.6, capture scratch on external Firewire drives.
Working on big documentary project shooting almost exclusively 1080 30p files with Canon HDSLRs (5D, 7D, T2i, T3i.) Transcoding the footage - to Apple Pro Res 422 LT 1080 30p - thru FCP's log and transfer tool has been a successful workflow up to this point.
But recently discovered that a healthy chunk of footage wasn't fully transcoded - original clips were all represented but NOT in their entirety, ie all the clips were there, just not in full original durations. (When originally did the L&T transferring, FCP didn't give any error messages; I only discovered when it seemed like there were large chunks of missing footage.)
And it's been hard to discern a pattern. Annoyingly, these partial durations are not true off all the clips in any particular L&T batch, just some. Both relatively long and short clips (under and over 30 seconds) are getting cut off. Nor is there any kind of distinct duration cut-off point; the abbreviated clips all cut out at random times. I seemed to have isolated the problem clips to a week’s period of intensive L&T work back in early Feb. And since that point I have been able to L&T transcode full durations successfully. And I have been re-transfering the partial files - on the same system - and it seems to be transcoding clips in full.
Anyone ever run into this issue? Any idea why/how it happened? Couldn't imagine there's some buried preference setting that's inhibiting transferring the clips in full.
I guess I'm just going to have to re-transcode all the incomplete clips but bigger worry is preventing this in the future. Tough workflow going forward if I can't have confidence in L&T tool not to transfer in full. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Nick.

Ssure enough, clips appear after about 3 minutes of leaving log and transfer open. As long as I don't close L&T, the following directories will mount quickly, as expected. As soon as I close L&T, same pattern.
This is consistent with directories with as few as one, 30 second clip as well as the more usual gathering of multiple clips. I noticed an Identical thread on RED's discussion board. The directories I'm working with are HVX-200 / DVCProHD.

Report output not using full page.

I have a report that does not use the full screen to display. The output display on about a 1.5 to 2 inch section of the page and the rest is white space. How do I get it to use the full page?

Hi Raymist123,
If I understand correctly, the issue which you occurred is that the report content only displayed about 1.5 to 2 inch. As per my understanding, I think this issue is caused by the report content including all the report items (table, matrix, list, chart,
gauge, text boxes etc.) is only occupied 1.5 to 2 inch on the report design surface. If in this case, we can try to expand the sizes of all the report items to fix the issue. And please make sure that the PageSize of the report have set to 8.5 x 11.
If this issue is still existed, could you please post the screenshot about the design surface and the all the size properties? Then we can make further analysis.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Video out not using full widescreen on a 23.5" monitor

I have an Asus 23.5" LCD which I use for TV and my Xbox. Both use the widescreen how it should. But when I plug my Macbook into it, I get 2" bars on the left and right. However, if I uncheck "mirror display," my desktop background fills the entire screen. I mean, the second desktop, or the extended desktop uses the full widescreen format.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
in 'Mirror Mode' both the internal and the external display use the same resolution, which with the MacBook is 1280 x 800.
Only in 'Extended Mode' the internal and the external can use different resolutions.
You might wanna check if the Asus LCD has an option to 'remove' the black borders, when using a resolution that is not the native (full) resolution of it.
If this is possible, you might experience however a less sharper image on the Asus since it is not using its native resolution.
Regards
Stefan

Shared photo streams not using full resolution

I was very excited about this feature but after testing it I realised it's not using the full res pictures on the shared photostream. Which for me is kind of a silly.
Am I doing something wrong or is that how it's working?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Larry,
Having a similar issue as the one described by kmacd... I'm trying to set up Shared Photo Streams between my MacBook Pro (Late 2009 13") and my iPhone 4, to essentially use them as streaming albums. Both devices are set up with iCloud with the same account, and both have all settings enabled for Shared Photo Streams, as I can create and modify streams in both. The problem is that when I create a new stream on one, it never shows up on the other! I never receive an invite, which I assume I wouldn't since it's all the same account. Just not sure why the Shared Streams don't sync over multiple devices when the normal My Photo Stream works perfectly fine. Any thoughts?? Thanks!
Hardware/Software Specs:
MacBook Pro 5,5 (Late 2009 13")
OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
iPhoto v9.5.1 (902.17)
Aperture 3.5.1
iPhone 4iOS 7.0.4
Note: I am currently in the process of downloading iPhoto 2.0 for iOS to see if there's any way to access the streams through that. Figured it's worth a shot!!

Custom logging formatter not used (XML instead).

I use the built in Java logging API to write log messages to a file. As the SimpleFormatter does not quite the format we would like to have, I wrote a custom formatter and set it in the logging properties file:
java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter = my.LogFormatter
This works well in a standalone application. But using the same in my servlet application, the log fie does not use my custom formatter but the (default?) XML formatter. I multichecked the JAR that is in cluded in the WAR file and it has my custom LogFormatter class (as the JAR is exactly the same that works in the standalone application).
Does the servlet expect a custom logging formatter somewhere else? I tried adding it to the root directory within the WAR but this also doesn't work.

By default, the LogManager reads its initial configuration from a properties file "lib/logging.properties" in the JRE directory.

Viewsonic 2431wm does not use full width in 1920x1080 mode

HI Folks,
I've recently replaced a failed Viewsonic 2433wm monitor with a 2431wm. My Mac Pro 5,1 has the 1GB Radeon HD5770 video HBA and is a 2 monitor configuration. The previous pair of 2433wm's functioned wonderfully at the 1920x1080@60Hz settings.
However, with the new 2431wm attached, the displayed image does not use the full width of the screen. I've tried manually adjusting the horizontal settings and using the monitor's Auto Image Adjust with no change. I've also installed the latest drivers from the Viewsonic site.
For grins, I borrowed a colleague's 2433wm and it immediately worked as expected with no changes on the monitor or my Mac Pro. Also, setting the 2431wm's resolution to 1680x1024 uses the entire screen width.
Does anyone have tips about the 2431wm or manual OS X settings that could resolve this?
Thanks,
Tim

When using a CRT, the phosphor is painted on the display much more widely. The maximum resolutions used are always far less than the maximum the display could produce IF we were to tune it to absolutely perfectly hit every Phosphor dot. But if you did this, you would have to adjust your display ever time a new picture went up on it.
An LCD display does not wave an electron gun around and light up some phosphor dots. The dots are addressed directly. Optimum resolution is EXACTLY every dot that the manufacturer placed on the glass -- no more, no less.
If you chose any resolution other than the optimum resolution, the display may try to approximate what you asked for and fill the display -- or may not. If it does fill the screen, it will be a poor imitation of the best picture you can possibly get from the display.
My recommendation: Find out what is the optimum or recommended resolution is for your specific display, set your display to that resolution, and do not change it.

Audio out of sync with presentation (not using full motion)

When I preview or publish a project using Captivate 5, the audio is out of sync with the presentation. I am not using any full motion recording, which I know has caused audio/video sync issues in previous versions of Captivate. The audio is slide specific, with a separate audio file for each slide. (In other words, I'm not trying to break a large audio file over many slides.) When each slide is viewed individually -- in the workstation, in the preview window, or in the published version -- the audio is synced just fine. The problem arises only when I try to watch the entire presentation (approx. 10 minutes in length). The audio gradually lags behind the visual. By about half way through the project, the visual presentation is noticably ahead of the audio. By the end, the audio is nearly 4 seconds behind the video. I cannot detect a noticeable change in pitch or speed of the audio, so if the audio is being altered in any way, the alteration is slight.
However, if I use the playback controls to advance to a single slide, the audio is fine for that slide and those immediately after, although it does gradually get off again as the project progresses. (So, for example, if I start the playback in the middle of the project, the audio will only be off by about 2 seconds by the end, rather than 4.)
I have tried various publishing options (although I don't think publishing is the problem, since this happens when I preview the project as well). I have used 2 different computers and also tried viewing the published version locally and streaming. None of these alterations seem to make a difference. By the end of the presentation, regardless of how the project is published or viewed, the audio is several seconds behind the video.
My specs:
Captivate 5
Microsoft XP OS
2 GB RAM
Publishing to .swf
Suggestions?

Hi Mukul,
Thank you very much for your careful responses. Here are the answers to the questions.
First of all, the "slow video" behavior does appear only after adding the slides mentioned in previous post.
1.    I created a “software simulation” project. It IS a capture+audio recording.
2.    Since I recorded the audio while doing screen capture, almost every slide has audio, which is not convenient to edit at all. Is there any other better way that I missed so that we can keep the audio and video at the same step while editing them? As I know so far, either insert silence or delete a little audio to one slide, the audio becomes short, but the slide duration time is still the same as before unless we change that manually which normally is not precise enough to match the audio.
3.    I tried to add the blank slides at where there is a pause of speaking and where they are close to the problem slides. Otherwise, the speaking would sound weird.
4.    Published SWF file size is 20.6 MB.
5.    I do have two externalized video files for title and end.
6.    Unfortunately, it is still slow even if it played on a different system.
And another problem comes up these days. After publication, the screen resolution is not good (like some grey ink left on screen) wherever click or type something. It did not happen before even if worked on the same computer.
I am very sorry that there are so many problems. I have been working on this for long time. The project totally drove me nuts. Hopefully you have more ideas about that.
I really appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
Linda

Portege 7200 does not use full display

Have loaded windows 98SE onto portege 7200 (model number PP720E-6390W-EN) and cannot get the display to use full screen.
I have downloaded display-win9x-650554022icd driver but there is no '.exe' file to initiate the installation. Any ideas?
cheers

Hi,
what a kind of file was there? Maybe an *.inf file? If a such and *.inf file is existent then everything is alright. Just go to the device manager and to the graphics device,
go to install new driver and then when windows is asking for an driver, just define the folder where the drivers are as the driver destination.
Windows should take the driver and install it.

Log and Transfer not working with Sony AVCHD camera

Hi, I have a new Sony AVCHD camera. The HDR-XR200 120GB hard drive model. It captures in 1920x1080i, and connects to Mac via USB.
FCP does not recognize the camera when I open the log and transfer window.
Can someone help me with seq setting and easy set up setting or other setting for it to work.
I am happy to import footage into FCP with AIC or prores 422. Just want to edit all the footage I have of my so's international soccer tournament held in Australia last week. I also have Final Cut Express on my Mac if that works better. This is very frustrating trying to get it to work.
Cheers
Bryan

I use a Panasonic AVCHD, which FCP doesn't recognise. Anyway I've spent months playing around because this little camera blows my Sony V1 out of the water in sheer quality.
Best thing is just get hold of a copy of Toast 10, you can then simply drag your .mts files into this and encode to whatever you want, I edit in pro res LT, but Toast will even encode it to HDV if you want to end up on tape(Even this result still blows the Sony HDV apart)
FCP is very fussy about even noticing the very existance of .mts files, so I wouldn't waste my time, scratching my head.
By the way, I use Firewire 800 drives, not USB 2 and also in the name of God BACK UP YOUR MTS FILES ON A NEW HARD DISC CALLED "BACKUP OF .MTS FILES!" LOL

Ipod Mini not able to use full capacity?

I have been trying to transfer 3.5 GB onto my 4 GB mini. I get a message saying there is not enough space even though the Ipod says there is 3.75GB available? Any ideas to fix this
