CBR problem

Hi,
We're having problems with content based routing. We have a scenario in which AppA publishes a bunch of messages with an "applicationname" field and AppB and AppC are both subscribers. There are no transformations, just object copies. AppA is a custom built adapter, AppB and AppC are both database adapters.
The problem is that messages do arrive at the hub, but are not picked up by the subscribing adapters. If I disable CBR, both AppB and AppC get all messages and then I emulate CBR on the receiving end, in PL/SQL. But I want to use CBR.
AFAIK the publishing adapter takes care of the routing, is that true? It reads the CBR tables and sets the correct headers before writing it to the hub queue. We now have to find out exactly where it goes wrong. Does the publishing adapter publishes corrupt messages with CBR enabled? Or is there a problem with the subscribing adapters?
Any help is welcome,
Arjan Loermans

Actually this is not true the agent of the publishing adapter performs the CBR lookup and adds a recipient list to the message as it goes onto the OAI_HUB_QUEUE, it is not done by the repository.
The agent code is standard. So if you are having problems with CBR it is generally a problem with the way you have defined the rules within iStudio. However since you have a custom adapter, just be sure that the message being passed to the agent is exactly what you think it is.

  • Adobe Media Encoder: CBR bitrate problem!

    Hi!
    I'm having some problem with Adobe Media Encoder. I've edited a HD video (recorded with a Sony HDR-FX1) and created a MPEG2 file using the preset "1440 x 1080i 25 Hiqh Quality". The video file size is 7,25 GB.
    Now I want to put this video on Motionbox and Vimeo. I found on the web some settings that seems to be perfect for Motionbox and Vimeo.
    Here's the link: http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/images/pcs3-h264.jpg.
    As many of you already know, Motionbox doesn't have any file size limit, while Vimeo has (1 GB). So i thought to reduce the bitrate quality for Vimeo, while using, as written in that JPG, 4 Mbps CBR Bitrate. Here's the problem: I change the bitrate (for example 1,6) and I exit the export settings panel, so that I'm back to the AME start screen. If I initaliaze the queue, under the video settings on the left, the CBR bitrate is back to 3. So it seems like I can't change the bitrate.
    I've used the same settings that are in that JPG so I can't understand what is going wrong. If I select 4 Mbps it goes back to 3 and the same happens if I select 1,6 or 2 for example. How can I fix this problem?
    Thank you so much for your help. Bye!

    Jeff,
    Off-topic, but related to your naming convention in your reply, post 4.
    Adobe has been using the "Pr" to designate Premiere for a version, or two now. I've been using "PP" for Premiere Pro, and "PE" for Premiere Elements, as I follow both fora now. Though it will take some retraining on my part, is the conventional wisdom (no pun here) that the acronym is most correctly stated as "PrP" and "PrE?" I also use PS for Photoshop, and PSE for Photoshop Elements, so it's not a matter of the characters. I just want to use the most correct acronym, for clarity in posts. What are your thoughts?
    Thanks,

  • Problems concerning sonata playlists and freevo cover art

    Hi!
    I'm setting up a media center PC and I'm having some problems with the playlists created by sonata. Another problem I have is not getting freevo to download cover art.
    First: When ever I try to make a playlist through the "Current" tab in Sonata it creates a m3u file with every song that's listed in the current window. I'm used to being able to pick one or a couple of songs and then adding it a specified playlist. Is this impossible in sonata? And if I try to play the m3u file created (the one with every song listed) through freevo I get a message that the directory is empty. What am I doing wrong??
    Second: I'm having big problems getting freevo to download cover art to my music. I can download info on movies from imdb, but info for the music doesn't work. I store the cover art downloaded by sonata in the different album folders and these covers show up in freevo. But if I have to play every new song i download first in sonata to get the cover art working in freevo I'll go crazy. It's supposed to work the same way in freevo as in sonata isn't it???
    It also seems that mplayer can't play m3u files. Using the mentioned sonata made m3u file in mplayer does nothing. Mplayer starts but nothing happens.
    My goal is to be able to make playlists through sonata and then play these lists using freevo. I don't want to get up from the couch.

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

  • PP CS4 Problem with exported H.264 .mp4 video. Can't AME do proper encoding?

    Trying to export a Video of ~60mins using the H.264 Codec .mp4 which converts in AME successfully, allthough when playing back the f
    ile, it has problems after ~40mins. When i try to jump to a later point in the timeline to playback i.e. 48th minute or 50:10 or wha
    tever, the image freezes, audio continues and it takes 10-20 secs untill the video image continues.
    I tried different playback programms like VLC,Windows media etc. and different compressions 2-5Mbps as CBR and VBR1 / 2, nothing cha
    nged.
    Source is Sony DV and i have some still images as .png. Since the first 30mins work alright, i thought i try out if something with t
    he source material in the timeline is causing the problem , so i cut after the 30st minute and copied the first 30mins behind that
    to get a 60mins video, but exaclty the same playback issue after ~40th minute.
    Is this an most likely a problem caused by AME using H.264 .mp4 Codec?
    Other videos i did months before in the same way using the same source material worked fine. Adobe Premiere and AME is up to date!
    Thank you

    hmn sounds like it makes sense. I have seen that "i-Frame in GOP" somewhere in PP i think.
    Allthough i recall that i had videos i exported which played fine till the end with no delay at a later seek distance.
    I noticed that quicktime player has the same issue but is much quicker than VLC.
    Is there a work arround or alternative? Can it be improved?
    I need H.264 & .mp4 for webpodcast on vimeo.com
    The only thing which looks strange to me ist that the lenght of the delay showing the images (i guess finding it) takes almost the same time
    as on other later point like at the very end. Id assume that if its normal behavior the delay should become bigger and bigger with a later point in time ?
    Appreciate your time to answer jim,Thanks

  • Help me identify problem for slow export on a powerful machine

    Hi,
    I am exporting an interview in Premiere Pro CC. It is 1:45:00 long and it has been 20 hours since, but the export is only 94% complete.
    Project & Footage:
    The footage is a combination of DSLR footage - 5D Mark III, GH3, 650 & 550D.
    The edit is all straight cuts with: {a} Color corrector on each clip to match all cameras {b} NEAT - reduce noise on around 10% clips {c} Sharpen (10-30) & {d} An adjustment layer overall with a 3-way color corrector for a simple color grade.
    Hard Drives:
    E: SSD-RAID for the source footage (Samsung 840 SSD on RAID-0)
    D: SSD for previews and cache (Samsung 840 Pro)
    C: SSD for Windows, Adobe CC & all programs (Samsung 840 Pro)
    G: Simple Seagate Hard disk for Export (used to be a 3 disk RAID but 2 drives crashed some time back)
    Other Machine Spec:
    Intel i7-3930K overclocked by 10%
    64GB RAM
    GTX-770 GPU
    This is my longest project to date in terms of total time, but last time I did a 1:00:00 project, took around 2 hours not 20.
    My concern is I need to understand where the bottleneck is?
    My CPU is hardly working a sweat - 40% at max
    My RAM is plenty - being used 40-70%
    GPU is not even being used in anything (see it at 0%)
    Disks (which I was sure was the bottleneck) barely cross 10MB/s
    Checked the "power options" in Windows also - everything is set to maximum performance.
    It was a big mistake not to send it to Media Encoder as I could have continued editing a different project. Biggest. Mistake. Ever! (no idea why Adobe does not make it a default behaviour?)
    I am fairly new to the industry and till last year was using a MacBook Pro until I started getting demanding projects.
    I want to know is this normal? If I had used NEAT video for 100% footage then probebly I could have understood this, but its used for only 1/10th of thr footage and I have used NEAT before (but on After Effects CS6) on my Macbook pro (nowehere near as fast as my current machine) and it only added a small overhead - nothing of this sort.
    I expected maybe 3 hours to export this 90-100 min seqeunce, not over 1 day.
    So what could be the reason? Why isn't one of the above (CPU, RAM, Disk, GPU) at 100%?
    I expected 1 of these to be the bottleneck but nothing is crossing 50% even when it should be on full blast.
    I dread what if there is small tweak required in the edit once its complete. This video is due on Monday, I would have to reencode for 24 hours.
    Please experts - let me know your thoughts. Could it be that Creative Cloud Windows is slower than CS6 Mac & its not a hardware problem?
    I am sure I am missing some hardware that is causing this bottlenck. Attaching resource Monitor screenshot (let me know if I should use some benchmark software for you guys to get more information).

    UPDATE: My export crashed (and heart sank) after 96% (25 hours). Win7 restarted. I have no clue why (If someone has any tip how to seach logs/dump in Windows to find a reason how, please let me know - I was worried about CPU temperature but that was around 40 deg, I was monitoring it.)
    Anyways, so I used Media Encoder now (instead of direct export in PrPro) and made 2 changes:
    1. I unchecked "Render Maximum Depth" just as it is in the the default Youtube 1080p@24p preset (but kept the keyframing distance at 24 instead of 72 which is default).
    2. From VBR - 2 Pass, I made it CBR
    Its been 15 min I started the export and the video is 20% encoded already, with remaning time just 00:30 min.
    Now I am flabergasted.
    Did not using maximum depth & VBR- 2 pass alone make such a difference? From 30 hours to 1 hour? I am still using all the video effects and absolutely no change to the edit.
    I am seeing 2 differences the way my machine is working:
    1. Is Adobe somehow using some old renders it did for the last export? I am using disk utility and it is refering to original source files and some "Media Encoder preview files" which I think it was not using before (could be wrong)?
    So all that hard work it did for 25 hours is being utilized and if I do such a project again it will take me 30 hours again. Right?
    2. GPU is now being used (and to good effect). How is GPU being used now? I am not scaling or using any fancy effects. Just Neat Video, 3-way color corrector & Sharpen.
    This was before (export done in Premiere Pro directly):
    And this is now:
    Very sad that no one (even from the Adobe Staff) has replied to my post. Did I say something inappropriate or TMI?

  • Error while creating a client proxy for CBR.RU

    Hi!
    I need to consume web service. Here is the link: http://www.cbr.ru/DailyInfoWebServ/DailyInfo.asmx?WSDL
    I tried to make an own client proxy with SE80 transaction. (edit object->enterprise services -> client proxy -> create) After completing wizard an error occurs with text:
    Incorrect value: Unknown Namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
    The same schema works perfecrly with this web service:
    http://www.deeptraining.com/webservices/wsStrings.asmx?WSDL
    In this case proxy class is created with no errors and everything is fine.
    Could anybody let me know what's the reason of such bug, please? I'm not competent with XML schemas so it's kind of difficult to understand what's wrong with WSDL file from CBR.RU

    Late response I know, but I have solved a similar problem recently and thought I would share.
    Firstly, the problem is not with the namespace. The "Namespace ..." part is just stating the namespace the "Incorrect Value" has. So this error is complaining about the value "Unknown" - which isn't very helpful.
    It appears the SAP SE80 importer does not like elements like the following because it can't understand <s:element ref="s:schema" />. It appears this is a common thing to be included in .NET generated WSDLs.
     <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="GetCursDynamicResult">      <s:complexType>          <s:sequence>               <s:element ref="s:schema" />               <s:any />          </s:sequence>     </s:complexType></s:element> 
    SAP will also not like this example as it does not support mixed content (see: http://www.w3schools.com/schema/schema_complex_mixed.asp)
    <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="SaldoXMLResult">
         <s:complexType mixed="true">
              <s:sequence>
                   <s:any />
              </s:sequence>
         </s:complexType>
    </s:element>
    You can "Fix" the problem in both cases by removing the offending text in a local copy of the WSDL file so remove line 4 in the first example and change line 2 in the second to <s:complexType> the proxy can then be generated. No idea if the resulting service will be fully operational though!

  • Problem with pages name in dashboard  Oracle BIEE 11g

    Hello.
    I use Oracle BIEE 11.1.1.3.0
    I have dashboard 'CBR_CTLOG'. Dashboard has two pages 'Протокол контроля' and 'Протокол контроля детализированный'.
    Both pages have dashboards prompt with active "Apply to all prompt pages"
    When I go from 'Протокол контроля' to 'Протокол контроля детализированный', I get error:
    Invalid path (/shared/CBR/_portal/CBR_CTLOG/Протокол контроля детализированный) -- path not found in dashboard
    But when pages have English name "Test" and "Test2", I don't get this error.
    I think, it's connected with that I don't use English languages for pages name, and BI EE don't make link for crossing.
    How can I solve this problem, because I can't use English names for pages.

    Hi Ramon,
    I am also facing the same problem... My driver name get changed after installing oracle 8.1.7.. I also don't know how to change back the driver name..

  • Problem Encoding WMV to FLV with Media Encoder CS4 (but not with CS3)

    Hello,
    I have been attempting to encode some WMV files with Flash Media Encoder CS4 (I have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 installed) but it has failed, generating this error:
    - Source File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01.wmv
    - Output File: C:\Documents and Settings\usf\Desktop\incoming\ch01_3.flv
    - Preset Used: Custom
    - Video: 624x343, Same as source [fps]
    - Audio: MPEG Layer III (MP3), 128 [kbps], Stereo
    - Bitrate: VBR, 400.00 [kbps]
    - Encoding Time: 00:06:36
    5/28/2010 11:26:16 AM : Encoding Failed
    Error compiling movie.
    Unknown error.
    On another computer where Adobe Media Encoder CS3 is installed (with Creative Suite CS3), I experience no such problem.  I do notice that when I add the WMV to Adobe Media Encoder CS3, it opens a window that prompts me to use "ffdshow", which will apparently work if it's configured to decode the file.  I click "OK" and start the queue in the encoder.  A few minutes later I get a successfully encoded FLV file.
    I have come to question whether Adobe Media Encoder CS4 should be re-installed, whether the entire Suite should re-installed, or if there is some patch or fix I can install somewhere.  Adobe Media Encoder CS4 is installed on my "production" computer which also has Adobe Premiere Pro (CS3) and Adobe Premiere Elements (7).
    Could use some advice here.
    Glen
    P.S.  the files will also not export to FLV using Adobe Premiere or Premiere elements...

    Again, the reason we are capturing with Windows Media Encoder is because we tried using Live Flash Encoder to capture directly into flash but our equipment wasn't fast enough and it was dropping frames all over the place.  We also don't have the space to capture into an uncompressed format because we don't have the available storage, and our events can be 8 hours long or more (each video is about 15 minutes, 20 or more videos)
    Ive listened to everything in my workflow and it sounds fine until the outputted FLV file from AME.
    WME is capturing at the following specs:
    160kbps 48KHz Windows Media Audio 9.2 codec (stereo) 1 pass CBR
    1800kbps 1 pass CBR video
    29.97 fps
    640x360 resolution
    buffer size: 5 seconds
    key frame interval: 8 seconds
    I have verified this with a codec info utility I ran on the wmv files.
    AME is encoding with the following specs:
    FLV Multiplexing
    On2 VP6 codec
    620x360 resolution
    800kbps 2 pass VBR
    100% undershoot at best quality
    160kbps stereo MP3 audio
    I verified the above with the same codec info utility (gspot 2.70a) and it is all acurate, it also told me that the audio is at 44.1KHz rather than 48 (there was no place to specify this, is this a limitatino of the VP6 codec?)
    Yes, these are our source assets.  They're being captured either through an XL2 via firewire, or from an analog program feed converted to firewire via a Canopus converter box.
    If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of this, or a different encoder (either to capture with rather low cpu resources, or to encode into flash) let me know.  I can provide a sample of the clipping if you need
    Thanks,
    Peter

  • CS4: DVD encoding problem(s) Mpeg2 and avi

    Hi,
    I have been trying to burn my video files to DVD. After a month of failures and 50+ wasted DVDs thrown in the garbage -- plus countless hours trying to learn the basics, reading the FAQs, trouble-shooting, and losing my patience awaiting technical replies from Adobe (which I now suspect will go unanswered) -- I am out of solutions and waving a white flag.
    Problem:
    I have two video files. Both were created in Premiere Pro CS4 and exported via the Adobe Media Encoder as MPEG2-DVD high quality files (for NTSC) .
    The first Mpeg2 file is 800 MB (41 mins); the other is 988 MB (50 mins).
    I have placed the two files into a single timeline, with 21 chapter stops.
    The only other file in the entire project is a PSD file for the Menu. It has two buttons, which link respectively to chapter stops 1 and 10.
    My results are failure-upon-failure...
    Primary question:
    When I go to "Build" the DVD, it says the Encoded Size is 4.7 GB ~ same size as the DVD. This displays in the "Disc Info".
    Similarly, when I open my "Timeline" properties for that single timeline, it says the duration is 1 hour 31 minutes - 4.7 GB.
    Why is the disc a full 4.7 GB when the two video files (combined) are under 2 GB?
    Supplementary questions:
    My "Flowchart" and "Property" links display the Menu, with the two button links in my Menu PSD connecting to the respective chapter stops.
    There are no problems when I click "Check Project," and the project works perfectly in "Preview" mode.
    But, when I attempt to test the burned DVD into different DVD players, the Menu doesn't appear and the play defaults to random chapters, then freezes. I can access the menu, but only after the play has started and/or frozen, and I have to do that by clicking the "Menu" button on my DVD remotes. And again, when I hit play on either of the buttons on the main menu, the video files will freeze, which means burning & testing each disc sometimes takes an hour per.
    Does anybody have a solution?
    I have read and watched several tutorials, to no avail. I have tried burning the Project using large Mpeg files as well as medium Mpeg files, both encoded with 1-Pass VBR, 2-pass VBR, CBR. I have tried widescreen and normal.
    I have also tried using AVI files. The two AVI files are respectively 41 mins @ 1536 kbps 720x480 8.68GB; and 50 mins @ 1536 kbps 720x480 10.6GB.
    Together, those two AVI files are 19+ GB, which would require 5 DVDs.
    What am I doing wrong? What should I be using to burn DVDs - Mpeg-2 or Avis?
    When I export from Premiere Pro/Adobe Media Encoder, whould I be exporting as Mpeg2 files or Mpeg2-DVD?
    Is it possible that Encore automatically expand and/or compress files, so that the 19GB avi is compressed to 4.7 GB DVD; and the 1.8 GB Mpeg2 "expands" to 4.7 GB?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this project has caused me numerous delays and ruined deadlines and soured me even more on Adobe's video editing product and their truly-awful customer support.
    Thank you

    As far as the use of premiere pro CS4 with Encore Cs4, do not bother to pre transcode your material.  Let Encore do this for you.  Leave your files in the original format which I assume was AVI.  Instead import your Premiere Pro sequence directly from the project (or export it from Premiere Pro it to encore).   As you quessed Encore will try and expand/compress your files for the DVD you are making.
    Encore by default trys to transcode for the best quality that will fit onto the media you specify which is why it is setting the output to 4.7 rather than the file size of the video.
    You were not specific enough about the nature of the failed copies.  One thing to do is to always try testing your project from your first menu to see that it behaves correctly.  If you don't want your DVD to start playing automatically make sure you set it to open the Top Menu.  Then try a test either to your hard drive (if you can), or to a RW DVD.

  • ITunes on XP; Mp3 Problems

    Hello,
    A few days ago I found my iTunes, for Windows XP, was refusing to play certain tracks. Not only that, but many songs were unlistenable to due to a massive scratching and glitching effect. Most of these tracks were mp3 files, many ripped a long time ago through Windows Media Player, but have worked perfectly well up until this point.
    I tried playing the files individually through Media Player, and they all worked fine. I have approximately 2650 songs in my library, and have imported a few hundred new ones in the past week or so.
    Does anyone know what could be the problem, and how I could resolve it?
    Many thanks,
    Rob.

    See, it was strange because I'm quite sure I didn't update iTunes when this started happening. It wasn't until I started having problems that I went to Version 8. I suppose it is possible some of them are too old, though some are only a few months old.
    I'm afraid I don't know if they're VBR or CBR; how do I check? Sorry for my noobiness.
    I tried playing some in Quicktime player and they ran, but made no sounds. I'm not sure what this is a result of. Regardless, they play perfectly well in Windows Media Player.
    I tried out the solution on that site, and the program recognized the problem. However, when I tried to repair the file it became unplayable in all my media players and iTunes refused to reimport it. I'm at a loss, and I'm not sure if I should be reattaching my iPod to my PC or not at this point.
    Thanks for your answer, though

  • Problem with part of file

    I am having a problem with a 20 minute Quicktime movie. There is a 45 second section in it that has started “strobing” or jittering. If I export a Quicktime movie from FCP of just the problem section, compress it and make a DVD of that, it plays perfectly. The footage only strobes in the context of the entire movie on DVD.
    I have lowered my compression settings to 7.1 and still get this problem. I have even tried making a DVD with no audio, to further cut down the bit rate and still have this issue.
    Using DVD Studio Pro 4.1.2, FCP 5.1.4 and Compressor 2.3. Burning the DVDs with Toast. I have burned versions of this Movie for the last year and this has never happened before. Any ideas?

    Hi:
    You can try using CBR encoding. Use the standard high quality 90 min preset and change it to CBR:
    Try exporting directly from inside FCP through Compressor. It will take longer but you'll be sure you are using the original edit wihtout any influence of exportations.
    What audio format are you using: AIFF or AC3? Using AIFF uncompressed audio in DVD-R can cause playback issues because the high bitrate. Try using AC3 in case you didn't it yet.
    Hope that helps !

  • Create AAC version problems - songs cut off

    I am running the most recent version of iTunes on my laptop (11.3.1?...my laptop is at home, and I'm not) on Windows 8, but I think I've been having this problem since I was on Windows 7, and on previous versions of iTunes as well.
    I'm importing a bunch of MP3 files into my library. There doesn't seem to be anything special with them...usually CBR @ 320kbps (they are music I've downloaded directly from artists' websites).
    However, I'm a little OCD, so I'd like all of my music in iTunes to be AAC. So I try converting these MP3s to AAC using the built-in function. I use the iTunes plus encoder, but the problem seems to happen with the lower quality settings as well. The conversion seems to work properly, however every AAC version of the song that gets created is exactly 3 minutes 37 seconds long. If the original song is longer than that, it gets cut off at that point. I don't recall offhand what happens if the original song is shorter than 3:37...I don't know if I had any that were shorter than that to begin with to test.
    Obviously there isn't a "Make every song 3:37" setting, so I doubt it's a setting that is mis-set. I'm guessing there's something else on my laptop that is interfering with iTunes working properly, but for the life of me I couldn't tell what. When I upgraded from Windows 7 to 8, it was a clean install, so there shouldn't be anything lingering from that. Also, I created a new library when I did that upgrade, so I doubt there was anything that came over with that. So it's possible it's something that I may have installed after I set the laptop up, but I'd have no way of telling other than wiping, reinstalling, and testing after every app has been installed.

    Neil,
    It is an iTunes bug.  There have been various versions of that bug reported here.  It occurs more often with VBR, but you are seeing it with CBR.
    However, I STRONGLY suggest that you leave your MP3/320s alone.  OCD or no, there is absolutely no advantage to the conversion.  Virtually anything that can handle AAC can play MP3 (and the reverse is not at all true).  Worse, the conversion itself has the potential to introduce audio degradation, which is probably not what you want.
    Or, if you really must do the conversion, use a competent 3rd party conversion program such as Switch.

  • Frame Dominance Problems

    I have a PAL matrox RTx-100 board in my machine and am building DVD's in Encore 2.0 When I build the DVD the video seems to stutter looking like the field dominance is wrong. The RTX-100 captures at upper field first and my renders out of Premiere also stay as upper field.
    I have tried the automatic setting in Encore as well as changing the field to upper manually and the problem still occurs. I thought it may be bitrate possibly so have tried various VBR and CBR rates right down to below 4mbps but it still does exactly the same.
    The only thing I can thing it is, is that it is forcing the encoding to lower field when all my avi files are upper, but I have no idea why. It also works fine in encore 1.5 on the automatic setting and on manual upper field first.
    I have also tried using various disc media using different brands and -r and +r. I have also tried another burner drive (my installed drive is an NEC and I tried an external Freecom) but with no difference.

    Matrox have the field order wrong.
    It's that simple.
    It does not matter what the true order is, whatever frame the RTX-100 sees first will be called "Upper Field", whether it is or not.
    Always avoidthe use of proprietary AVI formats like Matrox or Canopus ones, and use MS DV-AVI.
    Sorry to say, but Matrox' main concern these days is in the Games market, and pro users can apparently all go to hell.
    The Parhelia 256 AGP card, for example, only supports OpenGL 1.3, so is useless with After Effects, and is also built on DirectX 8.1 drivers, as the card cannot handle DX9 because of architecture problems.
    And so it goes on.....

  • Having problems with External Hard Drives on my Laptop

    Ever since using linux i've always had the same problem. Whenever i connect a hard-drive, it keeps disconnecting/ spitting input-ouptut errors.
    I thought it was because of the hard-drive failing, which turned out to be the problem with my last two, but i'm using another one (Seagate MomentusXT 500GB) and i'm getting the same problem.
    I had just reformatted this hard drive from NTFS to Ext4 using Gparted, so maybe that's the problem? I'm really kind of lost.
    I mount my HDD like this:
    sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/usb
    and unmount like this:
    sudo umount /mnt/usb
    It connects initially, and i'm able to put stuff onto it. I was able to put a whole TV series on it successfully, but when i tried copying my music onto it it failed and alot of the music didn't copy, giving me these errors:

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    There is a whole lot of bad going on there.
    There are problems both drive errors and USB errors.  I don't believe it.
    I have a hunch the drive is starving for power. 
    USB devices are supposed to function all the way down to 4.25V.  Not all do.
    USB ports are supposed to be able to deliver 4.25V at the end of the cable at 500mA.  Not all do.
    USB 2.0 devices are not supposed to draw more than 100mA unless they negotiate for more.  Some violate that.
    USB 2.0 devices are never supposed to draw more than 500mA. Some violate that.  Especially disk drives.
    My guess is that your drive is drawing excess current and the voltage drop through the port and cable are dropping you below 4.25; or at least below the voltage that your drive goes "Tango Uniform"[1].   Does your drive have the option for external power?  If so try it.  Following up on wtx's comment;  USB 3.0 is capable of delivering more power.   Also, some drives have used a cable that violates just about every aspect of the USB specification:  A "Y" cable that plugs into two host ports to provide more power to the guest.  I despise this solution with every fiber of my electrical engineering existence; never-the-less, you might try one.
