CC&B daily data rate change

Hi,
I'm trying to estimate the daily rate of data change against our total estimated data volumes for year 5. Currently total volumes for CC&B is about 800gb.
Is there any tools out there I can used to estimate this? I understand there are loads of variables that will feed into this estimation, however is there tools/methods to give a ballpark figure?
Thanks

Changing a clip's data rate

I imported an MPEG into FCP 4.5, and though it's a PAL DV clip [720x576], it seems to have come in at a higher data rate than all my other clips [6.9MB/sec instead of 3.6]. This is making it difficult to play. How do I change the data rate down to 3.6MB/sec where it should be and where it will play properly?

you can't just change the data rate willy-nilly. your problem stems from the fact that this is an mpeg - what flavour of mpeg - and it can't be an mpeg and PAL DV. you need to convert that to an editable form of video.

Costing Sheet Overhead Rate Change Mid Month

Does SAP Support a mid month overhead rate change in a costing sheet? I have an overhead rate change effective 5/12/2007, but my PM Order is not recognizing the change unless the Basic Start Date of the order is 6/1/2007.

hi
it will not support mid month overhead. it should be either period basis or yearly basis.

Max Data Rate: AGP 2x?!

Bought myself a new MSI-KT6 Delta a few weeks ago (MSI-6590), and have had no problems until now.
First up, my GeForce 4 Ti 4600 decided to suddenly die. Random characters on the screen in text mode, flickery colours and corrupt pixels everywhere. Windows wouldn't detect it properly anymore.
Bought a new Powercolor Radeon 9600 XT with VIVO today. Downloaded the new drivers, and loaded up some Battlefield, all good. Runs nice and smooth. COD, Quake 3, etc, no problems at all.
Halo, however... BAD. Even with the basic graphics settings and no Pixel-Shading, it runs at 4 frames a second, and nothing I do changes this, from lowest to highest with Pixel-Shaders 2.0. Although there's a visual difference, it's just as slow.
So I loaded up ATI control Panel and used SmartGart to enable 8x and Fast-Writes... Rebooted, lots of flickering screen, and Windows XP is now software-rendering everything (Transparent menus take 100% CPU to fade in)
Wait for SmartGart to fix my graphics again, and it's all back to 4x and no fast-write.
Loaded up SiSoft Sandra, to check the settings in there...
Mainboard: "Max Data Rate: AGP 2x"
AGP Card: "Data Transfer Modes Support: 1x, 2x"
"AGP Bus is unused or AGP card not fully AGP compatible"
Er... should this be right? BIOS wont let me select an AGP speed, it's "Auto" and I can't select it. I'm a little concerned that my Motherboard may have been damaged! I'll go get the latest Halo Patch, but it doesn't change the fact that I can't use 8x or Fast-Write.
I'm a little apprehensive about flashing my BIOS, made more difficult by the fact that I have no working floppy drive.
CPU: AMD 2600+
RAM: 2x512mb DDR 333MHz Kingston
AlphaGremlin

Well, I updated the VIA drivers, and an updated Sandra. AGP is running at 8x, and Fast-Writes are enabled! I don't know what the hell SmartGart was going on about, but it appears to slunk away and disappeared completely from the ATI control panel since the last reinstall of drivers.
So there's one problem solved... but I don't know what's up with Halo... I can set it to the lowest settings and it still runs like an elephant with three legs, even with the -useff option for Fixed Function shaders... ah well, that's a matter for another forum, eh?
Interesting note: Sandra reports my 120gb drive as 605gb... should I be trusting it?

Daily flow rate totals over several days displayed in Lookout 6.1

I need to display running daily flow rate totals in lookout for several days. The expressions would be for "today", "yesterday", "two days prior" and "three days prior". I am using accumulators to do month to date totals and running averages. I am stumped as to how to accomplish the daily totals. This application is using Lookout 6.1.

How do you fix error message "data rate for this file is too high for DVD. You must replace this file with one of a lower data rate".

When trying to burn a DVD it will go through the encoding step and at 98% we see the message 'data rate for this file is too high for DVD. You must replace this file with one of a lower data rate". We need help to correct this so we can complete burning to DVD.

What did you export from Premiere?
Did you use the MPEG2-DVD preset... and did you make any changes to the preset?

Dual data rate stream problem

I am streaming a live source that is being encoded at 2 different data rates. One is a 360Kbps stream, the other is a 28Kbps stream (for dial up users). I have created a reference movie that contains URLs for each of these streams. The high speed one is characterized as requiring 384Kbps DSL/Cable. The second is set to 56Kbps Modem/ISDN.
I have a Mac Mini and a PC on my desktop, both connected to my streaming server directly via the LAN. Both are running Quicktime 7.4.1. Both have their Quicktime Preference for Streaming Speed set for Automatic (The Quicktime default).
The PC always selects the high speed stream. The Mac always selects the low speed stream. The only way to make the Mac pick the correct stream is to set the streaming speed preference manually. I have even tried rebuilding the reference movie, setting the required data rate to as low as 112Kbps, but still the Mac refuses to believe it can handle that speed and picks the other one. The bandwidth to the server is actually in the Mbps range, and the stream plays just fine when it is forced to play through manual configuration.
Does anyone have any insight into why this is a problem? Better yet, does anybody have a way of making this work that doesn't involve having to explain to every user how to change their preferences?
By the way, it's not just my desktop Mac that behaves this way, the same is true for systems coming in from the outside. I'm not sure that it is necessarily clear cut that Macs always fail and PCs always succeed, or what the story is with other Quicktime releases.

How about some more information on the memory you purchasaed. If you purchased (2) 2GB sticks of memory the motherboard only supports 1GB of memory per slot and they will not function properly. Is the Patriot RAM single side or double side and did it work before you installed the 2GB modules??

New excise rate changes

Hi,
As per the new excise rate changes ie, 14 to 10%, i have changed the % in FV12 with valid date. Issue is
when i post GR my old po's, system is taking 10% instead of 14%.. whn i change the posting date before 7/12, it's giving 14%..
If i want to control by doc date instead of posting date, how to carry out??? i did the blw step but its picking 10% only.. pls guide how to take frm doc date??
During MIGO, it calculates excise duty depends on the Document date, if you have ticked the check box in,
SPRO - Finance and Accounting - Tax on Sales/ Purchases - Calculation - Assign Company code to Document date for Tax Determination.

Hi,
As per standard process system will pick 10% as excise rate beacuse you are making GR on todays date. Similarly if vendor has supplied the material after 07/12 then he must charge the excise as 10% only. And if he has supplied the material before 07/12 say 05/12 then you please enter the posting date in GR as 05/12 system will pick as 14%.
It will be better to use the default settings as this problem will be only for pending GR's.

Video (or Video + Audio) Data Rate

Wondered if anyone here might know of a software utility that has the ability to scan QuickTime compatible files and either display the video (or video + audio) data rate excursion or, as an alternative, graph the instantaneous variation in the data rate over time.

Apple +I (show info) in QT player will show you the framerate and bitrate while playing.
Thanks for your suggestion, Rick. However, I must point out that the data rate so displayed is simply the total average for the entire clip and not the instantaneous (i.e., constantly changing) variance with time. Preliminary observations tend to indicate the single pass H.264 algorithm begings roughly 10% under the requested data rate and quickly settles very near the target. The multipass algorithm, on the other hand, appears to begin in the vicinity of 300% above the targeed data rate and monotonically decreases throughout the remainder of the movie clip. So much for a quick qualitative analysis based on observations during the actualy encoding process.
What I now wish to do is actually perform a bit of quantitative analysis and, based on those results, correlate actual data rates with the ability of a given H.264 multipass file to sync to an iPod. Basically, I am trying to determine whether or not a user data rate input is used as a comparator during the initial phase of multipass H.264 coding and, if so, how it is implemented. (I.e., how are the delta values handled -- linearly, exponentially, etc.) In addition, I wish to compare QT v7.0.3 with v7.0.4 clips to determine why the latter are less iPod compatible. Too, there remains a question as to whether or not any data rate information is now embedded in the clips themselves since various work arounds tried (i.e., clipping file lengths) have proven unsuccessful.

PGC...data rate too high

Hallo,
message
nunew33, "Mpeg not valid error message" #4, 31 Jan 2006 3:29 pm describes a certain error message. The user had problems with an imported MPEG movie.
Now I receive the same message, but the MPEG that is causing the problem is created by Encore DVD itself!?
I am working with the german version, but here is a rough translation of the message:
"PGC 'Weitere Bilder' has an error at 00:36:42:07.
The data rate of this file is too high for DVD. You must replace the file with one of a lower data rate. - PGC Info: Name = Weitere Bilder, Ref = SApgc, Time = 00:36:42:07"
My test project has two menus and a slide show with approx. 25 slides and blending as transition. The menus are ok, I verified that before.
First I thought it was a problem with the audio I use in the slide show. Because I am still in the state of learning how to use the application, I use some test data. The audio tracks are MP3s. I learned already that it is better to convert the MP3s to WAV files with certain properties.
I did that, but still the DVD generation was not successful.
Then I deleted all slides from the slide show but the first. Now the generation worked!? As far as a single slide (an image file) can not have a bitrate per second, and there was no sound any more, and as far as the error message appears AFTER the slide shows are generated, while Encore DVD is importing video and audio just before the burning process, I think that the MPEG that is showing the slide show is the problem.
But this MPEG is created by Encore DVD itself. Can Encore DVD create Data that is not compliant to the DVD specs?
The last two days I had to find out the cause for a "general error". Eventually I found out that image names must not be too long. Now there is something else, and I still have to just waste time for finding solutions for apparent bugs in Encore DVD. Why doesn't the project check find and tell me such problems? Problem is that the errors appear at the end of the generation process, so I always have to wait for - in my case - approx. 30 minutes.
If the project check would have told me before that there are files with file names that are too long, I wouldn't have had to search or this for two days.
Now I get this PGC error (what is PGC by the way?), and still have no clue, cause again the project check didn't mention anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Christian Kirchhoff

Hallo,
thanks, Ruud and Jeff, for your comments.
The images are all scans of ancient paintings. And they are all rather dark. They are not "optimized", meaning they are JPGs right now (RGB), and they are bigger then the resolution for PAL 3:4 would require. I just found out that if I choose "None" as scaling, there is no error, and the generation of the DVD is much, much faster.
A DVD with a slide show containing two slides and a 4 second transition takes about 3 minutes to generate when the scaling is set to something other than "None". Without scaling it takes approx. 14 seconds. The resulting movies size is the same (5,35 MB).
I wonder why the time differs so much. Obviously the images have to be scaled to the target size. But it seems that the images are not scaled only once, that those scaled versions of the source images are cached, and those cached versions are used to generate then blend effect, but for every frame the source images seem to be scaled again.
So I presume that the scaling - unfortunately - has an effect on the resulting movie, too, and thus influences the success of the process of DVD generation.
basic situation:
good image > 4 secs blend > bad image => error
variations:
other blend times don't cause an error:
good image > 2 secs blend > bad image => success
good image > 8 secs blend > bad image => success
other transitions cause an error, too:
good image > 4 secs fade to black > bad image => error
good image > 4 secs page turn > bad image => error
changing the image order prevents the error:
bad image > 4 secs blend > good image => success
changing the format of the bad image to TIFF doesn't prevent the error.
changing colors/brightness of the bad image: a drastic change prevents the error. I adjusted the histogram and made everything much lighter.
Just a gamma correction with values between 1.2 and 2.0 didn't help.
changing the image size prevents the error. I decreased the size. The resulting image was still bigger than the monitor area, thus it still had to be scaled a bit by Encore DVD, but with this smaller version the error didn't occur. The original image is approx. 2000 px x 1400 px. Decreasing the size by 50% helped. Less scaling (I tried 90%, 80%, 70% and 60%, too) didn't help.
using a slightly blurred version (gaussian blur, 2 px, in Photoshop CS) of the bad image prevents the error.
My guess is that the error depends on rather subtle image properties. The blur doesn't change the images average brightness, the balance of colors or the size of the image, but still the error was gone afterwards.
The problem is that I will work with slide shows that contain more images than two. It would be too time consuming to try to generate the DVD over and over again, look at which slide an error occurs, change that slide, and then generate again. Even the testing I am doing right now already "ate" a couple of days of my working time.
Only thing I can do is to use a two image slide show and test image couple after image couple. If n is the number of images, I will spend (n - 1) times 3 minutes (which is the average time to create a two slides slide how with a blend). But of course I will try to prepare the images and make them as big as the monitor resolution, so Encore DVD doesn't have to scale the images any more. That'll make the whole generation process much shorter.
If I use JPGs or TIFFs, the pixel aspect ratio is not preserved when the image is imported. I scaled one of the images in Photoshop, using a modified menu file that was installed with Encore DVD, because it already has the correct size for PAL, the pixel aspect ratio and the guides for the save areas. I saved the image as TIFF and as PSD and imported both into Encore DVD. The TIFF is rendered with a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio and NOT with the D1/DV PAL aspect ration that is stored in the TIFF. Thus the image gets narrowed and isn't displayed the way I wanted it any more. Only the PSD looks correct. But I think I saw this already in another thread...
I cannot really understand why the MPEG encoding engine would produce bit rates that are illegal and that are not accepted afterwards, when Encore DVD is putting together all the stuff. Why is the MPEG encoding engine itself not throwing an error during the encoding process? This would save the developer so much time. Instead they have to wait until the end, thinking everything went right, and find out then that there was a problem.
Still, if sometime somebody finds out more about the whole matter I would be glad about further explanations.
Best regards,
Christian

Daily Currency Rate upload

Hi
We are working on 11.5.10.2.
How can I upload daily currency rate upload to my oracle application from bank or any other system ?
Will it be loaded in oracle GL and then drill down for use in AP and AR ?
We are planning to use multi currency payments, I mean raise an invoice in a foreign currency and pay in foreign currency?so what are the prerequisite set up required for achieving this?
Thanks

GL_DAILY_RATES_INTERFACE is the interface you use to create, update, and delete daily conversion rates. Customers should use this table to load rates into the GL_DAILY_RATES table.
To use this table to insert/update rates into GL_DAILY_RATES, insert rows into it with a FROM_CURRENCY, a TO_CURRENCY, a FROM_CONVERSION_DATE, a TO_CONVERSION_DATE, a USER_CONVERSION_TYPE, a CONVERSION_RATE, a MODE of 'I', and, optionally, an INVERSE_CONVERSION_RATE. Oracle General Ledger will automatically create rows in GL_DAILY_RATES for each date between the FROM_CONVERSION_DATE and the TO_CONVERSION_DATE, using the specified FROM_CURRENCY, TO_CURRENCY, USER_CONVERSION_TYPE, and CONVERSION_RATE.
INSERT INTO GL_DAILY_RATES_INTERFACE
     from_currency,
     to_currency,
     from_conversion_date,

Data Rates Cycling

I am seeing the data rates cycle from 11 mbps to 2mbps and then sometimes a very short spurt on 1mbps. I set the 350 AP custom data rates to 1 basic, 2 basic, 5.5 no and 11 no.
I have a client on win 2k with a 350 pci card installed but I see the same behavior on my laptop lmc card. When the rate is 11 mbps the client disassociates from the AP since we are 5.5 miles away. I use my laptop for site survey work and I have trouble with getting an association when I have a clear line of site and high gain antenna attached to LMC card.
The radio tower has 3 Cisco AP's runing off chanels 1, 6 & 11. I upgraded all 3 to 12.00T SW. I have 3 seperate line running up 240 feet to a MaxRad sectorized omni. i have 3 seperate DC powered RFLinx 250 mw amps at the top of the tower.
All my customers except the 1 I am debugging have Linksys wet11 bridges and they are all running fine with a 1 or 2 mbps setting. The Cisco PCI client card should not try a 11 mbps connection when I have set them for auto rate selection and the AP has the custom settings for 1 or 2 mbps, am I missing something here?

You can verify the following things:
Verify that the PC card or PCI adapter is installed correctly.
Verify that the configuration for the SSID on PC matches the access point's SSID.
If your device does not allow broadcast SSID to associate, change the setting to "yes" to see if it allows it to associate.
Temporarily disable any security features on both the access point and the client. If this solves the problem, check to make sure that the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key you use to transmit data is set up exactly the same on your AP and on any wireless devices with which it associates.
Note the configurations and enter them after a reset.
You can use the guidelines given in the following links:

Another Data Rate Too High Error Question

Hi all,
I have seen quite a few posts about pgc errors, but most of them deal with slideshows and not video; and I can't find anything with the REF=KApgc error.
I'm just putting all of my home movies onto an authored DVD, not rocket science. I'm using the 'Film Submenu' preset with only 5 main movies, things like Easter, Birthday, etc. My transition for each button is a slate (for lack of a better word) that says exactly what it is and when it happened, before each movie plays.
After I had everything set up, I realized I didn't have an ability to "play all" that would include these slates. Simple solution, make a 'play all' button that links to a timeline that has everything in it - the slate, then the movie, next slate, next movie and so on. (When I say movie - they are all .mov files rendered out from After Effects, even the slates)
My transcode settings are NTSC DV High Quality 7mb VBR 2 Pass and the "maximum quality" box is checked.
When I run the 'Check Disc' all is fine. Preview the disc, all is fine.
Build Disc: Hours of Transcoding then the error: Data Rate Too High at *timecode* REF=KApgc.
When this movie is by itself with a button click, it's fine. It's only in the "play all" timeline that it produces the error.
If the data rate isn't too high in one place, why is it too high in another? It's the same thing, just a longer timeline.
Please Help!
Thanks.

Thanks Jeff,
I feel kind of silly for not thinking of that as a solution to my play all dilemma. That's why you're the expert I guess.
A better solution would be to create a playlist of all of your other timelines; that way, only one copy of each gets burned to disc.
Hopefully the "data rate" error will go away with these changes.
-Jeff
Can I place my slates that are just assets (.mov) in the playlist or can I only put timelines in there?
Thanks again,
-Jim

Forecast weekly and daily data using BPS

Hi, we forecast cash on a weekly basis for 16 weeks and also do the current month daily forecast (daily forecast data gets rolled up to the current month weekly forecast numbers, so technically we do 12-13 weeks forecast on a weekly basis)...How can I set up such a scenario where both daily and monthly forecasting can be done...
Also, I have only one characteristic(line of business) other than time characteristics (Day, week, month, year).
We are on SEM-BPS 3.2

Hi Srinath, users can enter both Daily and Weekly forecasting. They do daily forecast for current month and also do 16 week forecast (which includes the current month). How can I integrate the current month daily with Weekly forecast. Any time they change the daily forecast, they want the weekly forecast for the current month to get updated based on the new data. I created a layout for daily with week as a selection variable. that way when they enter daily data, week infoObject info gets loaded. But how can I update the daily infoobject when they enter the weekly data.
I created two levels for Daily and Weekly before but it creates duplicates for weekly data...
