Correct DVD Format for hp DVD A DS8A5LH

I have an hp g7-1150us with an hp DVD A DS8A5LH optical drive.  To burn DVD for this drive do I purchase DVD-R or DVD+R blank disks? Or is this a "dual format" drive?
This question was solved.

  • Date formats for SQL statements used by recordset object

    Hi,
    Date formatting appears to be quite problematic for Business One.  I did a forum search for date issues and I don't think I saw any of them with an "answered" status.  I have an issue with formatting a date for the creation of an SQL statement that the DI sends to SQL Server 2005.  I need to format a date so that the localization parameters don't matter for either the client machine or SQL Server's machine.  We don't have a problem as long as our machines are localized as USA.
    I have PL 22 and I have a form - ours - where I use the Today() function to fill a date field.  So this is a date that is not entered by the user.  The result of this function is consistent with the localization parameters on my machine.  We have two other date fields on the form where the user must type in the date. 
    As a test, I changed my machine to the UK parameters.  I then set up the language parameters of Business One for English(United Kingdom).  I changed the date format specifications in Business One so that its format is dd/mm/yy.  I then brought up the form and the field that is formatted by the above function arrived in the form's field as dd/mm/yy.  I then typed in the two other dates in the same format and added the record to the database.  The form's table is user-defined. 
    I dismissed the form then brought it back up loaded with the new record.  The date that was entered by the function appeared in USA format (mm/dd/yy).  The dates that were typed in appeared in the Business One format (dd/mm/yy).  This of course is not consistent.
    When I looked at what got into the database, the formats were the opposite.  Weird!  To make matters really confusing, I run an SQL statement within SQL Server Mgt Studio, and use the WHERE clause to filter on the date that was based on the function.  It didn’t matter what format I used for the WHERE clause, the record came up.  Does anyone have any idea about how I can ensure that I always use the correct date format for SQL statements passed by Business One to SQL Server regardless of where in the world the application is being run?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Ian,
    Here's what I'm concerned about:  I’m using the date in a “WHERE” clause.
    Assume the date is Aug 3, 2007.
    "SELECT * FROM Table WHERE StartDate > ‘8/3/2007’"
    OR
    "SELECT * FROM Table WHERE StartDate > ‘3/8/2007’"
    If the client machine is set up as USA, the today function will provide the date as formatted in the first query.  If the database server is setup as let’s say the UK, I believe that SQL Server query parser will interpret the date as Mar 8, 2007.
    If the client machine is set up as UK, the today function will provide the date as formatted in the second query.  If the database server is setup as let’s say USA, I believe that SQL Server query parser will also interpret the date as Mar 8, 2007.
    In both cases it would be wrong.
    I know I could use the DATEPART function to get the three parts and this will make the code indifferent to the localization specs of the client machine.  I need to then be able to concatenate those date parts for the “WHERE” clause so that the localization specifications of the database server don’t matter.
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • What exact file format for exporting AVCHD to HDD of Sony HDR-SR12E (AVCHD) Handycam?

    When you are finished editing AVCHD files with Adobe Premiere Elements 11, what is the correct file format for exporting back to the hard drive of the Sony HDR-SR12E handycam?
    I used Sony Play Memories software to import AVCHD (.m2Ts) files at 1920x1080i PAL resolution. I tried rendering to several file formats after editing, but the files could not be exported in high definition back to the hard drive of the AVCHD camera. 
    I WAS able to import files from camera in Play Memories and then export them straight back to camera WITHOUT any editing, but of course you wouldn't bother doing this normally.
    I grew to love using Premiere Elements 10 for editing sd footage from my mini dv camera. However,  I've just purchased the AVCHD handycam and expect to receive my newly purchased copy of Premiere Elements 11 in a couple of days.
    Can anybody suggest the correct file format to produce for exporting AVCHD footage edited in PE11 originally captured on the Sony HDR-SR12E back to the camera?
    - Regards, Phil

    Phil
    Premiere Elements 10 has the Share/Tape (Record to DV). And, even that is for just DV, not HDV. There is no such choice in Premiere Elements 11 and 12.
    So, you are going to have to match up the properties of the original with Export settings and try to get the file exported onto the camera's hard drive if that is possible. Does the Sony user guide give instructions for how to import one of your video to its hard drive?
    The theory depends on how close you want the export of the edit to match the camera's original. There is no .m2ts file extension in any of the Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD choices. If the .m2ts file extension is a must..
    One scheme to get a AVCHD.m2ts 1920 x 1080i25 for your camera's hard drive - lots of ifs
    1. Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD and burn to folder using presets = H.264 1920 x 1080i PAL Dolby.
    (The preset cannot be customized so you will go with the Adobe bitrate.for the preset)
    2. Then go to the folder saved to the computer's hard drive, open the BDMV Folder, then the STREAM Folder of the BDMV Folder, and use the 00000.m2ts file there as your file destined for your camera's hard drive.
    If the hard drive will accept ..m2t, then you could use Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = M2T - H.264 1920 x 1080i25 and customize the export settings under the Advanced Tab/Video Tab and Audio Tab.
    Please review and then let us know if any of this works for you.
    Thanks.

  • Best video format for converting DVD to NAS for widely sharing

    Summary: The article shows you with an easy workaround for
    copying DVD to NAS for streaming by ripping DVD to NAS friendly video
    format on Mac and Windows
    I recently purchased a NAS to store all my music/photos etc on. I
    can stream stuff to my iPhone/iPad using the NAS software. What I want
    to do is rip all my DVDs (over 400) to my NAS, but I’m not sure which
    format to do it in, to play nice with my Apple TV2, Xbox 360, iPhone,
    iPad etc. I wanna get some advice as to what format to rip in and what
    software to use?
    Learn some tips from online, I got know that to copy dozens of DVD movies to NAS,
    you need to get the content off the DVD disc as a protection-free and
    easily readable element for NAS. In this case, at the first place
    powerful third-party software for backup DVD to NAS is what you need.
    There are many, many DVD ripping tools on the market. I’ve tired a pile of them.
    Brorsoft DVD Ripper
    is the best one I’ve tried yet. It is capable of ripping DVD to MP4,
    AVI, MKV for NAS streaming with no quality loss; it also enables you to
    copy DVD main movies for backup onto NAS in .vob format. And what I’ve
    learned is that MP4 would be one best target format for it is fully
    compatible with nearly all media devices including iPad, iPhone, PS3,
    Apple TV, etc. If you are running on Mac OS X, turn to  DVD Ripper for Mac. If you haven’t got the software, download it now and let’s start the conversion.
    Ripping and copying DVDs to NAS
    1. Launch the DVD ripping program for NAS devices . Then
    click "Load DVD" to import the DVD files you want to convert. To select
    the subtitles you like, simply click Subtitle and select the one you
    prefer. P.S. Before start the conversion, you can choose to backup DVD mian movies.
    2. Click Format bar and choose your desired format. To store
    hundreds of DVD's on NAS, you can rip DVD to .mp4, or .avi, .mkv, etc
    compressed format. And click Settings bar, you can adjust the level of
    compression to suit the quality you want.
    Tip: If you like, you can click “Settings” to change the
    video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. Keep in mind
    the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution
    which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible
    quality loss, and vice versa.
    3. Press the "Convert" button to start ripping DVD for NAS streaming.
    After the conversion, click Open button to find the output files.
    Make sure the wireless network connection is accessible among the NAS
    and Apple TV, PS3, HD TV or other media players. Then just enjoy the
    high quality DVD movies anywhere anytime.

    I've always found encoding with Handbrake and choosing the Apple TV2 preset is an excellent place to start and video encoded using that preset will work on my iPhone 4, 4S and iPad 2. 
    If the files encoded using that preset are too big for one's taste they can always encoded at a lower average bit rate rather than using the default 'Constant Quality' of 20.
    Later on I'm sure the Handbrake group will have an AppleTV '3' preset supporting the 1080p format supported by the ATV3 and iPad '3' but using such a preset would not create a file usable on the iPad 2 or the iPhones.

  • Help with Format for DVD Project

    I have been using FCP to create video with two tracks of audio (one instrumental & one vocal).
    I want to learn about format for output to DVD. I have exported as QuickTime movie and stereo downmix so that I have one track of audio in DVDSP and when it plays on 2 speakers I have the two channels of audio - one on instrumental, one vocal. Cool. To get that I must use Custom Settings as I learned from another thread posted here last week or so.
    Question #1:
    +What format do I use when I enter that custom setting window for the Aspect Ratio?+ I think it should be 4:3, yes?
    Question #2:
    Maybe I should be using Compressor. If yes - +how do I get those 2 tracks in FCP to get into that stereo downmix format? How do I get the 2 separate audio files in to compressor and output to DVDSP?+
    If in that process I end up with 1 video file and 2 audio files and import those assets into DVDSP, +Will I be able to have one audio track that has 2 channels? or will I be able to have 2 audio tracks that play on two different speakers?+
    I seem to be able to get the results I want most of the time, but I am basically phutzing around and somehow God honors it - I wish I knew more what I was doing.

    Depends on the source material, if it is 4:3 then 4:3 would be proper if it is 16:9 (HDV or anamorphic would in all likelihood be the ones you are using (?) then 16:9 would be the aspect ratio
    Question #2:
    Maybe I should be using Compressor. If yes - +how do I get those 2 tracks in FCP to get into that stereo downmix format? How do I get the 2 separate audio files in to compressor and output to DVDSP?+
    In older version of AC3 encoder (a.Pack) you could use two seperate files in and assign left right
    To export each side individually you should mute one audio track then export the other then reverse to get the other file (also look at page IV-147, IV-151 of the Final Cut Pro Manual - Chapter is called Exporting Audio for Mixing in case we looking at different versions)
    But if you bring the two audio files into DVD SP like that you will hear only one audio track (in DVD SP) at a time.
    If you take a look at Chapter 7 Page 96, Page 100 of the PDF (at least in the PDF I just popped up, not sure which Compressor you are running, it is in the section Creating Dolby Digital Professional Files) it describes the encoding selections a bit more.
    Are you running into an issue? Sounds like you are not (which is good )

  • Save Formats for DVDs for use on Computer

    I'm using a pre-loaded DVD template to create a DVD with a Title menu, scene menu, etc.  Is there any option for me to save this format for use on my computer only?
    Instead of burning this to a DVD, I'd like to save the final product as a file with the same function as the DVD (usable menu, skip to set scene markers, etc).  Does that make sense?
    The idea is to not have to burn 10+ DVDs, but save these files to a flash drive and access them through a computer or TV.
    I'm using Premiere Elements 12.
    Thank you!

    Premiere Elements 12/12.1 on what computer operating system?
    Assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit for the moment and DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc....
    1. You could consider Publish+Share/webDVD which is really a flash file that comes with disc menu of your choice.
    The saved folder from the process can be played back on the computer using Foxfire and Internet Explorer. I do not see you playing that back on TV.
    2. In Premiere Elements, if you export Timeline content to file saved to the computer hard drive, menus are not included.
    Please review the above. I am think about this some more.
    Thanks.

  • How can I use the MPEG-2 DVD format for video rendering?

    I have been trying to make a DVD out of my brother's wedding footage, but I've run into a wall. I would like to render out my footage in the .M2V format (MPEG-2 DVD), but I'm not given the option to use it. The only MPEG format I'm given is the .H264, and that doesn't work as well. How can I install the .M2V codec?

    You should either:
    Render to a suitable production codec and then compress for DVD in your authoring application.Use the Render Cue to render a PhotoJpg at NTSC or PAL file using default frame sizes for your AE rendering composition, then drop in Encore for authoring.
    Open your AE project in Adobe Media Encoder, pick the composition you want to render from the list and pick the MPEG 2 for DVD preset.
    Open Adobe Encore, select File>Dynamic Link>Import After Effects Composition and then set up your timelines and menu's as you like and select Build DVD.
    All DVD authoring programs will compress standard def video in just about any format for DVD. After Effects, however, will not do multi-pass rendering which is required for high quality MPEG compression.

  • Best format for DVD studio pro??

    I will be exporting from FCP4.5 and am wondering what is the best format to get the best possible quality from FCP to DVDSP? Also, should I go through compressor and what settings should I use?
    I also want to make my own video transistions, what is the best format for those as well?
    Thank You

    The movie is 90 minutes.
    You didn't mention your video format. You can export your movie as QuickTime Movie (not QT Conversion), same settings and self contained (my favorite flavor). The use that movie in Compressor and use the Best Quality DVD: 90 min presets encoding your video to MPEG2 and your audio to Dolby 2 (AC3).
    That's the best standard workflow. With standard I mean that sometimes some kind of footage can need different treatment.
    Hope that helps !

  • Having trouble converting dvd-rw vr to a format for idvd 3

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to convert my dvd-rw vr dvd i burned to a format I can edit in either idvd 3 or imovie 3? I have mpeg stream clip but it is a bit confusing for this novice.

    What does "vr" refer to? To convert DVD files you'll need to have Apple's mpeg plugin ($20 if you haven't purchased it as part of Apple's pro software, etc.) along with MPEG Streamclip. Here's an article about the alternatives:
    Converting Unprotected DVDs
    http://www.macworld.com/article/59308/2007/08/sept07mac911.html
    You'd be converting the files into a format for iMovie (DV Stream, otherwise known as .dv) if you're wanting to do any editing.

  • What is the correct format for localhost URL?

    I've installed MAMP to run a local test server.
    This appears to be working correctly with the URL in the following format:
    http://localhost/folder/filename.php/
    Where folder is the folder for the site located inside the Apache Document Root Folder - as defined in the MAMP preferences.
    I have web sharing turned off.
    Looking around the web it seems that the format for the URL should be:
    http://localhost/~username/folder/filename.php
    However, when I insert "~username" in the URL the browser can't find the page.
    These are my first tentative steps in setting up a local test server and so I'm concerned that something might be amiss!
    I've hunted around and can't find any documentation that clarifies the issue.
    Can anyone clarify the issue or point me to appropriate documentation.
    Thanks.

    The second format is for a different location - in your Home folder.  This would work if; a. Apache was installed using the Home folder; and b. if "folder" existed in the Home folder.  Use the form you are currently using since it works.

  • Getting correct field length when creating formats for delimited flat files

    Using Data Services 3.2 to pull in tsv and Excel source files.
    When creating a new format for each file, DS tries to intelligently set the field size for each column. However, it seems to sample only a portion of the file. The end result is that it often determines too short a length for a field.
    Is there a way to force it to scan an entire file before it sets the field length? Or alternatively, how to get it to at least throw an error instead of silently truncating my data?

    I am not aware of any way to force DS to scan the whole file, or to log a warning when it truncates.  The field sizes DS sets by using a sample of the data is only really to give you a starting point, you need to try and determine the maximum possible lengths preferably from someone who understands the source of the data or through profiling.  But the profiling method will obviously only be based on the data you have at the time of profiling, new data added to the source later could exceed the field lengths.  The way I prefer to handle this is to set all the field lengths to longer than expected, eg. varchar(999) and then use a validation transform immediately after reading the file to check for any fields that exceed the maximum allowed for the target system and send these to an error file/table.

Maybe you are looking for
