CS3 ratio and text question

I just don't get this ratio thing. I'm editing a project in widescreen. All of my assets show 720x480 under Video info in the project window, yet they all fit in the wide screen format in the timeline output. I don't get that because 720x480 is 4x3.
So I open the text window to insert some text and I see that that window is in the 4x3 format and I don't know how to widen it so that I can move the text anywhere on the widescreen timeline.
My main question is how to get the text window to be widescreen but if anyone can lend an explanation to this whole ratio thing I'd also appreciate it.
Thanks
Craig

There are two "Aspect Ratios." The first is the Aspect Ratio of the Frame Size. That is the 720 x 480, that you see. Then, there is the PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), that John T. mentioned. In SD, there are two common PAR's, that determine how the images are composed, using non-square pixels. Basically, they are 0.9 and 1.2 (CS4 and CS5 have corrected the rounding of these PAR's just a bit), meaning that for Standard (4:3), one has rectangular pixels that are taller, than they are wide, hence the 0.9 PAR and for Widescreen (16:9), they are wider, than they are tall, hence the 1.2 PAR. It's the same pixel x pixel count, but those pixels are different sizes of rectangles.
Good luck, and hope that this helps,
Hunt
PS - for 4:3 Titles, you can use the fixed Effects>Motion>Scale (unchecking Proportional), but do watch out for "stretched" Text, as it might be easier to redo, than alter those visual attributes.

Bridge cs3 preview and slideshow question

Hi
i have a question
does bridge cs3 need cache (drive space) to preview a photo or to see my photo with the slideshow feature ?
i mean does bridge need to render and store the photos in the database to let me see in the slideshow or browsing
i don't talk about thumbs
or does it on the fly?
thanks

If you don't need High Quality for thumbnails then select Quick Thumbnails in preferences.
I think as soon as you point Bridge to a folder of images it goes to work caching the thumbnails and previews. I'm using cs4, have forgotten how cs3 does it for quick thumbnails. You could point Bridge to a new folder of jpegs and watch the rotating indicator status display at the bottom; and you might get more information by posting in the Bridge forum.

Beginner Question: UL Nav Menu and Text Question

Ok, I appreciate the input in advance. Although I am using a Dreamweaver book and online tools like Lynda.com... there are some questions I can't find the answer too or just don't know how to articulate my issue correctly in a search browser to find the right answer...
So, my question:
I have used Spry menu's which are great, but I have taken the time to learn how to create a Pull Down Nav Menu from a Unordered List and CSS.
That UL is driven by text in the list...so what if you want to create an unordered list type Nav pulldown, but want to only use background graphics for the nav menu (i.e. text is already imbedded in the graphic from Photoshop or the graphic has no text and is just a graphic). Whenever I completely delete the text out of a List Item, that list item dissapears, which makes complete sense but begs the question of how do I create a Nav Menu with only graphics that will pull down into multiple levels?
Is what I am asking not a real standard practice and I shouldn't be doing it that way?
If it were a one level menu, I know I could just use floated DIV tags, but since I have pull downs I can't see how that would work in a multiple nested pull down Nav Menu.
Again, sorry for the noob question.. and I appreciate your responses in advance.

Thanks again Murray.. and yes I am serious. I am coding two sites right now for my personal businesses. I have a decent handle on Dreamweaver (but not straight coding which I am sure will come over time through trial and error...) and I now taking courses via Lynda and reading books on PHP.
After seeing your response above, I fell stupid as that is just a failure to learn HTML which is a double-edged sword of DW.
Things are not too bad so far, but I am trying to balance the need for getting the site up in a reasonable amount of time AND learning all the technology behind the site.
Since my site(s) will be actively managed, and I consider myself smart and technically savvy, I just couldn't justify paying someone to manage my sites that would need to be changed almost daily... would probably bankrupt me also.
I know some local sites for medium size businesses where they paid brand name web design companies $40-50k to design and build sites that really aren't that great..and are continuing to pay as they are active sites and they wanted someone to manage them. Other smaller companies are paying between $600 and $1,000 per STATIC page and they provided the artwork upfront and got some pretty simple web development back.
And in this economy, knowing how to design, build, and maintain a website probably isn't the worst skill to have in the event I ever find myself out of middle management CPG work
Some of my challenges I am trying to learn about right now are:
PHP & SQL for contact forms, login for restricted access, consumer feedback, etc.
RSS specific news feeds into the site
SEO
Problem is I seem to have more business ideas than time... I have worked in mid to upper mgmt for large CPG companies most of my life, and recently moved my family to Northwest Arkansas for my career. There is low-hanging fruit everywhere for internet businesses that are tied knowledge specific to the local "retailer" here..In fact, some of them I can't believe haven't been taken advantage of yet (which is why I feel time stressed in case someone else beats me too it).
Thanks again for all your help.

Sending text from cs4 to cs3 - fonts and text not showing

Hi I am trying to send files of text (I am using CS4 illustrator) to somebody with CS3 illustrator. I save the files in CS3 format but the other person either can't open the file, the file is blank or missing parts of text. (The files usually contain a mix of fonts). When I send pictures these usually are ok.
I would be very grateful for an answer to this problem as it's holding me up for work.

How are you sending files? Via email? Are you "zipping" them first?
Does your file contain anything other than type, such as a placed raster image or an object with raster effects (glows, shadows) applied to it?
Have you opened the file again, after saving as a CS3 file to verify it's correct before you send it?

Questions on tracking iphone and viewing pictures and texts

is it possible to track the location of another persons iphone? also is it possible to look up past texts/picture messages on a persons iphone to "spy"?

You can track any iPhone with find my friends app but each owner has to approve the location app also I don't know of anything short of a court order that will let someone else see what you are doing on the phone. Now any iPhone or apple device that you know the I d and password for can be tracked from the cloud if they have find my iPhone enabled and anyone with access to the bill can see numbers of callers and texts although iMessages do not show up on the bill they can be set up to go to another apple device as well as your iPhone if they are set up to go to an apple I d instead of a phone number and the iPhone can have more than one numbers messages if they are using the same iTunes account

Images, text and iViews question?

Hi All
I am trying to 'jazz up' some of my pages and worksets to make them more appealing. I am good with programs like photoshop and I want to incorporate some images and text.
Are there any iviews that allow you to do this?
Thanks all!

Hi Phil,
you can use XML forms and the KM Navigation iViews to display images and text mixed together in different ways.
When it comes to additional capabilities as multi language support, inplace editing, etc. you would need to a lot of implementation or have a look at solutions like http://www.easywcm.com
Hope it helps,

Question about the new 27" LED Cinema Display and text size

Hi, I own the 24" Apple LED Cinema Display and text on the monitor is just large enough for me. Won't text on the new 27" Display be much smaller with its higher resolution?

MANY thanks for the tip.
Now then - all indications are that my Mini will NOT pass audio via the MDP Cable given the age as well as the lack of an HDMI port (I know there isn't one this rig). Unless I am missing something I don't believe there is any adapter out there that will allow the audio to now pass through the MDP Cable if the rig itself was never configured to do so.
Following links in your posting, someone recommended this:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802 &p_id=6331&seq=1&format=2#description
However it seems to be set up to deliver A/V to an HDMI display, and unless I am mistaken, the 27" LED ACD does not have an HDMI in. Although my MacMini does have a S/PDIF Optical Digital Audio Output I don't believe the 27" LED ACD has any kind of separate audio input (either TOS Link or even 1/8 smini stereo).
So I reckon I am SOL with regard to getting the audio onto the new monitor from the Mini and I would need to keep my present speakers set up using the 18/" mini stereo out - but the video should still work......yes?

IPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1 stops receiving calls and text messages

Hi all,
My iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) suddenly stopped receiving calls and text messages. However, I'm still able to send them.
The workaround for fixing this issue is to make an hard reset to the iPhone.
This only occured with 5.0.1 version. It's very annoying because I'm not able to know if it's working or not (I can only suppose that it's not working when I'm a long period without receiving calls/messages)
Do you know how to solve this ?
Thanks in advance!

Performance issue and functional question regarding updates on tables

A person at my site wrote some code to update a custom field on the MARC table that was being copied from the MARA table. Here is what I would have expected to see as the code. Assume that both sets of code have a parameter called p_werks which is the plant in question.
data : commit_count type i.
select matnr zfield from mara into (wa_marc-matnr, wa_marc-zfield).
update marc set zfield = wa_marc-zfield
     where werks = p_werks and matnr = wa_matnr.
commit work and wait.
endselect.
I would have committed every 200 rows instead of every one row, but here's the actual code and my question isn't around the commits but something else. In this case an internal table was built with two elements - MATNR and WERKS - could have done that above too, but that's not my question.

Here's the question - why did this person enqueue and dequeue explicit locks like this ? They claimed it was to prevent issues - what issues ??? Is there something special about updating tables that we don't know about ? We've actually seen it where the system runs out of these ENQUEUE locks.
Before you all go off the deep end and ask why not just do the update, keep in mind that you don't want to update a million + rows and then do a commit either - that locks up the entire table!

The ENQUEUE lock insure that another program called by another user will not update the data at the same time, so preventing database coherence to be lost. In fact, another user on a SAP correct transaction, has read the record and locked it, so when it will be updated your modifications will be lost, also you could override modifications made by another user in another luw.
You cannot use a COMMIT WORK in a SELECT - ENDSELECT, because COMMIT WORK will close each and every opened database cursor, so your first idea would dump after the first update. (so the internal table is mandatory)

Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

Hi there,
We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
- Report Title
- Runt Date and Time
- Page No
And text area which displays 'Last Page'
Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
- Report title on first page only.
- text area on all pages
All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance for your help...
Manish

but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.

Cell border and text buttons.

Dear members:
I am a beginner and have just started using Dreamweaver.
After a few attempts and some reading I decided to post a message
with questions on a couple of problems I haven't been able to find
answers for.
The first one relates to table cell formating. I have tried
to set border properties for individual table cells but haven't
been able to. I would like to be able to set individual border
thickness and border color values for different cells in a table.
How is this done ? I have selected the cells I wish to format but
the property window shows color but not border thickness value. Any
ideas ?
The second issue relates to text rollover buttons. I wish to
create simple navigational buttons in a web site created from text
placed in table cells. The text should be created as one color
(gray) for the "up" state and then change to a different color as
the state changes to "over" and "down". I have looked at Flash
buttons but they are not exactly what I want and don't offer the
option I am looking for. Flash text also doesn't allow me to set
behaviors as most behaviors appear grayed and non-selectable. How
can I create rollover buttons from simple text that changes color
and style (normal, bold, italic) with state changes ?
Any help will be very appreciated. I apologize if these
questions seem basic but I am beginning to work with Dreamweaver.
Thank you in advance,
Joseph Chamberlain

Premiere Pro CS3 Crashed, and now will no longer start back up again..

I was working on a project today using Cs3, I've had it since spring and it always worked fine until tonight when i was editing a project.. In the middle of my editing the program unexpectedly froze than crashed...
I then tried to restart it and i got this message which popped up in 4 windows..
" Sorry a serious error has occurred that required adobe premiere pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project" i then hit ok and it exited completely, i tried to open it again, same thing..
so then i restarted my computer and i got a different message that said something like i wasn't aloud to use the program anymore and had to reinstall it or cal adobe tech support... so i put the CD in and re-installed it and got the same message when opening the program up again "serious error messages" I then went to the CS3 updates to update it back to version 3.2.0. But still continue to get the error message.
so something must have happened during my edit that caused it to stop working, but i have no idea what it could be. I even tried to do a System restore..which also got a error message....thanks vista...
anyways..i can use some help, thanks
:edit:
i tried to reinstall Premiere Pro 1.5 since Cs3 was an upgrade.. I reinstalled it then reinstalled Cs3 again, and i still get the "serious error Message" so that didn't work...

Ok i looked at the Troubleshooting site Eddie gave me, and tried to answer the questions as best i could.

I freed up a lot of space off of my hard drive, i only had like 5GB-10GB left, but it still worked when having such low space
I did a disk clean up as well as disk defragment, and moved a lot of high GB files over to my second hard drive. i have over 27GB of free storage left now, its a 150GB hard driver. should i have more?
I Tried holding down the Shift button, but didn't help
I tried to open up Encore Cs3 which came with Premiere, i barely ever used this one, but its funny how this wont work either. I think i used it once before and it worked. But it old how none of my Cs3 Programs. never installed On location.

How to restore the languages in the input sources under 'Language and Text'

Dear all,
Recently, I am trying to free up my disk space on my macbook and I downloaded this software call Monolingual. Basically, it removes languages that you do not use to free up the disk space.
However, I accidentally remove the language that I use which is Japanese and now it seems like I cannot find it anywhere under the input sources of language and text.
Does anybody know how I can restore everything back to normal?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Alfred

I think you will have to reinstall your OS. If you are running Yosemite, see
OS X Yosemite: Reinstall OS X
Best to avoid Monolingual and simlar "cleaning" utilties if possible, it is too easy to make mistakes that destroy parts of you system.
Your problem has nothing to do with your hardware, so in the futue it would be best to use the software forums for similar questions:
