Data rate when creating Quicktime h.264: difference between download and streaming ?
I've got a question on data rate setting when creating a quicktime movie with h.264 codec:
In the Compression settings dialog I can restrict the data rate to a certain value (e.g. in my case I use 20.000 kbit/s for creating a HD1080i movie).
There is an additional drop box "Optimized for" where I can select between "download", "streaming" and some other value.
Is anybody aware of the exact meaning of these settings ? My impression is, that using "download" I set the average bit-rate, allowing much higher bit-rates in peaks, while "streaming" sets a maximum bit-rate. Is that correct ? or are any other parameters affected by this setting ?
I now discovered, that the output file when using "streaming" with restriction of 20.000 kbit/s leads to a file with average bitrate of only approx 17.000 kbit/s (while it's more or less exactly 20.000 when using the "download" setting). Does that mean, that the overall quality of my output file would be worse ? or would only peak rates be affected (e.g. scenes with a lot of movement) and the overall quality remains the same ?
Happy to learn if anyone has any experiences / best practices on this topic.
Restrict isn't, it seems, a hard limit. When I specify 18Mbps it seems to run up to 21Mbps. But, that's fine since it's certainly isn't excessive and if I really cared I could set it at 15Mbps.
I suspect it might be more accurate with 2-pass. Also, i never ever use the Apple codec. i use x264 which allows more encoding tools. And, even it is not a super good H.264 encoder.
Using rates under 2400Mbps is IMHO asking for the near impossible for good quality SD video.

Difference between "Web" and "Streaming"
Can anyone tell me what the difference between Web and Streaming is when exporting a Movie from iMovie? I know they both go on a webpage but why are there two options?
ThanksTrue streaming media is not cached on the viewing machine. No cache means nothing to save as a new file. You can only save a "reference" to the source file stream.
Media Links (very cool feature rarely used by most users) make a .qtl file. This is also just a reference movie (very tiny file size) but can include many features found (usually) in the Pro upgrade of QuickTIme and/or AppleScript and Automator Action features.
Using Media Link files will allow you to add "Presentation" playback features to your QuickTime file (Full Screen, close when done, etc). You can add a "link" inside your QuickTime file so when the image is clicked a Web page would open. One of mine as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/GetA_MacText.qtl
You'll notice the file will download (0.3KB's) then launch QuickTime Player and play full screen. Click on the movie to learn more. -
Difference between DOWNLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD
hi
let me know the difference between DOWNLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD and giv me clear idea of wat and wat not should be done with respect to conversion from download to gui_Download??????
give me clear process of putting my download data into my own defined file name .. during manual and backgrnd job. process..
thanks inadvanceHi Shaik,
DOWNLOAD function module is obsolete now and DOWNLOAD as well as WS_DOWNLOAD should be replaced by GUI_DOWNLOAD function module.
The only matter you need to be careful off is mapping the parameters correctly.
Also, you have asked "during manual and backgrnd job. process.. " , well GUI_DOWNLOAD or any download module for downloading to Presentation server CANNOT be used in the background.
Because background work processes are run on application server level and do not have access to the desktop of any PS.
For downloading to the presentation server essentially, pass the contents of internal table to DATA_TAB tables parameter and pass the presentation server file name to FILENAME importing parameter.
Cheers,

When cloning the 11 DB, difference between dbconfig and running autoconfig?
Hi,
Doing 11i cloning. I never used to use autoconfig on the db tier, just recreate the control file, open the db, get the listener running, and only otherwise use apps autoconfig.
I still have to recreate the controlfile by hand, since using hot backups, so for the db cloning portion I am now using dbtechstack (initially), then recreate the control file, apply the archive logs, open the database, and then run perl adcfgclone.pl dbconfig (xml file)as per app. B of MOS 230672.1.
Now when I just ran perl dbconfig, I was having some issues. I normally specify the XML file, but this time left it blank to let it ask me the
questions. Anyway, it asked the questions, then started re-createing the controfile and hosed my db, which I am restoring now.
If I specify the xml file (that appears to be good from dbtechstack above)-- will it NOT then try to recreate the controlfile? I am afraid
to run dbconfig again -- since it could mean another restore and I don't have time.
As an alternative, what I have done in the past ... is this (instead of dbconfig) as the db user.
1. relink oracle
2. relink all
3. run autocfg.sh for the db (ie regular, garden-variety autoconfig for the db, not dbconfig).
In the past this alternative has worked well when I've not used db autoconfig at all for the clone, and want to get autoconfig
running on the db tier, and it has been a while since I cloned.
So my question is -- is dbconfig with the specification of the xml file the same as a relink + regular db autoconfig?
The reason I am asking, is that sometimes by not strictly following note 230672.1 my cloned db's have some wierd issues that show up in patching.
Thanks marvIf I specify the xml file (that appears to be good from dbtechstack above)-- will it NOT then try to recreate the controlfile? I am afraidIt will not create the controlfiles for you and you still need to recreate it manually.
So my question is -- is dbconfig with the specification of the xml file the same as a relink + regular db autoconfig?Correct (remember to run the library update script once you open the database).
In addition to (230672.1 - Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i with Rapid Clone), please see (Cloning Oracle Application 11i /R12 with Rapid Clone - Database (9i/10g/11g) Using Hot Backup on Open Database [ID 760772.1]).
The reason I am asking, is that sometimes by not strictly following note 230672.1 my cloned db's have some wierd issues that show up in patching.What kind of issues?
Thanks,

Media Foundation Source or H264 / AC3 differences between Windows and Phone 8?
I've got a working Matroska (MKV) Media Foundation Source for a Windows Store app (PC x86). It will play several different matroska files that contain H264 encoded video and AC3-encoded audio. It even has seek support. I've written the app
as a HTML/typescript Universal app with the MF Source as a C++ dll.
The problem is that the same code will not work on Windows Phone 8. I can play videos that don't require the external MF Source (i.e. MP4 files and AVI files) just fine on both platforms through my app, but the same MKV videos that played on an x86
PC will not play on Windows Phone 8 (Lumia 920).
I looked at the specs for the Snapdragon processor and it should be able to support both H264 at 720p resolution and AC3 (2-channel only). So I don't know what else I need to do to get this to work on WP8. The audio I'm trying to play is actually
6-channel, so that made me wonder if it was failing because WP8 supports 2-channel max, but I would have thought the audio just wouldn't work and the video would play normally.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
*edit* - just to be more specific, I can parse the file and create the presentation descriptor without errors. But when I finish opening the file and call the event for that, nothing else happens. What is weird is that the javascript video player
never throws the "canplay" event, nor does it throw the "error" event.
Lee McPhersonThanks, not a bad suggestion to try.
On my Windows machine, I tried to get the MediaEncodingProfile via the createFromFileAsyc method. With a known file type, it outputs all properties of the video and audio streams (bitrate, etc). With an MKV file (container file with H264 video
and AC3 audio), I only get the type and subtype properties. Everything else is zero or null. This is because in my MFSource, I only set the type and subtype. This still allows the video to play on my windows machine. I assume the
built-in MFTransform for H264 video-to-uncompressed video parses the stream to get the relevant information. Likewise for audio.
On Windows Phone, when querying the file's MediaEncodingProfile, I get the same result. This is telling me that my MFSource will parse the file properly and set the subtypes for video and audio correctly. Everything else is still null or zero.
However, the file does not play. There is no returned event to the video element that it even *can* play.
Perhaps, I need to fill in the video and audio stream properties on the Windows Phone version. I really don't want to because that would mean having to parse some of the underlying video and audio streams themselves, not just parsing the container
information. (More work!) But this is what I mean when I ask about the differences between Windows and Windows Phone... perhaps the WP8.1 & Windows MFTransforms are different?
*EDIT* - I do get a JavaScript Console error that I didn't notice before: AUDIO/VIDEO: unknown MIME type. (VS error code: MEDIA12899)

How to calculate the difference between intdate and getdate
Hi,
My requirement is to get the data for all the claims where the difference between transactiondate and getdate() should be less than or equal to 7 which means any claims that happened in the past week.
So, my query would be something like this
select * from claims
where transactiondate-getdate < 8
But my transactiondate is in int format such as 20150331 and getdate would be in the format of 2015-03-31. Can someone please help me on how can i achieve the difference between these 2 date formats in the where clause.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if i am unclear.
ThanksHi SqlDev12,
Please find the below condition in your query,hope it would help you
DATEDIFF(DD,CAST(CAST(TransactionDate
AS
VARCHAR)
AS
DATETIME),GETDATE())
< 8

Hi,
Can any one please let me know which BW variable is to be used for date(range) when creating a portal service for searching based on dates.
Thanks
AbhaiHi Arun,
its just a portal service which would be called when searching a document created on a particular date or betwwen a range of date.so what i require is which BW variable to be used when handling range.As for variable technical name we use VAR_NAME_I and for single value variable we VAR_VALUE_EXT_I
in the similar manner i want BW variable to be used for range of values.

Return rows when there is a certain difference between dates
Hello.
I have table called
#president#
pres_name
birth_date
and
#winner#
name
year_elected
I would like to have all presidents returned, who where under the age 50 when they where elected.
year_elected is only a 4 digit number; 1924 etc while birth_date is 2001-01-01 etc.
I have no idea how to make this work, ive tried substr and alot of other weird (and prob wrong) stuff.
select distinct p.pres_name, substr(p.birth_date, 0, 4), w.year_elected
from president p, winner w
where p.pres_name = w.nameI did this query witch will show me all presidents, and their dates of election and date of birth. Now i just want something that only returns the guys where its a 49 (?) value difference between birth_date and year_elected

Difference between ob08 and oc41 Transaction code in Exchange rate
Hi,
Can any one help me out what is the difference between OB08 and Oc41 in transaction code in Exchange rates...
Thanks in Advance
Sivanandhi Siva,
When foreign currencies are valuated, all the open items that were posted in a foreign currency are valuated. The valuation is based on the individual open items in a foreign currency, that is, each open item in a foreign currency is valuated individually.
The exchange rate table is OB08
AND
OC41 is another transaction to the exchange rate table.
When you try to change you cannt change the rates sometimes.... but u can see the rates displayed.......

Hi,
Can you please let me know what could be the difference between archiving and Inactivating the Qualitative Lookup in Data Admin Tool Kit.
Thanks,
Rohini MWhen you inactive or archive something it is no longer available for selection. The difference between inactive and archive is that inactive items will still appear available for searching purposes while archive items will not.
So lets say you have the following:
List A
- Item 1
- Item 2
List Items
If you were to inactivate Item 1, end users would no longer see it available for selection when using the qualitative extended attribute. However when they search for specs based on the extended attribute they would still be able to select Item 1 so they could find objects that used that value. If you were to archive Item 1, end users should no longer see it available for selection anywhere - including searching.
Lists
If you were to inactive or archive the entire List A, you would no longer see it available for selection when setting up qualitative lookup extended attributes. I don't think there is anywhere you can search for extended attributes by lookup list currently out of the box so these would act similar. If there was a place to search for extended attributes by lookup list then it would follow the same rules as above. -
FTPS settings Difference between control and control with data
Hi guys,
Just a very quick question please. When doing FTPS there are two options
1) control
2) control with data
Can anyone explain what's the difference between the two?
regardsHi,
FTPS (FTP Using SSL/TLS) for Control Connection
The FTP control connection is protected using TLS/SSL (Transport Layer Security/Secure Sockets Layer). File transfer is unencrypted.

Difference between standard and actual activity rates
Dear All,
My client is having a process in which while downloading KOB1 the system is giving report of all the process orders wise activities confirmed in that month against some cost center.
Now when i am going into line item it takes me to process order confirmation display where activiies to be confirmed and activities yet to be confirmed are displayed.
After that cost center report S_alr_87013611 is displayed wherein actual rates(quantity ) is displayed for that activities.
Now the system shows difference between actual and standard activities.
The difference is the calculated in excel on the basis of KOB1 report and difference is loaded process order wise on calculation done in excel through LSMW (for transaction KB21n) wherein difference quantity is posted from cost center to process order.
Now client needs automation in the sense that no excel calculation should be done and difference should be posted for that month for each process order in the ratio calculated in excel.
Kindly provide any solutions if any, avaliable in standard or Z development has to be done.
Thanks and Regards,
VLMDear AP,
Have you any idea about how in above case Z development is to be done?

Difference between passive and active data connection mode for FTP
Hi,
Does any body have the idea of passive and active data connection mode for the transport protocol FTP.
I have one server with FTP, I have to pick the data from this FTP to XI.
What is the difference between active and passive data connection? Does XI supports both the connections?
Thanks & Regards
Katta Mohan ReddyHi
According to SAP Note - 821267
Q: Does the File Adapter support active data connections when connecting to an FTP server?
A: Up to and including SP14, the File Adapter exclusively uses passive data connections. Starting with SP15, active connections will be available.
Difference between active and passive,
You can definitely refer to the site mentioned by Suraj
