Difference between PC and Mac movie

Hi! I've authored a CD-ROM title that calls for a number of
PDF docs to open throughout it. Unfortunately, the PDFs
(baOpenFile) are not opening on the mac (they have in the past),
and many of my text elements are not lined up anymore. What gives?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! chris
P.S. - I used the _movie.path& ("Docs\doc.pdf", "Normal")
method, which has always worked in the past.

Don't forget about the Mac "update" a while ago. From what
I've read in other forums and unbeknowst to Mac users, Apple
changed the default viewer for pdf's; they open in Preview now and
not in Acrobat Reader.
I had all kinds of issues with this on my last project and
even though it opened Reader a few months ago on the Mac, after an
update sometime in January, the pdf's open in Preview.
Unfortuntaley, some text and elements didn't appear on the screen
anymore and all of my interactive buttons, etc. in the pdf no
longer work in Preview, only in Reader, so I had to add a note to
the CD that mac users have to click on a pdf file and tell the mac
to open it using Reader not Preview. Once the user does this on
their end, pdf's can be opened in Reader by default.
Apple computers suck.

Difference between PC and mac?

With the Intel-based macs, we can install Windows on a mac and run it as if it's running on a PC. That leads me to a question. What exactly is the difference between PC and mac? I know they are different on the OS, but that's just on a software level, which I don't think constitutes the difference. The hard drives are formatted differently on both machines, I know, but we can still use the same hard drive for both a PC or a mac, we just have to format it the right way. So what really is the main thing that constitutes the difference between a PC and a mac? Putting it this way, I can run PC on a mac, can I do it the other way round? Can I install a Mac OS 10.5 on a pure PC made by companies like hp or Dell (or I can easily make one on my own) with an Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad processor, and run the machine like it's a mac?

It doesn't work well because the Mac hardware itself is different from what is found in any other Intel-based computer. Even the CPU's & support chips are not off-the-shelf Intel parts but variants optimized for Macs that are not available to other computer makers or to DIY enthusiasts.
This is probably why for a time in 2007 the 'fastest Windows notebook on earth' was a MacBook Pro, as tested by PC World, a fact touted for a while in Apple TV ads. (It lost that title to a more conventional Wintel laptop about a month later, but the new champ cost over $5000, had "almost nonexistent" battery life, & weighs over 11 pounds, which should give you some idea of the advantages an Intel-Apple collaboration has over the competition.)

Difference between 122 and 161 movement type

Hi,
Can anyone explain me the difference between 122 and 161 movement type?
How will be the finance postings?
Can these movement types will be used in outbound delivery? If so,what kind of scenarios this can be used?
Thanks
Srini

Hi
Both are belongs to vendor return
1. 122 - return to vendor -total consignment - return total received gr qty
Migo - return delivery with 122- j1is - credit memo
2. 161 - here you have to crate the return po. return to vendor for partial qty.
after po- gr - j1is-credit memo

What is the difference between 651 and 653 movement types

Hi
What is the difference between 651 and 653 movement types
Points will be rewarded
Regards
Suddu

Hi,
Whenever goods movment happens following things are going on in the background:
A material document is generated, which is used as proof of the movement and as a source of information for any other applications involved.
If the movement is relevant for Financial Accounting, one or more accounting documents are generated.
The stock quantities of the material are updated.
The stock values in the material master record are updated, as are the stock and consumption accounts.
651 - two steps - with a transfer posting using 453
653 - one steps - direct post to unrestricted used
*Using movement type 651, you post returns from a customer with a return delivery in Shipping to blocked stock returns.
Using 653 movement type, you post returns from the customer with returns delivery via Shipping directly to the valuated stock.
<b>Reward if helpful.</b>
Thanks

Difference between header and item movement types in MIGO

Dear all,
what is the difference between movement type entered in header of MIGO and item level?
not all movements are possible in header. how it is controlled? may not be in OMJJ
thanks and regards
gajanan

Hi Gajanan,
Movement types in Standard SAP are predefined. You can also create a new movement type, but generally it is not required.
In MIGO ,movement types on right hand side corner changes as per the transaction your are carrying out in header level like
Good reciept, Good issue, , Cancellation, subsequent adjustment, Remove from storage, placer in storage etc.....
As you go for transaction and make allocation in the allocation field, the movement type changes.

Difference between Windows and Mac versions

Could anyone tell me whether the files generated by the Mac version of In-design stricly identical to the *.indd and other files (templates, libraries) generated under Window? If not, what are the differences? Thanks in advance for any help.

There is no significant difference, but they will not be bit-for-bit identical.
For instance, the INDD file format records which version and platform of InDesign created the file, so that small piece of information will certainly differ. Also, historically, when Macs used non-Intel processors with different byte order, ID may have stored some numbers in reversed byte order. But since everything is Intel now, that's not an issue.
In any case, there is 100% compatibility between both platforms. Mac ID can read Windows ID and vice versa.

What is the difference between Windows and Mac formating?

Hello guys!
My question is in subject, just wondering what is real difference and what kind of restrictions in usability i could expect?
Thanks,
Ivan

Mac OS X uses a file system that it inherited from Mac OS called HFS Plus. HFS Plus is a metadata-rich and case preserving file system. Due to the Unix roots of Mac OS X, Unix permissions were added to HFS Plus. Later versions of HFS Plus added a journal to prevent corruption of the file system structure and introduced a number of optimizations to the allocation algorithms in an attempt to defragment files automatically without requiring an external defragmenter.
Filenames can be up to 255 characters. HFS Plus uses Unicode to store filenames. On Mac OS X, the filetype can come from the Type code stored in file's metadata or the filename.
HFS Plus has three kinds of links: Hard links, Symbolic links and Aliases. Aliases are designed to maintain a link to their original file even if they are moved or renamed.
FAT32
In order to overcome the volume size limit of FAT16, while still allowing DOS real-mode code to handle the format without unnecessarily reducing the available conventional memory, Microsoft decided to implement a newer generation of FAT, known as FAT32, with cluster counts held in a 32-bit field, of which 28 bits are currently used.
In theory, this should support a total of approximately 268,435,438 (< 228) clusters, allowing for drive sizes in the range of 2 terabytes. However, due to limitations in Microsoft's scandisk utility, the FAT is not allowed to grow beyond 4,177,920 (< 222) clusters, placing the volume limit at 124.55 gigabytes, unless "scandisk" is not needed [3].
FAT32 was introduced with Windows 95 OSR2, although reformatting was needed to use it, and DriveSpace 3 (the version that came with Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98) never supported it. Windows 98 introduced a utility to convert existing hard disks from FAT16 to FAT32 without loss of data. In the NT line, support for FAT32 arrived in Windows 2000.
Windows 2000 and Windows XP can read and write to FAT32 filesystems of any size, but the format program on these platforms can only create FAT32 filesystems up to 32 GB. Thompson and Thompson (2003) write[4] that "Bizarrely, Microsoft states that this behavior is by design." Microsoft's knowledge base article 184006[3] indeed confirms the limitation and the by design statement, but gives no rationale or explanation. Peter Norton's opinion[5] is that "Microsoft has intentionally crippled the FAT32 file system."
The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GiB minus 1 B (232-1 bytes). For most users, this has become the most nagging limit of FAT32 as of 2005, since video capture and editing applications can easily exceed this limit, as can the system swap file.

What is the difference between iMac and Mac pro?

I want to buy an iMac but have saw the mac pro. What is the difference? Do you need an iMac to get a mac pro or does it come with a monitor?

Yes, exactly as Kappy has stated.
The iMac is an "all-in-one" computer similar to an HP Envy, or HP Touchsmart.
HP Envy Here: http://tinyurl.com/bb-hp-envy
HP Touchsmart Here: http://tinyurl.com/bb-hp-touchsmart
These are an "all-in-one" machine, where the CPU (central processing unit), mainboard, and graphics display adapter are all embedded onto one board, and it is built-in to the monitor display case.
So you just have what looks like a "thicker" monitor on your desk and your keyboard connects to this "all-in-one" computer. (and actually the newest 2012 iMacs are not really that "thick" at all, and it does look pretty nice/thin/sleek).
The disadvantage to an "all-in-one" is that it's not easily upgradeable. You can't change out the graphics cards, or install new PCIe expansion cards (faster network cards, RAID adapter, etc.), can't add extra internal hard drives (i.e. 4 internal hard drives), etc.
The Mac Pro is a standalone computer. It requires an additional monitor/display. The advantage of having a Mac Pro is that it is upgradeable (you can get more powerful graphics cards in the future if you need better 3D rendering power) and it has far more memory slots, so it can be expandeable to I believe 128GB of RAM (whereas I believe the iMac might be 32GB of ram?)
iMac memory expansion here: http://www.apple.com/why-mac/compare/
Mac Pro Memory expansion here: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#1333-memory
Also the iMac is a much thinner device, and you can't separate the display from the CPU (they are an "all-in-one" device) so you can't upgrade or change the primary display, but you can add a second display).
With the Mac Pro, you can add additional graphics cards, and you can power up to twelve displays (if you wish). You also have a much more powerful processor on the Mac Pro (one quad-core, or up to two 6-Core Intel Xeon processors). So the Mac Pro a much more powerful machine.
The iMac is just a nice cute/thin desktop display (all-in-one), but with a quad-core processor it's still a fairly fast/decent machine.
If you are doing heavy 3D graphics rendering or gaming, or graphics design (3D CAD, etc.) then I would probably go with something more powerful like a Mac Pro, since you can get better graphics cards, and the Mac Pro will run much cooler (as you're trying to do massive rendering).
> Do you need an iMac to get a mac pro or does it come with a monitor?
No, you don't need an iMac for a Mac Pro (they are two separate and different computers), but yes you do need an external monitor display if you buy a Mac Pro.
Any 1920x1080p monitor/display with an HDMI input will be sufficient for using with a Mac Pro.

Quality difference between Windows and Mac

Well, that's the problem:
The same song, (Skull and Crossbones by Klaus Badelt), played under my Mac partition or under my Windows partition is sounding different.
I thought the speakers were broken, but it's not that. Under the Mac iTunes, it sounds horrible, it's distorted and compressed. Equalizer is set the same (Classical), the file is the same, same machine, same application (iTunes 7.6.2), everything is the same. Except the library size. Under Mac it's 13.4 GB, under Widnows only a 100 MB...
Any ideas?
Thanks

Neither version of iTunes will make jewel cases.

Difference between PC and Mac notebook displays

The 15" and 17" Macbook Pro have a screen resolution of 1440x900 and 1680x1050 respectively. However, when comparing to PC laptops, almost all 15" laptops have only a 1280x800 resolution and the 17" models sport a 1440x900 resolution. If you want 1680x1050 you have to get a desktop sized 20" laptop. Does this mean that Apple notebooks have higher quality displays than PC notebooks ? I've seen a 13" Macbook and the 1280x800 resolution is superb for that screen size. However, I haven't seen the 17" Macbook Pro yet. I have a 20" iMac at work which has the same resolution of the 17" Macbook Pro. I'm not sure, but I think that 1680x1050 might be a little too much for a 17" monitor...

hi, I've got an MBP C2D 17". it does indeed have exactly the same res as the apple 20" cinema display, which is part of the reason I went for the 17" as I'm used to this amount of desktop space. all it means is that the pixels are smaller, so you can of course fit exactly the same amount of stuff on the screen as on the 20" display, but everything is a little smaller. if you have trouble reading text on a 20", then you will probably be resizing stuff on the 17". for me it's fine, I'm finding it perfectly usable, text and detail are clear enough for me, but I have pretty good eyesight.
that said, I'm not 100% happy with the screen. I find it perfectly crisp, sharp and clean, but there is a problem with the backlighting being very uneven so I have brighter areas, especially along the lower part of the screen. search my posts for more details, I've written a lot about it.
I contacted apple today to see about how it would work if I decided I wanted a replacement of the whole machine or to have a replacement of the screen. not sure if I'll go for that yet as the machine is really working well in every other way. it just irks me that I've shelled out for the current apple flagship notebook and I've landed a display that is not as A grade as it should be.
btw, is that true about PC notebooks? a rabid PC fanatic I know has always gone on and on about how mac laptops are inferior because they never have high enough res on their screens. meanwhile, he gives himself migraines squinting at 1600x1200 that you can hardly read on what I think is a 17" dell of some sort.
personally I think the res on the 17" is just about right, you wouldn't want to try and go much higher than that because you'd really be struggling to read text. I just never expected a backlighting problem on a top of the range machine. I really hope it is just faulty because it would be not much fun to decide to get it replaced, go through all the downtime and reinstalling just to get another machine with similar or potentially worse problems..

What is the difference between avi and mov

Hi FCP users,
I am actually an audio guy, but I would like an answer on something.
I work with Logic, and usually use quicktime movies when I am working to movies. But I am working with a client who is an Avid user and swears by avi files. Can someone explain to me the difference. My client explained to me that avi's are better than mov files. He claims their file sizes are bigger, so therefore there quality is better. He said there is some form of compression on quicktime movies which lessen the quality to avi, even if the mov is uncompressed apparently the quality is still less than an uncompressed avi. If this is not true, could someone give me the real big difference between the two.
I thought is was more of a preference, like windows users prefer wav, and apple users like quicktime movies. Like with audio, there isnt a huge difference between aif and wav. Windows users prefer wav and apple users aif.
Thanks in advance for any information.

The vid guy has sent me some files to work with. So I am working in Final Cut to edit some of the video, and then sending it back to him. He is working on PC with Avid. What is the best. Should I convert the avi files he has sent to me to mov files. Then pull these into FCP, and then export it out as avi for him. Or should I export out as mov, and then he converts them to avi when he pulls it into Avid on his PC? Very confusing which is the best procedure between Mac and PC.
Thanks in advance for any help.
This is a disaster in the making. You can avoid being part of the train wreck by either renting an Avid, going to live at his house, or telling him to get a Macintosh.
You must find the lowest common denominator video format that will work on both of your systems. That could be conventional DV, dunno, never used Avid and never tried to edit anything on a PC. But I can tell you this with absolute certainty, it will be easier and, in the end, much less expensive for one of you to adopt the other's platform for the duration of this project. The time you waste transcoding, arguing, formatting your drives, buying secondary products, fitting round pegs into square holes, and trying to find a workable solution (that will keep changing as the project gets more complicated) will cost you much more in terms of money out of pocket and creative frustration than simply buying/renting another station.

Differences between CC for Mac and CC for Windows

Hello,
I just read here in the forum that possibilities regarding app-making in InDesign are limited when you are a Windows user. Seems like the "Create App"-possibility is for mac users only. Terry White made a very good video about app-making, but failed to mention that you needed not only CC (or CS6), but also a Mac.
Be that as it may, I would like to know if there is a list somewhere, describing in detail the differences between possibilities and options on CC for Windows compared to CC on a Mac.
And - if there is no list, can anyone tell me the differences?
Regards,
MikHva

Thanks for the answer. I can see that I messed up formulating the last entry - what we are about to do is upgrade from CS6 to CC.
Maybe you could help me with a related question. The last few days I have been searching for alternatives to builing my apps in InDesign, and I turned to Dreamweaver. I copied the CSS from InDesign to dreamweaver, fixed the content and made my app work through my 1 phonegap build-project (the InDesign version looked better, though) - but getting on fra Dreamweaver to Android and iOS involves Phonegap.
I can see that Adobe has developed the Adobe Phonegap Build. Is that a program (app) that I can acces after subscribing to the Creative Cloud? A friend of mine has the CC-version and I asked if she had acces to install Adobe Phonegap Build, but it was not on her list of programs to install.
- As things look right now we might be going for a Pro or Enterprise version - but I haven't figured out the difference between the two yet - I've been busy with Dreamweaver.
Sincerely and with thanks,
MikHva

Difference between .qt and .mov

Hi all
Please tell me what is the difference between .qt and .mov formats and when and where they are used. Also if there are any more formats related to Quick Time please brief or any links to any reference sections...
thanks

No difference except the file extension. The .mov extension should be used as .qt is very old and may not be understood by Web servers.

Difference between paste and add to movie

What's the difference between paste and add to movie?

So more than one track can exist in the same location. A very confusing (to me) editing process.
Yes, the MOV file con contain up to 99 tracks of data. For instance, if two or more video tracks coexist over the same time interval, they may be layered, masked and/or blended for various effects such as a framed movie, a movie-in-a-movie, movies with grapic logos, movies with watermarks, etc. In a similar manner, multiple audio tracks can be blended together. (E.g., a narration can be added over background music to a base move that already has its own audio track.)
Here is an a example of a "mulitple" track MOV file created from many a background/Xmas card foreground image and many scaled PNG photo images of family members:
