Differences between Download vs Retail Box

I took the plunge and bought the download version yesterday. The Adobe Store says the CS4 Production Premium download was 19GB on the order page but after purchase, the size of the various files amounts to roughly 8GB. So my question is what does the retail box offer other than install discs and manuals that download doesnt? I know for CS3 we got a video workshop disc compromised of Lynda tutorials but Adobe has not provided an updated site with CS4 videos similar to what was offered in CS3.
Anyone have any idea?

No, not the same. The Workshop was an Adobe hosted video portal for the various tutorials for CS3 Products that shipped as a disc as well. It doesnt make any sense why the store says its a 19GB download and what is actually downloaded is only 8GB. There must be some missing content somewhere.

  • 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 inadvance

    Hi 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    DOWNLOAD function module is obsolete now and DOWNLOAD as well as WS_DOWNLOAD should be replaced by GUI_DOWNLOAD function module.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.

  • Differences between Educational and Retail versions

    Question:
    What are the Differences between the Educational and Retail Versions
    of Photoshop?
    Answer:
    1). There is NO limitation on use of the Educational Version, only on
    aquisition of it in that you must meet the educational requirements to
    qualify for purchase.
    2. There is NO functional difference between the Educational and
    Commercial versions,
    3), The Educational version will always show the Academic splash
    screen even if you later use it to upgrade to a full Commercial
    version.
    4). Educational versions of Adobe software do not always ship with the
    'free goodies' such as fonts and clip-art that the full commercial
    versions include.
    Waes Haeil!

    The slide on plug for the MagSafe adapter is different. Depending on where your going to use it you will need the correct plug adapter for it.

  • 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.

  • Is there a difference between the Apple store (box   disc) version of iWork and the App store version?

    Is there a difference between the iWork that can be purchased through the Apple Store and the AppStore version? There is a price difference between the two sets, and I was curious is there is a substantial difference.

    The boxed versions are installed at the same time and have shared auxiliary files. When you buy them through the Mac App Store they are installed individually and the auxiliary files that they could share are installed individually, so there is duplication and they take up a bit more room.
    And as Kappy says, you cannot update them through the MAS, the boxed set must be updated through Software Update.

    thanks in advance for any help provided

    Hi,
    Bulk:
    Warehouse without shelves where similar pallets or containers are stacked.
    The storage bins in bulk storage are separated by lines on the floor. Each bin can store only one material, for example, cases of 1 liter bottles of orange juice.
    The SAP System provides a strategy for bulk storage.
    Open:
    Type of warehouse organization in which only one storage bin is defined for each storage section.
    The quants in the bin conform to mixed storage.

  • Difference between Combo Box and Dropdown List

    Hi All,
    I would like to know the difference between the elements 'Combo box' and 'Dropdown List' in VC. I am facing an issue where i am invoking an entry list and the output of the first element the entry list returns is getting reflected as the output for all the elements...
    So even if 2nd and 3rd row of the o/p from the entry list is giving only 2 items, if the 1st row returns only 1 then we are able to see only 1 item. Its as if the 1st row decides the items to be returned for all the rows.
    Please help.

    Hi Hezi,
    I have 2 columns in my table. First column is 'material number' and the 2nd one is 'production version'. There can 1,2 or 3 production version for each material. [This information is stored in the backend] This is retrieved through a method which invokes a bapi which in turn retrieves from the backend.
    I have provided a dropdown list for the 'production version' column. Lets say there are 2 rows. Material 1 and material 2. Lets say material 1 has 1 production version and material 2 has 2 production version. So rightfully speaking i should have 1 option in the dropdown for material 1 and 2 for material 2.
    But what i seeing is only 1 option for both the materials. This is wrong.
    Is there something that can be done to ensure that each row reflects the correct no. of options in the dropdown?

  • Maps: Difference in Downloading Country and states...

    Can someone please tell me what is the difference between downloading whole map of a country and again downloading map of state in it.
    I have downloaded map of India and it is marked as downloaded buy when I click add new map » India » List of all.states, they are not marked.
    So downloading states maps shows more detailed map?
    Thank you.

    -----------------------------Appreciate by clicking on white star.----------------------------
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There is no difference in the details of the Map data. Its only to facilitate faster downloading and using lesser space if you are planning to use navigation within a smaller area (State) as against a much larger (Country). You may notice that adding up the file sizes for all States is much much bigger than the file size of whole Country as one. This is because many areas are overlapped when you select States individually ...

  • I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

    I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

    Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
    I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
    Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
    When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
    In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
    I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
    Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
    Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
    Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
    Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
    On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
    Good luck!

  • Oracle 10g difference: downloaded vs retail

    Hi,
    Does any one know what is the difference between the downloadable "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) Enterprise/Standard Edition for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)" application from the Oracle site against the one that is retailed?
    Thanks

    Sigh......................................
    If you download the product it comes with a document called license. Didn't you read that?
    Oh I forgot, you are only paid to hit buttons.
    If you download the product you can always get a license afterwards, by contacting your friendly salesrep at Oracle.
    Oracle has all information on this available on their site. Oracle is not about rocket science, but about not being lazy.
    Right now questions here are mostly asked by people, who like you, absolutely don't read anything, and ask one redundant question after another.
    And yes, the difference is zero, nada, niente, nothing, niks, nichts, nullus.

  • Difference Between "Leopard Drop-In" and "Full Retail" disks?

    Hello there. I've been running OS X 10.4.11 on my MBP for two years, and I'm interested in upgrading to Leopard. I can't find it in any stores, so that leaves eBay, I guess.
    I am wondering what the difference is between the Leopard "Drop-In" install disks and the box that is described as the "Full Retail" version. My guess is that the Drop-In will upgrade Tiger to Leopard 10.5 while keeping all of the same programs, i.e. no updates to anything like iWork or iPhoto, etc; and that the "Full Retail" means Leopard 10.5 plus all the new versions of the programs.
    With these disks, would I need to wipe my HD for the install? Would I need to create a backup on my external HD?
    Should I wait a little longer until Snow Leopard becomes a little more stable? Is the "Mac Box Set" with Snow Leopard that is available right now the same (except w/Leopard) as the Leopard Full Retail box?
    Thank you!
    C

    Hi CBA713,
    Before you consider upgrading, have you confirmed that all of your software will run on Snow Leopard? The OS is relatively new, only about a month. Based on the programs you were running in Tiger (which probably are compatible) they may not run in OS X 10.6
    Considering the cost of going to Snow Leopard from Tiger ($169) it might make more sense to try and grab a copy of the Leopard box set (you'll still get iLife & iWork '09) and then upgrade to Snow Leopard at a later time for the $29. Especially if there's some concern over application compatibility.
    You can backup your hard drive via a cloning software, there are two free ones that are pretty popular among the discussions.

  • What is the difference between SWF and F4V in the context of Streaming or progressive Download?

    Hello everybody,
    I am absolutely a beginner in working with Captivate and furthermore my technological know how is not that good.
    So, I have problems to understand if the export formats SWF and F4V are both capable to be published in the Internet as streaming video and as progressive Download? Well so, I do not really understand the difference between streaming and progessive download either?
    Furthermore I was asking myself if this issue depends on how I imported flash videos (there are these two options) in my Captivate project during the production phase?
    I would be very thankful for some helping information!
    Greetings,
    Mareike the beginner

    Welcome to our community
    I'm not certain I fully understand the differences myself, but will toss out what I believe to be true about the formats. Hopefully, if I'm incorrect in my bellief, someone with more definitive knowledge will chime in.
    It was explained to me a couple of years back and is my understanding that "streaming" only applies to a video based format such as F4V, FLV and it doesn't apply to SWF. With SWF, you may specify a preload value. So when the SWF transmits from the web server to the PC, a certain percentage has to be received before play begins. But that's not streaming. It's preloading.
    For streaming to occur, the web server establishes a communication channel between the server and the destination PC. This channel is monitored to see what speed is in use. Only enough information is then transmitted to be comfortable at that speed. If the speed improves during the connection, the server serves data at a faster rate. If the connection degrades, the information transmitted is also scaled back so as to accommodate the lower speed.
    With SWF, after it has all been downloaded, a savvy user is able to poke around in their temporary internet files and save the SWF for play later. With streaming, this isn't possible because as the stream is viewed, it evaporates from memory.
    Seriously hoping others will chime in here to confirm or deny this.
    Cheers... Rick

  • In the shared variable properties box, when enabling aliasing, what is the difference between binding to a project variable vs. to a psp url

    In the shared variable properties box, specifically with regard to a the target being an rt target, when enabling aliasing, what is the difference between binding to a project variable vs. to a psp url?

    The difference is in the type of variable you are binding it to.  A project variable is a variable that lives within the specific project in which it was created.  A PSP URL is an address using the Publish-Subscribe Protocol (PSP).  You can learn more about PSP URLs here: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01/lvconcepts/using_datasocket_technology/#Specifyin...
    PSP URLs will enable it to communicate between different machines and also between projects which may or may not be open.  The project variable will exist within the project.
