DivX to H.264 -- Any way to control for file size?

Hi there,
I'm converting DivX files that my digital camera uses to H.264 files. I'm using MPEG Streamclip to do this.
It's working fine, but results in much larger files. For example, a 23.4MB DivX AVI file converts to a 89.6MB H.264 MP4 file. A 91.4MB DivX AVI file converts to a 414.2MB H.264 MP4 file.
Is there any way to convert these using H.264 without sacrificing quality and without resulting in such large files? MP4 files work with Quicktime, iMovie and (under Leopard) the Finder much better than DivX files do. Any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

When you are playing a DixX file have a look at the bitrates - IIRC that is a mix of video (most of it) and audio codecs. Say it says 1000 kb/sec. If you open the file in (freebie) MPEG Streamclip and export to MPEG-4 selecting the iPod setting 320X240 you will get a 700 kb/sec video and 128 kb/sec audio so around 830 kb/sec. The file will be smaller.
If you pick the Apple TV export preset it is at about 1500 kb/sec so the result will be 50% bigger.
Depending on the source codec using a lot higher H264 bitrates may not make it look better anyway (you cannot create data) , so try the basic iPod setting - benefit - reasonably small - a 45 minute TV show for me is about 270MB yet looks good on a TV set via iPod, and you will have iPod compatibility as well.
Use MPEG Streamclip 1.9b3 version.

Exporting a book to pdf - any way to reduce the file size?

Hi,
So I have made a book using iPhoto and would like to send a pdf copy of it to another person who will fill in the texts. I am able to save the book as pdf via the print menu but the resulting file is over 300 mb in size (the book has only 20 pages)! On the one hand i like the fact that iPhoto is not downsampling my photos but it's a bit difficult trying to send a 300+ mb file over email Is there any way to create a pdf with the images compressed so i could send it as an attachment?

Any way to reduce class file size?

Somewhere during my travels on the net I remember seeing something about a utility that reduces the size of java class files, eg by optimizing. I think it is an IBM product. Anybody know about this?
I am writing a midlet that needs to be less than 70K in size (JAR file), but currently its at about 100K -- any suggestions on how to reduce the size of the class files?
Thx,
Fred

Yes, I think you are refering to JAX by IBM.
I have just started using it a couple of days ago. It reduced my 130k application to 70k good tool.
Here is the link :

Look for verion 6.1 that on if free. The new version is very expensive $1000 :(.
6.1 works well.

Is there any way to control the volume on my Apple TV?

Here's the scenario: I have a small amplifier under my couch that controls the speakers connected to my Apple TV. When I use Airplay from my iPhone to listen to music, I'm able to control the volume right from the music App on my phone- this is perfect because I don't like to reach under the couch to change the volume. However, there are two scenarios when I cannot seem to adjust the volume anywhere except on the amp. These are:
First: Using Airplay while playing a video from my MacBook Pro to the Apple TV. In this case, the volume slider in iTunes suddenly has a little lock icon on it and is unadjustable. Is there any way to unlock the volume?
Second: When using the Apple TV directly to play any media- music or movies. The volume up and down buttons on the Apple TV don't control the volume. I'm forced to reach under the couch to adjust the volume- which happens quite frequently. Is there any way to control the output volume of the Apple TV?
The lack of volume control has been super disappointing. I've been a (multiple) airport express user for years so kind of expected Airplay to work the same for video- with the ability to control the volume from whatever device was transmitting. Can anyone help me?

Andrew- this is how I would expect things to work. However, when I use airplay from my iPhone to say, play a youtube video, the volume on the phone is suddenly rendered useless and I'm forced to adjust the amplifier. When I just play audio from the phone, the volume works.
It's the same on my macbook pro. If I mirror the screen, my computer's volume affects the speakers volume. However, if I am in itunes and play a movie and use airplay for that, I get a lock on the volume. Is this a setting somewhere?

Non-Apple Keyboard: any way to control system audio volume?

I have a non-Apple Keyboard on my new Mini Lion 7.2.1
Is there any way to control system audio volume via the keyboard ?

Well. I can do this. But just because, on my Apple keyboard, there are the keys that do the job. There's a key to mute, and the keys to adjust low and high the sound. But keyboard shortcuts, I don't think exist. The aren't in keyboard shortcut in Keyboard panel, within System Preferences. The bottom line is that isn't a menu item in Finder for lower sound and higher sound. The only option would be an AppleScript that you save as an applet within Scripts menu (activated in Finder via Script Editor) and you invoke with a shortcut... Well, you can do it, if you open the script Set Output Volume in UI Elements Script folder within Scripts folder. Try it out!

Is there any way to control automator through voice commands?

is there any way to control automator through voice commands?
Im simply trying to program my macbook pro early 2011 8gigs ram to resound to voice commands using automator but I haven't found any discuss on the subject.

I have some AppleScript that expects a Pages (v5.2.2) document opened. It will then then speak the document name, and the count of words in the document. Or, I can trigger Speakable items and tell it to, "Switch to Pages" which it does immediately, because this is part of its repertoire of built-in commands. Then speak Word Count?
In Automator, I created an Application, in which I dragged/dropped the Library > Utilities > Run AppleScript action into the workflow window. I replaced the AppleScript boilerplate with my existing AppleScript code that speaks the word count, and saved the Application into <login dir>/Library/Speech/Speakable Items folder as Word Count? (without the .app extension). It can also be saved in the Application Speakable Items > Pages sub-folder under the general Speakable Items folder.
Next, I turned on Speakable Items in System Preferences > Accessibility > Speakable Items.
It took several tries to get a spoken result from the Automator application, but it did work. Even with a calibrated microphone, and speaking about 18 inches from it. About 2 successes for ten tries. If I just put the AppleScript (without extension) in the same folder, my success rate would improve to 5/10. You may grow very weary of the repetition necessary to get Speakable Items to work. A small pink text banner also appears with the spoken content in it — below the Speakable Items monitor on the screen.
Automator is scriptable. This means that in AppleScript, you can dynamically build an Automator workflow, and then execute it.

PLW-07203, any way to control the PLSQL_WARNINGS values specified by Raptor

While debugging some packaged code and compiling the specification through Raptor, I got the PLW_07203 warning, which was deemed to be an error and therefore prevented me from compiling the code successfully in Raptor.
First, is it correct for Raptor to consider these types of compilation warnings to be errors?
Second, since Raptor sets the PLSQL_WARNINGS parameter for the session, is there any way to control that parameter setting? For now, it seems to always specify it by executing ALTER SESSION SET PLSQL_WARNINGS = 'ENABLE:ALL'.
Third, is it possible for Raptor to tell that I've loaded the source for a package specification or body from the data dictionary and have made no changes to it before I ask it to be compiled? Now, it seems that Raptor always is recompiling the package code by using the CREATE OR REPLACE construct, so it will overwrite any existing PLSQL object settings that may have been defined for the code previously. If you could detect that I'm simply asking you to recompile the source (primarily to simply get it compiled with debug information), then you could use the ALTER PACKAGE syntax for the recompilation. That with the ability to specify whether or not the REUSE SETTINGS clause would allow people to compile packages without getting into problems from Raptor changing the PLSQL_WARNINGS session parameter.

1) It's already bugged.
2) This is planned for production
3) There's a right click compile from dictionary which just does an alter ... compile. The new drop coming this week will change how browsing code works so that there's a read-only copy with an edit button to launch the editor.

Is there any way to control or change the email notification format deliver

Hi,
Is there any way to control or change the email notification format delivered by iBots? I have created an iBot to deliver the scorecard report to the team with type chosen as 'Attachment (HTML)' option. With this definition of iBot - notification being sent in MIME HTML (.mht) format. Due to some security settings at my email client - the attachement gets quratined because of .mht format. So, I am looking for an option to send the notification only in HTML (.htm) format with which I don't have any issues with my email client?
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Vency

Any way to control money input?

Is there any way to control money input, I mean for example
If someone inputs 12.52356 dollars I have to control it until the user inputs 2 digits after the decimal dot.

BTW using floating point numbers to represent money is not very accurate. You would be better to use whole numbers and then only convert to floating point when you want to display it. So for 12.87 you would actually use 1287 instead. Check out the following.
double dollars = 12.87;
double change = dollars - 4 * .45;
System.out.println(change);
int money = 1287;
int remainder = money - 4 * 45;
System.out.println(remainder / 100.00);Output:
11.0699999 - inaccurate
11.07 - accurate

Is there any way to create a file compatible with Premiere Pro

Is there any way to create a file in Premiere elements that is compatible with Premiere Pro and that can be used in Premiere Pro

Consternation
The important information that I do not see mentioned nor offered by you.
1.What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system it is running? What version of Premiere Pro do you want to use?
The Premiere Pro Import Supported Formats seem to indicate that it will accept the Premiere Elements project.prel (project file) on Windows Only.
Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Supported file formats
This may or may not be possible depending on damaged projects or outdated elements.
2. If you want to export your Premiere Elements Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive and subsequently import that into your Premiere Pro version, that "should" work. You would go to the Premiere Elements Publish+Share/Computer/ and make a selection based on what the Premiere Pro Import Supported file formats are and what you need. I can help you with that. But, details first.
But, just a "beware"...when you get to Premiere Elements 11 or 12 (if that is the version involved) Publish+Share/Computer/ there are several categories, but all you see is Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The rest of the list that includes AVI and QuickTime which both need to be scrolled to all of the time to see them, not just sometimes, with the thin scroll bar to the right of the list of choices. You can export files
with AVI file extension, under Publish+Share/Computer/AVI
with MOV file extension, under Publish + Share/Computer/QuickTime
And, if you do not have QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements, you are not going to have presets for the QuickTime export.
Remember, there is more to an export than just its file extension. Know your other export properties as well.
In many cases, you can customize the export settings to suit your requirements.
Problems will exist if you are trying to go from Premiere Elements Windows to Premiere Pro Mac or vice versa.
I would be glad for the opportunity to help you with this issue, but details are needed.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

Is there any way to change the font size of the text in the Finder Sidebar?

This may sound like a bit of a dorky question but here goes nothing...
I am rather near-sighted and in need of new glasses but I am stuck in a holding pattern until I can get a referral to see my eye doctor. Anyway... I have found myself using the Zoom features far more often and increasing the font size in the Finder for the Item Names & Info.
The problem that I am facing now, is that the font size of the text in the sidebar is FAR SMALLER than the font size of the text of the actual file names & info.
+*IS THERE ANY WAY TO INCREASE THE FONT SIZE OF THE TEXT IN THE SIDEBAR??*+
So far I have looked in:
*The Finder Preferences
*The Desktop Preference Pane
*The Appearance Preference Pane
*The Seeing Tab of the Universal Access Preference Pane
And to add to my frustration I have also searched the Mac OS X Help AND all of the posts in this thread (back to 1/1/09) that had the word "sidebar" mentioned in them!!
+*DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS?? OR IS THIS ONE AREA THAT I AM OUT OF LUCK BECAUSE APPLE DIDN'T FORESEE THIS ISSUE??*+
Usually, Apple is really very good about foreseeing any possible trouble (ESPECIALLY when it comes to the area of Accessibility for people w/ disabilities!!)
I do hope that SOMEBODY can help me on this one!!
Also, I noticed that the size of the text that is on the Toolbar is also the same ITSY BITSY font size as the text on the sidebar, but I am guessing that there is next to nothing that can be done about that!!
Thanks a Million!!

Is there any way to increase the font size in the Creative Cloud. Using a Lenovo Yoga 2 with 14" screen and care barely see the menus.

In short, no. There is no fix yet. They only barely acknowledge there is a problem. The "fix" is to enable 200% UI scaling which makes everything comically huge and unusable. This is pretty much of a joke. A really, really EXPENSIVE joke.

Is there any way to get the files from other computer ?

Hai all,
I have 2 computers connected. I know the IP address of other computer. Is there any way to get the files from other computer. (for e.g. I want to get the files from specific folder. In Java netwroking is it possible? (Any programs)

Bro Take it easy.
Think you need to send a Image file named ("abc.gif")
now develop a server using ServerSocket and connect it in local IP and any PORT
For example i think ur server is connected in "localhost" and 9000 port.
Now make ur server educated using some commands.
For example:
FileName: <File Name String>
[Means new file is sending by connected client]
FileSize: <File size long or int value>
[ So that ur server can determind about the total length of sender file]
DataModeOpen
[Now your client will send its image data, this command means your client software is sending data]
fjadlkfjaofaijojfwoeiurfodkjflsajlfksa
l23j4lj23lkjlasjfoq23j4rokjelfkjasldkf
2o3j4lk2j3ljslakdjf2l3j4 l23kjlk23k4j
DataModeClose
[Means file sending finished]
Close
[Means your client connection is closed]
Now develop a client supporting this command.
For example(Server):
String getFileName=null;
long getFileSize=0;
public handleCommand(String getCmd) {
    if(getCmd.startsWith("FileName")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileName=   splitData[1];
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("FileSize")) {
            String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
            this.getFileSize=Long.parseLong(splitData[1]);
            outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeOpen")) {
           //data mode open so receive data
          receiveData();
          outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
    } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeClose")) {
          //close client socket
         getClientSocket.close();
}For client:
DataInputStream dataIn=null;
BufferedOutputStream bout=null;
public sendFile(bytes[] getBytes) {
        //if ok found then do other or show error message
    if(sendCmd("FileName:"+getFileName)) {
        if(sendCmd("FileSize:"+getFileSize)) {
            if(sendCmd("DataModeOpen")) {
               bout.write(getBytes);
            } else {
               showError(3);
        } else {
               showError(2);
   } else {
        showError(1);
}i think it will help u
