Do they support V

Do they support VBR (Variable Bit Rates) such as
"Rather than ripping music in 28 or 92 KB/s, which some people feel does not offer true CD quality, or ripping at 320 KB/s, which is huge, ripping in VBR, or Variable Bitrate, offers the best combination of quality and size. Of the different ways to rip in VBR, --aps is the best. On average, a CD in --aps is a little bigger than a CD in 28 KB/s, but has quality comparable to a much higher bitrate."
Where the bit rate is constantly changing during the song? like split second it'll be 28 and the next it'll be 320 then 92 or 256? You know what I'm sayin?

My Zen Xtra supports it... although for some reason for any VBR track, the screen never displays the correct track time.

  • I have some B/W video cameras(analog) are they supported by Labview

    i have some B/W video cameras that I wanted to use with LabView but they are not in the list of supported cameras under LabView, but they are still very new and they work great and they are small and light weight which are two important things that I need. Can I still use these? Or should I look into buying some new ones? The website for these cameras is www.x10.com, model number SC21A, thanks.

    Hi magnusrules,
    The National Instruments Framegrabbers can adquire video formats like RS-170 or CCIR, it depends on the model of the framegrabber. Here is information about the analog video signals:
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/0c19487aa97d229c8625685e00803830
    I saw the datasheet, but I did not find the type of signal. It says RCA, so maybe this can be of some help:
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/A247A92A91FDEFAE86256BA50051F28B?OpenDocument
    http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/es/nid/11356
    Since the camera has a RCA connector, and it's BW, it could be RS-170, but we need to confirm it with the manufacturer.

    Oh sorry I forgot to mention this. That was obvious for me :(
    Yes, the interface shall be in the card before the calling applet and defined in the "server" package. There is a direct dependency at link time (= when you load the cap file).
    The "server" applet is classical, and just implements the interface. .java files produces .class files and conversion produces a .cap and a .exp for the package.
    Then, to build the "client" applet, you compile using the server's classes, and convert using the EXP from the server.
    The server cap must be loaded and instanciated before the client cap.
    Regards
    PS: you can instruct the converter to produce JCA files, which are disassembled CAP files. They contain important information about these packages dependencies in human readable format.

  • I am having issues with tech support for King Games!   Why can't they support their game?

    I have been having issues with Bubble Witch saga for over a week! Mather continue to give me the run around.  Finally today, they have admitted that they are too busy with their other games to offer support!  They ask me to continue to be patient ! Lol. Please, see below.     What is one to do when these app companies are not able to support their apps?  Does Apple think this is good?
    Thanks!
    Dear Robin,
    Thank you for contacting us.
    Please, you have to understand that there are a lot of games provided by King and therefor we have different support teams for the 'bigger' games. Therefor we don't have the information or tools to help you with your enquiries with Bubble Witch Saga.
    I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
    Kind regards,
    Gustaf
    King customer support.

    Thanks!  I just think that Apple would have concern with App companies  who are being offered through Apple!  This may seem as though it isn't Apples issue but, in truth it is, to the extent that it looks bad on Apple. Apple, should expect companies that use their App Store to provide support for their product or not allow these companies to have apps in the Apple store!  Believe it or not..... This is a reflection!  
    But, don't worry, I am trying to get them to support the game.  At the very least my review will not be good and eventually I will stop playing as others have done!!!

  • I am trying to access my FAFSA application, and it said I needed to download a browser they supported so I chose Mozilla, but I still cannot access it.

    I am still getting same error message to download a browser theysupport

    I notice you posted from a Galaxy Tab...
    Is the problem with Firefox for Android? FAFSA might not be supporting mobile browsers yet. In other words, when they say Firefox, I suspect they mean Firefox for desktop computers. Do they mention any mobile options?
    If the problem is Firefox on a desktop computer, could you provide more information about the Firefox version and operating system?

  • QSFP+ ports, do they support regular SFPs ?

    Hi all,
    I have a question regarding QSFP+ ports on Nexus 5672UP and 3000 series. Can you plug in a normal 10GE LR SFP in the QSFP+ ports ?
    (so the port converts to a regular 10GE port, not 40GE) ?
    I am looking in particular to connect a QSFP+ switch with 10GE long-range fiber (other ports are all RJ45, ie C3172TQ) ?
    I know there is a 4x 10GE breakout cable, but this is SR, i need LR...
    regards,
    GN

    Hi GN, 
    there is actually a module that can be used within the QSFP ports to convert QSFP+ to SFP+ or GLC.
    Have a look.

  • Applications that came with Epson printer on Win XP respond "Can't open... PowerPC apps no longer supported.  Were they in Snow Leopard before I upgraded?

    Epson pinter came with photo apps that ran under Windows XP. Loaded onto iMac 27", they don't respond with "Not compatable with Mac" but rather with "You can't open the application ..... whichever one ..... because PowerPC applications are no longer supported".  Were they supported under Snow Leopard OS before I upgraded to Lion?  Why "NO LONGER" SUPPORTED?

      Were they supported under Snow Leopard OS before I upgraded to Lion? 
    Yes, using something called Rosetta.
    Why "NO LONGER" SUPPORTED?
    OS X 10.7 does not support Power PC applications.  I do not speak for Apple, but it appears they determined that since most applications are written Universal Binary, there was no reason to incur the expense of maintenance in the new OS X. 
    Many manufacturers have provided updates for older equipment (some have not).  I suggest you either run software update andor check with Epson.

  • Canon stopped supporting Canoscan 9950F on Apple, but still on Windows 8.  What can I do to fix this?

    Upon upgrading to the latest Apple release, my Canon Canoscan 9950F no longer works.  After dialoging with the Canon representatives, the offered me a "discounted price" on new hardware.  They support Windows 8, but decided not to support Mountain Lion.  What can I do?  I have a $400 dollar paper-weight that I don't want to send to the landfill.
    "Thank you for contacting Canon product support.  Due to the age of the scanner, Canon has decided not to support the CanoScan 9950F on 10.8.  For customers in this situation, Canon offers the Canon Loyalty Program.  This is for out of warranty units which have been diagnosed to require service, or for some reason are incompatible with a new or upgraded system.  This option allows you a one-time opportunity to purchase a replacement product, discounted from the list price."
    Note - if I have to replace this, what is the best scanner to use for film and negatives?

    Since you purchased Lion at some point, I wonder if the most cost effective move would be to spend under $100 for a new USB3 external drive, and install Lion and your 9950F scanner drivers there. Boot external when you want to scan. Drive visible to Mountain Lion desktop for shared files. The USB3 drive is backwards compatible with USB2. Western Digital has some portable Mac drives here. The 1TB is $99 at Best Buy in the U.S.
    If you still have a machine running Lion, you can boot into Recovery and have it install onto the new USB3 external drive. Otherwise, it is another Lion download. Do not run the installer. Then you let Lion Diskmaker build you an external, bootable USB Lion installer stick.

  • Does Adobe have a tech support contact for Flash on browsers?

    I am looking how to escalate to Adobe Tech Support but paying 29 bux an hour for some recruited college Grad that knows to little doesnt suit me.
    Bought an HP Quad and it had Win7 home so poorly installed, configured, overloaded with junk, would not backup, when it did backup and create a repair disk they wouldnt restore.  HP's preloaded Win7 build both IE8 and Firefox were crashing with both BSOD and Browsers not responding and dying. Firefox never responds to anything, Microsoft indicates is an add on problem but I think it can be a flash issue although it occurs much more on Wiin7 (ANY Version) for 32 or 64 bit.  I have been screwing with this for a month screaming at Microsoft and Mozilla but its a waste of time.  
    Microsoft forums are polluted for Win7 browser BSOD and Browser halting then crashing posts, there answer is disable add-ons.  I cant surf the net without add ons so that is a stupid reponse of finger pointing, giving appearance that Msoft, Adobe and Mozilla dont communicate.  No company will take ownership and drive the issue to find the root cause and where ever that cause is make them fix it, Msfot, Adobe of Firefox.   so what do ya do?
        The HP PC with horrible preload of win7 finally died and killed the build but Microsoft was equally useless in helping me repair that preloaded junk even though the OS is theres.    I BOUGHT real disks because HP couldnt support the mess - HP couldnt support chewing food let alone the mess they place on PC's with 90% asian parts with old drivers.   Eleven escaltions starting on DAY 1 of ownership of a Pavilion.  Hundreds of crash dump error reports sent to Firefox has still gone unresponsed, as they employ the 5th ammendment ,method of silence without support and Msoft remove all add on is laughable but proves HP. Firefox and MicroSoft wont assume responsibilty.  
    This sucks as all three gloat and boast about a HIGH levels of support and awards won for support but it is all myth, and laughably a lie but I still want it repaired.   28 years in IT - retired I feel qualififed to make the observation.
    I never attempted to contact Adobe but I get redirected after seeing the warning about 39 bucks an hour to answer a phone for a freeware add-on.
    Does anyone know of have a escalation path to a real person at adobe or department beause tthis site redirects from the ASK Adobe Support link meaning I cant even mail a question to then,  Already a BAD sign but the driver is free, but they wrote, and millions are having issue so where is there support -  Why bother writing  the addon if people cant even ask a question.
    So does any know if they support the flash add-on without charging?     a Glitch they might want to know about is flash 10.0.0.1 shows in Win7 Event logs as version 0.0.0.1 and I have logs showing that an addon report from the DEP (Data Execution Service) saw an add-on go to a non executalbe memory region whenthe only add-on I have is flash.
    Google for IE8 Browser Crash 566,500, Win7 Browser crash 1,500,000,  Firefox crashing 587,000, Firefox flash crash 1,420,000, Adobe flash crash 1,820,000,   are 4,615,500 google posts found for one issue and I know there are more than that failing but Im sick of the whole thing so adobe is my last gasp.   Please respond if you have a fix or path to escalate to adobe.
    Thanks.
    What a mess that no company so far stands up willing to take ownership of this just to find the root cause.

    I don't have a definitive answer, but I would guess you won't find a tech support service dedicated to the Flash Player since it is free software and customers apparently have problems getting tech support for the products they buy.  But here are a couple of things worth considering.

  • Persistent Wi-Fi connection problem: How to get support?

    I bought my iPad few days ago in Hawaii and returned home yesterday to Germany. I had connected Wi-Fi a few times at my B&B in Hawaii and it seemed to work. But now Wi-Fi connection with my iPad is a mess while connections with iPhone, MacBook Pro, PC at the same locations work very good.
    I tried several solutions including those recommended by http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3304. Additionally I tried to manually assign IP to my iPad.
    On different locations (i.e. airport, at home) the Wi-Fi connection indicator fluctuates and connection speed seems to drop down. Just right now connection is lost approx. every 5 - 15 minutes. Switching Wi-Fi off and reconnecting sometimes helps but sometimes I have to wait some 5 or 15 minutes until Wi-Fi works again. Sometimes I even have to reset all connection data. When Macbook, iPhone or Windows PC show me 10 available Wi-Fi networks the iPad may only list 2 or 3.
    Yes, I tried to contact Apple Support:
    "If after attempting the troubleshooting tips provided above you are still having difficulty connecting to a network please contact Apple."
    I called your support phone number 1-800-275-2273 several times from Germany but each time the system tried to connect me to an iPad advisor the call didn't go through.
    Several tries to open a case via http://www.apple.com/support/expert/ failed. After filling out the form the website just tells me: "We're sorry, but we are unable to complete your request at this time. Please try again in a few minutes or start over now." Next try same result.
    You link to worldwide support telephone numbers:
    http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
    http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html
    I called the given German technical support number but Apple Support denied support and instructed me to reset the iPad to it's original state. Resetting the iPad did not resolve the problem.
    German Support told me she has no information ("no email received") about http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3304. She told me Apple Support in Germany will not give any else support prior to official start of iPad availability in Germany. But when German Apple Support is not even aware of that problem Apple posted on the support site how would they support me?
    How do I get support to resolve that issue?

    I configured my router to only use 802.11b and 802.11g and NOT 802.11n. It seems like my iPad keeps steady connection with two or three bars and recovers good from sleep mode since about half an hour sigh But I would like to use it also at hotspots... and would like to enjoy appropriate speed when transfering files or watching videos

  • I tried MSI. K9A2 Platinum Support issues.

    Do not buy MSI.... Buyer beware.
    I have the MSI K9A2 Platinum motherboard. Now the board runs fine. However I find it very hard to take this company seriously anymore.
    6 months ago I tried Flashing the Bios for a CPU upgrade I wanted. MSI's website boasts its mother boards that have 64 bit capabilities. However if you use a 64bit OS. Namely Windows XP or Windows Vista. You are in big trouble. The Live updater doesn't work with it. Not at all. Install it and it gives you errors that it will not launch.
    Now any one that has flashed a bios before will say. "Okay I will do it manually." (Or if you don't know what your doing don't touch the Bios) So you download the Image file you need. Launch your boot disk from the A: Drive and well you can't access the Image file you have placed on your C: drive because hey it doesn't recognize Sata. So pray you have an old IDE laying around or you will have to load it to a cd.  Oh but, hey again you have sata still doesn't see it. So usually you load it onto the disk. No big deal right? Well now on their readme it warns against Flashing from a floppy or CD (If you don't understand what I meant I am saying they warn against having the flash file on the boot disk Floppy or CD). So because of this I called MSI and had them walk me through the process because I wanted to be sure I am doing this right. I have done it many times before but for some reason it's a fricking process now. So we made a CD booted and ran it like you would off the A: drive everything went smoothly and then it froze. at 60% into the flash it froze so the guy tells me just reboot. I warn him that if I reboot the Motherboard is junk. He insists it should be fine. I reboot and as expected nothing happens because it was a bad flash.
    So they say just send it back they give me an RMA number I remove the board package it and take pictures of its condition. I say again I took pictures. (The reason I did this is if you look at the reviews of this board on Tiger Direct there is complaints of them getting the board and claiming it is damaged. They email you a picture and claim it something you did. they then send it back to you.)
    So I send it out. Wouldn't you guess they say it's Damaged they send me some nice pics in an email. So I send my pics of the board in the condition I sent it. There is no damage on the board they can see. They now claim it's the shippers fault. Shipper insists package arrived in great condition. MSI still refuses to help even though they know I sent them the board in great condition.So MSI is very poor in taking care of it's customers through RMA
    So I send it back to Cyberpower. I explain to them what happened and they replaced the board free of charge and flashed it to current specs at the time. Bios Version 1.4. Now I work with computers. Part of my work is seeing the ease of how user friendly things are like Bios updates. How new processors perform. So now I was stuck in a dilemma 6 months after the first Now I need Bios version 1.6 installed. Well this time I took it to geek squad. They said it shouldn't take long and I waited in the store 3 hours and watched this person pull their hair out. All the normal ways of flashing the Bios don't work yet again. He goes to use the Live Updater and again 64 bit systems not supported. So he is baffled because why would a company that supports a 64 bit Processor not support the OS. Good question. Now I see more of the geek squad coming over all them ask it's not MSI is it. They get their answer and sigh. Now what they thought was a 15 minute procedure turns into me having to leave the system for a night.
    The next day It is completed. What did they have to do? They installed a IDE drive booted from a floppy and loaded off the drive with the Flash file. Having to take the PC apart taking out Cd roms and running the ide via my CD rom IDE. Now I know a lot of you are going to say they didn't know what they where doing and I am telling you They did everything I did which is what MSI walked me through and hit the same road blocks. during the Reboot one of the guys wanted to try MSI live updater 3 and some how it worked..
    So I called MSI today and asked them if they now support 64 bit OS with their instant updater. The answer was no. They stated they still do not support that. I checked my  Bios version and some how it did worked. Who knows maybe they did it when they had all the other stuff out and apart and I just didn't notice. But MSI is Claiming the contrary. So I am happy that I have the update. However knowing that I am going to need to update again I now have come to the conclusion that MSI is not a user friendly board in fact it took 4 people at geek squad some of whom I know and see do flashes all the time and they had trouble. I do flashes all the time and I have trouble.
    The bottom line here is MSI needs to hop on board with what they offer. Everyone is going to the 64 bit OS mainly because of RAM. They want to run Crysis, Farcry 2, Mass effect, and have the fastest processors available. They want the best video cards Available. But if your manufacturer Builds 64 bit based motherboards that are suppose to support the AM2 Platform then you would think that they would at least have an updater capapable of working with those systems. Now it's not impossible to make something like this work, Nor is it hard. There are other manufacturers who do have easier ways to flash than MSI.
    Playstation 3 does firmware update all the time over the net. What is a firmware update? to put it simply it is a Bios flash to update how the machine works with newer software or to take advantage of existing technoligy in the PS3. Which is put simply just a computer. If a company that makes these systems can't even get a live updater to work or does not have the ability to walk you over how to do the flash the flash over the phone correctly why waste your time and money with a lazy company. I have an Asus machine that flashes.
    Take this however you want. It could be taken as venting or a warning. Hopefully the MSI forum admin will forward these concerns to MSI before he bans me. 

    I am not here to argue but, the fact that you as an administrator can sit here and say there is no money in 64 bit obviously are speaking from a point of view of Bias.
    Walk into any Bestbuy, call any Dell call center,  Call CyberpowerPC.com, or call Microsoft. These are the systems that are in demand.
    Best buy states that there 64 Bit OS based computers are flying off the shelves. and that 90 percent of the computers they now carry are 64 bit installed with Vista.  In approxomatly 11 months windows will only be making Vista and the New windows 7 in 64 bit. It doesn't matter what you think it does. It matters what the market is demanding. There is tons of money in this and if MSI doesn't get on board soon they are gonna lose to competitors that do.
    Where would we be if we stuck with 8 bit? What would have happended to the gaming industry if Sega never came out with their 16 bit platform?
    Mention MSI to any geek squad guy and they just laugh and say go Asus. Sure you may not value their opinion. But the public who take it to them cause they don't understand computers does.They even say They(Geek squad) are easier to maintain with processor updates with some one who has experience that means something too. Sure I know to use the Utilities now because of these forums which I am thankful for. However: I represent those who are not capable and computer literate and the idea here that we should let them fend for themselves is preposterous.
    Plus the fact that you don't use 32 bit software does not speak for those of us that do. There is 64 bit software out there. If your going to sit here and represent MSI. First you need some suggestions and you don't have to take em.
    First off answer questions with out the criticism to the 64 bit OS. Just try and help the people regardless of your opinion.
    Secondly you need to lose this idea that there is no market for 64bit software. There is. Trust me I report to people who want to see what is in demand. 64 bit is in great demand (Mainly because of ram and yes people don't realize that there really never going to use it. However; The market is pushing this so when it does come out and they do start using it there won't be a mad rush to update everything again.)
    Last... Maybe you should get on this company as well. This may be a user forum but, to be honest I am here criticizing them as on many other sites so they can hopefully get word that there are many people aside from me who are complaining about there support and they can improve it. MSI has some great innovations but they need to make sure they support all the new hardware and software that goes along with being in this type of business. Criticism helps drive us as Human, as companies to do better.
    However I do value you and your opinion and will even be submitting a report of this forum and how helpful it is to those who are not so good with the computer or just starting out doing it on their own. You can lock this if ya like. Please don't take offense either as I think you have some knowledge that is really worth sharing to many others. I have seen some of your other posts after your replies and you definitely have some great input. Thanks for letting me debate with you.

  • Agfa SnapScan Touch no longer supported by MacOS thanks to Snow Leopard

    Since Snow Leopard my Agfa ScanScan Touch scanner is useless. ThanX to Snow Leopard... Even application VueScan cannot get the SnapScan to work. Thanx to this great new OS...

    1. I have a long Apple history and know who is responsible for drivers. I just want to remind you to the situations where Apple came with new OS's or ports and lots of stuff did not work. I will not spend time here to write a history lesson on this.
    But your example was of a currently shipping product (Time Capsule) that is supported by SL. I would have known that you understood the problem if you had chosen a product that had actually been abandoned. I'm guessing that some products that are currently shipping, will not run with 10.7 or 10.8, but almost all of the products I have now will be in the trash or scheduled for replacement due to repair costs which are often higher than replacement. This has happened to us as drive belts fail in printers and scanners. Luckily the $1200 scanners of the '90s have improved to the point where we get better quality/speed in a $100 model shipping today.
    The obsolete 32 bit drivers problem is going to continue and could actually get worse. It's been projected that each new version of OS X from here on out will probably have tighter requirements for drivers to be 64 bit. SL is a transition OS, with very few visible changes for the user. Security updates are still coming out for Leopard, and I think I saw one recently for Tiger but I don't look there very often.
    There is no business reason to upgrade from Leopard for at least another year or until high end applications actually need or take advantage of a 64 bit OS. The additional ram handling is to solve a problem that doesn't exist yet and the programs don't know how to use multiple CPU cores very well, yet.
    They could save MORE environment if they supported larges installed base peripherals. I know the industry needs to keep me selling new stuff which I love to buy, but it hurts my eco feeling to now through something away which is 6 or 8 years old and still technically is perfect....
    More responsible packaging, recycled materials in the actual product, ongoing support for older OS's - that's what I see from companies like Apple. We will see more, as energy efficiency requirements change in the next decade.
    We are also doing something to help. Our older devices are not going into a landfill. There is a local recycling center that is accepting our outdated or defective hardware. The replacement products use less energy and are more productive. We don't feel that the older devices are technically perfect if they consume too much electricity, run slower than our work flow, or require us to keep older inefficient computers on-line. The older machines are wearing out and need new power supplies and hard drives.
    In order to keep using the old SCSI scanner we did keep a Dual G4 that came with Jaguar running in Tiger for a couple of years (Adaptec SCSI drivers disappeared with Leopard). We finally got rid of all SCSI devices and re-purposed one old machine to be a headless Leopard server but the maintenance bills are starting to pile up, it runs hot, it's very noisy (Windtunnel fans), it's not very energy efficient, it's not upgradable to SL server and the new ReadyNAS arrives on next Tuesday. We look forward to shutting of the old power hogs. The server room will be quite a bit cooler and will require less air conditioning. We might even be able to turn the room back into a workspace. The noise and heat made the room uncomfortable to work in.

  • Need to Know:  Support for HP P1006 Printer in Snow Leopard

    Hi: Anyone out there using a P1006 printer on Snowleopard?
    Just bought a new iMac. I have a chance to pick up an HP P1006 printer at a great price, but am unsure if driver support is built into snow leopard or if I must go to HP to download. I checked HP's site and they are very vague about the specific Mac operating systems they support with this printer model. I looked on Apple's doc pages and it was unclear whether the driver is already on snow leopard or I must download it. I'd love to know before I spend the money.
    Thanks for your help! I truly appreciate any advice you can throw my way.
    Steve

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669 i'd look here first, if its not there some times manufactures make drives and for get to tell apple about it and they have the drivers on their web site. hope this helps

  • Will Oracle supports "Installations" on Tiger? Will MacOSX/Intel supported?

    Oracle 10g runs well on Mac OS X 10.4 (PowerPC) but is unable to install! Are there plans to fix it? And what's about Mac OS X (Intel)? The most problem should be byte-ordering ... no problem for Oracle i think, they supports MSB and LSB as well!
    Any reaction for Oracle since now?

    I certainly hope not. Lets not forget that it is not a small change. For some unknown reason oracle has datafiles that have formats inside that are cpu dependent. The shift to intel also means shifting from Big Endian to Little Endian cpus. This can not be solved by setting a flag in xcode 2.1, this wil mean a rewrite of more than a few lines of code. I expect that most of this code will be isolated to a few libraries.
    I think that as long as Apples plans for the xserve are not known, oracle won't do anything and I can't blame them for it. By the end of the year 10Gr2 and after that we will see.
    regards,
