Does high-profile RAM fit in a clamshell iBook?

I was wondering if a 2-inch high-profile memory module would fit in the clamshell iBook. I've got one left over from my Powerbook Pismo. It's a 512-MB PC133 module.
Also, how can I find out which Macs support high-profile RAM? Is there a knowledgebase document or something similar?
Thanks in advance.

No, you need low-profile RAM.

Encoding to high profile h.264 with quicktime (7 pro) export

Is there anyway to encode high profile h264 with quicktime export ?
Been using a canon HF100 for years now, and my goal is to edit and export my movies to h264 with the least quality lost. I can edit(trimming and merging) without quality loss. My endresult is in AIC codec, but when I export it to H264 in quicktime, in the highest settings, I can still see quality(or actually, color depth) loss in low light scenes.
Even with a bitrate which is almost identical to the AIC file...
I have a 130.2Mb (52.7Mbps) h264 main@Level 5 with 2 reference frames/second clip that looks worse the the original AIC file(56.9Mbps) of 143.8Mb
The canon HF100 records in high profile at level 4.0 (high@L4) with 17Mbps. It does 2 reference frames per second and CABAC.
So in theory exporting my projects at 17Mbps should be enough, if only the right settings where available in quicktime export.
Is there anyway to convert AIC to High profile settings, CABAC(available in main profile but not used bij quicktime in h264 output) on the MAC ?
My workflow:
1. I use shedworx VoltaicHD to convert my AVCHD files to AIC (pretty much lossles)
2. I use Imovie 6 to create a new Project in the following structure: HDV1080i
3. I don't import the AIC files with iMovie but I dump them with Finder in the "media" folder of the Imovie project.(This way I can maintain the 1920x1080 resolution, with importing it gets 1440x1080)
4. Then I open the project in Imovie, open the trashcan and see my movie clips.
5. Then the trimming, cutting and merging begins, no use of effects(adding effects creates 1440x1080 video)
6. Time for export with quicktime h264 codec.

Hi MartinR,
Some answers on your thoughts:
"You have an AVCHD camcorder. Where did you get the technical information that it records HiProfile/Level 4/2 ref frames per sec/CABAC?"
-I'v dropped some original mts files from my camera on a program called "mediainfo" from sourceforge net.
"VoltaicHD's conversion isn't exactly 1920x1080, either. Open one of your AIC files in QT Player, do Window > Show Movie Inspector and tell us what it says for format and fps. 1440x1080? 1888x1062?"
-Both mediainfo and quicktime (7 pro and the new quicktime) show in their info that the movie format from voltaicHD file is 1920x1080.
But I can remember I've seen the 1888x1062 resolution in the info in the past. Maybe things where changed by a new version of voltaic or an update by quicktime ?
" certainly understand your efforts to get the results you want with what you have on hand. However you will be better off with iMovie11 and/or Final Cut Express 4 or Final Cut Studio 6. FCP 6 by the way supports ProRes which, if you are very driven for the highest technical qualities, would be the way to go."
I thought about buying imovie 11 in the app store. For 11,99 euro's it's a bargain!
But a little search on the forums kept me from buying it.
My camera puts out interlaced files, even when I record progressive. This is done by most camera manufacturers for compatibility on blu ray players and older lcd and plasma tv's.
Now it seems that if you use effects in imovie 11, it drops half the fields, resulting in 960x540 resolution...In that case imovie 6 with 1440x1080 supported effects is still better.
The same 1440x1080 limitations seems to exist in Final cut express 4.
I know the backdoor in imvie06 works, you can see the 1920 to 1440 resolution drop with your own eyes when effects are added. The drop is only visible in the frames that contain a special effect, the rest of the exported movie is untouched and still 1920.
I did some thinking, and what bothers me the most is that exporting the movie results in loss of color depth/detail. I could imagine that if I could use Prores422 instead of AIC, which is only available in FCP (999Euro's!). That the end result is better, but I'm not sure.
Could be that the colors of the original movie file are spread more over the range because it supports 10 bit sample depth instead of 8. Even when that is true, I am not sure if the h.264 codec will tread it different and maintains some more color depth.
And for fact the avchd files are 4:2:0 and not 4:2:2.
Do you or anyone know if there is any different in quality in an exported to h.264 pro resolution file or an AIC file. Even when the source is 8 bit 4:2:0 ?

Still waiting for x264 High Profile playback

Since the last thread that asked the question is a year old and locked up tight, I'll ask it again: does Apple ever plan to support x264 High Profile playback in Quicktime? They want to push iTunes/Front Row and Apple TV as the media center platform of the future, but if they can't support what is quickly becoming the new standard, then what's the point? VLC and MPlayer both play these files just fine, so it sure as heck isn't an issue of OS compatibility or processor horsepower.
C'mon Apple, get with the program...

I don't see where x264 is part of Blu-ray....
High profile doesn't mean it's a standard.
All so would you post these places on the internet where is says x264 is high profile. I'm lost on this one too!!!
Silverhammer...if you go to a x264 forum you'll find hundreds if not thousands of the variations of x264 codec. All not working together.
x264 needs to die along with AVI...

High Profile H.264 FC6?

Hello
Vimeo recommends using 'High Profile' H.264, (instead of the normal drop down H.264), for HD. But there is no so-called 'High Profile' H.264 in FC6.
Are there other options?
If so, can someone please state them for me?
Thank you

Hello Ian
How are you?
Yes, I'm aware of the importance of the Data Rate. In fact, for HD, Vimeo recommends 10K to 20K.
https://vimeo.com/help/compression
Needless to say, this post ties into my other one regarding 'workarounds' with limited equipment; using only a Mac Mini 10.6, and ClipWrap to get AVCHD files converted to QT - Only to find out that FC6 does not have 'High Profile' H.264, which came out with FC7.
And with the extra burden of HUGH render times evident with older G5's, FC6 and these converted AVCHD files, its back to reality. If my friend picks up a nice used Mac Pro intell Desktop and de-activated FC7 on Ebay, he should be in the 'Pink' .
Nice to see you again Ian

Thinkpad A20P Tuning - Does a T23 cooling fit in an A20P ?

Hi,
i would like to tune my A20P up to max. possible sl5sh 1,0 ghz coppermine processor.
Now ive read about possible temperature problems caused by the higher voltage the 900 mhz and 1,00 ghz coppermines are using (which george mentioned too in another thread).
Ive read also that people owning a thinkpad T20 could solve this by using the cooling of a T23 model.
Can i do this aswell ? ..i mean does a T23 cooling fit in an A20P ?
Greetings.

No, cooling fan from T23 will not fit an A2x series machine.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

HIGH DENSITY RAM

HI ALL,
I HAVE A K8N NEO PLATINUM BOARD AND AM LOOKING TO INSTALL HIGH DENSITY RAM. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE NFORCE 3 250Gb CHIPSET IS COMPATIBLE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ALL ON THIS SUBJECT AND ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WHO USE HIGH DENSITY RAM. THE RAM IS THE SAME AS YOU SEE ON EBAY(1GB MODULE).
THANKS TO ALL WHO CAN LEND A HELPING HAND.

ok, there is no such thing as a high density RAM. i really think that the seller put up that high density crap to lure the customers. what you have there is regular PC3200(DDR400) RAM. any type of DDR-RAM will work with your mobo, as long as it's DDR.
DDR2 or SDR or RD-RAM does not work on your mobo. so just make sure you won't buy one of those.
i strongly suggest to avoid e-bay, and go to a reseller or a computer store to buy the memory.

Does Apple do RAM upgrades for you?

I was wondering, if I were to bring my Macbook into and Apple Store, would I able to leave it and have them upgrade RAM for me? I would like to have more, but am a bit nervous to do the task myself, as easy as it may be. And any idea on cost would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Any Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be able to upgrade your RAM for you, eluve59.
You can find Apple Authorised Service Providers in Canada by using the "locator" at http://www.apple.com/ca/buy/locator/
If you go through an Apple Store then you will find that the cost of the RAM itself is high ($220CA for 4 GB (in 2x 2 GB modules) according to the Apple Canada website). At an AASP it is likely that you will be offered a choice of the official "Apple" RAM at the same price, or the option of lower priced good quality "third party" RAM for substantially less (4 GB of equivalent high quality RAM is available for $100CA or less from many suppliers). The fitting cost should not be high in either case. It is a very simple job.
Cheers

Hello All,
No matter what I'm running, I always have high RAM usage with kernel_task. I've looked around the other threads and never found a definitive solution. I wouldn't call it crippling to my system but I would like to resolve the issue. Below is a screenshot of my activity monitor, and my Etrecheck run. Please let me know anything I can do to reduce the RAM usage of this process.

The kernel_task memory usage is normal.

I have a CS6 Disc I purchased. It does not seem to fit correctly in my external hard drive so I can download the software. Is a special kind of external hard drive required. I have a MAC Book Pro Yosemite version.

I recently purchased an Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium software so I could use a more updated version of Photoshop & Illustrator. My new Mac Book Pro does not have an internal hard drive. I was told by Apple to buy an external hard drive to download the software. I bought an LG Ultra Slim Portable DVD Writer compatible for MAC. When I went to put the disc in the drive it does not seem to fit in the tray properly. Is there a special size external drive I need to purchase to do this? Please help if you know the answer. Thank you.

QuickTime MPEG-2 Component cant playback High Profile High Level content

Is the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component really unable to playback HP HL content?
Im encoding high bitrate media content to mediaservers with my Mac Pro and have used VLC so far to playback the encoded files.
VLC however doesent loop flawlessly so i decided to try QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component.
To my disappoinment it did not play back the High Profile High Level Mpeg-2 content at all.
It tried, but no image was visible and only a few digital bleeps could be heard from soundtrack.
Why call it a playback component if it cant do the job?
Yours,
Matti Snellman

Photoshop CS4 does NOT use RAM as scratch disk

Photoshop CS4 does NOT use RAM as scratch disk
as far as I can tell.
I have 20 GB RAM and still Photoshop uses the hard disk as scratch disk.
(OS = Win 7 64).
Can I force the use of RAM as scratch disk?
/Larry

Hi PECourtejoie,
I really try to understand this, please.
I don't know if 'Hitting the hard disk brings unacceptable slowdowns in my workflow'.
Because I don't know what unacceptable slowdowns are.
Any operation in Phshp takes time, and you always want it to go as fast as possible..
I know that if Phshp only worked against RAM instead of constantly saving to (and reading from) the hard drive it ought to go faster.
But I still don't know if this is the case, because there is a constant use of a tempfile on the hard drive's Scratch disk!
So far I understand that Phshp may BOTH work in RAM AND save data to the hard drive Scratch disk.
It could be possible that the writing to the hard disk happens when Phshp is idle from other tasks and that the reading only happens when data has disappeared from the Cache in RAM.
That could be a scenario where a Scratch disk on Hard drive doesn't interfere with Phshps performance, and an explanation why we should not bother about the Scratch disk on the hard drive.
But I would very much like to have some confirmation on this, IF this is the explanation of how the Scratch disk on a hard drive works without influencing Phshp's performance??
Everybody just seem to assume that Photoshop uses (some) parts of RAM as work space - I just need a better understanding of this. And some correct descriptions.

does installing aftermarket RAM into new macbook pro non-retina void apple warranty

Only for the RAM which should be covered by the manufacturers/vendors warranty. Now if you damage the MBP while installing the RAM then you may find yourself voiding the MBP warranty. But ir does take a lot to do that.
