Dropped support for high-def dvd?

Does anyone know if Mavericks dropped support for the HD DVD format offered by Compressor 3?
A DVD authored with this format will not play on an iMac (2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo) running Mavericks, but will play on a Mac Pro (2x2Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xeon) running Mac OS 10.6.8. Other DVDs play fine on the iMac.
Thanks in advance for any information regarding this.

The CalDigit card is not rated to work on the NEWEST MacPros...the ones with different processors and other internal circuitry. It works fine on previous models. The big reason I suggest the Caldigit card over the rest is:
1) It is half the price with all the same features
2) It can be installed and removed by the customer. The Apple card can only be installed and removed by a certified Apple dealer.
Now, Raid 5 is good as it offers PROTECTION...where RAID 0 does not. If one drive dies, the RAID 5 still works. If the same happened to Raid 0, all info is lost...ALL. Raid 5 will lower the capacity of all the drives, as it uses one for this protection, where Raid 0 is larger. Give and take.
FYI...I cut DVCPRO HD and ProRes on internal drives...no raid. Firewire 800 drives are good for this format too. Raids are only needed for multiple streams of ProRes, and the uncompressed formats. And for protection.

Want to make first high-def DVD

I would like to start burning high-def DVDs. After searching this forum, it seems that (a) iDVD is not yet set up to burn full high-def video to DVD and (b) Toast 10 might be the best option.
How do I determine if my Mac Pro has the appropriate hardware to burn to a blu-ray DVD? Will Toast 10 burn to a blu-ray DVD that will work in a blu-ray player? If the duration of the video is sufficiently short, can it be burned to a standard DVD and, if so, will it play back in full high-def on a blu-ray player?

If you want to make a homemade DVD look professional, you need:
1. Cameras with better color
2. Tripod
3. Excellent lighting
4. Professional encoder for mpeg2; with software, set it to multipass and maximum quality. It may take many times real time to encode
5. Proper shooting techniques, so that you're not always moving or panning, which would tax the encoder
6. Color correction, to make it as vivid as desired
7. Proper optics, i.e. something with a short depth of field to add complexity to the image
8. Proper directing
9. A format of film or video which is not highly compressed (like HDV or AVCHD) and introduces artifacts
10. A proper soundtrack and sound editor, which will make it "look" better
11. Dual layer discs allow you to increase your bitrate
So, a homemade DVD and a professional one have very little in common. The fact that they are both SD has little to do with anything.

Why does firefox drop support for a plugin with an update

Why the H*ll does Firefox drop support for a plugin when there is an update in Firefox.
FF4 has reported that 6 of my plugins that work fine in 3.6 are now not supported. !! This is a joke, and happens regularly.
As a user (a highly IT literate one) this is annoying and frustrating, and from a design standpoint, unprofessional.

Plugins as in Flash, Java, quicktime or such or do you mean Extensions ?
Plenty of Plugins seems to be detected and in use by Firefox 4.0 just fine according to your system details by your post.
If you meant Extensions then check for updates, look at addons.mozilla.org or the Extension homepage for to see if the author has provided a update.
Generally Extensions can need anywhere from a simple maxversion bump to a lot more for it to work properly on a new Major version of Firefox depending on what the Extension does.
It is professional actually as extensions that were not actually compatible may actually cause problems big or small if they were to still just ''work'' in a new Major version release so hence the need for them to be properly up to date on any changes and hopefully the extension author is quick about it.

Why is Adobe dropping support for pre 3GS phones?!

I think it's a bad decision to drop support for pre 3GS devices. There are still many out there and if support is dropped we're forced to still use the old PFI to reach the complete audience.
It's clear that OpenGL ES 2 offers a lot more fancy stuff than OpenGL ES 1.5 does, but still, things like GPU_VECTOR or sophisticated blending are perfectly doable with OpenGL ES 1.5.
And if a clean implementation is really not possible, Adobe should at least allow to publish for old devices even if this means that not all optimization techniques can be used.
I develop iPhone apps using different technologies and AIR is attractive for me because I can target with one project a big range of different plattforms. If Adobe drops support for old phones, this advantage is heavily shortened!
What is your opinion on the this development?

Apple have dropped support for pre-3GS because to pull of the features and performance in iOS 4.3 they had to develop just for the ARM7 chip, and not for the ARM6. They probably have a good sense of the number of people that have the older devices, and think it's ok to not update the software on those devices.
The same may be true for Adobe.
I am trying to find out how to make AIR 2.6 and AIR 2.0 live together in Flash CS5. If I work it out I'll let you know.

Firefox dropping support for optgroups?

It seems that Firefox 4 has dropped support for <optgroup> elements? Why would such a great web development browser do this? Also, the box model has changed with this release.
Not good guys.

Plugin are installed outside the control of Firefox and Firefox usually scan specific registry keys to find a specific plugin.
As long as MS makes a Silverlight plugin available for Firefox then you can use Silverlight in Firefox.

Apple tv video quality vs hd tv and high def dvd's

ok...i know it supports 1080i, but does the video quality of video in itunes really look good compared against say a blu-ray disc, or hdtv signals? i'm sure it will get better (with a hardware or software upgrade?) if its not close to high def quality but want to know what i'm in store for if i buy appletv now...thanks. PS: i currently have directv HD and a ps3 for blu-ray, and my tv's are all HD...

Based on my own testing, the distinctions between an HD-DVD movie (which are true 1080) and an Apple TV video converted as its own maximum settings (which is 720) is actually quite noticeable if you have a 1080 TV set, but at the same I don't consider it a show-stopper. I watch a lot of HD broadcast content that's only 720p, and it's still very good.
An HD-DVD or Blu-Ray DVD will normally be in 1920 x 1080 resolution (1080p or 1080i, generally depending on your equipment). The Apple TV's maximum resolution is 1280 x 720 (basically 720p). Therefore, even an original HD-DVD or Blu-Ray DVD converted to Apple TV will need to be scaled down to 720p for display on the Apple TV.
Further, Elgato EyeTV actually scales these down somewhat lower, so HDTV recorded content could be even worse-off, depending on the original source. The standard Apple TV export settings use a 960 x 540 frame in order to keep the bit-rate and frame rate within tolerances (since a 720p signal is approximately 60fps, and the bitrates will generally exceed 5-6 mbps, which pushes the limits of the Apple TV).
Even more interestingly, Elgato's new turbo.264 dongle will only encode in "Apple TV" format at a maximum resolution of 800 x 600 (and if you do the math you will realize that this will be considerably less for a 16:9 aspect ratio video).
The result is that videos converted from an EyeTV Hybrid are technically much worse off on the Apple TV than viewing the original source material. Whether this is significant enough to be noticeable will depend on your output medium, but on my 62" DLP, the difference is quite apparent (although still far superior to an SDTV signal).
You can get 1280 x 720 content to play back at 60fps at 5mbps bit-rates on the Apple TV by using ffmpeg-based encoders and manually selecting higher settings, although it's been hit-and-miss in my own testing, and of course it creates gargantuan files. Elgato and others have obviously tried to stay with the more conservative settings to ensure that they can guarantee the broadcast possible range of support.
In fact, although most of the standard encoder settings max out at 2.5-3.0 mbps, I've successfully pushed up to 6 mbps through the Apple TV, although such content has to be synced rather than streamed, since even an 802.11n network has a hard time keeping up (it worked, but there were some drop-outs and glitches in the process). Of course, 6mbps content is going to fill up the Apple TV hard drive pretty quickly as well (you'd only be able to fit around 11 hours on the internal 40GB hard drive).
The other thing to keep in mind with DVD movies is that they come from film, which is a 24fps source (based on the physical nature of film). As a result, the distinctions between a 720p and 1080i signal are less prevalant when dealing with film content, since you won't get the full 60fps HDTV capabilities anyway. Interlacing can still create some nasty side-effects, but it's far less of an issue when you're dealing with less than half of the normal frames.
In my own experiences, I have an Apple TV that is connected to a 1080p upscaling DLP TV (native 1080i input, internalized de-interlacing), and a second Apple TV that is connected to a 720p LCD TV. With the first Apple TV, I can notice the difference between 720p and 1080i output settings only when viewing photos, since the remainder of the standard content doesn't exceed 720p anyway. Further, because my TV de-interlaces a 1080i signal to 1080p, I don't get the flicker that is normally associated with a 1080i signal.
On the second Apple TV, I leave the setting to 720p, since that's the native resolution of the second TV, and I get noticeable interlacing-based flickering on the 1080i, particularly with photo slideshows (mostly in the transitions).

Best application for Standard Def DVD creation?

I have a bunch of MiniDV tapes shot in standard def that I want to make into DVDs for my family. I want to preserve as much picture quality as possible during the process and will be using transitions, overlays, and credits.
I have used iMovie 08 and abandoned it because I needed dynamic chapter markers. I am now ready to edit the next DVD in the 'series', and with the advent of iMovie 09 and the availability of Final Cut Express at a reasonable price, I am trying to decide which way to go. I also have a copy of iMovie HD 6 which I used for my previous DVD.
From reading the reviews of iMovie 09 I am pretty confident that I would be happy with it functionally, but not if it costs me in picture quality. I noticed on my first effort using iMovie HD 6 and iDVD, that the DVD picture was not as sharp as the video viewed directly from the camera. Did I do something wrong, or is that a "feature" of iMovie? Would FCE be better?
My only concern with FCE apart from spending money that I may not need to spend, is the talk of a steep learning curve. With two little kids at home I don't have a lot of spare time. That said, I'd rather spend the time and get a sharp looking DVD than get a mediocre one quickly.
Thanks for any advice.

What do you mean by "dynamic chapter markers"?
I meant the ability to define the precise location of the chapter within the movie, such that when exported to iDVD the menu allows you to jump to any point you have defined in the movie. By "dynamic" I mean they may be placed at random locations, rather than fixed intervals. iMovie 08 deleted the ability to add chapter markers, iDVD allows only fixed interval chapters (which seems useless to me), as does Toast. I tried the work-around of using Garage Band, but it fails on larger projects. I've read that iMovie 09 has restored the ability to add chapter markers where you want, but if I'm going to shell out more cash I might as well get the package that will get me the best picture too (within reason).
In any video application, for Chapter markers you simply place them in the application, then edit them in iDVD, DVD Studio Pro, etc.
Not in iMovie 08/iDVD, but now that you mention it, how does DVD Studio Pro compare to iDVD? I'm mostly focused on picture quality.
Do you mean better animated titles that you could use within the program? For this FCE is much better, because you don't need to work with the premade things, you can create and animate your own from the ground up.
That will be fun. Not what I was talking about, but a nice feature. I know that FCE will have lots of capability that iMovie doesn't (by design), that's just gravy.
I have used iMovie HD 6 to place chapters where I wanted them in my last DVD project, I didn't have much trouble working with it although it is a bit more "professional grade" than iMovie (I know, not saying much). How do the two compare for learning curve/user friendliness? I would like to say that I'd get a book to read on FCE but the truth is that on an average day I don't have time to watch the news let alone read a book.
In my opinion, FCE is definitely worth the investment and once you learn it you will never want to go back to iMovie!
Thanks, just the fact that the output is higher quality is a big pull for me. I think I'm going to take the plunge.
Now for the next question: FCE 4 or 3.5?

Burning High Def DVDs

I've been reading quite a few posts on this topic, but it seems I'm always missing something:
First, I have bought Snow Leopard but have not installed it yet. I'll be using iMovie 09.
I'm considering buying the Canon Vixia HG21 which needs IM 09 for transferring and editing High Def signal. Up until that point, I'm clear on what to do.
It's what happens then where it's nebulous.
I understand that I'll need Toast to create Blu Ray disks, but what happens to the menus and fancy intros with music we get with iDVD? Is there any way to get them?
If I create short movies (15-20 min max) that can fit on "regular" DVDs, I assume I can still get the High Def signal, but how/where can they be played? I don't have a Play Station. I know I'm looking at investing money to get a High Def TV and something that can read the DVDs (Blu Ray or not) I'll be creating, but I'm unsure on what to get and rather ask questions now than discover too late I made the wrong choice.
Thanks for any insights.

Need high capacity DVD-R burner for high-capacity DVDs

I need to start burning high capacity DVDs, but they are only available (that I can find) in DVD+R. Per my profile, my drive burns only DVD-R, so I'm looking for a mac-compatible external drive that will burn DVD+R's.
Does anyone know of a source for these?
Thanks.

Agreed on the Pioneer, and the media. Add Taiyo Yuden as desirable media.
Ditto on the Taiyo Yuden. Usually availably only through online retailers.
OS X Leopard supports burning to DVD-R DL, but doesn't support DVD+R DL.
The output for my DVR-110D in System Profiler shows DVD+R DL as supported:
*PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110D:*
Firmware Revision: 1.41
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 2000 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds

Which Computer needed for High Def video

I purchased a Panasonic HDC-TM900 High def camcorder and don't have enough computer power to edit the video. Which computer or how much processor power do I need.
thanks

Hmm....
what software did the camera come with?
What does the manual/documentation say for computer requirements?
Yes, I do encourage i7 or quad-core for best performance
Budget a few hundred gigabytes of hard drive space for render space for hour long projects
I like 7200rpm drives
If you are getting paid for your work, don't hesistate to double or triple your budget.
Have you considered a high-end gaming laptop to showcase your work or work right at your clients? I do my work on a gaming laptop and it's much more rewarding to showcase my work and make edits on the spot with a client.
Again your camera is capable of 3D. Don't limit your hardware to 2D.
With regards to software
I like Pinnacle Studio for raw performance and excellent interface when I'm trimming clips.
I like Avid Studio for Picture and Picture. Pinnacle is limited to 2 video streams.
I like Corel VideoStudio Ultimate (still learning it) for 3D support
Seriously research and look for a local demonstation of Matrox MXO2. If you are making money on your projects, being able to render and post your videos with the shortest amount of time with make you more attractive to a client. It also frees up your personal time.
Panasonic's camera is still kinda new, you are going to need to research if products identified supports your camera.

Drag and drop files for burn to DVD takes FOREVER

When I drag and drop files onto the blank DVD icon, the ghosts of said files just hang there for the longest time, and I get a spinny beach ball. Many, many minutes later things finally return to normal and I can proceed with burning the DVD. It's just copying some aliases, right? It didn't used to take more than a couple of seconds before I upgarded to Mavericks. So what the **** is taking so long now?
PBP 2.66 Core 2 Duo, running 10.9.1, burning to a Samsung Portable DVD Writer Model SE-218

Thanks for the reply. If I reformat the drive will I be able to access the files on it from the MAC. I do not share the drive with a PC. The files were originally created on a PC which I no longer use. I do want to continue to access the files put there by the PC. I would like to not have to copy them over to the MAC hard drive just to use them. The second aux drive is new and works fine because it was formatted by the MAC. I can drag and drop files there and work with just as if they were on the internal drive.

Adding drop support for JPanel in 1.4

Hi there.
I'm sorry for this naive question, but I just had to...
For implementing drop support in a JPanel can we use the new dnd features of 1.4 or do we have to do it using the "old style"?
I mean, do we have to implement the DropTargetListener interface and define it as a DropTarget or is there a simpler way?
Cheers,
/rp

CS4 drops support for databases?

I just got off a lengthy call with Dreamweaver tech support,
and they confirmed that there is no longer any support for database
connectivity using ASP.Net VB in the new CS4 version. The only
connectivity that is supported is through a Spry Dataset. The
technician said that this appears to be a security related issue
and that Adobe has no intentions of changing this.
Why would Adobe do this?
I have used Dreamweaver for many years, and this was one of
the strongest parts of the program, and the decision ends our
company’s use of any newer version of the product.

The dropping of support for ASP.NET was announced in August
2007, but
support for ASP, PHP and CF hasn't been dropped. The reason
for .NET to
be dropped isn't just security, its down to Adobe never being
able to
keep up with all the updates from Microsoft for .NET. They
just can't
compete with Microsoft's own products.
I am still on CS3, and don't have any plans to get CS4, as
the features
don't make a big enough difference for me, yet. So if you
need .NET
support, stick with CS3, but you will only be using getting
.NET v1.1 so
you will be far behind everyone else.

Dropping support for Internet Explorer 8, and Firefox 20.x or below

Starting April 30th, we will discontinue support for all Internet Explorer 8 versions and all Firefox 20 versions and below. In order to continue using Business Catalyst Admin user interface without problems, you and your clients need to upgrade to a more recent browser:
Download Internet Explorer
Download Safari
Download Chrome
Download Firefox

Thanks for your reply Shay.
We plan to officially support IE8 with the next patch release to JDeveloper 11g - currently planned for later this year.That matches what I wrote in my initial post in this forum thread about IE8 support.
We usually only certify browsers after they officially go production.That does not really answer my question (q1) in this forum thread.
It is more like, how can I assess that Oracle will support any successor(s) of IE8 or successor(s) of any currently supported browsers for ADF 11g applications in the future? How long will Oracle support "commonly used browsers" for an ADF 11g application I build today, so how long will I be able to use that application?
How do I answer such questions for ADF 11g applications that should be deployed on the internet (where, as some extranet environments, you typically have not that much (or no) control over which browsers your users use ... although some would like to argue with that, see forum thread "ADF Faces RC browser support and browser market share")?
(By the way, do you have any feedback for the forum thread "ADF 10g support for Internet Explorer 8"?)
regards
Jan

When did Oracle drop support for this?

Hi
I have the 9.2.0.2 Windows installation of Oracle on a test PC here. On 9.2.0.2, the CREATE TABLESPACE statement fails when specifying the TEMPORARY clause. Instead I have to use CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE. The difference of course is that the latter creates a locally managed temp ts while the former creates dictionary managed temp ts.
Does anyone know the exact version at which Oracle stopped support for CREATE TABLESPACE ... TEMPORARY - i.e. dictionary managed temporary tablespaces?
Thanks
Martin

Fredrik is correct. My system tablespace is locally managed. I tried his proposed tablespace creation and it did fail "ORA-12913: Cannot create dictionary managed tablespace". So there is the answer.
Thanks to both of you for the help.
Martin.
