DVX and the Squeeze Mode in FCP
Good morning,
I recently experimented with the Squeeze mode on my DVX100b. I shot in 24pA and captured to FCP using the advanced pull down setup. The clip was recognized as anamorphic (judging by the checked box in the Anamorphic column of the browser) and I just put it into the time line and exported it as a Quicktime Movie using the 'current settings' default.
What I noticed when reviewing the QT movie is that everything looks a little squished on the horizontal plane (shorter and fatter). I don't mind since I'm 7'2" and weigh 98 pounds but my co-star, my dog Fezic, is complaining. He looks like he's 1'6" and weighs 98 pounds!
Have I missed something essential to using DVX Squeeze footage in FCP?
Cheers,
John

Hey John,
I could be wrong but, I think that QT will only recognize the source media's native pixel aspect ratio, which in your case is squished (squeeze mode).
Are you going to DVD? If so, DVDSP will allow you to check 16:9/anamorphic, in which case it should unsquish your footage.
I just picked up a DVX100B myself, (love it-by the way--just don't have the bucks for HVX yet..but some day). I haven't gotten as far as exporting/burning so I'm not positive about this, however I've worked on many projects that was shot 16:9 (1280 X 960) on the HVX which FCP ingests as and recognizes as 960 X 720. If I had to export a roughcut sequence for client or for composer, etc. I would always panic B/C the QT made it looked squished. But, it was brought to my attention after scouring the forums here and elsewhere that QT does not recognize 'SQUARE' pixels.
Also, (I'm sure you're aware), but if not, you should check out dvxuser.com. They have loads of info on your cam and how it integrates w/ FCP.
Best of Luck!

Where is the Components Panel and the Design Mode button in FlashBuilder 4.7 Premium?
I'm new to FlashBuilder. I've been using many years just Flash and now I'm switching to FlashBuilder. I've seen some tutorials, but the Interface in my copy of the program do not match the one in the tutorials. I could't find the componets Panel and the Design Mode button. Any ideea why?
My Laptop runs on Windows 7. FlashBuilder 4.7 Premium is via Creative Cloud:
SnapShot from Tutorials I've seen
SnapShot From my application
with yelow i've marked the place with the "Components View" and the "Design" mode button
whith that red line I've marked the place where the "Design" mode button is expected
I've notice the following menu:
Whe you click on Views: Window->Show Views->Other... an interactive dialog appears with the tree of views available. Above there is a textField where you can enter a filter. As you type the text, the tree updates accordingly, after each letter.
I've searched for the Components panel ... surprise!!!
nothing on filter
filtering for Outline View
filtering for Component View
the tree complete
the tree finds the Outline View
the tree is already empty
As you notice the list of views is empty even before I finish the spelling of the word "Component".
Is there something I should configure, or this feature is not available in this particular distribution ?I found the answer myself. Looks like this new version does not support these features anymore: http://www.adobe.com/ro/products/flash-builder/buying-guide.html.
Strange...
The question rising here is what happens with this feature?
Will be available with a future update?
Will no longer be availalble in FlashBuilder, but in another Adobe Project?
Will never be available?
I belive this features are not important for advanced users... but I'm just learning this. I'm used to work in Flash. I write ActionScript, but I'm not familliar with the objects availlable in Flex, so the Component Panel and Design Mode is quite handy on this stage.
Plus, there is a real concern about the future of this technology, now beeing available HTML5. So, there is a question of oportunity investing time in learning things no longer supported. The most frustrating thing is not having an answer to this question. Even a "No" is better than "We don't know yet" <- the answer I received from online support. -
my ipod is disabled, and the recovery mode isn't working. what should I do?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. Try more than once. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.

The Do not Disconnect sign and the Disk Mode
Hi. I fully understand the reason for the "Do not disconnect" sign and the disk mode, etc. However there are a couple of things that bug me. I prefer to keep my ipod permanently connected to a power source (USB port). Now, every time there's a USB event (connecting or disconnecting my mobile pone or USB memory) the "Do not disconnect" sign reappears and I have to go into iTunes again and eject the ipod to be able to use it. Why does this happen? Is there a way to avoid it?

How to print the report file name and path and the last mod date
Good morning,
I am trying to print on the footer of the report the report file name and path as well as the report last modification date.
Anyone would know how I can do that? I have checked the doc but found nothing.
Thks. Philippe.Did you ever determine how to print report name and report last mod date?

Dual screen and the survey mode
just uploaded LR3, and have hit a huge snag -
on the second screen, the star ratings, the basis of my cull process, do not show up.
Is there a setting to make them appear and work, or has adobe big-brothered us into ONLY have accept and reject as options for culling?
gmwguaranteed its different.
Let me see if I can explain this more thoroughly.
Before:
import all images with a two star tag.
in Library, set attributes to show ONLY two stars
call up (say) six images on the main (say, left) screen
Click on Monitor 2, images selected show up on screen #2.
Ratings showed up, and were changeable on either screen,
but on the main screen, ALL selected images were affected
when ANY change was made to the selected images. ,
on the second screen. however, ratings could be changed on
INDIVIDUAL images, changed to (say three stars or NO stars,
making them disappear from BOTH screens.
This made culling and selecting images VERY quick,
and looking at focus was much better since the images were much larger
on the second screen.
Now:
Since there is no rating possible on the second screen,
I tried to import them all with a 'rejected' flag, then show that ONLY,
and go thru and mark the accepted ones. That would NEARLY serve as
well as my previous scheme.
No go, no way to tag all imports as rejected or accepted. Crap.
So.
Now, call up six images on the main screen.
They show up on the secondary screen, with no star ratings.
Clicking on the reject button does NOTHING.
All six images still there.
instead, I tried using the P and X keys -
with only ONE image highlighted on the secondary screen, ( you can do
that, you can see it's the one focused on: it has a white border
around it.)
clicking P will make ALL of the images disappear from the secondary
screen, BUT, NO ACTUAL change has been made to any status.
The images are still showing on the main screen. If you change the
selected flag status to ACCEPT. or flag, they do NOT show up on the
main screen.
If you change it to show rejected images, they DO show up.
It seems there is no actual communication between the main screen and
the secondary screen. Nothing done on the secondary screen, where the
images
can be seen MUCH better and larger, is sent to the program.
In short, EVERY possible way to continue working more or less the same
way I did before has been closed off to me.
No way to shoot 6000 images in a weekend, and cull them in less than 5
or 6 hours, now. Something I could do in less than two hours before.
Yeah, i'd say this was important to me.
Since I got the program (less than two weeks), I've shot more than
10,000 images, and spent WAY too much time culling the output.
Dysfunctional I said, and that's what I meant: It DONT WORK!
at the end of culling the set,
Never messed with Rej/Acc flags, since the logic did not work for what
I needed to do.
on the main screen, -
I have tried to do the standard recovery mode where you hold down the home button and plug in the USB but Itunes is not recoginizing the phone. How can I fix this issue?
Hello there, Itraziel.
Thanks for providing further clarification on your issue. The following Knowledge Base articles offer up some assistance depending on which Operating System your computer is running:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
If you are still unable to restore the iPhone, this article may provide some more information:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
Use recovery mode
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Use iTunes to restore your device.
Thanks again for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

What is the difference between the original X-Fi's and the new mode
The Xtreme-gamer and all that jazz. Is the hardware changed? For better or worse?
The only important thing to keep in mind is that the Xtreme Audio doesn't have the X-Fi processor, while all the other cards in the family do, but with variable degrees of functionality, and may or may not have some quantity of onboard X-Ram, as Xtreme as Ram can get...in other words, the cheapest of the bunch (Gamer, Music) have some functionality cut off and no X-Ram, while the most expensi've models come with more "golden sample" chips, if you prefer.
At least, that's as much as one can put together unless the manufacturer releases precise specs. -
I shot some footage in dvc pro on a panasonic DVX200, in the SQUEEZE aspect ratio. I burned it as a 16:9 project in iDVD and it plays fine on a widescreen TV. When it's played back on a standard 4:3 TV the image is squished in from the sides to fit. Is there some sort of export function to force a 16:9 ratio even when played on 4:3?
regards, Eric
G5 Power mac Mac OS X (10.3.9) 4GB ram 330GB storageWhat camera? The HXV200? That's a DVCPRO HD camera.
Yes it is, but the footage was shot in SD DVC-PRO. It cuts just fine. This is the first time that I've tried "SQUEEZE" mode. 4:3 and 16:9 footage export fine. The SQUEEZE mode appears to be an Anamorphic image when burned.
Perhaps iDVD is not up to the task.

How can I set the last mod of a file
I get the last mod of a file (advanced file I/O palette -> File/Directory info)
My problem is, that I download some files from a FTP-Server and the last mod of the downloaded file is not the same as on the ftp-server (the local file has always the time stamp from the downloaded date/time).
I can list the timestamp from the files on the ftp-server, now I wanna change the last mod from my local file in the same as on the ftp-server.
How can I make this?
Thanks

Thomas
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello TheDharmaInitiative,
The "last modified" Attribute of a file can be altered programmatically using Windows API Functions.
For LabVIEW i found a Post in a external Forum with some Sourcecode attached:

For VB a Sourcecode Example can be found here:

To change the "last modified" Attribute manually a lot of Freeware and Open Source Tools are available:

Why is the input mode greyed out when I try to create a virtual channel for my 1102?
I have set up a virtual channel for my SCXI-1102, and the input mode is greyed out with it set to "differential". I have already skimmed this forum for answers, and I have checked to verify that the mode slot under the AI tab for my MIO-E series card is set to nonreferenced single-ended mode. I then created a virtual channel with the device slot under the hardware column set to Dev1_SC1_MD1CXI-1102. At this point, as already stated, the input mode goes grey while set to differential. What's going on?
Hello,
All outputs from the SCXI module are measured in differential mode. You can still mix differential and single ended measurements (if you use the remaining channels of your daq board).
The easiest way to mix modes is with virtual channels. All SCXI analog input channels will be differential, while you can make other virtual channels differential or single ended. If you don't want to use virtual channels, you can use AI Hardware Config in LabVIEW to change the mode.
Hope this helps. Regards,

Found all the Servers that were restart without the maintenance mode were actived ?
Hi all
I was wondering if I can find a query about this request:
- Found all the Servers that were restart without the maintenance mode were actived ?
It's to make a Report To include in Reporting Services.
sorry for my English :)
Thank you very much and have a good dayHi, first if the maintenance mode is activated no events are collected, then, as example, in default rules you can see the following
Collection Rule for Windows Restarted Events that collects eventid=6005
with eventsourcename=eventlog from System
log which is enabled by default.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/support/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Windows+Operating+System&ProdVer=5.2&EvtID=6005&EvtSrc=EventLog&LCID=1033
So you can check Data warehouse DB for presence such event
select ComputerName, DateTime from Event.vEvent ev
inner join Event.vEventDetail evd on ev.eventoriginid = evd.eventoriginid
inner join Event.vEventParameter evp on ev.eventoriginid = evp.eventoriginid
inner join vEventLoggingComputer elc on elc.eventloggingcomputerrowid = ev.loggingcomputerrowid
where eventdisplaynumber = '6005' Order by ComputerName, Datetime
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2007/10/18/useful-operations-manager-2007-sql-queries.aspx
So if you see this event it means the server was restarted and the maintenance mode was not activated.
Also keep in mind that there can be other event ids when computer is restarted, as example see the rule

My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.
Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
