Encoded video does not have expected data rate
Hi
I've been encoding with Flash Media Encoder (CS3) recently
and come across a contradiction which I can't seem to make sense
of. Can it be possible that the longer the video, the harder it is
for the encoder to maintain data rate?
This was revealed when I started using FMS2 (space on a
shared server as opposed to my own server). I encoded a video at
what I thought was a data rate which was within my data rate limit
for my stream and it stuttered on playback over the stream. The FMS
supplier informed me that the FLV I thought I'd encoded at 400kbps
video 96 kbps audio actually had a data rate of around 700kbps in
total. But if I open the video in a FLV player, and look at info,
it still shows the setting I originally intended. However, my
supplier suggested checking data rate using this equation:
(filesize in MB x 8)/videoduration in seconds = video
datarate in kbits/sec
If you apply this calculation to my video it does indeed show
what they said:
Using Flash Media Encoder:
Encoded at 400kbps video - 96 kbps audio
Compressed filesize = 26,517 kbytes
Duration = 240 seconds
CALCULATION GIVES DATE RATE OF 880k/b a second
(note file contains an alpha channel)
Furthermore, applied to a shorter video, we get the following
more logical results:
Encoded at 400kbps video - 96 kbps audio
Compressed filesize = 6,076 kbytes
Duration = 90 seconds
CALCULATION GIVES DATA RATE OF 527 kb/sec
(no alpha channel)
The only differences between the two vids is the alpha
channel and the duration. Somethings doesn't add up here.
Any clues?
Thanks
Simon
I've just partly answered my own question. Funny how writing
a post can help you think your problem through sometimes.
The issue is the alpha channel, which adds to the file size
thereby making the data rate "incorrect". In other words, the same
file encoded without the alpha channel provides the expected
results. I guess this changes my question to: How do I create
predicatable data rates when encoding using an alpha channel. I
could just estimate of course and see what comes out, but is there
a better way?

Clean up old SID values from an InfoObject that does NOT have master data
I have a characteristic infoobject that does NOT have Master Data but it has a SID table. I assume that it is used primarily for the F4 value help. Now we have changed some of our data for this infoobject in R3 so that some of the values in the SID table will never be used again. My problem is that these values are still displayed in the F4 value help. And because the old values are very similar to the new values some users mistakenly pick the old value and then the query results come back empty.
FYI - The datasource that uses this infoobject as an attribute is extracted from R3 in a Full load each night. So there is no risk that the old values in the SID table will be needed in any Master Data/Cubes/DSOs/etc.
Is there a way to delete the unwanted SIDs from this table /BIC/SXCSAOFREG? Or is there some way to make sure that the unwanted SIDs to not show up in the F4 value help?
Thanks,
DaveHi David,
Goto SE14 trans --> ENter the table name as /BIC/SXCSAOFREG. Select the "Edit" radio button. Then Select "Delete Data" radion button & click on "Activate & adjust database". But be very careful NOT to click on Delete Database table(This will delete the physical database table!!!

HT1976 why is my iphone 4 does not have cellular data network only cellular data
why is my iphone 4 does not have a cellular data network and apn only cellular data without apn settings,thanks
# Settings > Refresh apps on background. I would suggest to completely turn that off
# Settings > Privacy > Location tracking > Only Maps, Google Maps are allowed to use location tracking in my case, you could also turn that off completely or be very selective which apps can use your GPS.
# Settings > E-mail, calendar .. >deselect 'Push' and set it to either Fetch e.g. once an hour for all separate e-mail accounts you have. In your case you could set it to Manual so you won't use any data as long as you won't open your E-mail app and manually download e-mails.
It could also be that there is still an app running in the background as i had. See also this post.
In that case you need to dive into the Settings > General > Info > Diagnostics and Use >
Diagnostics and Use >logs per app to determine which app isn't closed although you turned off your phone (or even in my case reset to factory settings without backup). It's unfortunately pretty hard to find the app that is causing this. Therefore i wish Apple would come up with a better solution for this to see which processes/app(s) should be killed (now the best solution is removing the app completely). -

Hi beingkejo,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Toggling Airplane mode and cellular data are good troubleshooting steps. If your iPhone still does not connect to cellular data automatically when Wi-Fi disconnects, I recommend the additional steps in this article:

Nothing. If the carrier does not unlock the phone you cannot. Only the carrier can unlock it and Apple does not and never has unlocked the iPhone.

Query for file version less than 10.0 does not return expected data
I'm trying to build a query for all PCs that have a version of Iexplore.exe in c:\windows\program files\ that is less than 10.0 . When I run the query it returns no data. When I change 10.0 in the query to 9.9 it returns files with version 10.xxx in
the results. Its as if it is seeing 10.0 as 1.0. Is this expected ?
select SMS_R_System.Name, SMS_R_System.ADSiteName, SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileName, SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileVersion from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile on SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where
SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileName = "iexplore.exe" and SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FilePath = "C:\\program files\\internet explorer\\" and SMS_G_System_SoftwareFile.FileVersion < "9.9"It is because the values are not integer, they are a string. And therefore 1 is smaller then 9.

Hello All,
I am working on reading TDMS Index files into Matlab. So far i have been fairly successful in reading them when the data has been acquired for a short period of time (checked at 2 min). However when a 15 minute data has been acquired, in a few segments the meta information is not present but a variable in the header info for that particular segment says raw data is present. Does anybody know if sometimes meta information is not available but the raw data is actually present (segment wise) in the TDMS file?
Many Thanks,
VThat means the segment shares the same meta information with the previous segment. It doesn't have any new properties. Its raw index information is the same as previous.
You could use the meta information of the previous segment to read the raw data of this segment. Hope this helps,

No Rate. Foreign currency invoice does not have an exchange rate assigned to it.
Hi,
working in oracle applications 11i.
We have encountered the above issue in an invoice. I have run autorate request and I can see that the invoice and all its distribution lines has the exchange rate. but when we submit it for validation it shows the error:
APP-SQLAP-97634: The invoice XXX has an accounting hold and is pending cancellation so you can no longer submit it for validation. To have the system automatically validate the invoice and complete cancellation, please either manually release the hold, or correct the errors that caused the hold then cancel the invoice.
Any ideas?
Thanks & Regards,
AbeerHi Abeer,
In Support, we would get an aplist of the invoice and provide a data fix to reset the invoice back to the state before cancellation was attempted. If any one in your organization has access to Oracle Support, they should log a bug for this data fix.

Condition does not show expected data
Hi specialists,
I obviously have got an understandig-problem with conditions in BEx-Analyzer Report.
Let's say I've got the CompanyCode, Year (characteristics) and "Quantitity" (Keyfigure) in my Report. I want to use a condition for only showing those rows where the quantity is < 10.
But the report shows me only those rows where the result-rows are < 10 .
The result-row and the detailed rows (for that result-row) are visible in the report.
Example:
without (aktive) condition:
CompCode Year Quantity
DE 2005 8
2006 12
result 20
FR 2005 4
2007 3
result 7
with aktive condition:
FR 2005 4
2007 3
result 7
Wanted Result (show only quantities < 10):
DE 2005 8
result 20
FR 2005 4
2007 3
result 7
My question is not about the result line (I've seen that there're lots of questions and answers about unexpected result lines in this forum).>
Sreeman wrote:
> Please ensure that you have defined the condition this way

That's my setting.
Otherwise even the unexpected result wouldn't make sense, would it?
> Characteristics , you can select Company Code
Want to use that condition for every navigation, independant from a concrete characteristic.
So I choose "all characteristics independently"
Edit:
It seems as if the condition would first evaluate against the result-row.
--If the test is successfull, then it is evalutated against the detailed keyfigures of this result-row.
--If the test fails, then the detailed rows aren't evaluated anymore.
But I need the detailed rows to be evaluated independantly from the result-rows.
Hiding/Disabeling the result-rows doesn't help - even worse - it throws an error.

I have a new computer and have installed iTunes on it.
Now I want to sync my iphone but the new itunes on the new computer wants to remove everything on my niphone and replace it with what's on the newly installed itunes data but it does not have my data.
How can I sync the new itunes with my iphone and not have my phone data wiped out?
Thanks,

There is no way to stop iTunes from doing exactly what it is designed to do.
The iPhone is designed to sync with one and only one computer.
If you have moved/copied your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, then iTunes wiping your device is no problem. You would simply sync and iTunes will put all the content back. -
I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
ThanxI can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...

Currently I am away from home, and using a computer that does not have my main itunes library on it. I do, however, have some video files on this computer that I would like to place onto my phone for the drive home tomorrow. Unfortunately, It seems there is no way to do this without completely wiping my iPhone and replacing it with this computers empty library, as the "manage content manually" feature apparently requires me to do this. Is there any way to just add some mp4s to my iphone without erasing all of its data?.
