Express and Extreme - is there a better way than WDS?

Hi all
I have a UFO extreme (connected to the modem) and an express set up for WDS to extend the range of the network. The performance is terrible. Is there a better way to extend the network?
Could I connect the express to the extreme via a CAT5 cable? If so would this provide better performance and - how would I set this up?
Regards
Stephen

Ensure that your Airport Express is placed correctly.
Also check for interference.

Yes this will provide much better performance. WDS effectively halves the bandwidth and can be more susceptible to interference than a single base station.
and - how would I set this up?
You would create a roaming network. The remote Airport Express would be configured as a wireless bridge (not distribute IP addresses), it would (like WDS) use the same network name and wireless security as the main base station, however unlike WDS it needs to be on a different channel.

Interview editing question - is there a better way than what I am doing?

I've got a skype interview I am editing, and I want to cut between a side by side shot (shown below, exhibit A) and a centered full screen shot (shown below, exhibit B).
I need to keep the audio and images synced across all shots. Additionally, I'll have a motion background that I want to keep synced as well.
What I am planning to do is just stack all the shots on top of each other, so that all the motion and audio stays in sync.
Then to change between shots, I was thinking I might just "Blade all" at the spot in time where I want the different angle, and then delete the unwanted portion of footage.
I wonder if there is an easier way?
Actually in thinking about it, I wonder if I can take the two side by side shots, make a compound shot, then combine that shot back with the two orignals for a multicam clip?
If that works, it would be easier for sure!.
Any other ways this would commonly be achieved?
Oh and one more question...
My whole reason for wanting to switch from the side by side view to the individual views, is that I want to put in some lower thirds and I couldn't come up with a good way to do that on the side by side and have it look right - Are there any commonly accepted techniques for dealing with lower thirds with side by side interview footage?
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:

Thanks Russ H and Ross H!
I'm finding Multicam, combined with Compound Clips to be extrememly efficient.
I started with 2 different video clips, along with 2 different audio clips.
Layed out both clips side by side (visually, they are on top of each other on the timeline),and made that a single compound clip.
Then I laid out both audio clips on top of each other on the timeline and made those a compound clip.
So now I have
2 original individual Video shots
1 compound video shot of the 2 above side by side.
2 original audio tracks
1 compound audio track
Next I made a multicam track, and added to it all 3 video shots (2 original + 1 compound) And I added the compound audio track. I set that audio track to be "the" track.
It's just a little bit of setup, but really not that bad, and the ability to use the multicam feature to switch between shots, while keeping everything in sync is fantastic!

I am having trouble transferring files from an old MacBook (2007) to a MacBook Air over a wireless network. The connection was interrupted and the time was over 24 hours. Is there a better way to do this? I'm using Migration assistant.

When I share a file to YouTube, where does the output file live? I want also to make a DVD. And is this a best practice or is there a better way?

I want also to make a DVD, but can't see where the .mov files are.
And is this a best practice or is there a better way to do this, such as with a master file?
thanks,
/john

I would export to a file saved on your drive as h.264, same frame size. Then import that into youtube.
I have never used FCP X to make a DVD but I assume that it will build the needed vob mpeg 2 source material for the disk.
I used to use Toast & IDVD. Toast is great.
To "see" the files created by FCP 10.1.1 for YouTube, rt. (control) click on the Library Icon in your Movies/show package contents/"project"/share.

Hi, I had to re install my itunes library from a hard drive to my new laptop. Now I cant sync my iphone because itunes thinks all songs are new and basically doubling all albums. Should i restore iphone or is there a better way?

Have you tried exporting a 10 second section of the footage to see if the issue shows up once the seqeunce is actually exported from the timeline. I edit on CS5 with windows 7 pro at work quite often and have no issues so I assure you that isn't the issue. I also edit with AVCHD footage when at home and work quite freqeuntly as well so I'm positive that isn't the issue. It sounds like a GPU driver has been corrupted in the way it interacts with premiere pro. What type of GPU do you have? If it supports MPE's GPU acceleration have you tried turning it off and seeing if that makes any difference?
Anyways though try to export a 10 second test section of your timeline to see if when the clip is exported from premiere it will play normally in windows media player or vlc or w/e media player you want to use. If it exports fine then you can almost be positive it's a corrupted video card driver. If that's the case I'd re-install your GPU's driver and also check your gpu makers website to see if they have a updated driver avaiable.

After saving a pdf as Excel workbook the numbers remain text and cannot be used in calculations. Is there a better way to convert into real digital numbers?

After saving a pdf as Excel workbook the numbers remain text and cannot be used in calculations. Is there a better way to convert into real digital numbers?
I have tried to convert the pdf to Word instead but same difficulty with numbers: look like numbers but not usable for calculations

Excel has a 'text to numbers' function, I would use that.

Catalog settings and meta data is there a better way.

HI
I have adobe cs4 and light room 2.2 I do my editing in LR cropping exposure web galleries and so on on, thats all well and good but any modifications i make will not show up in the bridge unless i go into light room and apply save meta data to files. I have about 400 light room catalogs as I store the catalog in the folder that contains the original image. Is there a way to have light room automatically apply meta data changes to each catalog in stead of going to catalog settings or saving the meta data to the file. its a pain in the *** to have to go into a catalog and apply all those settings if i want to do some editing in the bridge

> ...is there a better way ...
Might I humbly suggest that your multiple (400!!) catalog strategy is flawed? You have defeated the benefits of having a single database. (And those that argue a database is bad concept and a possible single point of failure are ... well ... simply wrong.)
Lr can automatically write XMP data so that Bridge can read it. But the reverse is not true. Any changes that Bridge/ACR make will have to be imported into Lr with manually initiation.
The point and beauty of Lr is that you make the majority of adjustments in Lr. It's possible to make adjustments in Bridge and have them imported into Lr but as you discovered it is not automatic. And your workflow choice makes it doubly (or 400 times) more troublesome.

I've lost iWeb and thus my web design. I must start from scratch. Should I reinstall iWeb 09 and use that, or is there a better way?

The file you really need is named Domain.sites2 which resides in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb foldler. It's independent from the iWeb application. If it's not in there do you have a backup of your hard drive from an earlier time?
Resinatll iWeb 3 from the iLife 09 disk or wherever you got it from originally and then try what's described below:
In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Is there a better way to do this projection/aggregate query?

Hi,
Summary:
Can anyone offer advice on how best to use JDO to perform
projection/aggregate queries? Is there a better way of doing what is
described below?
Details:
The web application I'm developing includes a GUI for ad-hoc reports on
JDO's. Unlike 3rd party tools that go straight to the database we can
implement business rules that restrict access to objects (by adding extra
predicates) and provide extra calculated fields (by adding extra get methods
to our JDO's - no expression language yet). We're pleased with the results
so far.
Now I want to make it produce reports with aggregates and projections
without instantiating JDO instances. Here is an example of the sort of thing
I want it to be capable of doing:
Each asset has one associated t.description and zero or one associated
d.description.
For every distinct combination of t.description and d.description (skip
those for which there are no assets)
calculate some aggregates over all the assets with these values.
and here it is in SQL:
select t.description type, d.description description, count(*) count,
sum(a.purch_price) sumPurchPrice
from assets a
left outer join asset_descriptions d
on a.adesc_no = d.adesc_no,
asset_types t
where a.atype_no = t.atype_no
group by t.description, d.description
order by t.description, d.description
it takes <100ms to produce 5300 rows from 83000 assets.
The nearest I have managed with JDO is (pseodo code):
perform projection query to get t.description, d.description for every asset
loop on results
if this is first time we've had this combination of t.description,
d.description
perform aggregate query to get aggregates for this combination
The java code is below. It takes about 16000ms (with debug/trace logging
off, c.f. 100ms for SQL).
If the inner query is commented out it takes about 1600ms (so the inner
query is responsible for 9/10ths of the elapsed time).
Timings exclude startup overheads like PersistenceManagerFactory creation
and checking the meta data against the database (by looping 5 times and
averaging only the last 4) but include PersistenceManager creation (which
happens inside the loop).
It would be too big a job for us to directly generate SQL from our generic
ad-hoc report GUI, so that is not really an option.
KodoQuery q1 = (KodoQuery) pm.newQuery(Asset.class);
q1.setResult(
"assetType.description, assetDescription.description");
q1.setOrdering(
"assetType.description ascending,
assetDescription.description ascending");
KodoQuery q2 = (KodoQuery) pm.newQuery(Asset.class);
q2.setResult("count(purchPrice), sum(purchPrice)");
q2.declareParameters(
"String myAssetType, String myAssetDescription");
q2.setFilter(
"assetType.description == myAssetType &&
assetDescription.description == myAssetDescription");
q2.compile();
Collection results = (Collection) q1.execute();
Set distinct = new HashSet();
for (Iterator i = results.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
Object[] cols = (Object[]) i.next();
String assetType = (String) cols[0];
String assetDescription = (String) cols[1];
String type_description =
assetDescription != null
? assetType + "~" + assetDescription
: assetType;
if (distinct.add(type_description)) {
Object[] cols2 =
(Object[]) q2.execute(assetType,
assetDescription);
// System.out.println(
// "type "
// + assetType
// + ", description "
// + assetDescription
// + ", count "
// + cols2[0]
// + ", sum "
// + cols2[1]);
q2.closeAll();
q1.closeAll();

Neil,
It sounds like the problem that you're running into is that Kodo doesn't
yet support the JDO2 grouping constructs, so you're doing your own
grouping in the Java code. Is that accurate?
We do plan on adding direct grouping support to our aggregate/projection
capabilities in the near future, but as you've noticed, those
capabilities are not there yet.

What is the difference between express and extreme?

I am wondering what is the difference between express and extreme and will there be any effect in performance if I am just using it at home?

I am just looking for router that gives me reliable highspeed wi-fi for personal use within my home.
Wireless performance is roughly equal between the two devices, with a slight edge to the Extreme since it uses a bit better antenna package.
If I connect the the hard drive to the extreme, does that mean I can back up all my data wirelessly through the port into my external hard drive?
Yes, if you backup manually, or use an application like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper.
No, if you were planning to use Apple's Time Machine application since Time Machine backups to a hard drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme are not officially supported by Apple.

Is There a Better Way to Work in the Marker List Window?

Is there a better way to sequentially listen to phrases one-by-one in the Marker List window? What I'm doing is Auto-Marking one single long file to break out 271 bits and save each as their own file. It's WAY faster than copying and pasting bits into new files and "saving as" 217 times.
BUT, after Auto-Marking, I have 300-400 phrases to listen to, deleting the non-keepers as I go, until I'm left with my "keeper" 271 marked phrases. But it's so tedious to move from phrase-to-phase. I have to double-click each one before I can hear it (you can move the cursor with the down-arrow, but it won't actually select the audio). So I have to use the mouse (unless I'm missing something) and double-click each of the hundreds of phrases. Then whenever I delete one (which I'll have to do about a hundred times or more to get rid of bad takes, alternates, etc.), inexplicably the cursor jumps way up the list so you have to scroll back down dozens of files to get to where you were. It took me 35 minutes to do it this last time.
Contrast that with Reaper's audition/preview functionality (which, ironically, AA has also, but only for files already saved into a folder). Once I had all the files saved into a folder, I QC'd all 217 files in Reaper and MAN what a difference! All I had to do was use the "down" arrow to advance to the next file AND have it play automatically (Audition can do the same thing with the "Open File" feature). It literally took me 5 minutes to check all 217 files that way. If AA could add that kind of functionality to the Marker List window, or if I'm just completely missing something (very possible) I would REALLY be happy.
Any ideas?
Thanks again! Happy New Years again!
Ken

Wild Duck,
That doesn't quite do what I need. My end-product is 271 (used to be 116) separate files created from one large file. That large one is made up of WAY more than 271 (the VO actor records different versions of some commands, makes mistakes, etc.).
So I need the ability to listen to each marker, and then be able to delete it if need be.
The Playlist makes this impossible in two ways. It only has 2 options for hearing each marker, and neither option allows me to delete that marker after I've heard it. It either plays them all back-to-back without stopping, or it plays each as you click the "Move Down" button. That last one would be great if showed me which marker was playing! But it doesn't, so there is no way for me to know which marker number I just heard, nor can I delete that marker after I hear it.
Sigh.
Thanks for the tip though:).

Is there a better way to do this with Flash?

I am new to Flash but am slowly teaching myself via Lynda.com etc
I have an image that I have added to a website via a content management system and want to make certain areas of that image into links to other sites.
I found this page that does the kind of thing I want to do, but it appears from looking at the source code that the person who has done this has cut the image up into several sections in order to fit it into a table: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/staffdevelopment/postdocs1/guidance
Is there a better way to achieve the same kind of effect using Flash by making ares of an image into links and keeping the image as a whole?

There are ways to keep the image whole and have portions of it linking to different places both in HTML and in Flash. In HTML you can use an image map. In Flash, you can just lay invisible buttons atop the image and use those to link.

Airport Admin loses Express and Extreme, no iTunes, no Network Printer

Ever since I have upgraded to Tiger, I’ve experienced a strange, random Airport Extreme/Express problem which I have not been able to solve. I can sometimes replicate the problem but never consistently.
Laptop Configuration: 15” Powerbook G4 running Mac OS Tiger 10.4.3 with most current patches. System is stable and manifests no problems.
Airport Network Configuration: Network is closed with 128bit WEP encryption. No other laptops attached to the network besides my Powerbook.
Base Station: Airport Express attached to DSL modem with “Distribute IP Addresses” checkbox enabled, running firmware v6.2, stereo speakers plugged into audio jack. Network access is restricted by MAC address; RADIUS not in use, default IP address scheme is used.
Remote Base Station: Airport Extreme running firmware v5.6. The Extreme hosts a HP 1012 LaserJet printer plugged into the USB port and an IP phone plugged into the LAN port.
The Express and Extreme are within 15 feet of each other and enjoy a clear, strong 802.11b/g wireless signal on Channel 1 with a multicast setting of 11, interface robustness enabled and transmit power set to 100%.
Symptoms: iTunes loses its remote speakers setting; I cannot print to the network printer attached via USB to Airport Extreme; Airport Extreme and Express do not appear in Airport Admin Utility….yet I can access the network via the Powerbook, I have full internet access and IP phone can make calls. I just can’t print to the network printer or use AirTunes.
Troubleshooting: I can restore all functionality if I perform a hard reset of the Airport Express Base Station then re-import my saved Airport Express base station configuration settings. I typically look at the Airport Admin Utility to determine if functionality has been restored. If both the Airport Express and Extreme appear in the Admin utility, all is well. If they are not there, sometimes a laptop reboot will restore them, other times they will not appear when the Admin Utility is opened or when I rescan. If a rescan fails, I can access the Express and Extreme by typing in the IP address and password. Then each will show up in the Admin Utility and I can make changes and restart the devices. Even with a device restart, they will not automatically appear in the Admin Utility.
I first thought the problem was associated with the laptop going to sleep but this is not the case. Sometimes when I reset the Base Station, re-import the configs and reboot the laptop, I am able to automatically see the Express and Extreme in the Airport Admin Utility. Other times I can’t. Sometimes my settings will last a few days and I’ll enjoy full functionality then they will disappear. Other times they will disappear immediately, even with a reboot and a reset of the Express and Extreme.
If I use a 3rd party utility called Cocktail and reboot, I can restore functionality. Cocktail will delete all user, system and kernel caches, delete all log files, rerun disk permissions, and run the daily, weekly and monthly Apple Kron maintenance scripts. If I reboot after running Cocktail, my Airport Extreme and Express appear in the Admin Utility. Thus, I think the problem may be associated with a Airport Extreme cache file becoming corrupted or deleted upon reboot…….but I am not positive.
If there are any Airport experts out there, let me know what you think. I love Apple, I love my Mac and my little Airport Network…….but this is ******’ me off! Thus my plea for advanced geekery review and assistance.
Talk to me!

If the Airport Admin Utility cannot automatically "see" your Base Station, you have a big clue as to the cause of your problems. On a private LAN, it should never be necessary to select "Other" and manually type in the Base Station's IP address.
The most likely cause for the Airport Admin Utility not being able to automatically "see" an Airport Base Station - is a firewall on the Mac that is blocking it. Any of the following are possible:
- you have installed non-Apple firewall software on the Mac
- you have installed so-called "internet protection" software on the Mac
- you have installed "internet monitoring" software on the Mac (like "Little Snitch")
- you have installed VPN client software on the Mac - and many of these applications install their own firewall
All this stuff needs to go, since it will cause all sorts of trouble with communication between a Base Station or Airport Express, and a Mac.
I'd also be very worried about what this "Cocktail" utility is really doing to your system.

Is there a better way to position a flash movie than ap div?

I'm creating a new website(not yet active) and have a great flash movie for the home page. I've place it in an ap div and of course it moves to a different position in different browsers. Is there any way I can get it to display correctly, or is there a better way to position the movie? Thanks.

Is there any better way for updating table other than this?

Hi all, I need to update a row in the table that require me to search for it first (the table will have more than hundred thousands of row). Now, I am using a LOV that will return the primary key of the row and put that primary key to DEFAULT_WHERE property in the block and execute query command to fetch the row that need updating. This works fine except that it require 2-query-trip per update (the lov and the execute_query). Is there any better way to doing this? This update is the main objective for my application and I need to use the most effective way to do it since we need to update many records per hour.

Thanks Rama, I will try your method. Others, how to query row instead of primary key? I thought that querying primary key is faster due to the index?
BTW, what people do if you need to update a table using Form? I have been using the LOV then execute query since I first developing form. But I am building a bigger database recently that I start worrying about multiple query trip to dbms.
FYI my table will have up to million rows on it. Each row will be very active (updated) within 1-2 weeks after it creation. After that it will exist for records purposes only (select only). The active rows are probably less than 1% of all the rows.

Express and Extreme - is there a better way than WDS?
