File compression in Mavericks: can you control the compression rate?

Hi all,
Is there anyway a user can control the commpression rate in Mavericks. I previously used Stuffit Expander and the built in compression in Entourage 2008. As Mavericks has its own compression utility I cannot find where you can control the rate etc.
I have removed Stuffit Expander 2010.
Regards
Bob

Not via the GUI. However, the Terminal command compress does have a compression ratio setting. Launch the Terminal app in /Utilities and type this into the window that pops up:
man compress

Can you control the OS Volume from Flash

hi guys, Can you control the master windows OS volume from
within flash.
My understanding is that within the soundobject.volume, 100
mean 100% of the current windows volume setting.
Can control the windows setting seperatly as well (the same
way you could/can in Director)?

Yes - the JavaScript that's in export.js was rolled into inline code in the Java jar files sometime during version 11.5.
It's no longer customizable.
An option is to use HTTP Filter on your Java Web App to modify the outgoing JavaScript instream, but that's never a pretty solution.

Can you control the Discoverer Portlet Size on the Portal Page?

I have a Portal Page and I need the ability to control the Portlet size. The width seems to take on the dimensions defined for the region, but how do you control the dimension for the depth/length. Thanks.

The size of the container is controlled by the Portal Page author through Portal, not the Discoverer Portlet. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how to control this and it may be different from 9.0.2 to 9.0.4 (not sure which version you are using). You can check on the Portal forum.

Can you control the gain of the mic on imovie .

when i record my electric guitar its always too distorted.but if i could control the mic gain it would be cool.I have an Imac 7

Ok I can do that but i like to see the video of my performance because sometimes you forget hoe to play it when its very complicated ,I have garage band and pro tools.does garage band have a video recorder as well or just audio?

How can you control the order of video tracks?

I have an iDVD project with an intro movie (movie played when the disc is first inserted), 5 20 minutes videos (each of which is an individual iMovie project with chapter markers, but the videos are meant to be watched in order 1, 2, 3, 4, then 5), and an addition 5 minute video. When I created the disk image, I noticed it started encoding the last of the 20 minute videos and then seemed to encode the rest of the videos in random order.
I burned the disk image to DVD and started watching it in my DVD player. When you watch the first 20 minute video, when it finishes you return to the menu so you can choose the second 20 minute video. But, if you scene skip through a 20 minute video on the last scene, it takes you to the next track. The problem is the tracks are all in random order. So instead of scene skipping to the next 20 minute video, it takes me to the intro video, then to 20 minute video, ect. It's all out of order.
My question is does anyone know how to control track order? Is the track order the order in which the videos are encoded? (It seems to that is the case.) I tried inserting the videos into the iDVD project in the order I wanted them, but I don't know if that will work or not. The assets all appear in random order in the Project Info window.

I would like to know also. I have made many DVDs, but the number order does seem to be random. For presentation purposes I want to play a specific clip by hitting it's corresponding number on the DVD player remote when the DVD is at a complete stop (so if I put the movie clip in the 2 spot and hit the number 2 on the remote, then the 2 movie clip will play). I can get this to work from the menu by dropping them in iDVD in the order I want and waiting for each to encode before dropping the next, but at a complete stop I cannot ensure number 2 on the remote will play number 2 on the DVD. To me it looks like iDVD gives those numbers in the order in which the audio is encoded when burning, with the shorter clips first and longer ones last.
Can anyone help me?

Can you control the volume of individual songs on CDs you burn?

I’ve got one song that’s very “hot”- plays a lot louder than the others. I’m able to control the individual volume through the Info/Options/Volume Adjustment during playback, but when I burn a CD the playback remains unchanged- one track is still too loud. Any ideas?

Can you adjust the frame rate with quicktime?

I need to slow the frame rate on an .avi file, and I can find how to do that in big chunks, but how to fine tune. Is this possible on the latest release (just downloaded it) and if not can someone tell me what I can use to change the framer ate on the .avi itself (either way is fine)
I am SO not tech savvy so please assume you are replying to an idiot but thank you very much in advance for any help.

p.s. I discovered that holding the option button and the fast forward give me this control for speeding things up, but I can't figure out how to slow it down - sorry for the missing info

Can you slow the scan rate of VI Logger scans per minute

Can you set up a logging task with VI Logger to log 1 scan per minute? I'm using a DaqCard AI-16E-4 and SCXI 1120 Module.

What do you mean by VI Logger? The easiest way to do what you need is to create a while loop and put in it one of NI's "easy-IO" analog input VIs and a wait function set to 60,000 milliseconds. Depending upon the acquisition VI you use the result would read either one point, or a set of predefined points once a minute. (see attached code)
How much more complicated the application would get depends on such things as what exactly you want to do with the data, and how you want the user interface to react. For example do you need to save the data? If so, you'll need to add a file save function to the loop too. Also, the simple version I attached could take as long as 2 minutes to quit once you press the stop button--which probibly wouldn't be acceptable.
The point is that the basic functionality you asked for is very easy to do. The complicated part is defining all the other stuff that wraps around that simple functionality.

How can you control the export types from DHTML output?

I am currently using the JRC from CR4E V1 patch 7.
When I generate a report as DHTML and use the export button I am presented with 5 export options:
Crystal Reports
Adobe Acrobat
Microsoft Word - Editable
Rich Text Format
Comma Separated Values
I would like to control which of the 5 options are presented to the user. I was looking in the crystalreportviewers115 folder for some JavaScript that could be edited. I found export.js which appeared to have code that was creating the choices for a dropdown (getFormatDropdownList()), however this code did not get executed when I ran the export.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard

Can you control the alpha of an input text box?

Using Action Script, I mean?
If I put a ball on the stage and make it a movie, I can make
it vanish by putting
ball._alpha -= 100;
If I put an input text field on the stage and reference it by
name that doesn't work.
If I turn the text field into a MC it STILL doesn't work.
Heck, if I put the text field in the mc with the ball the
ball disappears but the text field is still there.
How do I use AS to make an input text field disappear?

nevermind, I'll just get creative.
if the damn thing wont VANISH when I want it to, I'll create
the same effect by knocking it the hell off the stage
textField._x -= 1000;
LOL!

Can you control the display on a Keithley 2400?

I have created a VI to control a Keithley 2400, but the enduser also wants to see results posted on the actual device. Is this possible?

Hi dt 1804,
Thanks for the post and I hope your well today!
I just had a read through the commands (from keithley website) and I couldnt spot anything that would display results - so I guess not. Unless there is some manual option..but Im afraid I wasnt up for reading the massive manual!
Surely if your using LabVIEW there isn't much point seeing the data on the device...
Kind Regards,

Hi, got my macbook pro today and i wonder if you can save/convert or just open files from pages in Microsoft word? i know you can open word files in pages but can you do the opposite?

I just wonder how it works.

No, ypu need PAges to open Pages documents. Pages can open Word documents. Do you have Pages? If so which version?

Can you control the timing of the Ken Burns effect?

I've been experimenting with the Ken Burns effect, using it on video clips. By default, the KB effect starts at the beginning of the clip and finishes at the end.
I would like to the KB effect to start at a certain point in the clip and finish at a certain point in the clip, leaving the image zoomed-in (or zoomed-out) at whatever point I choose to stop the effect. Is this possible? If so, how? I would think maybe I could do it with keyframes, but I can't figure out how.

LOL--I just bought some more tutorials. I will say that learning FCPX is vastly easier than trying to learn FCP6 was. For me, there's no comparison. Trying to learn FCP6 was horrible. This is fun. I know it doesn't have all the features many of the pros want, but it is fantastic for my needs. It is much more intuitive, but I guess I still have to put more time in.
I just tried your suggestion, and it works fine, thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. I really didn't like trying to use Transform because I was having to expand the image beyond the frame size and it just seemed like a very crude way to do what I was trying to accomplish.

Can you control volume without using side controls?

Can you control the volume without using side controls?

Or, if your iPad is asleep/locked, double click the home button and you'll get an on-screen volume control and play/pause iPod controls (no need to unlock).

Can you change the date sort direction in Photos?

In iPhoto I had my events sorted by date such that the most recent events came first (at the top) and within the events ordered the other way round, i.e. earlier photos at the top of an event. Can you control the sort order of events in the new Photos app to this degree?
At the moment when I look at the events album that has been imported I can only seem to have the events sorted by name or in date order with the older events at the top.
NB - Does anyone else think "Photos" is a really dumb name for the app when you consider trying to use any search engine to find information about it?

when i changed the date forward.... like 20 years forward, it locked and i have to activate it but i cant :S
