File format question h264 /Blurry MPEG 4 output

"The codec with the best quality to size ratio is H264" was suggested for me to use when making web movies. This may be a stupid question, but is tehre any other file format (other then MPEG 4) that will play on an iPod and other digital media players. My Mpeg4 looks blurry and I really don't know why. I input h264 video into iMovie/ FC Express and the edit. When I export to MPEG 4 the video is blurry. I am only going down in physical size so pixelation is not the issue..(i think).

You see aac and h.264 are not editing formats in the FCP world. Easiest is to convert them first. It's very easy. Go get a copy of MPEGStreamclip and convert them to something useable, like ProRes LT. Then just import them, and drop one into a timeline and let the timeline adjust to the footage. You do not have to setup one of the easy settings in order to work.

.AVI file format question

Upgrading from CS2 to Photoshop CS5
I found out after the fact that in order to edit video you need CS5 Extended.
So, I then went and returned regular and upgraded to Photoshop CS5 extended.
(See my other thread for details, but installing the 12.01 patch is not an option at this time.)
Try to use file open to open a .AVI file from one of my cameras and get a message of "unrecognized file format".
Was able to import the 7 second video into layers.
Checked support issues, and installed Quicktime 7.6.8
Also, due to 12.01 issues, reinstalled Photoshop CS5 Extended AFTER upgraded Quicktime to 7.6.8
Machine specs: Toshiba Satellite P30 Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.60 GHZ (Hyperthreading Dual Core) 2GB RAM ATI Mobility Radeon X600 Win XP Professional SP3 About 12 GB disk space available at install time.
Note that Quicktime will open the .AVI file in question with no problems, as well as Roxio software (trying to get rid of that with CS5)

I talked to support via phone and it appears the the problem is in installation. The install of CS5 extended did not take over the regular install. So, I need to start by completely uninstalling AGAIN and installed extended from scratch AGAIN.
I did try the program mention GSPOT as well. It says AVI codecs are installed on the machine inquestion. I will get more informaiton tonight afte rI do the re-install and see what happens.

File format question

can anyone explain the differences in a swf file, a gif file, and a svg file? when would you use one over the other and which is smallest? I get confused about these. Will all of these take transparencies? Thanx for any help.
red

Well, this question cannot be answered easily. It all depends on specific use cases. Let's see:
GIF - Bitmap format. Limited to max. 256 colors. One of those colors may be tagged to be interpreted as transparent by browsers and image viewers. May contain animation by ways of separate, discrete frames. The color palette is distributed to the animation, hence the more differnt colors are used, the more dithering will occur and the uglier it looks. als file size increases considerably, the longer the animation.
SWF - Flash container file. Objects embedded are treated "as is", meaning they are animated procedurally while the file plays. The objects themselves can be pixel images, movie clips, vector art or Flash-internal parametric items. No limitations in color palette or duration, file size only increases the more objects are used. Since the animation must be calculated in realtime during playback, variations in speed may occur, depending on the machine performance.
SVG - Vector based. May contain animation. Rendered on the target device, hence simialr rules as with SWF apply. Support in browsers however is very limited, so it is not widely used. Primarily used on mobile phones for icons and graphic elements (SVG tiny)

Mac OSX file format questions

I am using Quicken 2005 and these days I backup my accounts to my USB flash drive. In the past i backed up to zip disk or floppy. backing up to a floppy would be problematic since the Mac version has never supported multiple disk backup which the PC version even to this day still supports. And besides floppy disk access has always been slower and more problematic on the Mac for some reason.
Okay here is my question.
My quicken files end with a Backup-file.qdfm extension.
But whenever I upload these files (sadly they have to be dragged an dropped with Fetch) they appear as a folder on my FTP server. So I have been using the classic version of Transmit instead of the native OSX version of Fetch to upload my Quicken backup accounts.
My question if I ever had a major disaster (this has happened before) would the folder (what it appears to be) on my FTP server save me or should I be zipping this quicken file before I upload? I have been using Quicken since 1998 for the Mac and PC, and have thousands of bank transactions that are valuable and that I do not want to lose.
Encase you cannot understand what I mean here is a screen shot. The file above is the Quicken 2006 file, and the one below is a older Quicken 2001 file that I uploaded when I had my Performa.

Thank you,
John

One way to know for sure would be to download the file (folder) and open it in Quicken. Of course I would make and keep a backup on your local drive before doing this.
Like you I have been using Quicken for many years but I back mine up to another hard drive, then I back everything on it up on a regular basis to a CD. I also use .Mac and the backup program included with it to back up my Quicken files off site. The .Mac solution is automatic, and takes place daily which is nice.
"But whenever I upload these files (sadly they have to be dragged an dropped with Fetch)'
Do you want to automate the process? If so, that is what Automator and Applescript are for. Surely you could write a simple script to do it for you.

Write to text file formatting questions

Apologies if I am touching on a subject discussed elsewhere. I have two issues, which I believe to be related, that I am having difficulty overcoming. I am collecting voltage date, converting it to a temperature, and then writing the time stamp, temperature, excitation voltage, and original voltage to file. Currently, when I write these values to file the date and time appear on one line, the temperature and voltages appear on the following line, and then there is a space before the pattern repeats. Furthermore, before data is collected I write information to a header, and if you look at the attached .csv file, you'll see that the data is all offset one column to the left. Any ideas how I can solve this problem? My code probably speaks for itself, but I am very much a novice so any general insight in non-jargon terminology will be humbly accepted. Cheers, Peter.
Solved!

Your problem is where you are building your data line. Why are you using Build Array and then Inster into Array? You don't want arrays when writing to the text file. Each element of an array will be a different line. What you really want is Concatinate String. Use the Concatinate String to build a string with your timestamp, a comma, and your "spreadsheet string" that contains your data.

CAP File format questions !!!

I've been trying to parse CAP files, but having trouble figuring out these values...
In Method component: what is the number of elements in "method_info methods[]" array???
in method_info: what is the size of bytecodes[] array???
in type_descriptor_info: what is the number of elements in type_desc[] array???
many thanks

See the JCVM Specifications, the size of the structure arrays u have mentioned is not specified. If you parse these files u can do it with the help of Reference location component. If you use the pointers in C it will be easy as compared to Java.

Record Audio in mp3 file format using FMS

I am Recording Audio Using FMS which will record Audio file in FLV File Format default But I like to Record in MP3 File Format. Is it Possible.
And I also Record Video In MP4 File Format using h264 encode. Which Give me Video File in MP4 File Format but When i will try to play that MP4 File it Didn't play. So, I post-processed video with a tool called F4V Post Processor. Now That MP4 Video File Play But Didn't Give me Sound in that Video.
My Code is:
        var h264Settings:H264VideoStreamSettings = new H264VideoStreamSettings();
        h264Settings.setProfileLevel(H264Profile.MAIN, H264Level.LEVEL_3);
        ns.videoStreamSettings = h264Settings;
        ns.publish("mp4:"+FILENAME+".mp4","record");
I search Lot but didn't get the solution. So, Please Give me Solution for Both thing.

The .flv format is a "container" format, not a video format.
So that means that inside the container, you can have a video file and/or an audio file or even just an audio file.. which most likely is already an mp3 file. Use something like "FLV Extract" to break open the container and see:
http://moitah.net/
But really, for any Web delivery of audio, the .flv (audio only) method works just fine. Lots of media players available for the Flash .flv file.
For example:
Sounds from my bunk on the Lady Washington
http://exploreolympics.com/reports/?p=2857
Scroll down to third media player.
A little quiet to start with... but this is a .flv file with just an mp3 audio file inside.
Best of luck!

Convert pdf xstring to pdf file format

Hi, All,
Could anybody know how to convert xstring(hexadecimal format like 255044462D) to pdf file format? I have to output pdf xstring which generated in SAP to XI, then output PDF file. Thanks a lot!
Marea

From what I've understood from Michal's blog code, it will depend on the format that you choose for the file to have.
In his case, he used
type = if_ai_attachment=>C_MIMETYPE_JPEG
In your case, you could use the equivalent type for PDF files.
If you search for the IF_AI_ATTACHMENT interface in SE80 (ABAP Workbench), under Attributes folder you'll be able to see the constants which are defined in the interface. And there you have C_MIMETYPE_PDF (associated to the content-type 'application/pdf').
I don't know whether it is possible to do the type association using the RFC payload (probably not). The ABAP Proxy attachment seems to be the best approach.

Henrique.

Output report data to excel file format or csv format

Is there any way to save softcopy of report output to excel file format or csv format.

Hi,
Regarding csv file format, i have no issues. The file is generating without any issues in using oracle reports without using any PL/SQL code.
My requirement is to design oracle reports to generate excel (.xls) file with multiple worksheets. Each sheets are having many data and graphs(chart).
Using oracle reports alone, how to achieve this.
In oracle reports 10g 1.2.0 version, I tried by creating .rdf file but, it is generating single worksheet only.
In oracle reports 10g 1.2.0 ver, I tried by creating .jsp file. For this first i am creating excel template about how my ouput column headings all that going to be with one sample hard coded data and save the excel file as web page.
Eg employee.html.
Next open the html file in oracle reports builder and double click the websource now, you will see the jsp tags, html and xml tags. Now include the contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel " and charset also.
Next, include the <rw:foreach id="G_EMPNO_1" src="G_EMPNO">
here insert the fieldl for each column by removing the hard coded values.
close the tag
</rw:foreach>
Save the file as .jsp and deploy it in oc4 enabled folder (say, devsuite_home/reports/j2ee/reports_ids/web
Start the oc4J server
Run it in the browser http://server:port/reports/emp.jsp?useride=uid/pwd@db
It is invoking the Microsoft excel with 3 sheets default and my emp table output in the first page.
We can save this output file as .xls file by clicking file -> save as.
1) The question is, it is working fine with Microsoft excel 97-2003 version. But for excel 2007, i am not able to create single html file like how 2003 save web page option.
2) I found this in oracle getting started demo
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
Which is more useful. This is what i am looking for.
I done that in excel 2003 as per demo. But excel 2007 with reports 10g issues.
Is there any demo for 10g with excel 2007
3) For most of excel issues working fine with excel 2003 and 10g. But excel 2007 with 10g reports are issues.
I want the excel output from oracle reports with multiple worksheet similar to the above demo.
Thank you.

Changing the file format of spool output when scheduling a background job.

Hello Experts,
I have an issue. It is related to Spool output format. I created a job for one report program for which the output is a list output. I have added one recipient in the 'Spool list recipient' while creating the job SM36. After the job is finished the spool output is sent to the recipient mail id as .htm format as an attachment. But the attachment should be excel sheet or text file. No coding in the program should be used to convert the file format. Only settings in the spool while creating job should be manipulated. Please help me in solving this issue.
Regards.

Hi Sunil,
You can use the logic for converting spool to PDF using program : RSTXPDFT4 . Alternatively you can use FM: CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF . In this FM you need to pass the Spool id .
u can make use of these FM's SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
Check out the following wiki:

hope this will use full to you.
Thanks!!

HT3775 Hi, my mac which is on 10.7.5 osx. but when ever i insert any mpeg/avi video cd it shows the file format not recognized. i am fed up of this. plz somebody help me. what should i do now.

hi,
i am using 10.7.5 lion there are a lot of problems in this OS.
like most of the programs quit's unexpectedly. some programs does not work on it. like adobe cs5 is not working. everytime time when i do click on adobe cs 5 icon it shows a message "To open “Adobe Photoshop CS5,” you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.To install a Java SE 6 runtime later, open “Adobe Photoshop CS5” again" while i always remain connected on the net.
2. when ever i insert an avi or mpeg video disk it shows the file format not recognized. to **** with this macbook pro n its 10.7.5 lion. the same disk works/runs on windows on windows systems.
plz somebody help me what should i do now.
[email protected]

it sounds like a fualty installation of Lion, this may happen from time to time.
The best thing to do in this situation is to reinstall Lion. You will not loose anything doing this, but you should always keep back ups of your information.
http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
basically hold Cmd+R on boot..
first go to disk utility, verify and repair your disks and permissions. Exit out of Disk utility and then go directly to "reinstall Lion"
choose that and let it reinstall.
Adobe CS6 does need Java to run.
To play your movies you might need to get an application called VLC. VLC is a free app and will play most videos and music files you throw into it.

you have a 64bit intel mac, so get the one for that.

Question about TIFF file format

None of the forums seems to be right for my question, this one seems the best suited...
Why does Mac still use the TIFF file format for things like Grab, etc.? JPG is a more commonly used format, but I do understand why the TIFF file format is better from a quality perspective.
I'm just curious at my end, that's all. I don't mind using TIFF.

But, if I understand things correctly, if you now select a JPG of zero compression, it's evolved into a potentially lossless file.
Close, but not quite. If you start with a TIFF and save it as a maximum quality JPEG (level 12), then lay one on top of the other in Photoshop and zoom way in, you can find a fair amount of pixels that have changed values. Not anywhere near enough to notice any difference in a printout or visual color. They still do take up less space than the original TIFF.
Of course, if you'd rather the image didn't change one iota and still save space, then save the TIFF with LZW compression.
