First time PC build. Please help.

So first off I'm pretty amateur. I have been running Pr elements on an old destop for a while and putting together a few little DSLR projects. Im starting to get a few more serious projects and need to upgrade things. I was tempted to go down the Mac route but have pretty much opted against that. I am planning on getting Production Premium, as I can get student pricing. Going this route I really need a good computer that I can rely on to cut and color quickly. Keep in mind that Im not doing anything really fancy. Mostly simple edits with coloring and other basic effects.
This is what the computer shop recomended based on what I thought I needed. The price came out a little higher than Id like, so any recommendations would be really appreciated. I am really not much of a computer guy so I have no idea if there are any problems with this setup. Is it too much for what I'm doing? What would you do to make it better?

I agree with Harm... I have Win7 64bit Pro and CS5 Master Collection and MS Office Pro and "several" other, smaller programs on my boot drive... and only 60gig is used... I do have my work load spread across 3 drives
My 3 hard drives to edit AVCHD are configured as...
1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320Gig data for Win7 paging swap file and video project files
When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folder and files
3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files (*)
(*) for 4 drives, drive 3 all source files & drive 4 all output files
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows paging swap file

Unless you are on a "business enterprise network" where you need the advanced features of Ultimate, all you need is Win7 64bit Pro
Even if you are not going to overclock your CPU look into a better cooling aftermarket CPU fan
Be sure you have plenty of "large, quiet" case fans

First time Java user- please help!

This is my first time using Java. I'm trying to teach myself the language and ran across a problem. Here is what my screen looked like:
c:\jdk1.4\bin>javac -source 1.4 OurFirstProgram.java
error: cannot read: OurFirstProgram.java
1 error
I would really appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks.

That's because your OurFirstProgram.java isn't in the directory c:\jdk1.4\bin. Thank goodness - it shouldn't be.
First of all, make sure you've got two environment variables set. I'll assume you're running Windows on an NT/2000/XP box. Go to the Control Panel->Settings->System and set these:
(1) set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.4
(2) set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
Once you have those, open a command shell, navigate to the directory where OurFirstProgram.java is, and type:
javac *.javaThat should put OurFirstProgram.class in the same directory as your .java file. Then type this to run it:
java -classpath . OurFirstProgramSee if that helps. - MOD

First time compressor user, please help!

Hi,
I deal with raceway video and have recently switched editing platforms. I've figured Final Cut out O.K., but every time I use compressor, my video comes out looking horrible. My projects are usually two hours long. What I've been doing is going to the best quality 120 minute setting. What I'm confused about is when I go to the Quality tab after I've selected that option, at the bottom of the tab it says "allows up to 94 minutes of video". Now, I've never tried compressing on the best quality 120 minute setting without changing the bitrate because it seems to me the file size would be too big if the bit rate "allows up to 94" minutes. My usual action is to adjust the average bitrate until it says "allows up to 126 minutes of video" to give my self a little room, but the video looks HORRIBLE. I've heard many different things from different people and I think I'm officially lost. My previous editing platform didn't have a problem putting two hours of video on a dvd without much quality loss, but the video I'm getting from compressor isn't acceptable.
All I want to know is how to get two hours of video and a menu onto a DVD without horrible quality. I know I have to be doing something wrong.
Thanks for listening to my noob question,
TT58

I appreciate your problem.
Many people who use these systems are not putting out such long programmes and obviously they do not understand these problems and so this is a neglected area.
I have posted on this before and no one up to now has satisfactorily explained this:before the mac I have made DVDs of longer events (1.5 -2 hours) using a stand alone DVD recorder on SP. I am not saying the pics were perfect but they are a jolly sight better than what I am getting out of this system. No one can explain why the compression seems to take so much out of the quality. And the way you have to calculate what settings to use to try to get as much on in the best quality is bizarre and very hit and miss. You never really know whether it is going to fit until you see that little icon in DVD pro with the total gigabyte count and even that is a bit vague.
As a newish user, this has been my only gripe with the mac system which otherwise is fantastic. However, the customer only sees the finished result so this issue is important.
If you are not bothered about fancy menus for your kind of work, you might be better just playing out through a break out box into a stand alone DVD recorder - the Panasonics are excellent (PAL)- however be warned that there is a problem with the Miglia Director's Cut box on the G5 - my only other frustration!
So like you, at the moment I am putting out inferior quality to what I was doing before and not finding many answers. Your problem is made worse because you will have a lot of fast moving stuff.
There has been talk on the forums that compressor is not that good and we should be looking at other software - can someone recommend something specifically?

First time motion use, please help.

I have recently installed Final Cut Studio 3 and currently using motion, following an online tutorial.
I have also downloaded Noise FxFactory.
Can someone please tell me how i can import Noise FxFactor (or any other material for that matter) into my Apple Motion Library.
Thanks
Jordan

hi,
if you have followed the installation instructions for FxFactory then all the bits and pieces should be put in the correct places. the filters should all appear in the filters list, either in the pop up menu form the tool bar, or in the Library pane under filters. All Noise Industry filters appear in a folder starting with the letters NI. The generators appear in the generators section of the library.
Are you not seeing this?

Installing Tiger 10.4 for the first time with 4Gb (PLEASE HELP)

Ok hey, I would like to install Tiger on my mac g5 but there is a problem I have about 4 GB of hard drive space left on my drive. Will this cause a problem? or will it actually free up space once I installed it.
I also have some files that I would not like to become altered (music songs in logic etc) when I install this system is there a possibility I could lose work or subject to structure change?

And HFS+ just hates having less than 15% free space, too. The more fragmented, the more likely you could lose the directory itself.
When you restart etc the system flushes any unsaved writes out to disk, and it could just die there.
At less than $0.50/GB for storage, buy some backup drives
And with 4GB of RAM, and swap files (files, they start at 64MB and double) it is unlikely during an install there will be ANY. Always good to restart before even running updates. RAM helps with the install to decompress files, not disk drive - because during an install, you are booted from DVD and it can't write to DVD or to hard drive for swap files. Temp files, yes, and usually it can be 3x larger than the file.
250GB drive should have more like 40GB free unfortunately. And that is based on MicroMat's in-house testing. They use to have a forum on MacFixit, unfortunately that is gone and moved to their own site and they didn't migrate their own thread discussions (wealth of info there I use to link to).

First time to build computer - Need help

Hello, I just finished putting my computer together. It was my first time and I think everything went pretty well. I just finished putting Windows XP on it. However, I have a few questions/problems still:
1) Whenever I turn the computer on it still has a screen with Platinum on it saying tab to post | del to enter bios. Is this normal?
2) After that screen goes away, it stops loading and says "Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP" and I have to make a selection.
3) After I press F1 to continue it says Press<Ctrl+S> or F4 to enter Raid Utility, but I dont have any raid stuff. If i leave it alone, then it enters into XP
4) After XP loads, if I try to goto my computer I get a blue screen. It says MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION on it towards the top. Towards the bottom it says
*** STOP: 0x00000009C (0x00000 and some more numbers). How do I fix this. I don't know if this helps, but I have a 200GB harddrive that was brand new, and whenever I booted with XP CD it said it only saw 131,000+ MB. I said to format anyway, hope that didn't screw me up.
Thanks for the help.

1. It's a normal default setting for the bios screen to show the logo. I personally don't like it, so I turned it off. You can access it in the "Advanced BIOS" page of the bios.
2. Something must be in error to have the system stop booting. The bios only stops on errors. I wouldn't be overly concerned yet though. Default settings on the board make it stop on all errors. It should give you a reason why it's stopping so look at the screen when it stops and tells you to hit F1. That should give you an idea of what needs fixing.
3. Just turn off the RAID function. It's in the "Integrated Peripherals" screen.
4. Could be any number of reasons, checking your memory would be a good first step. As to Windows only seeing it as 131GB, that's probably because you installed with an older version of Windows XP, before SP1. Back then it couldn't see drives bigger then around 139GB. Install SP2 and you shouldn't have a problem. Just make sure that your BIOS sees it as 186GB. That's what 200GB drives usually show up as.

Trials and Tribulations of a First Time MSI Builder

I'll try to keep this short and sweet (IMPOSSIBLE!), but hopefully this may make sense to some of you out there who have sought and found solice here on the MSI boards....
First off....I'm a first-time MSI MB user.....my system specs are as follows:
Voyeurmods Verge X case
MGE Vigor 500 PS
Athlon 64 2800
MSI K8T Neo FSRII
1 gig Kingston 400DDR (KVR400X64)
1- 80 gig Barracuda SATA
Thermalright SLK948U and TT UFO fan
Aopen DVD/CDR combo drive
TT Hardcano 12
Enermax 6 fan controller
Asus 9800xt
Audigy Platinum
and assorted other fans, belts, and whistles......
Now...the story and the point behind this post:
I have only built one other comp....2.4 Pentium Platform......nice, stable rig.....a few extra goodies to qualify it as a "semi-mod"...but it was a great system to cut my teeth on, and in all fairness, I had a lot of extra help with cables/bios/cpu install, etc. I wouldnt call it a "from-scratch" set up...Never one to NOT jump into the deep end of the pool, I decided to move up a bit and try a new build from scratch....I wanted a decent rig...strictly gaming......as close to state of the art as my budget would allow, but I was prepared to make exceptions......
My original MB of choice once I settled on an Athlon 64 was the Abit KV8. It was a great-looking MB; I thought the OATES cooling system was a significant upgrade from a lot of others...and I liked their "UGURU" system management tool...unfortunately, the Abit MB is now sitting in a trash bin....I have to say that, all emotion aside, Abit wont be seeing my cash any time in the future.....to call the OATES system a total failure would be an understatement...only AFTER I started reading the Abit boards did I realize that virtually every builder was removing the plastic OATES shroud and tossing it away.......the screw alignment in the OATES portion of the board, coupled with almost any aftermarket HS/fan alignment warps the board slightly and doesnt allow multiple sticks of memory to sit properly in the slots......if you folks think thats a joke, just check out the Abit forums.....I'd say that right now, the negative reviews of the KV8 boards are surpassing the "positive" reviews by a ratio of 2 or 3 to 1. And then try RMA'ing the board once its warped!
Now granted, the Thermalright SLK puts a hell of a stress load on the CPU section of the MB through sheer weight alone, but the MSI board, TO ME, seems to be a bit "beefier"....a tad thicker in construction. I dunno...maybe its the layout, or weight distribution. But I digress and this was "supposed" to be short and sweet....
Many hours of bareboning the build with the Abit board resulted in me switching manufacturers and trying MSI. Everything I tried....all the tech support....all the forums and Abit messageboards.....litterally swapping out every piece of equipment....nothing got that Abit board to boot up. I was getting error messages that werent even acknowledged by the manufacturer! Folks, you have NO idea how much better a product MSI is putting out compared to Abit.
For starters.....the board sits damned near perfectly on the standoffs.....one does NOT have to remove the video card to get at the memory slots (the Abit board requires MOST if not all video cards to be removed if swapping memory in slot 1)...the layout of the SATA and IDE brackets seemed a bit more ergonamically proficient on the MSI board.....about the only thing that appealed to me (initially)more on the Abit board was an "on board" LCD error check system that seemed to be a bit easier to use than the MSI D Bracket system. I say "seemed to be", but again, going back to basic board layout and design, the LCD's are virtually covered by the IDE cables that have to sit over the LCD's because of their close proximity to each other. Nice idea. Poorly executed.
So....if any of you first-timers have concerns about choosing the MSI board, start breathing easier.....once I switched boards, and used the exact same components as my first try with the Abit board, the K8T Neo started up first time out of the box.....everything about this board (knock wood), so far, has been great, and I also have to say that the help that all of you here dish out has made this experience nothing short of amazing.
Jocko, whoever the hell you are, you are my new Obi Wan Kenobi! Your advice in a few threads to newbies like myself was so damned "dead-on" ....so accurate...its like you know these boards and systems from the circuit on up! And I have to thank you right now for helping me even though we never exchanged emails or posts......many, many, many thanks!
Also, Mike...your thread for first-timers......it should be part of the itinerary for ALL newbies. Thanks for taking the time to share....
Finally...some additional thoughts that may help others ( or may not):
1. Configuring the BIOS is, to me anyway, always a bit scary. I like pointing and clicking...I hate pressing enter and using arrow keys...there are just too many damned choices and I'll always wonder if I made the right ones......scan back a few threads and search out any of Jocko's advice regarding the initial load of Windows and SATA drives...he makes this part easy. Also, there are several websites that give advice on optimum BIOS configs....you can find many links here on these forums.
2. If any of you want custom modded cases at decent pricing, dont be afraid to use Voyeurmods. Everything about Brian and his crew is top notch.....the customer service....the shipping.....the Verge X case is simply perfection.....I cant say enough nice things about them.
3. Kingston memory can be purchased directly from their USA website at fairly discounted pricing from just about anyone else on the web.....I paid $139.00 for 2 512 sticks of 400 DDR(not per stick...$139.00 total) a while back...pricing changes weekly so if you like Kingston product, check them weekly for specials...so far it has worked perfectly in my rig, and because you are buying direct, the warranty is as good as it gets.
4. The Thermalright SLK 948 is one hell of a heatsink, and the TT UFO fan that sits on top of it makes for one nice combo! My CPU refuses to overheat under load, and I cant say enough about how easy it was to install on the board. If any of you want a superb aftermarket product this does the trick nicely.
5. Any idea why the 2 power slots on the MSI MB are on opposite sides of the board? That was the one glitch I found on these boards that Abit did right...place the 2 power connections side by side for better cable management.
6. If on the first power up the entire system stays dark, chances are it AINT a bad Power supply...more than likely its front panel headers in the wrong slots..check your wiring. If there is just a slight glimpse of power and it cuts out immediately, its almost assuredly wrong wiring....the PS is shorting itself out.
7. On the HOT topic of power supplies....my MGE has 20 amps on the 12 volt line...I know, I know....its barely adequate to some of you....but I have to say this in as nice a way as possible: folks, it AINT always the power supply when a problem develops. I have read countless.....COUNTLESS posts/threads on both Board forums where a problem is "diagnosed" as being a crappy power supply. Some folks wont even discuss any other issue until a different PS is installed. The sad/funny thing is....if you read back through the threads here, as well as the Abit boards, I'd say 90% of the solutions to the problems didnt end up being the PS at all! Its more like: 30% user error....20% memory...10% CMOS clearing....20% component failure(including MB)....10% CPU seating.....10% PS.
8. Do....regardless of how much extra work is involved here....DO utilize a barebones build BEFORE you install in the case and hook up all the peripherals.....it cuts out SO many potential problems before they happen, and just makes so damned much sense. I know its extra effort, but if youre a first timer, and you want that first boot to take place; you want that main screen once you press "DELETE", this is the way to go.
9. Clearing CMOS. LOL! Yup......oh the errors of first- timers like myself!!!!!! Dont even bother posting here until you make sure you cleared the CMOS properly, and if youre not sure how, dont be afraid to ask stupid questions like I did here.
10. Dont be afraid to use cardboard as your anti-static material under a barebones...it works well...costs nothing...and your only potential issue is heat build up if your CPU freaks out.
11. DONT overuse your Artic Silver 5 on the CPU.....forget all the advice about "spreading out evenly" a thin layer of silver all over the CPU cover.....use the "grain of rice" method in the center.....a very small amount spreads out like you cant imagine! After I removed the HS from the CPU on the Abit board, I couldnt believe how thoroughly well the paste had spread over the CPU cover. If I had used more, or spread it out, the TR SLK would have forced it well over the sides of the CPU.
12. DONT be afraid of the BIOS. The MSI manual actually does a pretty decent job of guiding one through the initial set up, and YES...do NOT forget to press F10 to save all your changes.....it took me a couple of tries to make sure the changes "took".
13. DONT panic if you miss the F6 move on Windows install for SATA drivers.....it seems that on XP home, pressing F6 when prompted to made no difference.....30 seconds later the "add 3rd party drivers" screen comes up anyway.....for reference sake, my total Windows XP install took 16 minutes from start to finish.
14. Loading the VIA SATA drivers at that point in Windows is tricky for one very simple reason: the floppy doesnt have any "scroll down" arrows for multiple driver install. They are hidden UNDER the initial screen....press "S" when prompted for the initial driver....and then scroll down under the first batch to find the second one...highlight it and press "S"....dont panic if the screen doesnt change immediately...it "feels" like Windows lags a bit but the screen DOES change.
15. SATA cables dont always "sit" snugly in Barracuda drives...I tried 3 different cables from legit manufacturers in 2 different Seagates....they all fit...they all work...but just a tiny amount of pressure unseats them....use caution and try to keep any other cables from pressing OVER the SATA near the HD.
16. Bench test your system for at least 24 hours of continuous useage before you move it or do anything else with it......it just makes sense to see if anything shorts out or heats up......
Feel Free to email me ([email protected]) if you have any questions or want any ideas.....MSI has made my first real build a blast!

Building a hp8673C driver (first time driver builder, coaching appreciated)

I've got a HP8673C Synthesized Signal Generator, communicating with Labview over GPIB-USB-HS cord (Labview 8.6.1 on Windows XP). There is no existing driver, so I am setting out to build one. I have never built a driver before, so here it goes.
What I've done so far:
Downloaded and installed the NI-488.2.3.0 driver.
Watched the NI presentation on the Instrument Driver Development
found the operating manual for the device (link) on the Agilent website.
created an instrument driver project, made an icon, and started testing the codes.
First question: Why does the error query vi have a loop in it? When I query the message on my device ("MG") it returns a 2 digit number error code. "00" is no error, and any non "00" code is an error. When there is an error (say, "20"), then it never stops the loop of the error query (because the return number is not equal to zero). It seems like I should just take the loop out, but I wanted to check why it was there in the first place.
Second question: Using the NI-488.2 Communicator, I query the device "*IDN?". It returns "FR03000000000HZ"; this also resets the HP8673C, and shows the error corresponding to "Invalid HP-IB code" on the device... any ideas what's happening here? Is there something I should be doing to EOS? I don't really understand what the EOI is or what my device requires.
Any help is greatly appreciated. In doing this project, I am hoping to learn more about how Labview works too, so feel free to point out things that I should know in general, especially if I'm missing steps. I hope it helps other first time driver builders too.
Attached is the driver project as it currently stands (mainly so you can check the error query vi if you want to).

The basic approach you are taking is the right one, since there are no existing drivers for that instrument. There are for the 8671, but I don't know how similar those instruments are.
The first thing you have to keep in mind is that the instrument you have is old. Very old.
The second thing you have to keep in mind is that the instrument driver project wizard creates a template based on an instrument that uses the SCPI standard. The instrument you have does not use the SCPI standard. Thus, several things that the template creates will simply not work correctly for the 8673C or won't apply.
With respect to your questions:
The Error Query has a loop since that's what most SCPI-based instruments work. They will have an error queue, and querying for an error will return the first error in the queue. You then repeatedly query the queue to get the next error until you get the response of "+0, No Error".
The *IDN? query is a SCPI standard. Your instrument does not support SCPI, so it does not know what that command even is. Instruments from that era had commands which were two or three characters long.
The Initialize VI performs an ID query (which you would need to chage to reflect the 8673's actual command and response) and then performs a reset or default setup. The Reset VI sends the *RST command, which, again, is a SCPI command. You would need to change this to the appropriate reset command for the 8673. A quick look at the table of commands seems to indicate it's probably the "IP" command. The default setup just sends REN which is remote enable. I think the 8673 should be OK with this, but you'd need to confirm it by looking at the manual. But then maybe you want the "IP" command here instead.
What I would suggest doing is to make things simple by creating individual VIs for each command that you are likely to use. This will allow you to test things one at a time, building up a usable library.

Time Machine Error - please help!

My dad has been having trouble with his Time Machine backups. I'm trying to trouble shoot, but can't seem to solve the issue. Whenever we run a backup we get the message: "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume" It happens fairly quick after we run a TM backup. Here's what we've done:
1. Repaired permissions on the internal drive (several times)
2. Started a brand new TM set-up and back up.
3. Erased and reformatted the external TM drive
4. Tried an entirely different external drive as the TM drive
5. Trashed the/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file and restarted
6. Downloaded the Time Machine Buddy widget to see if that reveals anything. Here's the error message:

Please help......!!

Hi Pondini -
thanks for the reply. Your troubleshooting User Tips was what I was referring to all along. I've seemed to have resolve the issue, however, by means of a far simpler solution. I noticed just recently that although the external TM hard drive seemed to have no apparent issues when verified and repaired with Disk Utility, it did hang up and produce some Error messages when simply trying to copy large files manually over with the Finder (not using TM). This caused me to think that maybe it was not TM, but rather something wrong with the data being copied (corrupt files) or the actual drive enclosure. It wasn't the actual hard drive inside, as I had earlier swapped the original drive in the enclosure with a drive that I knew was OK and the problem still occurred. I then noticed that the drive enclosure was connected to the computer via a Firewire 800 to Firewire 400 adapter cable (the enclosure has only FW800 port and the older imac has only FW400 ports - my dad had purchased that specialty cable). When I had earlier swapped drives to check the actual drive, I kept the same cable connection. I now tried reconnecting the drive with a simple USB cable - and wallah! - all my Finder copying worked and Time Machine copying seems to be going fine. SO it seems that the actual FW cable connection was causing issues???? TM is still chugging away at the moment (first copy - large amount of data), but seems to be doing fine. Is there anyway I could have gotten a clue that the problem was something so simple as a bad cable. Is FW more buggy than USB. Maybe those that adapter cables are buggy. I've always preferred FW as I thought it was the faster more reliable method of external HD connection - but maybe USB is a better choice. Obviously here it is. Thanks for the help.

Loading the final static variables at run time.. Please help

Hello, fellow developers & Gurus,
Please help me figure out the best way to do this:
I need to load all my constants at run time. These are the public static final instance variables. The variables values are in the DataBase. How do I go about loading them.

Your original question was diffeent, but your further posts show what you really want to do:
1) all constants in 1 class
2) available readonly for other classes
3) updatable during runtime by changing in the database
Did I understand you right?
Then smiths' approach solves point 2):
Instead, make the variables available through a method
call - that way you avoid the whole final variable
versus read-only attributes problem.
//GLOBAL VARIABLES EXPOSED AS PUBLIC PROPERTIES
public final class GlobalProperties
public static int getTableSize();
public static int getRowSize();
Each "constant" should be a private static variable, and these methods simply return their values.
The variables are initialized in a static initializer by accessing the db. Ok.
You habe a table with one row containing as columns all the constants.
A method readConstants() does a "select constant1, constant2, ... from const_table" and sets all the variables.
The static initializer calls this method.
Right?
Ok, then you simply call readConstants() everytime you want to synchronize with the actual content of const_table.
Was it this?

I'm trying to print out a credit card statement from my iPad, it only prints the first page not 4pages, please help

I'm trying to print out a credit card statement from my iPad, it only prints the first page not the 4 pages, please help

I read your first post when I was posing a separate question on the Mac Pro board. I now see that we may be talking about printing from an iPad with Airprint instead!!!!! I very much suspect the print command and settings are different for Airprint but I have never used it to be able to offer concrete advice. I think the setting choices could be different even with Airprint on the laptop and further that you may not even be using Safari but some special app???
I've not heard or seen the term "frame" in the context of printing before except perhaps in the context of a screen shot. Is the credit card statement a "pop-up" of some kind rather than a webpage or pdf?

First time PC build. Please help.
