H.264 Questions and Feedback

Hello Everyone,
I was wandering if I encode a home movie via compressor or even quicktime pro via mp4 using h.264, let's say i encode the same file at 1000 kbps using only the "main" profile and then I encode the same exact file at also 1000 kbps using the "baseline" profile only. Will there be a difference in quality? Will the file I encoded with the "main" profile be better of better quality? Thanks.
Nicolas

you complicate things too much. To encode for multiple devices is inane. Sit back and think, what are the uses for the encoded files. I chose m4v as much as I can. Plays fine on my 23 inch Apple HD display. Plays fine on my ipod Classic. Plays fine on my Panasonic plasma TV through the ipod.
Pertaining to HD then I would convert to the min requirements of Apple TV. 720p
That would be enough work for anyone.
You are not going to get HD out of an ipod. Heck most .m2t files from TV streams are less than 640 x 480. They look good on an ipod. AND try MPEGStreamClip or Handbrake instead of QT Pro. I have QT Pro and never use it.

IWeb question and feedback

I've been testing iWeb '08 and putting it through its paces. It really does a good job if you know what you are doing. It is way more capable then the easy templates reveal. But first I have a question.
If I want to include an external javascript file with a page, how do I get iWeb to publish it with all the other data? Right now I have to manually copy it to my publish folder after every time I publish. Not a very elegant solution.
I also have one big request for the next version of iWeb. For some pages, I want to make the browser background transparent. HTML allows this but not iWeb. iWeb only offers a solid color or image. It would be so easy for Apple to include a "none" option for this field like they do the page background. Here's why this little detail is so important.
When I use HTML snippets, I can put one iWeb page within another using iframes. I also overlay iframes for various effect. I need the embedded page browser backgrounds to be transparent so when the inline frame refreshes, the browser background doesn't wipe the iframe clean each time. This is what it does without the transparent option. It makes the whole inline frame look like a refresh instead of keeping the existing objects solid, except for the specific objects I want to change. It may seem a small detail but this goes a long way to making the site look solid and professional. Using transparent iframe overlays allows me to do some pretty nifty looking pages.
Right now I have to post-process my files using a utility that does a multi-file find and replace. It is fast but it still is a hack job - not very Apple-like or elegant. What I end up doing is having every page that I want to be transparent use a certain known color code (ie. #000000) that I then search for and replace with the word "transparent". This does the trick, but again, not the way things should be with Apple software.
This change I'm requesting in iWeb is not anything unreasonable or hard to implement. One Apple tech could do this in about 5 minutes. This opens iWeb up to doing iframes elegantly and enables iWeb to do amazing things without post-processing hacks. I know Apple wants to keep things simple but this one change does not jeopardize this for beginners, yet opens things up to us who are capable. It could make complex pages simple.
Actually, I wish Apple would go even further and add a new option at the bottom next to web widgets. Call it the iFrame, or subpage, option. That way I could do inline frames without even resorting to HTML snippets. Have the details come up in the inspector too. This is more complex to add but even a more elegant solution. Newbies and simple templates could ignore this function but advanced web designers would flock to it.

You are just talking to other users here, so make sure you also put in all your requests to Apple via the Provide iWeb Feedback item in the iWeb menu.

Adobe Support Availability Questions and Feedback

I am currently having an issue with Adobe Shape not saving/syncing to my CC Library, on a Saturday evening here in the U.S.A. I decided to contact Adobe Support. After navigating to this page:
I clicked on chat as was recommended. I tried to be more specific about Adobe Shape, but when I clicked on choose a different product, it just looped me back to the start. (At the start, though many other mobile apps were available to select, neither Adobe Shape, nor Shape, was available.)
After waiting for almost an hour in queue, I was informed that I was chatting with the installation dept, and should try chatting again during business hours, as chatting about troubleshooting a specific issue or product is not available during non-business hours.
If this is indeed the case, then why was Chat recommended to me after I selected troubleshooting? Why is there no mention of this on any of your support pages? Displaying this fact somewhere in your Support pages might greatly shorten your weekend and night queues greatly.
I'm also wondering, is this is a policy change? I do seem to vaguely recall getting support through chat for specific issues during off hours in the past.

neat. here is the Adobe SendNow app I've never heard about.
I'd sure as hell rather be using this than yousendit! I've been paying them 50 bucks a month and don't enjoy the service at all.
this would be another good thing to have tied into our cloud homepages. you could see your file upload, confirm they got it. blah blah.

I think I'm closer to finding the basecamp thing.... maybe its called echosign... no.. workspaces? yes.
Adobe workspaces is the BaseCamp of Adobe that I was looking for.

Mac mini questions and advice.

i'd like to eventually purchase a mac mini, but is the apple care protection plan worth it??? sorry multiple questions will a fully loaded mac mini 160 gb hard drive and 2 gigs of ram be an improvement over my current set up... pentium 4, 1.60 GHz.... 1.59 GHz, 512 mb of ram... 70.2gb hard drive
one more question, will there be any trouble hooking up the mac mini to my 32 inch sony lcd.
sorry for all the questions, would appreciate any advice and feedback.

Can you give us the model number of your 32 inch Sony lcd? The Mini supports resolutions up to 1920x1200. We need to find out what kind of beast your 32 inch Sony is; it sounds kinda big for a regular monitor -- more like a TV display.
Hard to say if the Mini will be an improvement over your PC, unless we know what programs you want to run. It would obviously be an improvement in term of security; you won't be worrying about keeping virus definitions up-to-date every week.
I use a KVM switch to run my Mini and a PC with an IBM keyboard and a Dell LCD monitor. I had to experiment with several models of KVM to find one I liked.
I also use Parallels to run Windows and Linux directly on my Mini at the same time I run Mac OS. Useful for work-flows that require Mac and WinXP/Linux programs simultaneously.
You can buy and register AppleCare anytime during your first year of ownership. AppleCare gives you access to phone support, which might be useful to a first-time Mac user. You can buy AppleCare for less from some on-line retailers -- for example google for lacomputercompany. Be sure you buy the correct AppleCare for your Mac.
Wireless generally works fine, though some non-apple wifi routers with old firmware have issues. In instances of range or compatibility problems, often a wireless ethernet bridge can solve the problem. These are inexpensive and involve no software, since they plug into the mini's ethernet port.
If you are doing massive one-time file transfers, I'd strongly recommend connecting your Mini directly via ethernet cable to your router. This will save time and eliminate several possible sources of trouble. Save the wifi for your web interactions after you transfer the bulk of files from your PC.
Regarding pictures and music ... if they are in standard formats like mp3 and jpg, then iTunes and iPhoto should be able to import them just fine. If the music is protected by Microsoft's "plays-for-sure" digital rights management scheme, you may be out of luck. If your music is already in iTunes for Windows, also no problem.
Although you didn't ask, at some point you may need external storage for your Mini. Be sure to get an external drive that supports Firewire. This is preferable to drives that just support USB, though you can get models that support both. Firewire will be significantly faster and more reliable with your Mac.

I forget my security questions and i want to rest them..?

I forgot my security questions and i want to rest them again

i am also having this problem. I click the already the send to email but no feedback..

My Questions and My Watches should be on main forum page.

One of the primary things people do on a forum is ask questions and then come back to see if they got an answer. It is, after all, the purpose of the forum!
So, why is the link to "my questions" buried under My Control Panel instead of immediately available to us when we enter the forum?
For people who are on slow internet connections (that's most of the continent I'm on, for example), unnecessary page loads are a real burden.

I do not believe anyone on this thread has been rude.
This is the feedback section of the forum, and that's what was supplied.
The posts stated what was needed, why it was needed, why the current layout was not optimal, and why the suggested workaround was not useful.
As they used to say on an old tv show, "Just the facts, ma'am."

Architecture forum contains non-archit. questions and spam

Hi,
The Architecture forum sadly is made of with a majority of questions that have nothing to do with architecture. Please forgive me if this has already been reported.
e.g.
"how do I allocate 1TB of memory"
"how do I detect DVD insert"
"whether one should call Dispose()"
This really is not architecture but more like technical questions better suited for win32, .net or hardware forums.
to make matters worse, nearly every 4th post is spam relating to DVD ripping.
Could we have more control over content in these forums. Thank-you in advanceMicky D

Hi Cara,
Perhaps you misunderstood. I'm not 'asking a question' but rather 'providing feedback' on the junk posts in forums.
I would have thought the forum Suggestions and Feedback for the Forums for my complaint would have been the correct forum don't you agree?

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

I have no "Rescue email" contact in order to reset my security questions and I don't believe I ever answered any security questions when I created my Apple ID for Itunes. Someone kindly sent me Apple support link but to no avail! Please Help me!

I have no "Rescue email" contact in order to reset my security questions!! I've been trying now for 4 days to contact Apple/Itunes but I only get sent answers from a support team that say they cannot help me with my problem!!
The thing is that I can't ever remember answering any security questions and without a rescue email, I'm unable to reset them or even set them for the first time!!
I can't believe that no-one from Apple/Itunes can help me with this simple problem but unfortunately that is the case - Incredible, isn't it!!!
Would anyone know how I could solve this problem online??? Because each time I sign into Itunes, the same security questions reappear and reappear and reappear. In fact I've got to the point where I feel like uninstalling Itunes and downloading an alternative.
Many thanks

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset, help!

I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset because I do not have a rescue email. what do I do?

this does not help. I have forgotten ALL of the answers to my security questions. I can NOT reset the answers to my security questions without answering two of the three security questions. The other way to reset the answers to these questions is for apple to send me an email on my rescue email addres which I DO NOT HAVE.
