Has anyone here used JDO?

If so, can I please discuss with you how you felt about it, and if you have any recommendations for me?

Sorry, Mr Abba!!!Thumb. Squish. Drag.
Somehow, I expected that reaction.now, now, I was only joking around with him...I like
him cos he always answers my questions and does not

Has anyone here used Premiere CC for historical documentaries and similar archival-heavy projects?

Is anyone here using Premiere CC to edit a PBS-style historical documentary? I'm thinking of an American Experience episode or something similar. Something with thousands of photos and hundreds of low-res archival screener clips that will all have to be replaced with high-res masters for the online, etc.
I ask because I work as an assistant editor for this kind of show, and all the projects I've worked on have been in Media Composer 6.5 or MC 7, or occasionally in FCP 7. But I love using Premiere when I edit my own (non-broadcast) projects. And several producers I know are wary of staying with the discontinued FCP 7, don't like FCP X, and aren't thrilled with Media Composer either. So...I'm wondering if Premiere is a viable option for us.
Please note that I do NOT want to have a general discussion or flamewar here about which NLE is "best," whether Adobe's rental system is good or bad, or whether FCP X is brilliant or a disaster. I really don't want to talk about any of that.
Instead, what I DO want is to learn from those of you who have tried it, how well in practice does Premiere CC work in this kind of project? Specifically:
1) Does it work smoothly with EditShare so multiple editors can work together?
2) How reliable and straightforward is the offline/online workflow (so that screener footage can be replaced by master footage, etc.)?
3) Associate producers and archival researchers often ask me for EDLs of the latest cut (which I clean up in MS Word to make more readable). How reliable is EDL export from a complex Premiere project?
4) We often work with online houses that rely on Avid Symphony for color correction. Is that a no-go for a Premiere project? Or is there some way to get from Premiere into Symphony? If not, is Resolve the preferred tool?
5) We typically keep a Filemaker Pro database to keep track of stills and archival footage. Can we import a lot of image metadata from Filemaker into a Premiere bin the way we do with MC 7?
5) What other issues and problems have you faced in doing this?
6) On the flip side, what are the real advantages?
Again, I'm interested in hearing others' personal experiences. I can read online a lot about how it's SUPPOSED to work. But in my experience, there are always quirks and issues that are not in the documentation that you can only learn through trial and error, or through asking here on the ever-valuable and helpful COW.
Thanks in advance!

We do - but generally with a different workflow. I can't answer all your questions but a few thoughts. ps. We mostly do short —not feature length— projects.
• For online we most often export the sequence (or a series of sequences) at PR444 with an EDL. Haven't found an online house primed for Premiere in a way that would make it easier than that. (again: generally 5-10min long projects.)
• Premiere CC 2014 is a nightmare. CC was great. But recently upgraded to 2014 and have had nothing but problems related to the app crashing. It only seems to happen on projects that include either mixed media or large files that require caching (for us .MXF files.) Haven't received any helpful advice on how to fix.
• Haven't used Avid in a while but the metadata works great for us in Premiere. The integration with Adobe Story is excellent: doc interview set-up, transcribe dialog, import into Story, synch with Premiere and: get an interactive metadata script that can be searched and clicked (word by word) to the related point in the footage.
• Have also found that the integration with AE —turning a clip into an AE composition in the timeline with one click— is one of the more flawless features. Works great for quick clean-up or adjustments to footage.
Hope this helps.

JSR 94 Compliant Search Engines: Has anyone here used any?

Folks,
We're currently migrating a 3270 application to a servlet/jsp application. As part of this migration we're
getting rid of our mainframe rules engine (largely because of horrendous licensing I understand).
I've done some research and found out about JSR 94 (the proposed standard API for Rules Engines).
Is anyone here currently using or in the process of implementing a JSR 94 compliant rules engine?
Did you decide against JSR 94?
Any input is appreciated.
BTW - Here's the link for those who haven't seen JSR 94.
http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=094

There are a number of complient rules engines. however it would seem that the APi development has
not quite finished yet (although I doubt there will be any further changes).
Part of the Reference Implementation is a wrapper that uses the Jess rules engine
http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov/jess/
Another free engine that claims support for JSR94 is drules
http://drools.org/
Please note that I have not used either of these implementations.

Has anyone here used Scribus?

Hi...I'm new. Planning to self-publish on CreateSpace, have novel mostly done (on Word), need to start thinking about what to use for LAYOUT before saving to pdf. I work on a Mac Os 10.5.
I hear that Scribus.net is pretty good, and free. So, versus Pages...? Anyone have opinions there? Or about other layout software (don't think I want to invest in InDesign...)
Many thanks,
Joyce

It is hard to get a good idea from a short play.

Anyone here using DVDSP to author Games ???

I was approached by a few clients to produce a whole series of interactive DVD games. I own a Sonic creator and SD2000 encoder system...even though scripting in Sonic creator is fairly sophisticated, it is not enough to author highly interactive games. I freelance at a few post facility with the latest Sonic HD-DVD system with Scenarist. It's a very powerful system. I'm tempted to upgrade my Creator but it is a major and VERY expensive move. Is there anyone here using DVDSP to author highly interactive games for DVD or any other authoring app you have used that's up to par for this tak ???? Thanks.

I'm using Creator 2.1.7, it's the last update before Sonic went with scenarist as their flagship. Beleive it or not, it's still running on OS9. It's a decent system, it has serve me well but it's definitely time to upgrade.
I will meet with the company on Monday and i'll know more about the project, but just from reading the script they sent me, it seems very deep...lots of programming.
I'm new to DVDSP..actually, i just got it this weekend. I was thinking of using it to author smaller projects and get another system for the high end and HD project. It's not an easy decision as what to get since the upgrade from Creator to Sonic HD and Scenarist is over 100K !!! ouch !
Anyways, if anyone here has experience using DVDSP for authoring highly interactive games and-or using it for major titles, i love to hear some feedback. Thanks.

Has anyone here tried BSD?

Hi there,
We all know that Archlinux is BSD-like.However,has anyone here really experienced BSD,like FreeBSD,OpenBSD,NetBSD......What about that?:D

I'm using FreeBSD on my desktop that I'm typing from right now, Arch is on the laptop.
About a year ago, I started to get really frustrated with Linux distros -- thanks to Linux itself. You upgrade the kernel and stuff breaks. Kernel devs implement shiny new stuff instead of making sure that it at least works. I thought that using some less bleeding-edge distro than Arch would make things better, but I can't stand Debian, Gentoo is broken, Ubuntu and Fedora are too overcomplicated for me. So I switched to Windows. I was happy for some time, but my fingers are too used to the shell, and stuff like Cygwin just doesn't cut it. Then I found FreeBSD and been using it ever since.
The system itself is very simple and clean. Documentation is excellent so there's no smashing your head against the keyboard involved. All you really get is a basic Unix system: you have a shell, an editor (vi, ed), a compiler and the base necessary tools. You then build the rest yourself.
Third-party software management is a bit different from Linux distros. Linux distros are almost all about package management. Some distros also provide shiny stuff and patches everywhere, but we're on Arch forums and we know well Arch doesn't do that: Arch merely packages stuff and makes sure the packages work well together. Arch devs don't develop the kernel, they just package it. They don't develop base system utilities, they just package them. FreeBSD, on the other hand, is the kernel and the base tools. It does provide rather simple tools for package management (pkg_add, pkg_delete), and you can optionally install the Ports Tree, which is just a system of makefiles that take care of fetching, configuring and building software for you. Or you can install stuff yourself, though that's not recommended. FreeBSD isn't about the software that you install or how you install it, it's about providing you with the base platform on which the software can run.
That said, I find the Ports Tree very mature and easy to use. You can install third party scripts that will help you with software management, like portupgrade or portmaster (the latter being my favourite). But the system itself is very simple and thus easy to understand -- there's no magic involved.
(Some posters before me have mentioned packages being outdated. You probably were running a -RELEASE version, which is all fine and great, but it also means that the packages that are fetched by default are the packages that were available and built when -RELEASE was released. You can define the environment variable PACKAGESITE to point pkg_add to newer packages. It's all explained in the handbook -- especially the grey note may be of interest to you.)
During my day-to-day desktop usage, I don't see any difference from my previous Arch desktop. I have Xfce running, with Opera, Pidgin, Transmission, ePDFReader, and a bunch of terminals. I don't like shiny stuff, I didn't have it on Arch, I don't have it here. If you want, though, you can have it, there's no difference -- GUI software doesn't usually suffer any portability problems between Linux and FreeBSD. If I sat you at my desktop, I think you wouldn't even tell this is not a Linux distro, until you typed "uname -a" into the terminal.
HAL may be even more pain on FreeBSD than it is on Linux, but I hate HAL, I hated it when I was using Arch, I had it disabled back then, I have it disabled now. I have seen people reporting they got it to work successfully on FreeBSD, though. So if you like things like automounting, I believe you can have them. But I'm not of the sort of people who like auto- stuff, myself.
All in all, if you like barebones simplicity and like learning new things (it's different from Linux!), I don't see why you couldn't just give it a try. You can install it into VirtualBox, if you don't feel like messing up your primary PC and get some feel for what the system is and is not about.

Has anyone successfully used Oracle EM as a Monitoring Solution??

Hi All,
This might be a wrong place to post ;) but anyways. My question is can we use Oracle EM as a Monitoring Solution? If so has anyone successfully used it?
I have used Oracle EM over the years for mostly managing Databases. Eventually with the Middleware Support I have tried to use it to monitor Middleware Servers, earlier OC4J and recently WebLogic Servers. I however find that most people when talk about EM they think of it as a Business Transaction Monitoring Solution. (Lets keep BTM out for a while I know about that plugin but it is another full set of questions)
Mostly I get questions as to can we "drill down the transactions" and see who initiated it and "what is being processed at this moment". Here transaction means Business Transaction as opposed "this thread is executing this particular piece of code". People want to know this piece of code is being executed "for Purchase Order XYZ" as opposed to just knowing that purchase order is being processed. If you know what i mean.
No doubt OEM is great tool for an Admin but does it really sell itself as a monitoring solution? I have not seen a successful implementation so far with OEM being a central monitoring solution. If anyone has any experiences to share it would be great.

I tried to look at that option. It is available only for the Database. I was looking something more towards say the web Services hosted or the Web Applications hosted on Weblogic instances. Can we find say the Web Service call which had the Purchase Order XYZ in its request, etc.

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't. If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

Old school, has anyone here been able to install and run Logic Pro 9.1 on a dual 1.8 G5 PPC? I know LP9 is not officialy supported on non Intel CPUs, But 9.0.0 and 9. 02 are ok on the G5 PPC as it is universal Binary, while I hear 9.1 wont work

ok thanks, that's what I tought,looks like apple machines are only good for two - three years, the software developers are ahead of the hardware to a certain point, love macs but this is forcing us to buy new macs just to keep up with development. There was a time it was the opposite.
By the time we get up on new stuff it's time to change again. Gotta be rich to deal with macs ...LOL

Does anyone here use PathFinder?

I'm not sure I spelled that right. I think it's just Path Finder. It's a substitute program for Finder. Does anyone here use it and how do you like it?

I use it if I have large amounts of File Management to do. Biggest advantages for me:
The Shelf
Tabbed Windows
But there are literally hundreds of bells and whistles on there. You can customise the look a million ways too.
But for most of the time the Finder is fine.
You can download a trial of PathFinder and try it out, you know.

Has anyone successfully used the ZTE Open C with an AT&T microcell?

I have a ZTE Open C and have had no issues with initial setup w/AT&T. However, like most newer phones the voice signal reception is very weak.
I've had an AT&T Microcell before, but I don't have one now. For those that are unaware, the microcell allows 3G phones to connect via a 3G signal, but the call is routed through a home broadband internet connection.
Has anyone successfully used a ZTE Open C w/Firefox OS AND used an AT&T microcell? If yes, did you need to do anything special on the phone or with Firefox OS.

I don't use a ZTE Open C, however, I do have a ZTE Open (Original) on AT&T and so I'll see if I can help ;D
I know someone who has a Microcell, and I have used it myself a few times. However, the microcell only works if you have entered in your phone number into settings of the Microcell.
Check the Microcell settings.
Check the data connection settings on your FxOS device
Make sure your Microcell is properly connected to WiFi
and check the AT&T support page for more info
For a while, it actually hasn't actually worked for me. I apologize if this doesn't solve your problem :D

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Although I gave up investment tracking for personal reasons (I had used Quicken Deluxe 2002 for many years for that reason), my understanding is that the new Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion is completely the same feature wise as Quicken 2007 for PPC. It will run on Snow Leopard, too.
For $15, why not download it and just try it and LET US KNOW!

AVCHD - Has anyone tried using Parallels

Hello,
I have the HDR-SR1 and am just as frustrated as everyone else on this board.
Has anyone tried using Parallels to capture the AVCHD footage in the Windows environment then bringing it into FPC on your Mac?
I tried but couldn't get it to locate the drive. My last solution is the Blackmagic vid card, just wanted to see if this works before I buy one.
cheers
