HD Advice - Can My System Handle It?

I just upgraded from PrE version 4 to version 9. So far so good working with my .AVI footage and stills. That being said, I want to upgrade to hi def. I'm considering picking up a Panasonic HDC-SD60 camcorder (records MPEG4-AVC/H.264) and Blue Ray burner. My question is, will my 6-month old desktop have the horsepower to handle working with the HD footage?
I'm running an Intel Core i3-530 processor (2.93GHz, 4MB L2 Cache) with 6GB of DDR3 Dual-Channel 1333MHz RAM. If it matters, I'm also using an 250MB NVidia graphics card and running Win 7, 64 bit. I've got a ton of available HDD space -- two 1TB internal drives. I always capture and store video footage on the secondary drive.
I feel like my machine should be robust enoguh to work with the HD footage and output blue ray disks. Even so, I would like to have some confidence that I'll be able to handle the format before I drop the $$ on the new camcorder, blue ray burner, extra SDHC cards, etc. I appreciate any thoughts/comments.
Thanks.

Camera:
I have just been through what you are considering and after a lot of research on all available brands, this is what I did -
Bought a Sony HDR CX350 camera (now about $1000)
It works beautifully on my big Sony Bravia screen - as good as the best blue ray pics.
Movie colours and resolution fantastic on 1900 x1080i
Shake stabilization is the best I have seen in a moderate price camera.
Handles a wide variety of lighting conditions very well automatically while still giving you good manual control
The touch screen spot focus is better than you could ever do with a focus ring.
Solid state recording - no hard drive
(Don't buy any Sony cheaper models - they are a completely different story)
As far as the computer goes your system is better than mine however I found spreading over three hard disks by far the most important.
I have heard that laptop motherboards may not be as fast due to heat and size restrictions so I cant comment on yours however if you cant fit three sata drives then you may have speed problems even with a super processor. External drives for backup purposes may also be slow
If you are a professional editor where time is money then you should go the quad, multi disk route but if only an amateur the following is quite acceptable -
My Computer is a 2 year old Intel Core duo 2.4g 4mbRAM
3 hard disks. 1=OS & pagefile, 2=Media, 3= all project files
I can shuttle up and down a hour timeline without any delay ( as long as I only reveral the pics in the timeline when I really need them which is not often)
Normal piecing clips together and previewing is as fast as anyone would want. Only about 2mb of the ram is in use at any time.
Before I split and set up the disks this way it was very slow to edit
Originally 2 of my drives were connected as Raid. I unraided them and now they are two sepearate disks - much faster
The things that take up time and are improved by a quad processor are -
Previewing or making fine adjustments to a complicated transition, or effect edit. You have to render the aread around the edit if you really want to see what the end result is without jerkyness. This takes sometimes half a minute to do each time but once rendered you don't have to wait unless you make a change to that point. This is about four as fast on a quad machine. Increasing the memory doesnt help because it is caused by the processors running flat out to keep up with the frame rate.
Conclusion: you will wonder how you ever thought SD was good when you change to HD. Even my 75 yr old wife was amazed!

Can my system handle DVCProHD

I am quoting on an new project, it might be shot on DVCProHD and they would like to finish in HD, the end result being a Blueray disc. I am hoping to use DVCProHD codec throughout the process.
My main question is: Can my system handle this format?
CPU: Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5
2 GB RDDR SDRAM
Media Drives: SATA RAID (drives striped in pairs)
I/O: AJA KONA LS
I am hoping I don't need to upgrade to do this job, but I have not used DVCProHD with out down converting to SD. I have been using uncompressed SD 10 bit with out any problem.

EVERYTHING is fine, but the I/O LS. That is a standard def card. If you want to view HD externally then you need an HD card and HD monitor.
But the system specs are fine for DVCPRO HD. The requirements for that format aren't too bad.

Upload a Greeting File to a System Handler on CUC8?

Hi,
There must be a way to do this, but I don't see how or where to do this.
We want to create a custom greeting in wav format (or any other format supported) that will be used for a system handler

How can I upload a custom greeting to CUC8 for a specifc System Handler configured on the system other than

Hi
In which transaction code we can maintain system messages for sap sd point of view.
For example : in sales order i want warrning message instead of error message .
Thanks,
KP

Hi,
All the system messages which are pertained to application area "V4(Sales messages (variable messages and EDI messages))" can be handled by using the T.Code "OVAH".
The path for this is:
SPRO>Sales and Distribution>Sales>Sales Documents>Scheduling Agreements with Delivery Schedules-->Define Variable Messages.
All others can be handled by using the T.Code "SE91".

Quicktime-no sound & Broadcaster Error - Can't Open Handler (-2004)

Greetings - I made the following post in the Tiger forum and after 3 days have received no response. Hopefully I'll have better luck here. Thanks in advance.
10.4.7
MacbookPro Intel Core Duo
Suddenly some problems.
My Fireworks 8 will no longer open. I get a Macromedia error pop-up stating "A problem was detected with your application. Please reinstall software to correct the problem."
So I reinstall.
Same problem! Reinstallation does not fix.
Also, I now have no sound with Quicktime. All other system sounds are fine, DVD player, sound applications like Peak. But Quicktime is silent.
Lastly - my Quicktime Broadcaster is no longer working.
Video is no longer appearing in the source preview. (although I can confirm that the camera is working when I click on options for "built in iSight." I DO see video in the "Video Adjustments" window.
Futhermore, if I click on "broadcast" I get this error "Broadcaster Error - Can't Open Handler (-2004)
Argghhh.
Any suggestions for me?
Thanks!

I doubt it is corrupt you could try to delete it but that will probably cause a problem with QT. What is the turn of events that took you to the registry?
This is a permissions issue. What account originally installed QT? Are you an administrator account? You need to take Full Control or Ownership of the item in the registry or QT with a administrator account. Whatever account you're using, now, either is not an administrator account or it is being denied permissions. At worse I would think you might have to create another administrator account to take ownership and full control. There are at least 2 on the computer now.

System handler annoucement

Hi,
I wonder how to make an user to able access the system handler to record an annoucement by phone ?

Can i use Handle C with the LABVIEW FPGA module?

Hi,
Can i use Handle C with the LABVIEW FPGA module? I am working with CompactRIO right now so, i want to know weather i can use Handle C with CompactRIO.Can i access FPGA in compactRIO independant of LABVIEW means can i program it without using LABVIEW?

Hi Vishnu,
Although we don't support Handel-C directly, it is possible to design your algorithms using 3rd party tools or system integrators and consume them from a top-level LabVIEW VI. The webcast at http://zone.ni.com/wv/app/doc/p/id/wv-268 shows an example of how you can use IP from C-based tools provided by Celoxica in the LabVIEW FPGA environment.

Can I get handle to Database Row before an entity is deleted

Hi,
We are using stored procedure to list, insert , update and delete entity objects.To use the stored procedure I override the default queries generated by Toplink and make use of the stored procedure query.The issue here is that my Stored Procedure requires more arguments (like name of the user doing the insert) than there are fields in the entity.I need to provide these argument values to the call.For this I do something like
session.getDescriptor(MyClass.class).getEventManager().addListener(new DescriptorEventAdapter(){
public void aboutToInsert(DescriptorEvent evt) {
evt.getRow().put("USER",evt.getSession().getProperty("username"));
I set the username in the unitOfWork out of which I can grab the value in the eventHandler and put it inside the row just before insert.I do the same for modify too.But I dont see a similar methods for "delete".Do we have a aboutToDelete() method where I can get a handle to the row.The preDelete() does not provide a handle to the row.How can I insert additional arg values to the delete query?
Thanks,
Harini

Hello Harini,
Wow, you are correct there is no aboutToDelete, I guess manipulating the row before deletetion is not that common for our TopLink clients as this is the first request I have heard for it. I will add this request to our enhancement database. You might want to follow it up with support if it is a priority for you.
As a workaround you could use the preDelete event to change the stored procedure call with the user name argument (i.e. build the procedure call dynamically in preDelete and set it into the query. The query will have been cloned at this point so there should be no concurrency issues. Make sure when doing this that you do not set the deleteQuery in the descriptor query manager as this will override the original query if set.
Example:
descriptor.getEventManager().addListener(new DescriptorEventAdapter() {
public void preDelete(DescriptorEvent event) {
StoredProcedureCall call = new StoredProcedureCall();
call.setProcedureName("Delete_proc");
call.addNamedArgument("P_ID", "ID");
call.addNamedArgumentValue("USER", "scott");
call.addNamedArgumentValue("TIME", new java.util.Date());
event.getQuery().setCall(call);
});

Tanya,
Please explain with example
Scenario 1: Req1 & Req2 are deleted ONLY from change log on Day 3

What will happen to the Req1&Req2 in the cube?
Document Number| Customer | sales value|STOR_NO(ROCANCEL)
1001| RAMLAL | 10000 |C
--> Here 1000 is not correct value, as 1000 is change to 3000. It should be 3000. record should be as below.
Document Number| Customer | sales value|STOR_NO(ROCANCEL)
1001| RAMLAL | 30000 |C
--> As this data related to sales, and i hope you are using standard ABR extractors(Business Content).
ABR datasources delivers before and after images.
Before image:
Document Number| Customer | sales value|STOR_NO(ROCANCEL)
1001| RAMLAL | -3000 |C
Before image:
Document Number| Customer | sales value|STOR_NO(ROCANCEL)
1001| RAMLAL | 0 |C --> value changed from 3000 to Zero.
If you are loading in additive or Overwrite into an ODS total sales for 1001 at end of day 4 will be Zero.
Hope it helps

External System Handling Units to SAP ECC System and Pack Outbound DO

Hi Guru
Packing Is done in External System for SAP ECC Sales Order Before Outbound Delivery Creation.
How to capture External System Handling Units in to SAP ECC System and Pack Outbound Delivery Line Items.
Please help
Thanks In Advance
SR

Bit of a cart-before-the-horse situation here.
Lets assume that your business process goes ahead and creates a delivery note, but leaves it unpicked and unpacked. Picking and packing will occur with the inbound IDoc from your external system.
Map the external system data into a basic IDoc type DELVRY0X. I think the current one is DELVRY07.
Use an inbound IDoc message type SHPCON to carry the external system data into your ECC system.
The process code DELV works well with DELVRY0X inbounds. It has lots of user exits. You will need them because you will need a determination process to know which delivery note to update with the external system data.
When you map the handling unit data correctly into the IDoc, the process code will create the handling units on your delivery. The external handling unit numbers should end up in VEKP- EXIDV.

zKen

Can a system-variable passed in the The syntax of the FoRM statement

The syntax of the FoRM statement is
FORM {TABLES <t1><t2><t3>......} {USING <U1><U2><U3>.....} {CHANGING <C1><C2><C3>.....}
ENDFORM .
As all these are vvariables can a system-variable passed here

Hi,
Why do you need to pass the system variable to the form at the first place ? It would not be a good programming practice to pass a system variable to the form.
Hope this helps..
