HD to SD how to get the best results

I have shot a 3 minute film in HD, edited in HD, then created a SD MPEG 2 in compressor and created a SD DVD in DVDSP. The quality was not very good. So I exported the film in FCP with print to video back to the camera then down converted back into FCP created my MPEG 2 in compressor and the quality was much better. My question is: Is there a quicker way? Its not so bad with a 3 minute film but when it comes to longer films is becomes a nightmare. any suggestions gratefully received.

No, it's a way to create a true 16:9 aspect ratio in SD
without squishing or letterboxing or cropping.
I want a regular 4 by 3 aspect ratio.
Just guessing here: you're using Export Using QuickTime Conversion,
and in the Size section, you have the option of preserving the aspect ratio
(of the image, not the SD frame) using either Letterbox or Crop.
Make sure you have the Dimensions set to 4:3.

How to get the fixed result in a DES/CBC mode with fixed input data and fix

How to get the fixed result in a DES/CBC mode with fixed input data and fixed key. Below is my program , I tried to get the checksum of the DESInputData with the DESKeyData, but each time the result is different.
below is my code:
byte[] DESKeyData = {(byte)0x01 ,(byte)0x01 ,(byte)0x01 ,(byte)0x01, (byte)0x01 ,(byte)0x01 ,(byte)0x01 ,(byte)0x01 };
byte[] DESInputData = {(byte)0x31 ,(byte)0x31 ,(byte)0x31 ,(byte)0x31,(byte)0x31 ,(byte)0x31 ,(byte)0x31 ,(byte)0x31 };
SecretKeySpec skey = new SecretKeySpec( DESKeyData, "DES" );
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES/CBC/NoPadding");
cipher.init( Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, skey );
byte[] result = cipher.doFinal( DESInputData );

Use class javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec to specify IV for CBC mode cipher:
// Create CBC-mode triple-DES cipher.
Cipher c = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
// Specify IV.
IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(new byte[] { (byte)0x01, (byte)0x23, (byte)0x45, (byte)0x67, (byte)0x89, (byte)0xAB, (byte)0xCD, (byte)0xEF });
// Initialize cipher with proper IV.
c.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, yourKey, iv);
// Encrypt and decrypt should work ok now.

System Overload & How to get the best G4 Performance

Okay all you Logic and OSX Gurus. I need your help. I've finally made the LOGIC leap from OS9 and have hit the SYSTEM OVERLOAD wall like many of you before me.
I've been pouring over this, and many other Forums and Blogs, for about two weeks now, and have tried many of the fixes / solutions to no avail. I estimate I'm now getting about 25% of my OS9 Logic performance from Logic in OSX.
One specific case in point is this. A four minute song sketch. No tempo changes. Four midi tracks, 6 Audio instruments and 2 EFX (1 Guitar Amp Pro, 1 Space Designer that's no even being used).
I have unsuccessfully tried to Bounce this to disc for two weeks now. The AUDIO and DISK I/O Meters barely register until the GUITAR AMP PRO track brings the AUDIO METER up to about 1/3rd usage. At various points in the Bounce the G4 will completely FREEZE, and I will have manually restart.
THINGS I HAVE TRIED, and continue to try are:
- Repairing Permissions
- Trashing Preferences
- Updating MOTU Drivers
- Changing Processor performance setting - which I cannot do BTW, because my system does not seem to support this option.
- Closing all Widgets
- Freeing up more Space on my Mac OSx startup disk (I now have 78.41 Gig available on a 114.49 Gig drive)
- Run Cocktail to clean up System logs and temporary files
- FREEZING TRACKS as a temporary 'fix'. This did nothing BTW but add more strain to the CPU and I still had about 1/3rd the usage with my GUITAR AMP Plugin (and it still crashed).
- Increased AUDIO BUFFER to 1024
So, (and I guess this is really two sides of the same question)...
1) How do I FIX this SYSTEM OVERLOAD problem, and
2) How do I "optimize" my Dual 1.25 G4 in order to get the best performance possible out of LOGIC PRO?
OTHER QUESTIONS I HAVE ARE:
- Does the G4 have the processing power needed to run LOGIC PRO?
- I'm confident adding RAM will "help" (can't hurt), but am I really dealing with a RAM Problem here or, again, can these processors really handle it?
BTW - I'm not looking for an excuse to go shopping for a Quad G5 (I mean who needs an excuse... . But, I'm really trying to determine if at the end of the day I will spend money on RAM, Hard Drives, whatever..., and then still be frustrated and end up shopping.
- Are SCSI drives a problem with Tiger / Logic? These Cheetah drives are fast (10,000 RPM), reliable, and have been great drives to record on. I'm trying to do this simple bounce to one of the Cheetahs and as I said it's just not happening.
- Does the startup volume size effect performance?
- Does the amount of free space on the start up drive effect performance?
- Firewire 400 vs 800? My sample library is on the Firewire drive, and I'm thinking this does not pull a lot on the CPU as these get loaded into memory before playing? Am I right about that? It is Firewire 400.
A long letter and a lot of questions. I thank you all in advance for any answers, guidance or direction you can give. Please also let me know if there is something I HAVEN'T asked, looked at or should be doing.
Best,
Kevin

And after months of using Express, and a week of
using Logic, I hadn't had a system overload until
today. Now I'm having them all the time. It wasn't a
set up change, it wasn't running on the battery, it
wasn't running software monitoring, it's set up with
512 i/o buffer, medium processor buffer. And it
wasn't brought on by number of tracks - that's for
sure. After it started happenind and I took a break &
came back, I was sitting on my couch, Powerbook in
my lap, tapping a beat in with the onscreen
keyboard.... a SINGLE instrument, mind you. NO plugs,
no other tracks of ANY kind. And it happened.
There's a lot of great, relevant and very helpful info on this forum and it all helps and it all counts. But..... so many people are suffering this when moving up to Pro 7 from either Pro 6 or Express. One expects a change in system load when a major update comes along but more and more people are reporting that simply recording 1 or 2 tracks of audio, pure, no plug-ins or EQ is causing an overload whereas in the previous version(s) this was easily accomodated. This, you may have guessed, has happened to me as well. Are we to accept in 1 version increment (albeit a major one) there is such a massive increase in demand from hardware that you cannot record a pure no-plug-in stereo track? When going back to 6.4.3 it will happily record 8 at once, let you EQ and reverb and then do another 8 AND then another. With no troble at all.
It is pointing more and more towards fundamental flaws in the programming. Did L7 come out too soon? Are we just beta testing what is pro software? We are only on 7.1.1 and 6 went to 6.4.3 but at no stage was it this bad at the fundamentals of what the App is for. I love Logic, I really do, but I think, even with all the great help we are fighting what Apple should be addressing. Not that you can find/contact/talk to or get any sort of response from them.
I have tried but have gone back to 6.4.3 until 7.1.2 or even 7.2 appears, but I'm not paying for 7.2. My £200 upgrade from 6.4.3 is now sitting on a shelf desperately wanting to use it.

How to get the best sound from iMac?

Has anyone heard of "Pure Music"? Supposedly it's able to make music sound better. I downloaded it for a 15 day trial but haven't figured out how to get it to work with itunes radio. I'm using Klipsch 2.1 speakers with a late '13 iMac 3.1 quad core i7 w/ Yosemite. I'm not unhappy with the sound. Just wondering if there are any ways to enhance or tweak to get the best sound out of my system.

*just a little update, I fixed the problem.
I was suppose to put the Nvidia driver controller for the select program tab as well
Everything is running much smoother now, and I also had to turn off eco mode lol.

in search of the best looking photoslide show DVD to view on a TV..... a couple more questions
if I understand some of the recent posts to get a clear picture:
Question #1
I need to import all of the photos into photoshop CS (or a similar product) and resize them to 1280 x 960 (4:3)ratio then open iDVD and import them.
If I am doing Ken Burn effects then resize them to 2560 x 1920 and use "Photo to Movie" to create the slideshow then import into iDVD (to get a cool menu)
can you just bring the images in from iphoto (in the same format that they were imported from the camera)?
I am using a Nikon D70 6.0 megapixel
Question #2
If I burn the disc in iDVD... it is not as good as using Disk utility or Toast because of the burn speed (2X) ... is this correct?

How to get the Overall result and Avg in Query

Hi
I am facing a problem to find Overall result and Avg for the keyfigure.
Here is the scenario.
I have a fiscalperiod ,qty in query column and material in row, when user enters the fiscalperiod(004.2006 to 006.2006)
the output should come as
   0406 0506 0606 Avg
M1 10 20   40     35
M2 20 40   30     45
res 30 60 70
i can able to get the overall result not avg,
if i change the properities of keyfigure 'Calicuate Result as 'Average of all values'',then i am loosing the overall result.
eitherway i can able to get one result,not both.
anybody can help.
Thanks
Madhu

You have 2 key figures and you have put Material in the ROWS.
Remove Material from ROWS and instead use 0FISCYEAR in the row selection.
You can create 12 Key figures for each month and use either Filer or Free Characteristic using 0CALMONTH to restrict the month for the selection Variable.
For the Key Figures use "Calculate Single Value as" Average.
Create another formula as KF1KF2....+KF12 to get the sum of average.

How to get the best colour representation on screen

Hi there,
I am trying to get my LCD to most accurately represent colours from my Pantone swatch book. I have a Huey Pro calibration tool to assist in the LCD calibration.
So, I've calibrated the display as best as I could. It's not a top of the line LCD and the Huey isn't the top of the line colourimeter so I understand that I won't get things absolutely perfect.
I'm starting with the basics: trying to match the C M Y & K from the swatch book. Figure that's a good place to begin. I'd like to see RGB and CMYK values look as accurate as possible on my display. If I can figure that out, then I guess it's time to understand how to match the Pantone values and the Lab settings and all that jazz.
My PS Colour Settings are North America General Purpose 2
RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
CMYK: US Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Is there anything else I can be doing to get a better on-screen representation?
Is this Holy Grail even attainable with my modest setup?
I'd really value your advice and opinions!
Thanks!

Humm could be one of two things...
If the Display Resolution is off, go to: Apple > System Preferences > Displays > select the Display tab and choose the highest Scaled Resolution in the list.
If just the Desktop picture is to narrow, go to: Apple > System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > select the Desktop tab and change the Fit to Screen setting to Fill Screen.
Likewise, I might complain to Verizon because those folks had no business messing with those setting.

How to get the best possible performance when accessing remote files

Hello,
I have recently set up a VPN to allow remote access to an MYOB data file hosted on my Mac Mini at home (MYOB is an accountancy software package for Mac and PC).
My Mac Mini is connected to the internet over a standard ADSL home broadband line, with a terrible upload speed. I think my ISP (BT) quotes 512k upload and up to 8 Meg download. Needless to say, access to the data file is sluggish at best.
Can anybody recommend a better way to host the data file?
I am aware of lots of 'free file hosting' services, a quick Google search brings up loads, but I need to actually open and run the file from its remote location. I cannot download and then upload again because we have multiple user access, and need to ensure the file on the server is not being edited by two people at once.
Thanks for your help...

Thanks for both of your answers.
*Amazon S3 Option*
I preferred the Amazon S-3 option for ease of use and setup, but this does not appear to work. The software accesses the file very quickly indeed, which is great, but I think due to the connection protocol the network volume reports 'zero' disk space remaining.
The MYOB application does not like this, so pops up an error message saying it needs at least '200kb of disk space to open'. This is because, upon opening, it writes a couple of 'lock' files to the disk where the data file is stored.
My previous solution with the Mac Mini used VPN to connect, thus allowing SMB shares for windows users and AFP shares for Mac, and when mounted these network volumes would report the remaining disk space of the Mac Mini itself. MYOB liked this.
Is there any way I can get the network share to report something other than zero disk space remaining?
*Dedicated Server Option*
Otherwise, the VPS option sounds very affordable. I am however unfamiliar with the world of dedicated servers and the Ubuntu OS, but surprised they are so affordable. I would rather go this route than change my home ISP.
Firstly I have never used Linux or typed anything into the command line. So, will I be able to use VNC to access the VPS?
Second, to access the data file, should I continue to use VPN? My current VPN server software supports Linux, so can I use this on Ubuntu?
Thanks again..

                  NR    -- 100
                  MR    -- 150
                  QTY ---- 1
and required a group on SA, then PROD, NR and MR. Basically wanted to display QTY count/sum.
xyz is repeating (in red color) because first xyz is under group of xyzitem and another xyz is under another group of klmitem.
SA ---abc
PROD              NR          MR                QTY

How to get the entire result into an XMLDocument??

Hello,
I would like to get the result of a DB Query as XMLDocument. Here's the code I use:
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery();
OracleResultSet orset = (OracleResultSet) rset;
while (orset.next()) {
XMLType poxml = XMLType.createXML(orset.getOPAQUE(1));
Document doc = poxml.getDOM();
The problem is, that I can only get a XMLDocument per table row, but not an XMLDocument of the entire result.
Regards,
Dominik

I got the answer myself:
In the xsql-query, use the xmlagg() function to group the all records into one record.
Use the same Java code.

How to get the best iPhoto/Aperture slide shows on Apple TV

Hi. I'd like to do very simple slideshows on Apple TV 2nd generation for friends and family, but haven't been able to get it to work very well. My needs, I think, are simple:
No gimimick transitions, e.g. no Ken Burns. I don't mind an ultra-brief fade in/out, but that's about it. I found Classic, and that seems to work. I'm only mentioning it as it might have a bearing on the next two.
I'd like complete control over advancing slides using the Apple Remote, or the Remote app on the iPad. No auto-advancing. If we're all enjoying, talking about a memory, the last thing I want is that memory suddenly yanked away to the next slide. When I try to pause, it pauses the music instead of the slides.
I'd like the photos to have 720p resolution, which is what the Apple TV 2nd generation is capable of. All the originals are higher resolution (typically 3000 vertical, varying widths depending no how I've cropped), but sometimes the Apple TV decides to make them much grainier than one would expect from 720p. Other times they look fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No there is no way to Mirror full screen from an iOS device to the Apple TV. iOS devices are not 16:9 like your HDTV so the mirrored image appears as the size your iOS device would be if it were the size of your TV. Hope that makes sense.
