Help with DVD authoring process

I've been reading hundreds of forums and discussions over the last week the more I read the more confused it all becomes.
Working with Sports AVCHD Footage from a Canon HG10
Import into FCE
Export to QT "not self contained"
The quality looks good when the QT is opened in QT player.
My concern is when its imported into iDVD or TOAST and encoded/compressed to Mpeg2 the quality has been lost the sharpness has gone. Have tried numerous settings and combinations within iDVD and Toast 9 but still no improvement.
Does the QT movie need to be encoded/compressed with another application to retain the quality?
What about FCP does that have a compressor/encoder which can to it.
Do I need to purchase DSP to get the quality?
All you pros out there any information, tips, processes, ideas anything to get a quality DVD

The video is 90min long of sports footage
I'm not sure about Toast, but iDVD uses uncompressed audio in the final DVD, what means that A LOT of your available space and bandwidth will be taken just for the audio and then, it needs to encode your video to a lower quality to fit in your disc (single layer?).
Using Compressor lets you encode your audio to Dolby 2 (AC3) and it will give you more space for your video and then, you can get a better encoding quality.
Hope that helps !

Need help with a simple process with FTP Adapter and File Adapter

I am trying out a simple BPEL process that gets a file in opaque mode from a FTP server using a FTP adapter and writes it to the local file system using a File Adapter. However, the file written is always empty (zero bytes). I then tried out the FTPDebatching sample using the same FTP server JNDI name and this work fine surprisingly. I also verified by looking at the FTP server logs that my process actually does hit the FTP server and seems to list the files based on the filtering condition - but it does not issue any GET or RETR commands to actually get the files. I am suspecting that the problem could be in the Receive, Assign or Invoke activities, but I am not able identify what it is.
I can provide additional info such as the contents of my bpel and wsdl files if needed.
Would appreciate if someone can help me with this at the earliest.
Thanks

Little bit of help with the duplication process needed

Hi
I trying to duplicate a database from one server to a remote server. They are both running windows server 2003 (my first problem) , the primary server is running oracle 11gR1 and the (hopefully) receiving server is running 11gR2(is that going to be a problem?) and I'm a little stuck on some parts of the process.
The book I'm using says to edit the listener.ora file to include a SID_DESC of the remote database. Here is my listener.ora file with the modifications
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = test.host.local)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = CGARDMSTR)
(ORACLE_HOME = G:\app\administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = CGARDMSTR)
(ORACLE_HOME =G:\app\administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1)
(SID_NAME = CGARDMSTR)
*(SID_DESC* *=*
*(GLOBAL_DBNAME* *=* cgard)
*(ORACLE_HOME* *=F:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)*
*(SID_NAME* *=* cgard)
(bold is what i added)
it then said to chnage my tnsnames.ora
CGARD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = test.host.local)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = cgard)
CGARD5DE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = test.host.local)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = CGARD5DEV)
CGARDMST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = test.host.local)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = CGARDMSTR)
cgard =
*(DESCRIPTION =*
*(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = live.host.local)(PORT = 1521))*
*(CONNECT_DATA =*
*(SERVER = DEDICATED)*
*(SERVICE_NAME = cgard)*
I changed the local domain to host for business reasons
The next step was to create a initialization parameter file which I am guessing is a pfile and hopefully not a spfile. It then says to only enter one param db_name and the conversion params if the filesystem is diffrent. Problem is I don't know what to do with this file, if I am suppose to switch the second database to this file then surly I would need some more params? Anyway thats the first of many questions.
When I try to run through the rman commands it describes it also trips up:
RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/*********@live.host.local
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-04006: error from auxiliary database: ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurr
ed
The other database is up and connectable via sqldevloper so I'm guessing it was my configuration of listener and tnsnames
Ok to reiterate my questions are:
1) what needs to be in the pfile I create for the database thats going to receive the backup and what do I do with that file when I have made it?
2) I am pretty sure my listener and tsunamis config is completely wrong so can I have some pointers on fixing that?
3) Was the reason I could not connect to the receiving database my tns and listener config or is it something else?
Quite a few other questions but untill I know some more about the above I doubt I will be able to ask properly.
Also if this helps the book I am using is Expert Oracle Database 11g Administration and the page is 835(the method that begins on that page) and I am willing to write out the whole method if you need more details.
Oh and if you havent figured it out I am very new to this so if some of this sounds very wrong or just stupid just say what I need to change and I will get right on it.
Thanks
Alex

So I am not quite sure what it wants. I read somewhere about a password file but I don't understand how it will help, also most things I have looked at wernt clear on how to do it. I took a stab anyway:
G:\app\administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\BIN>orapwd file=orapwcgard password=*********** entries=20 ignorecase=n
Was run on the original database host.
File was then copied to "F:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\database" on the receiving database's host it was then renamed to PWDcgard.ora as there was file there already with that name.
It did not help(same error).
The book I am using mentions the 'PASSWORD FILE' param to be used with the duplicate command but I cant find a example on how to use it so any help with that would be great.
Thanks for the effort so far guys its really appreciated.

Help With DVD ReAuthoring - Please...

Hello all,
So I have been trying to do research into this without much luck.
I want to take a completed DVD, import it into DVD Studio Pro 4.1 and then reauthor it as to remove unwanted scenes, menu sections and buttons. I found a program on the windows side of things (intel based mac with boot camp helped) called DVDReMake Pro. This program allows me to do exactly what I have mentioned including exporting the changes to DVD format.
What I am wondering is if it is possible to do this in DVD studio Pro 4.1 and if so how.
In my search for this answer I have noticed that some users have had to convert files to certain formats or extract the dvd content a certain way.
If someone wouldn't mind helping out and explaining this I would be more than happy to make a guide for future users wondering about this same issue.
Thanks

Hi Nigel - welcome to the discussions. Before you go down this route you need to be sure that you hold the copyright to the material, otherwise you won't get much help from this particular forum, I'm afraid!
The process is fairly simple, but DVDSP is not an app to re-author a disc. You first need to get the footage out of your disc and do the editing on that.
There are two basic levels you can go to - from a DVD you can extract the MPEG2 file and the associated audio. MPEG2 is not an easily editable format but you can do trims and splits in it as long as you are at the right point. You will not get frame accurate editing. The benefit is that you are not affecting the quality of the original footage.
The second level is to take the extracted MPEG and convert it to something like DV. Of course, there is a quality loss when you do so, but you can at least edit the footage as you want. The quality loss is most obvious when you then try to re-encode to MPEG2 (which you need to do if you are putting it back on a DVD). There are several Mac apps that can extract the footage off a disc, and some that will extract directly to DV. DVDxDV is one, but there are others, including Cinematize. Check version tracker.
Finally, there are apps that allow you to replace files inside the VIDEO_TS folder directly and make all kinds of structural changes to the disc. To do this you'll need to have a replacement set of files, typically created using a tool like DVDSP, to replace the ones you are removing. Have a look at http://www.dvdafteredit.com for one such example.

Help with DVD Studio Pro Audio Track/Commentary Track

Hi Everyone -
I am authoring my first DVD for a film. I believe I have everything under control - menus, chapter selections, bonus features - except for the director's commentary.
I have created 2 main menus - one with a button to turn commentary on, another menu with a button to turn commentary off.
They work fine.
But when I simulate the DVD, select commentary ON, play movie (commentary track plays) ... Then click the MENU button, it returns to the main menu with the button to turn commentary ON, but the commentary audio track (audio track 2) is still activated at this point.
Is it possible to tell it to return to audio track 1 if the menu button is pressed, or tell it to go to "main menu 2" if the menu button is pressed?
I hope my question is clear.
Thank you.
Joe G.

Each track and story has its own end jump and its own Remote Control selection. If I understand your problem correctly, changing the Remote Control>Menu (in the Inspector window) from Same as Disk to the appropriate Menu should fix the problem.
If not, a more complete explanation would help.

Need an expert to help with DVD Player app crashing

I'm not sure why, but my DVD Player app won't launch. I don't think I added anything new that would cause this change. I tried restarting, repairing permissions, but beyond this I'm not sure where to go next. Can anyone make heads or tails from this and offer a suggestion?

Need some help with a Business Process monitor PPO Collector

We have one particular monitor that won't return any value, consistently gray.
Monitoring scenario is Shopping Cart/PPO process - we have cases where Shopping carts fail to create purchase orders in our ECC system.
We can see the errors, and have created a monitor with a threshold of '1" just to try to trigger the alert.
Process being monitored is PURORD006, monitor object is boppocol
Configuration is generated and activated, there are no errors in SLG1. Monitor runs every 5 minutes. There are no config errors showing anywhere, and there are no authorization errors for any users.
There are a few red extractors, but they're all workload/e2e related, not BPMON. Agents are green.
Solman is 7.1 Sp12, newly upgraded, all Managed system config/techmon/bpm config clean and green . This also did not work in our previous SP10 incarnation.
Does not matter which ECC system we configure for this, they all act the same way, no metric. Like there's something fundamentally incorrect with our setup or we aren't understanding how this particular monitor works. We have other BPM monitors that work just fine, so it's not a complete config failure, just this one particular one.
ECC system has st-pi 2008-1-700 10
st-a/pi is 01R_700
System is not allowing me to embed screenshots.. grr..... attached screen shots.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Bernie

First of all, if you have IT resources inhouse (or even external) consider asking them.
Also having a backup of the old db would be my recomandation, also check first if there
is data inside which you might want to export as long as the old tms is up and running.
There are a lot of different permissions settings which could grant you access to everything, but
stop you from dropping / deleting the old db.
You can drop a database in different ways, gui, command line,...
This is more a Microsoft SQL than a TMS question.
For more info I would recomend to check the Microsoft sites (and forums) or google.
Like this article here: "Deleting a Database"

Need Help with DVD recorder (HDMI) to record off DVR

I purchased a philips dvd recorder a few years ago and need help in setting up to record my DVR program recordings. The philips user manual is not very helpful being I'm trying to set-up with just using HDMI cables. I have a HDTV (Vizio) with a HDMI port; a DVD recorder with HDMI port and my Verizon set-top box have a HDMI port. How do i get it all to work and be able to record/copy programs from DVR to my DVD recorder? Do anyone have suggestions on how to set up wiring. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First keep in mind that DVD is not an HD format, so you will not be able to record HD shows in HD; they will be in letterboxed 4:3.
The FiOS STB only has one HDMI (out) port. Therefore, you will need to use some other output from the STB to the DVD recorder. Component, or even composite/RCA, because it's not going to record in HD anyway to DVD, will work just fine. Then you want to set your DVD player to whatever input you used to connect from the STB; i.e. mine uses "Input 1" for my composite connection.
If you turn on your STB and DVD, this will record whatever the STB is outputting to a DVD if you press record on the DVD recorder. This includes all of the program menus and any other on-screen graphics on the STB, and this means you cannot change the channel if you are recording from your STB. You can shut your TV off, but you will not be able to watch another show while recording one to DVD.
Your DVD player might give you an HDCP message at first when the recording starts if it's getting an HD input, but that should go away after a few seconds, at least for my Panasonic DVD recorder with a composite connection.

New to Mac. Help with DVD please?

I just got my new MacBook... first time with mac. Can someone tell me how to save a dvd onto the computer? I have 120G hard drive. I was wondering how much memory does each movie take up? I am going to Europe and would like to download about 6 movies so I don't have to take them with me. Is this possible?
Thanks for any help!

Sure it's possible.You have plenty of room for 6 movies.Most movies are about 4.5-7 GB's
Here's the software you'll need.---> http://www.flip4mac.com/drivein.htm
Enjoy you're trip.

Help with Flash Export Process:

Hi all.
I'm using Flash CC on a Windows 8 system. The specs are i7-3770, 12GB RAM, 128GB SSD, etc.
When we create flash animations, we look at the SWF and it looks fantastic.
YouTube unfortunately doesn't accept SWF as a valid file type.
This is where things start to get hairy.
Someone suggested I export PNGs as a sequence along with the audio and then add these to a program such as Adobe Premiere or After Effects.
Is it normal for a 5 minute animation @ 30fps to take nearly 5 hours to export the PNGs?
I'd like to think my system is strong enough to do it a bit quicker than this.
FYI - Flash CC no longer has the ability to export as a PNG sequence (Flash Pro CS6 still has it).
I tried using export > video in Flash CC to generate an MOV. This creates an MOV that is 12GB+.
I can't believe a 5 minute MOV could even become that large. I then use the Adobe Media Encoder to compress the MOV into an MP4. This works no problem but no matter what settings I try, the colors don't seem as vivid as the SWF.
Everything has this slight dullness to it and I can't figure out why. Both the MOV with the huge file size and the compressed MP4 lack the vividness in color the SWF has.
Can anyone here share with me the export process they use for an HD animation that can be uploaded to YouTube?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean

I used whatever the default settings would be as this was a fresh install of Flash CC. I didn't make any adjustments. I just click FILE > EXPORT > EXPORT VIDEO
It made an MOV on my Desktop.
I'm home now and have checked some things and this is what I'm finding.
When you are in Flash CC and click FILE > EXPORT > EXPORT VIDEO and choose a path, an MOV is made that is gigantic. This gigantic file actually looks like it's supposed to.
It's when I convert the MOV to MP4 where the colors become washed out.
You can see it in the examples attached.
One is washed out (b) and the other isn't (a).
The washed out one was converted from MOV to MP4 using Adobe Media Encoder CC with the "Match Source - High Bitrate" preset.
How can I get the MP4 to come out with the same colors as the MOV?

Will the ATI Radeon 3870 help with my photo processing?

I have a Quad 2.66 Mac Pro with 7Gb of RAM and about 3Tb of HD space. It also has the stock NVidia GeForce 7300GT video card in it (256Mb VRAM). Over the past 6 weeks or so, I've noticed that general photo processing functions in Lightroom and Photoshop have started to crawl (I use LR 2.2 and PS CS4 on 10.5.6). Simple tasks as switching from one image to another or going applying relatively light filters cause the spinning ball to appear for upwards of 20 seconds. This never used to happen.
Full disclaimer: I have started processing RAW images taken with my Canon 5D Mark II which are around 25Mb a pop and doing heavy HDR work that creates 400-500mb TIFF files. Also, my current video card is driving a Dell 30" LCD and a Dell 24" LCD.
I was hoping to be able to breathe new life into this Mac Pro until Apple released a refresh to the line (which I assume will be within the next few months as it is due for an update).
So, my question is: should I expect a performance jump by upgrading the video card to the 3870? I am seeing a lot of comments re: fan noise but I'd be willing to put up with it if I can see a marked performance boost.
Thanks for your help, everyone!
Brian

I would try a couple things:
Upgrade RAM to 4 x 2GB plus (maybe 4 x 1GB from what you have) for 12GB.
Scratch disk with Spotlight disabled, using a couple drives dedicated stipped RAID.
Pull the 7300GT for now, maybe replace it with ATI Radeon 2600.
http://www.barefeats.com/harper16.html
The benefit of the 3870 is there, but maybe not in ways you wanted or expect (and until GPGPU and other features come to CS4/5 and Snow Leopard).

Help with an Automator Process

Hello, my name is Mike and this is actually my first post regarding Automator. I am trying to accomplish something that will make my day a whole lot easier but I am having trouble because it is a rather tedious workflow. Ok, here is what I am trying to accomplish...I deal with a company that emails me over "work order" as an .htm attachment, I have to manually open this email and print every attachment. What i would like to do is have the email from this company filtered down, download the attachment to a file so it can be printed and then mark the email as read so when the next time I run this workflow it will only get the the unread mail and the process goes on. Here is what I have so far....
1-get specified mail items
2-display mail messages
3-filter mail messages
4-get attachments from mail messages
5-get folder contents
6-open finder items
That is the current workflow as it sits... some of the pitfalls I am running into is that the file is a .htm and must open with Safari. Next how can I create a script to delete the items from the designated folder as well as mark the ones in the inbox read ? Oh and sometimes when I run the current workflow i get the number of attachments in individual pages of Safari and sometimes it only wants to open the first attachment only.If anyone can give me some input with this it would be appreciated..
Thanks,
Mike Awad

Have you looked into using the rules in Mail? In Mail's preferences (File > Preferences...) there is section for creating rules. One of the things you can have a rule do is run an AppleScript, and another thing you can do is have the messages marked as read.
Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck getting an Automator workflow or application to work with the rules. However, if you prefer to use a workflow (saved as an application) instead of AppleScript, you can use the same workaround used by Folder Actions. Simply have the rule run an AppleScript which opens the workflow you saved as an application. Open Script Editor and create a new script with the following:
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages these_messages
tell application "/Users/yourName/Documents/use for a mail rule.app"
open these_messages
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
The easiest way to get the path to your workflow (saved as an application) is to delete everything between the double quotes "" and then drag and drop the file between the double quotes "". After you save the script, create a rule in Mail that will open this script. When you get new mail and a message matches the conditions to the rule, it will run this script which will in turn run the workflow you saved as an application from Automator.
With a Mail rule, you can add another action to mark the messages as read, though that's not really necessary since being unread doesn't have to be one of the conditions to match the message. Since the rules are automatically applied when you get new mail messages, it won't bother with any of your old mail. With that said, you can select any messages in Mail and choose to apply rules to them using the command in the Message menu (or the contextual menu from right-clicking).
It may turn out that'll you'll use more AppleScript, either within the workflow using Automator's "Run AppleScript" action, or perhaps by not using Automator at all. With Script Editor, you can open Mail's dictionary and discover what else can be done with Mail. Sorry, I didn't really have much time, but I hope this helps you figure out how you want to approach it. I think using the Mail rules will make it much more automated for you since they work immediately when your email is checked.

Help with dvd drive - region code error

Hi, I really need to change the drive region code on my Ibook G4 (OS X 10.4.10) back to Region 2. I'm allowed to change it one last time.
But the trouble is, when I try and change it and click 'set drive region' it just comes up with an error message -70001, 'There was a problem changing the drive region code.'
I've reset the PMU and PRAM/NVRAM but it still does it.
Can anybody help me at all? It's driving me mad, I was banking on being able to change it back to my Region one last time...

Insert a DVD which is set to play in only one region; if you try using up your last change with a DVD that can play in some but not all regions, that error message will appear. Many DVDs which are set to play in region 2 will also play in region 4.
