Hinted streaming, fast start and the results.
Hi,
I put some clips onto a website recently, some were 5 min movies. I was pleased with the results, as the movies started almost immediately on several computers I tried.
Unfortunately, the client had to wait over 4 min to see the video. My video was compressed with hinted streaming.
So of course 4 min. seems like they downloaded the whole video before it started.
I have a web guy looking into if perhaps this could be a server issue with the customer, but I wanted to check if anyone has some insight to this.
I personally am not really clear on the "hinted vs faststart"
Thanks
Jeff
Hinted steaming is for streaming videos like the Apple's VideoKeynote presentations. For Example:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/appleevents/
Fast start is for progressive download of the video. For example:
http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads/
I have feeling your server is not a streaming server so you need fast start/progressive videos. A fast start video will begin to play after a few seconds while the video is being downloaded into the browser.
Open all your videos in Quicktime. Do a SAVE AS and save each video to a new folder. Doing this will activate (place back) the fast start in each video.
Send one video to the server for a test. Make sure your html embed code for the video has AutoPlay set to true.
(Steaming servers aren't cheap. If you click on the keynote presentation you'll notice that you can jump to anywhere in the video without having to wait for the video to load. Streaming videos don't download to you browser/computer, they stay on the server. Fast start/Progressive video download to you bowser/computer. Also streaming videos are one way to discourage people from downloading the videos. The only way to capture a streaming video is to use a screen capture program, Quicktime X has this capability.)

Hinted streaming, fast start and fast start compressed header
Hi,
I am trying to export a movie trailer from FCP through Compressor for use on a website hosted by Wordpress. I am using h.264 and am trying to decide whether it is optimal to use hinted streaming, fast start or fast start compressed header. I found this discussion stream:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10451326
which was helpful, but stated explicitly to not use fast start compressed header. Can someone explain why not? I am also interested in a more in depth explanation of how/when you would choose each of these options.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
BeckyThe header information would normally be at the end of the file. Fast Start places it at the beginning so that this is the first part of the file to be loaded. This means that you can start playing the movie before it has finished downloading.
Fast Start Compressed Header goes one step further by compressing the header, but it is not always compatible with applications and I believe Adobe Flash Player is unable to play it.
Hinting tells the server the optimal method of streaming the movie, but this is only relevant if you have a streaming server (expensive). For most people, Fast Start will suffice. -
What format in expert settings for fast start on the web?
I exported a slide show to QT from iPhoto. Unlike imovie that gives you the possibility to use expert settings to export a fast start, iPhoto doe not have the option to export to expert settings.
I want my QT slide show to begin to play as it uploads on the .mac web page. By accident, (I don't know what I did) one of my video has a fast start on my web pages, it starts playing before it has finished uploading. On the other hand, most of my other videos or QT slide show, have to fully upload, which can take 5-10 minutes, before the viewer can see it playing.
Also, If I open my QT slide show exported from iPhoto in the size of 7.1MB, and re-export it using QT pro expert settings using Fast start, the file become 91MB big...... way too big to post on the .mac account!
What is the difference between hinted, streaming, fast start, and compressed header? I'm getting a little confused with the choices!!!
please help!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
michelSome iPhoto slide shows (those that use only the fade effect) do not fast start. They are made up of three video tracks slightly offset in time and a tween track that sets the fade.
You could open them in QT Pro and use the save as menu. No re-compression but the file size will become three times larger because each of the video tracks will become independent (for lack of a better word). This new file will fast start.
Exporting isn't a good choice unless you use identical settings to the original (Photo-JPEG video codec and an extremely low frame rate).
The file size of the original is "trick" that can only be performed by iPhoto. -
Question
I am not able to launch FF everytime i try to open it, it says FF has to submit a crash report,and restore yr tabs. I even tried doing that and the report was submitted too, but still FF did not start, and the problem still persists, please help me solve this issue
'''(in English)'''Hi Danny,
Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
but not 180, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
or
=SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

In Indesign CS6 I export an artboard to TIFF with the sdk's funtion SnapshotUtilsEx->ExportImageToTIFF(iStream) and, the resulting file is one pixel too large in the X, leaving a transparent strip on one edge. Any idea if there is a bug in the sdk?
An easy example to prove this bug of Indesing CS6: I create a psd with Photoshop CS6, with width 505 pixels, height 317 pixels and a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. This psd is placed on a page in InDesign CS6. Then I try to export it as a tiff with the functions:
fSnapshotUtilsEx->Draw(flags,fullResolutionGraphics,greekBelowPtSize,enableAntiAliasing,tr ansparencyQuality,abortCheck,pVPAttrMap,bDrawNonPrintingObjects);
and
SnapshotUtilsEx-> ExportImageToTIFF (iStream)
The resulting tiff has a width of 506 pixels (one pixel more in width). It will happen the same if we start with a width of 507 pixels, etc.
This error does not occur with Indesign CS5, nor Indesing CC. -
Hello. My iphone 4, iOS 6.1.3 gone wild....everything is going in slow motion, every app i open is running in frames...i tried reseting the handset, with back-up, without backup(as a new iPhone) and the result is the same. My battery percentage is going down down down only by looking at my phone, imess is making me crazy, after i write the name for the recipient the keyboard appears after 2 min...and the list is looooong...everything is gone wild ! Why? What can i do ?
I'm having similar issues just lately. The phone itself is very slow to respond to the touch, just scrolling between home screens is a chore at times. There have been about 2 incidents of random vibration from it. Closing home screen folders takes a couple of attempts. I find that I'm also having delayed keyboard responses when typing messages to my contacts.
Also, sometimes when I press the sleep/wake button it takes about 30 seconds to register it and actually lock or wake up.
Have you experienced the backlight failing to light up? Like if I get a message it flashes up then goes black straight after and when you press the sleep/wake or home button it lights up again but very very dimly and you have to press the sleep/wake button as if locking it and then press it again to bring the screen up properly?
Mine is also on 6.1.3(10B329), model MD245B/A, obviously not Jailbroken, carrier unlocked from Vodafone (but that was months and months ago). Roughly 17gb of storage space left.
This has only started happening in the last 2 weeks. Haven't tried the reset or anything yet though. -
Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the records?
Note:- I am having the XSD Schema file and the resulted XML file should be in that XSD format only.The Oracle documentation has a good overview of the options available
Generating XML Data from the Database
Without knowing your version, I just picked 11.2, so you made need to look for that chapter in the documentation for your version to find applicable information.
You can also find some information in XML DB FAQ -
My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen.
I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.
Reset SMC no changeRun the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.

Had Search Criteria and the result is displayed in the table in a panel header . I want to get the selected row value and parse the value to next Vo in next page for a bind variable . So i need to handle the tbale value by biniding to the bean , but there was no option to bind the table for a bean.So how can i get the value selected .
Regards,
K M Krishna.First of all tell us your jdev version, please.
to get to the selected row you don't need to bind the table to a managed bean. You can e.g. drag the needed attributes from the VO onto the page and drop them as inputText components. the Framework then generated the attribute bindings and sets the values of the current row to them. As you don't really need the inputText components switch to source mode (!this is essential!) and remove them. This will remove the visual component but the attribute bindings are kept.
Know you can access the values via their EL or like you get the value from an attribute via it's binding.

Hello!
I have some issues with Photoshop CC 2014. The tools "Background Eraser Tool" and "Blur" won't work correctly. When I’m holding down the left mouse button and trying to erase or blur some area, the tools don’t affect the whole area but just connect the start and the last points – like drawing a line. These troubles exist with mentioned tools only, other tools work correctly.
I’ve restored each tool separately, restored all the tools together, installed new drivers for tablet, re-installed Photoshop and even Windows. Nothing helped. These tools worked correctly earlier with the same adjustments, but one day something went wrong.
How can I make the tools work correctly?
Some information about my computer:
• Notebook Lenovo Y560
• Windows 7 Home Basic SP1 x64
• Intel Core i5 2.53 GHz
• 4Gb RAM
• ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 1Gb
• Tablet Wacom Bamboo CTL-470Hi,
I have a similar problem with the Background Eraser tool as well. It's the same both on my PC and on my laptop, both running Win 8.1 and PS CC2014. Would be great to have a solution for this. Did you managed to find a fix? -
How to adjust the green (starting) and the red (end) rectangles pixel by pixel (top, bottom, left and right) by changing the number of pixels in ken burns. Help please.
If you look closely at the top of the canvas pane, as you move either of the boxes (green or red) there is an indication of pixel positions... "top, bottom, left, right," and "scale."
Admittedly, it doesn't seem as if you can "enter" the dimensions with your keyboard, however, as you move the boxes, you have a real time indication of the boxs' locations.
(I couldn't take a screen shot, as you have to actively move the box with a mouse or other input device... thus, I could not also take a screen shot with same device.)
I hope this helps. -
I am having trouble with my Apple ID and AppStore
Here are the steps I have taken and the results:
Changed my Apple ID with new email address.
Changed my iCloud with above new email address.
NOW - Apple ID appears correct in AppStore Settings, iCloud and AppStore*
If I scroll to bottom of screen in *App Store/Featured, I can see that the Apple ID is my new email.
Upon “updating” Apple ID reflects OLD email.
Deleted accounts, re-added accounts.
Signed out and signed in with new UN/Email
Issue remains the same.To migrate your data to a new iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud and turn off all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.), when prompted choose to keep the data on your phone. After everything is set to off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, create the new iCloud account on your phone and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc again. If prompted, choose Merge. This will upload your data to the new iCloud account.

I am using the "fetch all" vi to do this, but it is retrieving one record at a time, (if you examine the block diagram) How can i retrieve all records in a faster more efficient manner?
If this isn't faster than your previous method, then I think you found the wrong example. If you have the Database Connectivity Toolkit installed, then go to the LabVIEW Help menu and select "Find Examples". It defaults to searching for tasks, so open the "Communicating with External Applications" and "Databases" and open the Read All Data. The List Column names just gives the correct header to the resulting table and is a fast operation. That's not what you are supposed to be looking at ... it's the DBTools Select All Data subVI that is the important one. If you open it and look at its diagram, you'll see that it uses a completely different set of ADO methods and properties to retrieve all the data.
