How can I determine if certain footage is interlaced or progressive?
Hi everyone,
I shoot and edit my own ski/snowboard films every year. I use a Sony HDV V1U. When filming, I constantly switch between 30p and 60i depending on the shots. I do this because 60i can provide smoother slow motion in post. Problem is, when I am editing the footage, it is extremely difficult to tell what's progressive and what's interlaced. My computer monitor, like all, is progressive, so interlaced footage looks just like 30p. One way I can tell is by adjusting the clips speed to slow motion, then judging by how Premiere handles the frame blending, I know what it is. But that is not practical for a massive project. A simple solution would be preveiwing on an external monitor, but from what I have read you cannot stream HDV back to a camera from the timeline, and I do not have money for a special capture card.
So my question is, is there any way to playback HDV on an external monitor (my TV or camera LCD) without a special capture card, or is there another easy way to determine 60i from 30p on Premiere's timeline? Thanks.
Here's my specs:
Premiere Pro CS3
Sony HDV V1U camcorder
Windows vista 64bit
Intel quad CPU Q9550 2.83 GHz
8 GB ram
Nvidia GTX 260 graphics card
The problem is the files are not all seperate. In one single file of 45 mins of HDV footage, there is a mixture of 60i and 30p, but the computer will always think it is 60i. I have been filming this way for years, and mixing the 2 record modes is definately the way to go. In my past projects, I was working with DV so it was not a problem.

How can I determine how many events are in my calendars?
The web version of my iCloud Calendar and subsequently also my Calendar.app did show recently various malfunctions and error messages that were inconsistant. Also, Calendar.app crashed when I was editing events. Finally, Calendar.app did complain that my iCloud account would be out of quota, and did direct me to this KB article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489
I did not know about these quotas before which are not really high and quite limiting for use over longer periods of time. After checking them, I think that my real data are below these limits. However, there might be one exception:
- Total number of calendars, events, and reminders: 25,000
25,000 sounds a lot, but when you devide by 6 events per day (which is easily reached if you combine family and buisness, and maybe repeated events also count for each repetition at least after editing), one ends up at 4200 days which is not much more than 11 years. I am using Calendar with data since the year 2000 (for some time I used Palm Desktop that took over the (very) old Mac Calendar application and imported/moved the data when iCloud Calendar became available).
My questions:
- how can I determine the number of events in my calendars?
- which events do count in which way for the quota limit?
- what about events from shared calenders - do they count if owned by another account?
- what about repeated events which are partially edited?
Thanks in advance for any hint!Hi there
I ran into the same problem last year. The solution I used is available here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1693875
Apple don't seem keen to tell you you've reached your limit and if you think that isn't helpful tough luck. I reached due to duplicate events being created. I didn't know what had happened until I eqnuired further on the above forum. Someone needs to create an event counter application. Perhaps they have. Would need to do a search.
However I've now reached the limit again and I'm not sure why, cue more faffing around being required. That's one of the problems of using a Mac computer with an Android phone.
As for the limit, it exists and if you dont like it you need to change the way you work not Apple. That's the impression I get. Alternatively use something else that has more generious limts. I don't know what that would be. I did consider moving my calendars to Google but it would have meant certain functionality would not work in BusyCal, the third part calendar application I use on my Mac computer. -
VBS:How can i determine the last row of an excel-sheet
I want to replace the chn-comments of an datafile. I pick up the chn-names and want to compare them with an excel-file and so get from the excel-file the right chn-comment and store int back in the datafile. my problem is how can i determine where the excelfile-row is on the end to load the loopounter with corr values.
i know one solution via scan on ascii 13 and 9.but bether is to know immediately the length of the column.
answers also in german possible.Peter,
Are you using DIAdem's Excel Import Wizard? By "Excel file" do you mean a tab- or comma-delimited ASCII file that Excel can read in easily, or do you mean a file with the extension "*.xls"? You certainly could not search through an *.xls file to find CR/LF characters.
If you use the ASCII or Excel Import Wizard to create an *.STP file for the "Excel" file in question, then after the *.STP file is loaded you have access to a whole range of variables, starting with Ascii... or Excel... which completely outline the structure of the ASCII or Excel file, including things like the row in which the channel comments are, etc.
Why don't you send over your Excel file and I'll be able to help you a lot better.

Hello. I would like to write async tcp client and server. I wrote this code but a have a problem, when I call the disconnect method on client or stop method on server. I can't identify that the client or the server is no longer connected.
I thought I will get an exception if the client or the server is not available but this is not happening.

Have you debug these two applications? Does it go into the catch exception block when you close the client or the server?
According to my test, it will throw an exception when the client or the server is closed, just log the exception message in the catch block and then you'll get it:
private async void Process()
try
while (true)
var data = await this.Receive();
this.NewMessage.Invoke(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data));
catch (Exception exception)
Console.WriteLine(exception.Message);
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
By the way, I don't know what the SafeInvoke method is, it may be an extension method, right? I used Invoke instead to test it.

How can I determine the type of video out connector I need?
Howdy,
I have a white macbook purchased Jun/2008. I want to connect to a TV but don't know what adapter I need. How can I determine the type of video out jack my macbook has?
System Profiler says the model identifier is "MacBook 4,1". Under Graphics/Displays the only thing it says about the "Display Connector" is that no display is connected. Too bad it doesn't tell me what type of connector it is. If I knew the name of the connector I'd probably be home free. But it seems like every macbook model has a different video connector (since the state of the art has advanced over the years) and I haven't been able to keep up with the names.
Now, I have a 6" long adapter that will convert this connector to VGA. And searching the Apple store for VGA adapters, the existence of mine says my connector is might be one of "Mini DisplayPort", "Apple Mini DVI", "Apple DVI", or "Apple Micro-DVI". But then there is also the connector at
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and that looks like the one I have. But unlike the other adapters, this one is just called a "VGA Display Adapter". Does the connector have a name? How can I find adapters that have that same connector?
I know I could use the adapter I have, plus a VGA to VGA cable, to hook up to a TV. But the quality of the VGA signal is poor in the digital world. My goal is to hook up to the TV via HDMI. Is this even possible? By which I mean, will my macbook generate the signals necessary to be able to be converted to HDMI?
Thanks for any help,
Zebulon TThanks, Ded,
You're right, the cable that I have won't work. I't from my previous, 2004 iBook. This is pretty embarrassing... I looked at the cable but didn't bother to try plugging it in.
Looking at the close-up picture of the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, that does look like the right connector. So I have Mini-DVI, and the other apter you pointed to can convert this to DVI. I'll take a look to see what makes the most sense, connector wise, downstream from that.
Thanks very much.

Hello,
I am at my wits end into this. Either I am doing it the wrong way or it is not possible.
Let me explain. I need a vb script for the following scenario:
1. The script is to run on multiple Windows 7 machines (32-Bit & 64-Bit alike).
2. These are shared workstation i.e. different users login to these machines from time to time.
3. The objective of this script is to traverse through each User Profile folder and get the size of the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder. This information is to be written to a
.CSV file located at C:\Temp directory on the machine.
4. This script would be pushed to all workstations from SCCM. It would be configured to execute with
System Rights
I tried the script detailed at:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/03/31/how-can-i-determine-the-size-of-the-my-documents-folder.aspx
Const MY_DOCUMENTS = &H5&
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_DOCUMENTS)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
strPath = objFolderItem.Path
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath)
Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size
The Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size command in the script at the above mentioned link returned the value as
'0' (zero) for the current logged on user. Although the actual size was like 30 MB or so.
I then tried the script at:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/VB_Script/Q_27869829.html
This script returns the correct value but only for the current logged-on user.
Const blnShowErrors = False
' Set up filesystem object for usage
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Display desired folder sizes
Wscript.Echo "MyDocuments : " & FormatSize(FindFiles(objFSO.GetFolder(objShell.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments"))))
' Recursively tally the size of all files under a folder
' Protect against folders or files that are not accessible
Function FindFiles(objFolder)
On Error Resume Next
' List files
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
On Error Resume Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:01", objFolder.Path
On Error Resume Next
FindFiles = FindFiles + objFile.Size
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:02", objFile.Path
Next
If Err.Number = 0 Then
' Recursively drill down into subfolder
For Each objSubFolder In objFolder.SubFolders
On Error Resume Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:04", objFolder.Path
FindFiles = FindFiles + FindFiles(objSubFolder)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:05", objSubFolder.Path
Next
Else
ShowError "FindFiles:03", objFolder.Path
End If
End Function
' Function to format a number into typical size scales
Function FormatSize(iSize)
aLabel = Array("bytes", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB")
For i = 0 to 4
If iSize > 1024 Then iSize = iSize / 1024 Else Exit For End If
Next
FormatSize = Round(iSize, 2) & " " & aLabel(i)
End Function
Sub ShowError(strLocation, strMessage)
If blnShowErrors Then
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine "==> ERROR at [" & strLocation & "]"
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " Number:[" & Err.Number & "], Source:[" & Err.Source & "], Desc:[" & Err.Description & "]"
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " " & strMessage
Err.Clear
End If
End Sub
The only part pending, is to achieve this for the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder.
Is this possible?
Please help.Here are a bunch of scripts to get folder size under all circumstances. Take your pick.

How can I determine if my iMac is infected with Malware. Internet is very slow at times.
Some time ago I opened a link in an email from a friend and later found out that his email address had been hijacked. The site the link took me to seemed innocuous, but ever since it seems that from time to time that my internet connection is very slow, as if there is not enough band width. Is it possible that my computer is infected with some sort of malware? How can I determine that? If it is infected how can the malware be removed?
Here is the report.
Problem description:
I clicked on a link in a email from a hacked email account and since then my internet connection runs very slow at times. I am concerned that my iMac may be infected with some sort of Malware

How can I determine which computer a share is connected to in /Volumes from terminal or a script?
I run a set of virtual machines via Fusion on an iMac that we run automated tests on for our website. There is a folder on each VM called /Automation that is shared.
I have a python script that runs on the host, that will find an open VM, start it up and then mount the VM's /Automation folder. So if there is only 1 VM powered on, the folder shows up in /Volumes as /Volumes/Automation. The problem is when there are 2 or more VM's powered on, because then the shares start being named /Volumes/Automation-1 and Automation-2 etc. So my question is, how can I determine which computer each share belongs to from terminal or a script?
In other words, I'm looking for something like:
/Volumes/Automation = "FirstVirtualMachineName.local"
/Volumes/Automation-1 = "SecondVirtualMachineName.local"
Is there any way to determine which computer a mounted share is connected to? In the past, I've just unmounted all /Automation folders, and then mounted them in a particular order, but that's unreliable and messy in my opinion. If anyone knows a better way, please let me know. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,Well I think I have a workable solution. It's not perfect, but I think it will do the trick. I can put a spotlight comment on the folder similar to 'HostName=OSX-Automation-1.local' and can then retrieve that value from our server with the following python snippet:
import subprocess
out,err = subprocess.Popen(['osascript','-e','tell application \"Finder\" to get comment of \"Macintosh HD:Volumes:Automation-1\"'],stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE).communciate()
So I could just loop through each 'Automation*' folder in /Volumes and grab the name from the spotlight attributes on the directories. I don't think I really need to worry about the comments being overwritten, but I may have one of our launch daemons that run on the VM check that spotlight comment once a minute or something to ensure that the correct value is there.
If it ends up not working well in practice, I'm going to give your suggestion about a config script a shot. It would require a little more up front work, but seems as if it would be pretty solid after that.
Thanks again for helping me think it through -
How can I determine where to publish each comment in my website?
How can I determine where to publish each comment in my website?
I have one form for the comments, but I want to show them in different webpages depending on the user choice
for example, I created 6 pages blue circle, pink circle, green circle, blue square, pink square, and green square,so the user chooses pink or blue or green from one menu and circle or square from another menu which determine which page it will be displayed on.

thanks for any helpIt's my fault, I lost you there.
See I wrote the steps as they were in "Adobe Help" so please forget about the last comment.
I chose the "advanced mode" because I have more than one menu to filter (shape and color)
lets say I want the comments on my website to be displayed conditionaly, and I have two lists one for colors (blue and pink) and other for shapes (square and circle),
So I'm going to have four pages each page has its own recordset, let's say now I want to filter the recordset for (Blue Circle) page
I don't know how to do it but by following the steps in Dreamweaver help:
-Select name, and click the Select button.
-Select content, and click the Select button.
-Select shape, and click the Where button.
-Select section, and click the Where button.
-Select time, and click the Order By button.
this is how the SQL statement look likes:
SELECT mytable.name, mytable.contents
FROM mytable
WHERE mytable.shape='circle' AND mytable.`section`='blue'
ORDER BY mytable.hdw_serverTime
then to Define the variables 'circle' and 'blue' :
by clicking the Plus (+) button in the Variables area and entering the following values in the Name, Default Value, and Run-Time Value columns:
circle,square,Request("circle")
blue,blue,Request("blue")
Also I understand that I have to define a parameter but which (URL or Form) and how? I don't know -
I have about 5,000 images in a Folder. How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?
I have about 5,000 images in a Folder. How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?
Create a smart collection with criteria "collection" and "does not contain"; and also with criterion Folder contains (or folder contains all)
That works if you are thinking about a specific named collection.
If you are interested in finding photos that are not in ANY collection, the usual trick is "collection" "does not contain" "a e i o u y" -
How can I determine which browser is used(Microsoft IE or Netscape)
As you probely know: Netscape doesn't support the same functionality as IE.
To gain the maxium functionality from IE without solving problems in Netscape, the customer has decided to work with two different stylesheets(one for IE and one for Netscape).
Now my question is, how can I determine in Portal in which browser(IE or Netscape) it is running.
Thanks

Therefor we are using two differenThe browser ID string is a HTTP request parameter. How you get to it depends entirely on what you're programming in. You want to get the value of the User-Agent parameter (for example, in CGI, this is HTTP_USER_AGENT).
However, I'd advise against doing things this way unless you really understand how HTTP works on many levels. One common problem people run into on sending different content based on the browser is that proxy servers will happily cache everything and send content intended for one browser to another.
I have not seen any IE functionality that Netscape does not also have that is worth this hassle, but that's just my very stubborn opinion. :-) -
How can you determine the absolute path to a dynamically created NetStream object?
We are trying to implement video captioning with a freeware component, ccforflash. This requires us to provide an absolute or relative path to our NetStream object. How can we determine this path in Flash CS5 AS3?
From the CCforFlashCS5 documentation:
"2. Object name and path
Type the name and path. This is the instance name of the object with which CCforFlashAS3 will synchronize. It must be spelled correctly, since CCforFlashAS3 will query the object with this name for timing information in order to synchronize the captions. The path must also be included; either relative to the CCforFlashAS3 component (i.e. this.parent) or the absolute path from the main level of the movie (root)."It would be easier if the NetStream object was created on an easily identifiable place on the timeline. This player has an MVC architecture. The NetStream object is created in a subclass to Model class, which is itself a subclass of the EventDispatcher object. The View class access it via an interface.
As you can guess, it's not that straightforward to determine where the NetStream object is located on the timeline. This is compounded by the fact that the NetStream object does not have a name property.
I've tried methods like these, but they only work for the DisplayObject class:
public static function displayObjectPath( avDisplayObject : DisplayObject ) :String
var lvPath:String = "";
do
if( avDisplayObject.name ) {
// var obj_name:String = (avDisplayObject.name == 'root1') ? 'root' : avDisplayObject.name;
if (avDisplayObject.name != 'root1') {
lvPath = avDisplayObject.name
+ ( lvPath == "" ? "" : "." + lvPath );
} else {
trace("displayObjectPath() NO NAME avDisplayObject="+avDisplayObject);
} while( avDisplayObject = avDisplayObject.parent );
return lvPath;
} // displayObjectPath
private function showChildren(d:DisplayObjectContainer):void {
trace("showChildren()");
if (d.numChildren>0) {
for (var c:Number = 0; c < d.numChildren; c++) {
trace("showChildren c=",c," name=",d.getChildAt(c).name); -
I store different channels in a TDMS file.
I like to have a time channel at the first position with group index 1 and number 1.
When I read the TDMS file with DIADEM the time channel (Float64) is on a differernt position, and the channels are not sorted alphabetically.
Here are my questions:
How does DIADEM import TDMS files?
How gets every channel his number and groupindex?
How can I determine which channel has which groupindex and number?
Best regards
JoergHi Jörg,
i suppose that you´re programme whose create the *.tdms file is writing on false position. Try to create datas with timechannel on first indes in diadem, then save it and then open it again. you see that all is correct. So please tell me what programm in what version do you use and please attache it here.
Did you use the library for creating *.tdms files like in the link ?
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6471
Here you find the gtdms_8.x.zip - when you extract it and opened the *.llb you find vi´s for all functions e.g. writing 2d array of strings to *.tdms file
when you open the subvi´s then you see how created and writing datas/structure to *.tdms files. Because *.tdms is binary you can´t see structure with open it in editor.
When you don´t have Labview you can use the 30 days test of current version 8.5 under following link
