How does Compressor handle the upscaling??? Architecture animation render.

good5day!
it seems that the due date is becoming my do date for a 3d architectural animation. therefore i'm looking for alternatives.
for the first time* i need to deliver an animation as dvd movie (previously- mov, mpeg, avi, xvid blabla)
when i want perfect quality, i render an animation in 1280x720px (16:9), format-uncompressed .mov or targa image sequence. steping up this resolution is insane, render time would be years for my machine...:)
well, but this time..no time
therefore:
if i did the render in 853x480 (also uncompressed mov or tga), how would apple final cut compressor perform when upscaling to 1280x720px (720p)? is the upscale factor too big for getting good quality? or compressor can handle it?
the presentation will be shown on apple 24" displays (where probably even SD DVD would look good if watched from reasonable distance) and as i am informed- a monster tv, dunno what they meant, but it's scary:)
so- anybody has experience/knoledge about upscaling vs quality in compressor?
thanks in advance,
reinis

If you are planning to play these back from QT player, there might be some advantage in having Compressor scale these up to HD resolution. Compressor should be able to do a good job with the upscaling, but it will take a long time, particularly if you turn on the frame controls.
The only other option for full-screen playback that I know of would be DVD Player, for which you would have to play back a VIDEO_TS folder from the hard drive. I don't think it will play back an HDDVD build, in which case you might as well encode an SD mpeg. You are still converting the frame size in this case, and compressor will take a long time.
To get the output to the Monster TV (eek!) you might find the most expedient method would be to create an SD DVD and play it back with an upscaling DVD player. I find that upscaling in hardware in this way can often give better HD quality than trying to convert in software.

MappedByteBuffer - How does it handle the physical memory?

Hello!
I have some question regarding the java.nio.MappedByteBuffer class. I am wondering how does it exactly handle the physical memory.
As first, I guess when I map a file into the the memory it does not mean that the whole file is being read into the physical memory. Am I right?
My second question is, if I map more files into the memory, is there a real danger that I will get an out-of-memory exception? Is available any official resource about the memory management of this class?
And my third question is, what is more efficient way at all, to use the MappedByteBuffer class or to use a FileChannel?
I am looking forward to your replies!

I am wondering how does it exactly handle the physical memory.Java maps the file into virtual memory, the OS determines how to translate virtual memory into physical memory. Java has no control over how the OS does this, nor should it need to.
As first, I guess when I map a file into the the memory it does not mean that the whole file is being read into the physical memory. Am I right?True, map != read or what would be the point.
My second question is, if I map more files into the memory, is there a real danger that I will get an out-of-memory exception? An out of memory ERROR occurs when you run out of heap space. If you create enough file maps you are likely to run out of file handles or some other resourfe before you run out of heap.
Exception != Error.
Is available any official resource about the memory management of this class?Which class?
And my third question is, what is more efficient way at all, to use the MappedByteBuffer class or to use a FileChannel?It depends on what you are doing.

How does Safari handle fonts? Because the fonts looks different

Hi,
I "developped" (please don't laugh) a webpage in Firefox.
http://test.patrickeischen.com
Safari however changes the font, font-size and line-height which is not what I want. Does Safari handle the fonts different that other browsers?
Patrick

I think the problem is with an error in this line in the CSS:
font: small/1.75em , Tahoma, "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, sans-serif;
There should not be a comma after "small/1.75em". That line should read:
font: small/1.75em Tahoma, "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, sans-serif;
Other web browsers are probably being forgiving about that error and interpreting that line of CSS as it is intended, while Safari is balking at that error and ignoring everything after the comma that doesn't belong.
I noticed that error when I was skimming through the CSS looking for your font declarations. But you can also find it by running the W3C CSS validator, a very handy tool when working on web sites, along with the W3C HTML validator. While these won't in themselves help you understand everything there is to know about web coding errors and browser display differences, using them to minimize or eliminate your coding errors often helps narrow down other problems as well.

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

[solved] How does Pacman handle config files?

Hi,
I've read that Pacman handles config files by comparing their hashes in 3 different statuses.
(which are in current status, new status, and original status)
The current config file's hash is easily obtained, and so does the new ones'.
But how does Pacman get the original one's hash?
Can someone tell me, please?
Thank you, and happy new year,

I do not need anything to change on my email that is working fine on both.

gspielman,
Help has arrived to assist you with getting those contacts on both your devices. The Verizon cloud service is definitely a great tool to use and you can also use Apple iCloud as well. When you sign into the Verizon cloud on your iPad does it give an option or message to restore?

How does FCP handle 23.98 DV Files?

Hi All,
Has anyone Edited using the DV-NTSC 24P (23.98fps) Easy Setup?
1) How does FCP handle this video connected to a DV Converter Box like the Canopus ADVC-110?
2) Does it actually play at 23.98fps on a monitor connected to the DV Converter Box?
3) Does it get converted to 29.97fps somewhere in the process before it gets displayed?
4) is it displayed at 29.97fps or is it really being displayed at 23.98fps?
these are things that I am not sure of.
sorry if I posted this message a couple of times. I didn't know that hitting the "Tab" Button posts the message, I thought it would just function like the Tab in a normal Text editor and indent a line. But here it doesn't.
thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the feed back. I guess I should fill in the caps a little.
*DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE:*
One of our main Clients Disney, is migrating to a Tapeless Workflow based on ProRes HQ 422 @ 23.98fps. From here on out, they will only send us ProRes HQ 422 1920x1080 files @ 23.98fps and they want us to Edit every project we work on for them @ 23.98fps. At the moment, it doesn't sound like they care if we Edit our projects in ProRes HD or some SD format, but the important thing to them is that we edit @ 23.98fps.
PROBLEM:
Our facility doesn't have the infrastructure to support 25 machines accessing ProRes HQ 422 files. Our facility was built to support DV NTSC @ 29.97fps and we have been working this way fairly well, for a number of years.
SOLUTION:
I am trying to find a way to continue to us our current equipment and satisfy Disney's request to work on all their projects at 23.98fps, starting from 1920x1080 ProRes HQ 422 files @ 23.98fps. So, it was my hope to be able to take the 23.98fps ProRes files and export them to 23.98fps DV NTSC. This way we wouldn't have to reconfigure our entire Facility (which would cost a couple hundred Thousand dollars).
My approach was to:
1) Use Media Manager to render a new DV NTSC file at 23.98fps, which it does pretty well for the most part. It keeps the Timecode consistent between the two files (very important), but doesn't allow you to Letterbox the 16x9 video in the 4x3 frame, it just stretches it to fill the entire 4x3 frame (not so good).
2) Then import the newly created DV NTSC 23.98fps file into a FCP Project based on the DV NTSC 24(p) 23.98fps EASY SETUP. Which works well. No problems there.
3) Then Play the file in FCP out through a Firewire based Canopus ADVC-110 DV Converter connected to a SD Sony Monitor. This seemed to worked fine also.
The fact that it plays is great!!!! But, that brings up the question, is it really playing a 23.98fps?
My understanding of Standard Definition and specifically DV NTSC, is that it can only be displayed at 29.97fps, it doesn't support 23.98fps natively. So the fact that it played when I tested it got me thinking that I may be missing something here and DV NTSC and other SD equipment (like the Sony SD Monitor) can playback/support 23.98fps SD video. But that goes against everything I know up to this point!!!
Have I been wrong all this time?
1) Can SD Video and DV NTSC Video be displayed at 23.98fps?
2) Or is it getting converted to 29.97fps somewhere in the process before it is getting displayed?
3) If it is getting converted back to 29.97fps, then where is it getting converted, FCP or in the DV Converter Box?
I am sorry I went a little long on this email, but it is a problem that will have great influence on they way we work for a couple of years to come!!
Thanks for your input!!

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Maybe this extension helps:

This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!

Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height

In Photo 1.0, how does one access the map showing where all photos were taken, as could be done previously in iPhoto?

In Photo 1.0, how does one access the map showing where all photos were taken, as could be done previously in iPhoto?

Hi JohnDory,
The information side-bar from iPhoto has been removed in Photos App, and so it's been converted into a pop-up window showing both the exposure, aperture and so technical photo parameters, as well as the comments, faces and LOCATION for that photo.
This small floating window is shown whenever you click the button in the app title bar, right clicking a specific photo or pressing ⌘i
If you open the albums view (clicking in the name of the album list, NOT an album name, you can see in your left sidebar - which can be shown or hidden) and press ⌘i without selecting a specific photo the Info pop-up will show the map for your whole library (as well as the total amount of photos, videos, GB used, etc)
So, I'm afraid the "Locations" view (which I really loved) from iPhoto has been ripped off... and we can only get "some sort of locations view" by this method.
As for locations... there is no option for manual geotagging (so, setting location to a specific photography which doesn't have it yet)... that really ****** me off

How does apex detect the MIMETYPE of an upload?

Hello,
I need to import a bunch of files from the OS filesystem to my own table (blob).
For implementing the download of these files I need to know the mimetype.
Now, the files are stored in my table, but I have no clue how to detect the mimetype of
my files (blob).
How does Apex detect the mimetype of an uploaded file?
Thanks,
Michael
Edited by: MJaro on 21.09.2010 15:52, Reason: little typo

Michael,
Mimetype detection is done during upload, if you don't have a mimetype column in your table where APEX can store it, this information is lost.

How does oracle suggest the archive log

Hi All,
My question is about user managed backup and recovery.
For User managed hot database refreshes.
We create a new controlfile and do cancel based recovery.
How does oracle suggest the next archive to apply when we do "recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;"
I mean we created a new control file ..rt.
where is the information about the archivelogs stored.
Thanks,
Silver

In the controlfile.
The "using backup controlfile" means using a backed up controlfile, and you want to fool Oracle into thinking a point in time recovery will happen so don't use what would be the controlfiles current scn time to automatically say the recovery is complete. If you have created a new controlfile, all it can know about is where the logs should be and compare to what log sequences the datafile headers have. So it uses the init.ora parameters and what the data file headers have in them to figure it out. http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:3151992035532#36651366990046
If you backup controlfile to trace you can see log files that have the incarnation history. See "Recovering Through a RESETLOGS with a Created Control File" in Performing User-Managed Recovery: Advanced Scenarios
