How to export DV to H264 with the same quality as other apps.

After some nightmare decision and many recomendations I've decided not to use imovie08 to edit my DV video. So I started using iMovieHD. But after my first project I was shocked. After asembling some clips and export to h264 (no effects, transitions or titles) the quality was far inferior to the same original DV file exported with mffpegx or Mpegstreamclip. You can download here two files to compare:
http://cid-79fe52c9afb5b05d.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Video%20TEst%20iMovieH D
The name of the file refers to the application used to convert.
I export using Quicktime->Expert settings->h264 (I have tried both mp4 or quicktime)
Image size SD (768*576)
Frame rate 25
Bitrate 2000
As you can see using MediaInfo the two files have very close especifications (I couldn't get the exact ones).
Are I'm doing something wrong? Can I get the same quality I get with the other apps? or should I export to DV and then do the conversion with some other program?

Thanks for the input.
You point something interesting, but after further experimenting I get no improvements.
Since there is no deinterlacing in mp4 export, and switch to QuickTime H264. There you get a option to deinterlace, but the result is a movie with near the same quality as the mp4 file. The only improvement is visible in the diagonal lines in the shirt.
The worse thing I see in the video does not have to be with deinterlacing but with the objects being doubled like a picture of a fast moving object or perhaps like the shadow of a phanton. These does not improve at all with deinterlacing the video.

Export to avi with the same quality. How ?!

Hello,
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 to edit my video but i don't know how to export to avi file with the same quality...?!
In the previous version Premiere Pro CS3 i can export the video into avi with the same quality using Windows Media Video 9 Codec but in Premiere Pro CS5 i don't know how to do it...!!
Best Regards,

After you have downloaded and installed Lagarith and UT, reboot and just choose to Export to MS AVI, and then in the Compressor drop-down, choose the one that you want.
Good luck,

I am agree with you Bill but how can we import these codecs into adobe premiere pro.Because it expects only .epr extension for importing presets.Is there any other way then let me know.Thanks in advance

How to export string in CDATA with the jaxb xml writer?

How to export string in CDATA with the jaxb xml writer?
It read CDATA no problem but it is lost on write.

Found it:
### THIS WORKS WITH SUN JAXB REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION. ###
(Not tested with any other)
In the xsd, you must create a type for your string-like element.
Then associate a data type converter class to this new type, which will produce CDATA tags.
Then you must set a custom characterEscapeHandler to avoid the default xml escaping in order to preserve the previously produced CDATA tag.
Good luck.

The crash report that you posted says the crash occurred during an OpenGL instruction. This means that there is a problem with OpenGL in your current graphics card drivers. I would suggest you do some research online about your graphics card model and its OpenGL 2.0 support. Perhaps there are others out there with similar issues in other OpenGL based applications.
Here are a
few more troubleshooting tips you can try, if you still have the strength for it. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time, but we'll try to get you through it.

Will iTunes 10 & iTunes 11 work together? If not, how do I combine 2 libraries with the same account?

My 2005 iMac (which can't be updated to Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion and so is stuck with iTunes 10) has thousands of my songs, over 80GB of music mostly from CDs and other uploads/downloads. In 2008 we got an iMac for the family room; somehow although we have the same iTunes account for that computer, we started fresh with no tracks, and built up its own library for family use. Now we've bought two iPhones which aren't recognized by the '08 iTunes/Mac OS, so I want to upgrade the '08 iMac (the only one I can) and I have the Snow Leopard software to do so.
But I'm concerned that once the two computers have different versions of iTunes, I will lose the ability to home-share the music library from the '05 iMac on the '08 iMac, and because of that I won't be able to store any of my older Mac's tracks on the iCloud or access them on my iPhone. (Of course I don't want to have to pay for 80GB+ on the cloud!)
Has anyone got two versions of iTunes on two computers with the same account and are you able to home-share together and access tracks on your iPhones from an older version?
What do Apple users recommend? I'm thinking my best bet might be to combine the two libraries, which as I said are on the same account, but I don't know how to go about doing this. How much time would it take with 80GB? (I could probably do without 15% or 20% of those tracks, but it's still a lot, I don't know if it's instantaneous or if it uploads each track one at a time, I can imagine that taking two days.)
The older Mac's tracks, the 80GB, are the ones I really want, it took years to collect and upload all that, finding photos for some of the more esoteric albums/songs, etc. The newer Mac only has 2.5GB in its iTunes and I guess it wouldn't be the worst thing if I had to reload those, if the 80GB library had to wipe out the 2.5GB one.
Thanks so much to anyone who can help me! If I can start this tonight and have it run overnight (if necessary) that'd be great, otherwise I'm hoping I can get this done Sunday. By the way, technologically, I have the '05 iMac hooked up to a 1st Gen Time Capsule and the '08 iMac getting WiFi from that.

Thank you for replying. Both of the accounts are Admin accounts. The Libraries are kept in the user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on each account. However, I do use multiple iTunes Libraries on my Account1. One of the Libraries I use in Account1 is on a separate internal HD. However, the other Libraries I use in Account1 are stored in user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on the main HD (which hosts both Account1 and Account2). It doesn't seem to matter whether I am using an iTunes Library on an external drive or the main drive in Account1, I still get the same problem: only account1 library will load. AppleTV sees that the Account2 Library is there, but it won't load it.

How can i distinguish two controls with the same name?

I'm recording automated tests with VS 2012 Coded Ui Test for testing a web application.
In that web application it is possible to enter data in something looking like a list.
There is - per example - an Edit control sitting on a ColumnHeader with the name/text "Description".
Below that header is another Edit control for data input - containing the text "Description" too and which lies on a Cell control.
When i playback my recording, Coded UI Test looks for a control with the name "Description" and gets the one, it finds at first.
In that case the Edit on the ColumnHeader, which causes an exception, when the Text will be setted with the data input from the recording.
Unfortunately the controls have no ID.
Is there a way to distinguish controls with the same name?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Patrick Pirzer,
>>Is there a way to distinguish controls with the same name?
Based on the blog "How does “Coded UI test” finds a control ??", we know that to really find a control, it would be related to the unique properties as the search properties,
so if two controls have the same property, please use other unique property as the search property would be better.

How can I have two fields with the same name if it makes sense?

Hello, folks :)
I have a pretty hard time figuring out how I can have two text fields with the same binding name.
The whole problem is that when I need two fields with the same binding name they are still differnent coz they have the same name but differnt indices.
I should make a form filled at runtime by merging a pdf form file and an fdf file data file. And I have no choice to do it differently. And my form file needs some data like customerName, companyName twice in one form. But there's only one possible buinding name indexed zero.
How can I create a field with absolutely the same name or is it just impossible due to possible name conflicts? And is there a workaround to this problem? I just need one piece of data repeated in different places.
Thanks for your replies :)
P.S. if u think that the problem is not clear enough let me know. I'll supply you with more details. But the general process can not be changed.
One pdf should be mergred with an fdf with as the result of their merge a new filled and flattened form. I have no control over fdfs their are generated by Oracle and I can not fill the form using XML files coz this process should be integrated in a working application.

I just thought about a really ugly workaround with a server-side script adding values to fdf files but it's a bit of work and tests and personally i think it's a bad idea :-(

How to differentiate between Radio Buttons with the same name?

My form has two fields, to which I gave the same name ("Radio Button 1.0") in order to achieve mutual exclusivity.
Now, I would like to use JavaScript to retrieve the value of one the two fields:
var checkMark = this.getField("Radio Button1.0");
if (checkMark.value == "Yes") {
Questions:
What is the proper way to inspect the value of a Radio Button? I have tried this:
if (checkMark.value == "No") [...]
but it doesn't seem to work.
How can I tell apart 2 radio buttons with the same name?
TIA,
-RFH

When Radio Buttons and Check Boxes are unchecked their value is "Off", so if you have "Yes", "No" buttons you will also encounter an 'Off" value. Now if you want to look at a given button, you will have to use the "isBoxChecked(nWidget)" method.
nWidget:
The 0-based index of an individual radiobutton or checkbox widget for this field. The index is determined by the order in which the individual widgets of this field were created (and is unaffected by tab-order).
Every entry in the Fields panel has a suffix giving this index, for example MyField #0.
Returns
true if the specified widget is currently checked, false otherwise.
Example
var f = this.getField("ChkBox");
if(f.isBoxChecked(0))
app.alert("The Box is Checked");
else
app.alert("The Box is not Checked");

How to open a new tab with the same current directory in a terminal?

I use the following script to open a new terminal with the same pwd.
I'm wondering how to modify it to open a new tab with the same pwd.
#!/bin/sh
# Open a new terminal in the cwd
CWD=`pwd`
osascript<<END
set thePath to "$CWD"
set myPath to (POSIX file thePath as alias)
try
tell application "Terminal"
activate
do script with command "cd \"" & thePath & "\""
end tell
end try
END

bit of a hack, but the make command doesn't seem to work for tabs in terminal. replace what's currently in the 'try' block with this code:
tell application "Terminal" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Terminal"
keystroke "t" using command down
end tell
end tell
tell application "Terminal"
do script "cd " & (quoted form of thePath) in last tab of window 1
end tell

Export values to listbox with the same format

Dears,
kindly i need some support please to solve this problem.
I have a listbox that retrieve a data as per auto filter based on 3 criteria, but these data isn't retrieved with the same format, i retrieve these data from tow different tables, both of them exported with the default format,
note: the table source is imported via "Existing connections" but the values format are processed at both of all, is this problem related to the data source or lixtbox options
i uploaded the whole workbook, you can call the userform from sheet that called "Interface", and fill the 1 & 2 combobox with any inputs, and the last combobox you have to choose "Dec", then hit "Daily" or "Monthly"
button

thanks a lot,

Either you need to reformat the values in memory as required before populating to the ListBox, or if the cells are formatted the way you want you can read the cell's text values, though not in one go as an an array.
Based on a quick look of your code above try the following, but adapt if it's not quite right
Set fa = Aux.Range("a1").CurrentRegion
nc = fa.Columns.Count
ca = Array(3, 10, 14, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24) ' columns you want
'' don't need this
' For i = LBound(ca) To UBound(ca)
' fa.Columns(ca(i)).Copy Aux.Cells(1, nc + 3 + i) ' create final range
' Next
Dim lastRow As Long, j As Long ' put these up top
' after copying to Aux, but no need to
lastRow = Aux.Range("a100000").End(xlUp).Row
ReDim arr(1 To lastRow, LBound(ca) To UBound(ca))
For i = LBound(ca) To UBound(ca)
For j = 1 To lastRow
arr(j, i) = Aux.Cells(j, ca(i)).Text
Next
Next
Me.ListBox1.List = arr

How to fill an 8x10 page with the same image for making buttons?

How do you make a button template using the grid? How do you import the image onto that, and how do you fill an entire page with the same image ie- 1" circles

I'm trying to do the same thing but I want 1" squares. I just upgraded from Elements 6 and I did this
quite often for pendant necklaces. I used to go and print individual prints, but the previous options are not there. ;(
And the picture package is only showing 20 (2x2) as being the smallest size. I don't see a custom button.
Can anyone tell me how to do this? We're doing these for a fundraiser and I can't even print anymore.
Thanks,
Kimberly
