How to use a better codec.

Hi, guys.
I've installed a codec on my system called "Lagartith", which is said to be completely lossless. I don't know exactly where it lives, but it's in the box somewhere!
I thought it would be handy if I could coax PE7 to use it when encoding my films.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Kurt

Haha! I'm not even going to go to that Red Camera link, Hunt, in case I get tempted to mortgage the house!!
Thanks for that in-depth info on codecs. To answer your follow-up question, I wanted to be able to improve the final output using a lossless codec, instead of the PE7 one. Not that I have a clue what PE7 uses, but I figured it probably wasn't completely lossless.
Anyway, I'd best just stick to the defaults for a while before I try to get too fancy.
I should say at this point that I'm a rank amateur, and haven't a clue about much of the secret life of my computer's software. Although I'm not totally ignorant, and I'm probably more computer-literate than most of my friends and family, I'm nevertheless just feeling my way in this field of video editing with a PC. Before this, I used a Mac, with its entry-level suite, and I picked that up quickly.
But having bought a new computer purpose-built and dedicated to all things graphical, I'm having to educate myself pretty quickly! For some odd reason I expected that an upmarket app like PE7 would be a piece of cake and that I'd be able to just set it to cruise control and sit back like Homer Simpson. But I'm discovering otherwise, and actually I'm loving it! It's a challenge to the gray matter.
Cheers,
Kurt.

Singletons - How to use it better?

The web application has Actions <--> Services <--> Implementations. The user comes to the UI, changes some settings (pagination size, show/hide properties), and these settings are saved in an XML file. The XML file is read/written by a 'UIConfiguration' class and settings are stored as a bean. My singleton 'ConfigService' instantiates this UIConfiguration. The code is like this (how do I post code here?)
public class ConfigService {
private Configuration uiConfiguration;
private static ConfigService instance = null;
private Map<String, ConfigBean> uiConfig;
private ConfigService(){
init();
private void init(){
uiConfiguration = new UIConfiguration();
try {
uiConfig = uiConfiguration.getConfigurations();
} catch (Exception e) {
public String getServerUrl(){
return "http://"+ uiConfig.get("server.hostname").getValue()
+ ":" + uiConfig.get("server.port").getValue();
public String getUIProperty(String propertyName){
return uiConfig.get(propertyName).getValue();
public static ConfigService getInstance(){
if(instance == null)
instance = new ConfigService();
return instance;
public void updateUIConfig(Map<String, ConfigBean> configs){
uiConfig = configs;
public Map<String, ConfigBean> getAllUIProperties(){
return uiConfig;
**Things that I think that I am not doing right are:* *
1. I have ConfigService.getInstance() in the contextlistener.
2. Also, everywhere in the application I do ConfigService.getInstance() whereever I need a UI property.
3. I do ConfigService.getInstance().updateUIConfig(configurations) in my UIConfiguration class when I update the properties.
Is this a right way to do this? Is there any better/clean way of doing this. I also use Spring to inject services into my action classes. Can that help to better the behavior anyhow?
Please help me here.

On the other hand, if you have a lot of getInstance() calls in the same method or class, you might want to make a local or member variable and just assign it once, rather than repeatedly calling the method. This would be more for simplicity and clarity, but if you have a lot of activity there across many threads, it's possible that lock contention (if you go with lazy instantiation and a synchronized getInstance() method) could have a performance impact. (Do NOT assume that it will and then munge up your code just based on that. Only make performance-related changes if you have measured and found that to be a bottleneck.)
One other issue is whether you should even have a Singleton in the first place. There's been a lot of backlash against Singleton lately. It's true that it is overused and abused, but, IMHO, the backlash has been just as over the top and knee-jerky as the initial "let's use singleton everywhere" approach. There are cases where singletons are appropriate. Yours may be one, or it may not. I don't know enough of your design to comment on it one way or the other, and I'm not interested in pursuing that question. I just want to raise the issue to you as something to think about and possibly research further.

How long use with BETA drivers

2_08_0002Beta driver has been a ok driver!! But when will we get a full retail driver? A company like Creative should and could make real working drivers you think?
I want new drivers for my Audigy 2 card, and yes i know there are 2_07_0004 drivers out, but they are originally for X-Fi! So please creative... make me a happy costumer!!

The most reliable way would be to load each driver (and all code using it) using its own classloader.
But that would likely be overly complicated.
The most viable solution will likely be (especially as this is a short term project, you say it's going to be retired soon) to ensure a commit after every smaller subset of the total data volume and keep using the Oracle 8 drivers.
Try forcing a commit after say every 100 records and see if you still have the timeout problems. Most likely this will take care of your problems at the cost of a slight performance decrease (but better somewhat less than optimal performance than risk database corruption or crashing applications, right?).

Hi, I switched off photo stream in iphone in settings and as a result those photos even got deleted in iPad. How do I retrieve them? How to use this better to avoid such stuff?

I switched off photo stream in my iphone and as a result those 1 months photos got deleted on iPad. How can I retrieve them? How to avoid this in future?

This happened because iCloud only keeps photo stream photos in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photo will remain on your device until deleted. Turning off photo stream deleted them from your device; reconnecting to photo stream redownloads photos from the last 30 days (as older ones are no longer in iCloud).
To keep your photos permanently, import them to your computer while they are still in your camera roll, as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. To save photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll so they can be imported too.

How to use opus codec in pjsip in ios ?

how to use opus codec in pjsip in ios ?

Hi Jay,
     Thanx for quick response,
     Do you mean to say that to use h264 or vp6 I have to make application in another technology/ using open source library as plugin.
     or we can directly use h264 in our application, as like we have option for two codec for audio in that, and just setting the codec property we were able to use.
Thanx in advance.

how to use opus codec with pjsip library ?

Hi,
The pageDef in app B must have an entry for the method in order to access it. Just adding the adfjar isn't enough.
You need to go the bindings of the page in app B and add the method you want to access. Once the method is added you can access using the following code:
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("getWeatherbyCityName");
Map map =operationBinding.getParamsMap();
map.put("theCityName", "Tokyo");
operationBinding.execute();
This should work.
Thanks,
Siddharth.

How to use Buffering to make image better

Rigth now I have a DFS maze program, that basically is like a grid maze with three buttons. Randomize (which, duh, randomizes the maze), Solve, and Statistics. When I click on the statistics button, another "wing" opens up on the left showing a text area. But when the text area is being built, what is actually going on in the background processing, is that thousands of maze iterations are running, and then the statistics is printing out. Of course when these iterations are running the maze screen goes blank, and there is one long blink. I would like to make it so that the last maze image stays, until all the statistics in the background is done, and then just the statistics is shown, and not the final maze iteration. So basically the maze image on the right will just be the maze image right before the statistics started running.

Does anyone know if apple's one-to-one program would be a good way to learn how to use logic pro or am I better off going to school to learn audio engineering or something?

Of course going to school would be a good option, but I want to know if one-to-one is also a good way to learn how to use logic pro. Has anyone been through the one-to-one program for logic pro and can say that they learned how to use logic pro well because of it?

For sure, one to one training, if given by a tutor who is capable, will hand you the means to build up self-confidence and will therefore let you operate the hard/software in an intelligent manner, instead of going for the trial and error method which has its pro's and con's too. Once you've passed this beginners phase you will make your own decisions intelligently and then you will also start to get experience and learn even from your mistakes. Something like that in theory and the rest is up to you!

How to use Lightroom 1.0 w/ CS Beta and Bridge Beta 2

I am currently using CS3 beta and Bridge Beta 2 and Windows XP Pro, and I have ordered Lightroom 1.0.
I have a few questions as I envision the workflow{s} I might be able to use:
1. Can I export to CS3 Beta or will I need to export to CS2 until the final CS3 comes out.
2. Can I edit in CS3 Beta directly from Lightroom 1.0?
3. I am confused as to the role of Bridge 3.7 might play in the above scenarios.
Thanks,
Ina

Well, ACR 3.7 will play a role in allowing Bridge and CS2 the ablility to interpret Lightroom adjustments. ACR 4 with CS3 is an even greater upgrade.
From LR you will be able to select 'edit in Photoshop' and the image will open in Photoshop with your LR adjustments applied. LR will then update the new file (TIFF, PSD, whatever you choose) to show your PS edits.
I hope that helps.

Compressor output to FLV using Flash Pro Codec?

I was told by an Apple Tech support person, after venting my frustrations over Apple's website promoting Compressor being able to output to FLV, that Compressor CAN output to FLV using the FLV codec that is available if you have Flash Pro Installed. (Part of CS3 Web Bundle)
I need to build things in Motion and output to Flash for website use, without having to spend almost $1000 for a motion plug-in. I think this is the only time that Apple has really advertised something that's not available without a lot more third party expense.
So... can someone explain how to use the Flash Pro Codec in Compressor to output to FLV?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Will H.

I have Final Cut Studio 2 as well as the Adobe Flash encoder and can't transfer a Quicktime to a FLV that plays back on ether of my systems. I shouldn't have to buy another application to do this.
Hope you or someone can help.
Standard misperception of FLV. FLV is not a self-contained movie, it requires a Flash Player running inside a Web page or the Flash application. You cannot even open the Flash Player and play an FLV unless the Flash Player…nevermind. It's weird, but that's Adobe for you.
You can play it back easily inside Adobe's free Media Player (it's beta but harmless). Free download for both Winderz and MAcintosh.

Uprezzing film timeline which uses two different codecs

So I have my final film edit in FCP 6 which uses two different codecs...DVCPROHD 720p60 at 23.98fps and HDV 1080p24 at 23.98fps. There are only about 15 clips which are the HDV codec. My next step is to color correct in apple Color. So I did a quick test where I sent a couple clips of each codec, on the same timeline, into Color and back out into FCP, which seemed to roundtrip without any hitches...the only difference is that the DVCPRO clips came back as ProRes 422HQ 1280x720 and the HDV clips came back as 1920x1080...which is all fine. However, I do want 1080p (1920x1080) as my final output...for Bluray as well as DCP if my film gets picked up by a festival. So what I plan to do for my final output is export my completed Colored timeline to compressor and use ProRes 422 HQ at 1080p. My question is...since there isn't a specific 1080p ProRes HQ codec (like there is for DVCPROHD) but simply the "Geometry" tab in Compressor where you can change the 'Dimensions' to 1920x1080...is this how I "Uprez" my DVCPRO 720p clips to match my HDV 1080p clips?
I just want to make sure NOW, that my workflow will be good all the way up to finishing, before I start sending sections of my timeline to Color...
Thanks!
David

OK...you wanted a 1080p final, right? So why shrink the HDV down to 720p, and then blow it back up to 1080p? That's the point of doing both formats separately, and upscaling only the 720p...keeping the HDV at full size. How noticeable will it be? Test to find out. Personally, I'd do it my way.
And yes, upscale AFTER you color correct. As for re-color correcting down the line...why? Color correcting is the final process...do it until it's right...why would you go back? And if you did adjust a couple shots, then just render those back out, and only upscale those and put into that final sequence again. It's a small patch.
>why is it better to send the DVCPRO 720p stuff for upscale BEFORE marrying it with the HDV 1080p stuff.
because the HDV is already 1080. Scaling it down to 720, then back up will be TWO generation losses. Why do that?
>my method of upscaling the 720p with the 1080p stuff at the same time seemed logical to me (the 720p is upscaled while the 1080p stays the same)
But it doesn't...you first will be shrinking it to 720p...then blowing up to 1080p. And HDV is a GOP format without real frames, so the compression really pops when you upscale.
>just want to know WHY your method is better??
Because I tested this out..mixing 720p DVCPRO HD and HDV...and my method gave the best results. Call it "experience."

How do I get a codec which will support my avi files?

How do I get a codec which will support my avi files from my D90?

Lightroom 5.5 is the latest version. If you don't want to wait for the next release, you can download Adobe DNG Converter 8.6RC which will transform your D810 NEFs into DNGs that the current version of Lightroom can use.
Download Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.6 Beta - Adobe Labs
The above URL will evidently download both Camera Raw and the DNG Converter release candidates.
