I feel like such a noob!!

Hello All.
I'm having some problems I can't seem to get around.
1) I made some slide shows in FotoMagico and wrote them out to DV movie and then imported into DVDSP, when I simulate the menu they look not to bad but the lines are moving all over the place like a ripple effect or something (pictures of bathrooms and houses panning and zooming)
2) I made some scrolling text in motion and exported as animation with alfa, I then imported into DVDSP, made a drop zone and linked the scrolling text movie. I tried many settings and I still get the dancing text effect in DVDSP when viewing.
3) I am making this DVD for a housing company and most of their customers will be watching this on their TV. When I view the latest build on my computer at normal size it looks good (except for the above), but when I view at full screen everything looks like crap... How can I make this look good for use on a 24inch TV?
It's a read for sure but I would really appreciate the help.
Thank you for reading.
Christopher

1) Are you referring to interlacing? If your final destination is a standard def TV, then you should interlace your video. The interlacing can look odd on a computer screen. The latest version of Apple's DVD Player can deinterlace.
2) If you want the best looking menus then you should create the entire menu in Motion (or FCP) then turn into an MPEG-2, then bring into DVD SP along with a overlay file for your buttons. Do not add any text or graphics to your menus in DVD SP.
3) Your standard definition TV at any size (12", 24" or 56") is limited to 720x480 resolution. Pretty low res compared to a modern computer screen. But the thing is, you have been watching low res standard def your entire life. Did you notice? Only when the same image on a high def screen (your computer screen). So, no will care that your standard def image is being shown on a standard def TV.
On a side note, 20 years from now there will be a whole generation of people who will have seen nothing but HDTV. When they watch an old episode of Seinfeld, they will probably say, "Why is this show so soft and fuzzy looking?" You won't even notice, because you haven't noticed all these years.

  • [SOLVED] New Install of Gnome 3.2 doesn't feel like loading

    Greetings,
    Before making this post, I have spent the majority of the day trying to solve this issue. I have switched from nvidia drivers to nouvela (sp?) drivers, incase that was the issue. I have scoured google, arch-wiki, and the forums until my eyes have bled. I have dug through the xsession-errors log to search out any missing components that might be causing this... but to no avail. If anything, trying to run and try Gnome 3.2 has made me feel like a complete idiot, who has obviously learnt nothing after years of using linux. So, I come here hoping that some one can point me to the solution my brain cannot itself come up with.
    Here the situation:
    I have been running KDE4 for quite some time happily. I have ran Gnome 3 back in its beginning days succesfully as well, but that was an older, now dead, pc. Having seen some neat little things about the new Gnome 3.2, I got an itch to give it a try. So, I go and follow the Gnome article on the excellent arch wiki- installing both gnome and gnome extras, letting it grab everything, change from kdm to gdm, and reboot.
    Well, it gives me the old gdm I remember from the early gnome 3 days (wasn't this changed) despite it showing that it is GDM 3.2 via pacman. It shows my user name, lets me put my password, and shows the stripped background. One thing to note is that the cursor remains a clock face, never changing to a pointer.
    I log in, choosing GNOME, all that remains is the wallpaper, with the clockface cursor, no pointer. I go take the kids to the bus stop, come back apx. 20 min. later, no change.
    Ok, bug crushing time right? So I go through the steps. I make sure that gnome shell is indeed installed. I remove any config files (there weren't any), remove gnome shell, reinstall. No go. I rinse and repeat, but removing & reinstalling different things, such as GDM, and even gnome completely. No go.
    Hopping into pekwm, I search. I make copies of the xsession-errors each time, and load them in pekwm after a reboot, looking through with pacman by myside to make sure I have any possible missing files. And finally after failure after failure I give up, and come here.
    So, here's my xsession-errors log. Please, if anyone can help, or even offer any kind of suggestion that might spark something in my brain to get me going in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. If this thread needs moved, merged, etc, please do so... I've searched the forums, but now my brain is numb, so yeah...

    Ok, I guess all it took was for me to post this to wake up and be able to solve the issue.
    It is simple really. I just needed to re-install libltdl.
    So, for those searching, if you get this similar problem,
    pacman -S libltdl
    is what solved it for me.

  • I feel like I really missed something somewhere...

    So I was watching Family Guy last night using Xine (I like menus), and I noticed that the quality was really bad, so I cranked up the deinterlacing, and once my CPU topped 100%, the quality was "acceptable". 
    But then I was cooking, so the menus annoyed me (it doesn't have a play all button), so I used mplayer with this command: "for i in `seq 2 9`; do mplayer dvd://${i} -dvd-device /dev/hdc -vo xv; done", and the picture quality was perfect (note the lack of any deinterlace filters).
    So I wondered why Xine was giving me such crap quality, and I noticed that "Video Device" was set to "Auto" (which I always thought meant it picked xv over all of the others), but I changed it to "xv", and now I get the same quality as mplayer without any deinterlacing.
    Now, I swear a few years ago when I was fiddling with that kinda thing, I had to use deinterlacers with "xv" to get the same quality as I get now (using just xv alone).  So, does xv now use my graphics cards onboard MPEG-2 decoding, or does xv have it's own deinterlacer, or does something else happen?  I really feel like I missed something somewhere...

  • My wireless keyboard feels like it is wearing out already

    In the last couple of weeks my wireless keyboard has started to feel like it is wearing out, by which I mean that none of the keys travel smoothly anymore and feel stiff to type on. While they are not actually sticking the whole typing experience now feels horid.
    The keyboard is about two years old, and as far as I know nothing has got spilt on it during its lifetime.
    I've tried blasting the keyboard with compressed air in case the problem is caused by accumulated dust but that does not seem to have made any difference. Having searhed for similar problems I can see that people have done drastic things like pour alochol into their keyboards to clean them, or even put them in the dishwasher, but I am a little reluctant to take such drastic action unless there is no other alternative.
    Can anyone suggest how I restore my keyboard to its original smoothly functioning state, or can I just not expect the thing to last for more than two years?

    Can't help with that since I disdain wireless stuff. Pollutes the atmosphere with EMR/EMI.
    … it would be good if Apple offered you the option of having a wired keyboard instead of their wireless one when you buy a new iMac.
    That's still an option.

  • Feel like getting ripped off by BT

    My monthly bill comes to around £60 combined for anytime calls, Infinity 2 and basic TV, which I feel is way too much. I have not used the TV at all in the last 10 months and my broadband speed, according to tests, is consistently under 5mb/s compared to the 60mb/s I use to get in the first couple of months of the current 12 month deal. The last few months it has been more like 5mb/s. However, I don't feel like the actual connection is slow as 5mb/s is fast enough for my requirements most of the time. The only time it seems slow is when downloading movies on iTunes. A movie that should take a few minutes is taking more like 30 minutes. The good thing is, since video now plays off the cloud, I can start playing it as soon I start the downloading. However, I notice that some movies (I play from the video librarary) keep stop-starting on a regular basis, sometimes to the point where I can't be bothered to watch.
    I will be cancelling the TV which will take £7 a month off the bill plus another £3 for BT sport HD. Any recommendations so I can bring the overall bill down to a more manageable £40 or so. I might downgrade to infinity 1 as I am not seeing the benefits of infinity 2 in terms of speed. Can I downgrade over the phone (without needing an engineer coming around)? I really can't be bothered with the hassle. I have the hub 4 by the way.

    I think you should be able to downgrade to infinity 1 without any engineer visit required. You do certainly need to get your speed issue investigated though, something is amiss there.
    Without knowing the exact breakdown of the £60 it's hard to give specific advice, but in general  ...
    Phone Line Rental is £15.99 or £13.32 if you pay by Line Rental Saver a year in advance. 
    Weekend Calls are free.
    Evening Calls is now available as a £3.00 add-on (used to be included in certain packages). 
    Anytime Calls is now available as a £7.50 add-on (used to be included in certain packages).
    There are lots of other phone feature add-ons at extra costs.
    Infinity 1 (20GB) is £15.
    Infinity 1 (40GB) is £18.
    Infinity 1 Unlimited is £23.
    Infinity 2 Unlimited is £26.
    Just go to the MyBT page and click on the links at the top such as 'My Phone' or 'My Broadband'.
    However, if you are near to completing (or have completed) the minimum term for your current contract then you are in a strong bargaining position. The best thing to do is to phone the Customer Options Team on 0800 800 030. They will explain all the options and they can often give extra discounts over the phone if you commit to a new contract with a new minimum term. For example I just recontracted my Infinity 1 (40GB) at less than £18 and also got TV Essential at £2. 

  • Feel like I have been mis-sold. Can I cancel?

    Hi,
    I have recently moved house and was advised by BT that in order to get the phone-line set up to my house (it's a new build property), then I would also have to take out a BT calls package. I accepted this at the time as I needed a phone-line and with all the other pressures of moving house, disputing this with them was not my top priority. However, in hindsight, I think I have been forced into taking out a phone package with BT that I do not want.
    Also, I have also signed up to BT Unlimited but was not made aware of the Traffic Management policy; either by the person I spoke to on the phone, nor have I been provided with any paperwork outlining any of the T&Cs. As such, this package is not suitable for my needs.
    Am I in a position to be able to cancel my contract, as I feel like I have been mis-sold these products and have not been provided with adequate/the correct information by the Customer Services staff?

    Off course you can, anyone can cancel a contract anytime they like.
    I think your question should have been "Can I cancel my contract without having to pay cancellation charges."  Thats debateable

  • I feel like my imac has a virus?

    It seems like there is something wrong with my imac, i feel like a virus maybe.  This is what has been happening; I can be on my apple.com screen when I first sign on and then I will go directly to my top site where I have all of my personal sites like bank, etrade, etc. and when I do that, the screen gets all distorted for a split second.  What would you all suggest I do?  I was thinking of taking my imac to best buy and have someone check it out.  Is there some app or program that I can download via the apple store that will actually check my computer for any type of problems.

    Run Apple Hardware Test.
    If it reports "no trouble found" then consider the following:

    But i'm not having any line yet on my phone i use it on net mostly so what is the scene can i have or can't ??
    please inform me soon !

    Is your phone still covered by warranty?  If so, go to your nearest Apple store and depending on what happened, this may or may not be covered by warranty.  If it is, then you can get a replacement exactly as the phone you already have.
    If out of warranty, then there is nothing you can do and you'll have to pay.

  • Am I the only person that feels like the salesman lied to me, wrote up contract wrong, etc?

    I had purchased two Iphone 4's without contract and enjoyed not having the bill and extra fees every month.  Through the prepaid carrier, my son and I didn't even know we could use a laptop or anything  with our phones.  Luck would have it, the only thing I had left through Verizon was my USB device that I put on my computer and after 3 years, it broke.  I went to Verizon to purchase a new one, and pay cash for it to not be under contract, the first salesman assured me it was compatible like the other but after four days I had to take it back for lack of connection.  79.00 was what I paid, when returned, of course I got stuck paying the restocking fee of 35.00 and a new sales person named Cofe (at Jonesboro location) comes to assist me. He talked me into the wifi jetback for 20 or so with the NEW TWO YEAR CONTRACT as he understood I would be needing for portable devices.  Had to pay full price for it and wait for my 50 bucks on the rebate card.  He spots my son scoping out the 4S, he said he could make the deal worth my while if we wanted to get newer phones...never telling me how much the cost.  Against my better judgement, we got new phones, promised new free Lifeproof cases, etc.  I told him my funds were tight and I only wanted a plan of about 160 or 180 total for all.  Paid the small amount he said was due, then get a bill for 443 a couple days later.  We kept going over the data on our phones, not knowing that he in fact set us up to pay 220 a month for 10 gb data, use of jetpack and two smart phones.  Paying over for what we had on the mifi we didn't know exitsted caused us to have 30 too much on device and usually 30 overcharge data.  Fianlly look at bill wondering why I couldn't get it paid up and 6 calls to customer service, digging through receipts, 10 hours of phone bill hunting, and numerous hours on the phone brought to my attention that he had set me up on almost the most expensive plan, charged us 99 each for cases, 99 for two new contracts and swiped a gift card for 400 to my account without any knowledge.  Also, this  was a new plan since not under contract, and HE TOOK OUR PHONES that I could've sold for a small chunk and there is not a trace of where they went? He made himself a sale that day!!  They have removed some of the charges since I took back the FREE cases, etc., but this has been a horrible experience.  I begged the people to please let me out of my contract because now I am unemployed and sure cant afford this and I feel like he did some underhanded tactics selling and not starting the plan off right.  He didn't have to sell me the jetpack, we can run laptop of phones, and I guess if I were only gonna get 99 bucks for a three month old phone, I wouldve taken it elsewhere.  It's amazing that of all documents scanned in My Verizon, it does not really show a trade in, which he didn't explain anyway, nor does it show what or the actual value.  I get horrible service in my area and it drags on the web.not taking long to use the data.  In the last week, my phone was cut off so I had to go to the prepaid place and port over.  Paid enough to keep my son's phone and laptop and got told if I dont have remaining balance in a few days, they won't port my number back to Verizon, service interrupt on all and then the process server will get to bang on my door.  I have never been so disgusted with service and some of the people in that building by their actions.  One tried but of course he took up for his dude Cofe.....I don't know what to do now, try to pay it or tell them take the phones and FIND MY OLD ONES then go back prepay.  Read this customer service specialist, because I am pretty sure DECEIT, RUNNING GIFT CARDS, AND WRONGFULLY SETTING UP NEW CONTRACT is grounds for an official claim. How did y'all like that bid long confusing mess of a story?  :/

    Uhhhh, hmmmmm, WHAT??? 
    Sorry, I have no idea what you are ranting about. I think I would be more upset for running over my phone.

  • How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

    how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

  • I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do i get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, they are on other iphone i have.

    I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed it up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts under icloud and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do I get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, because the contacts went to another iphone i have.

    I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

    Hi Buterem,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:

    If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:
