IDVD for TV Viewing

I made a video montage from IPhoto to IMovie to IDVD. Everything looks great on my macbook. However, when I watch it on my T.V. the tops are cut off. Can this be fixed?
Also, I have some DVD movies that I am clipping sections of into IMovie. They are not showing up on the entire screen with top/bottom black. Can this be addressed?

If you have the iLife boxed set then use iDVD from it. Or you can purchase the boxed set via third-party vendors like eBay or Amazon.com. Or you use a third-party replacement such as Roxio's Toast.

Importing Images into IDVD for Slidshow

I am at a loss as to what is the best image size, resolution size, etc. when it comes to importing images into IDVD. I usually size my prints
4 x 6 @ 300 dpi.. This looks fine in the slideshow preview. After I burn the dvd and view it, the images lose quality, etc..
Any help would be appreciated

What you're creating in iPhoto is a movie file that will get cut off in iDVD because of the TV over scan issue. Only stills imported and assembled into a slideshow in iDVD can be scaled to avoid the over scan.
So to get what you want you'll have to import the stills into iDVD from iPhoto and create the slideshow there.
If you have Quicktime Pro you can mask the QT movie with a black mask and cause the iPhoto QT movie to be scaled to the TV safe area. The steps are below. You'll have to experiment with the final sizes to get it exact:
Masking Movies to the TV Safe Area for iDVD
The mask should be 640 x 480 pixels and the movie at approx. 580 x 386 (I arrived at this figure by making a snapshot of the TV save area of an iDVD project with Snapz). You can set this size after you’ve joined it with the mask movie with Quicktime Player Pro.
Import the black mask jpg file into iMovie and and export it as a .mov file at the same length as your movie (there may be a way to not have to create a specific length mask for each movie but I haven't found it. If the times do not match the movie file will be synced to the length of the mask movie).
Open the mask movie in QT Player Pro and then open your regular movie and make it the front window of the two. Now you'll need to run a QT Player AppleScript titled "Merge Movie 1 into Movie 2". You can get it from this Apple site: Quicktime Player Scripts.
Then run the script. You can then run the merged movie to check it out. Your movie will be located in the upper lefthand corner of the window when played.
When you open the Movie Properties window from the Window menu for the combined file you’ll see the following:
Video Track 1: the black mask
Video Track 2 : you movie file
Tween track: Have no idea what this is.
Sound track: self explanaotry
Black mask.
To set the size of your movie to the correct size select it in the Properties window and click on Visual Settings pane. Then enter 580 in the first field and hit enter. With the Preserve Aspect Ration box checked the other size will automatically be set.
To center the video track in the center of the mask select the Video Track 2 item and plug in a offset of about: 70 & 45. You'll probably have to play with that to fine tune the centering. Doing the math and subtracting the movie dimensions from the mask dimensions and dividing by two just didn't get it perfectly centered bit with a little eyeballing and trial and error it got there.
Now save as a new self contained movie after checking the High Quality box at the bottom right.
You can now import it into iDVD for preview and burning. One drawback is that you can't invoke the TV save area for a movie in iDVD to check it out. But you can mark it on the monitor screen while viewing a menu or slideshow and then play the movie to see how close you came. I found that the size was still a little under the TV safe area when burned and played on my TV. It may be the difference in normal CRT screens and flat screens, etc.

Refresh time for Materialized View

Hi,
I have created a materialized view and set it to refresh everyday at 4 am . When I check the status of the job , it shows the refresh timing between 20 mins to 4 hours . That means , some times it takes 20 mins to refresh , some times 40 , some time 2 hours and some times up to 4 hours. Any reason for the wide range ? Here is the query for the view.

Timeouts for Discoverer Viewer and SSO

We've enabled SSO for Discoverer Viewer 9.0.4. We set the Viewer timeout in the web.xml file to 120 minutes. We set the SSO Global user Inactivity Timeout to 240 minutes. Viewer sessions don't timeout at 120 minutes. Does the GUIT timeout override the Viewer timeout?
--- Steve

Hi
As far as I know, the Viewer sessions don't time out using the Discoverer settings. These only affect Discoverer Plus. The SSO timeouts will apply though. Out of interest can you tell in which folder was the web.xml you modified?
By the way, 240 sounds an awful long time to allow an SSO connection to stay active.
Best wishes

Action reference in the MAIN view for other Views

Hi Experts,
I have created a view(MAIN) that contains SUBMIT button and also included four other views(Using ViewContainerUIElement) in the MAIN view itslef. So am calling the respective view based on some certain condition from MAIN view.
Now my problem is, am using check_mandatory_attr_on_view() method which is being called on SUBMIT action from MAIN view of WDDOBEFOREACTION. But it is not checking Required Fields from other views. It checks the Required Fields only in the MAIN view.
I know that I want to call the reference of other views in MAIN view, but how can I do it?
Please help me, as how I can check the Required fields on action of SUBMIT button in MAIN view for other views.
BR,
RAM.

Hi,
Though am in MAIN view, If i clicks the submit button it checks the Required fields on both MAIN and Sub views, where still I have not called the Sub view.
If you didn't call the sub view, the WDDOINIT method of your sub view wouldn't have been triggered and so the sub view reference is not set in the component controller, isn't it.?
OR you are calling sub view separately in the initial state and get the reference and then in your MAIN view calling the sub view based on condition in the View Container UI..?
If so, create an attribute in your Main view (say sub_view_name of type string) and then use the below code to get the current sub view name and then pass the corresponding sub view reference:
DATA:lr_view_controller    type ref to        IF_WD_VIEW_CONTROLLER,
       lr_main_view_usage type ref to        IF_WD_RR_VIEW_USAGE.
       lr_vc_assignment      type ref to        IF_WD_RR_VIEW_CNT_ASSIGNMENT.
       lr_view_usage           type ref to        IF_WD_RR_VIEW_USAGE.
       lr_t_views                 type                WDRR_VCA_OBJECTS.
       lr_s_view                  like line of        lr_t_views.
       lr_view                     type ref to        if_wd_rr_view.
      lr_view_controller = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
    lr_main_view_usage = lr_view_controller->GET_VIEW_USAGE( ).
   lr_t_views = lr_main_view_usage->GET_VIEW_CNT_ASSIGNMENTS( ). "This will return all the View Container assignments.
* Now loop over all the View containers and get the reference of embedding view.
   loop at lr_t_views into lr_s_view .
      lr_vc_assignment = lr_s_view-VIEW_CNT_ASSIGNMENT.
      lr_view_usage = lr_vc_assignment->GET_DEFAULT_VIEW_USAGE( ). " This will return view usage reference
      lr_view = lr_view_usage->get_view( ). " This will have the meta info of view
      wd_this->sub_view_name = lr_view->get_name( ).
   endloop.
Now in onAction submit,
CL_WD_DYNAMIC_TOOL=>CHECK_MANDATORY_ATTR_ON_VIEW(
                              EXPORTING
                               view_controller = lr_view_controller " MAin view reference
case wd_this->sub_view_name.
when 'SUB_VIEW1'.
CL_WD_DYNAMIC_TOOL=>CHECK_MANDATORY_ATTR_ON_VIEW(
                              EXPORTING
                               view_controller = wd_comp_controller->gr_emb_view1.
when 'SUB_VIEW2'.
CL_WD_DYNAMIC_TOOL=>CHECK_MANDATORY_ATTR_ON_VIEW(
                              EXPORTING
                               view_controller = wd_comp_controller->gr_emb_view2.
Or, alternatively; create all the nodes(of sub views) in component controller, then map all those to MAIN view, then read the required node attributes and validate manually.
hope this helps u,
Regards,
Kiran

HOw to start the project for first view in webdynpro application

Hi,I am having a problem regarding scenario for customer feedback for portal end user i.e..wen user login to a application for feedback there it check the Id of the user wether it had given the feedback or not by comparing the Id with the database Idu2019s from SQLserver.If the feedback is thr of that Id then a view shud say u hav already given feedback otherwise feedback form shud open ,the user will giv feedback and closes by thanking with other view.My problem is how to openthe view were it will compare the userlogin Id with the database Id to move further.How shud I handle this scenario for first view.I am creating this application in webdynpro.In this project how shud I manage the viewsu2026

Hanif,
you can create a webdynpro application and create an iview and set the height and width to 0 .inside that webdynpro application open a popup that provides the feedback form .and you invoke this popup window in the WDDOINIT() or WDDOMODIFYVIEW() of the webdynpro main view.
apart from this you need to get the logged user id in main view and get the output from database whether you want to open the feedback form
check this forum on developing webdynpro application

How to create EVENTS for a View Cluster.

Hi Tech Gurus,
I have created a view cluster on 5 tables. I need to do a validation and this can be done by using events. But i am unable to create a EVENT for the View Cluster. Could anyone please tell me how to create events for a View Cluster.
Thanks in advance for your esteemed replies.
Regards,
Raghavendra Goutham P.

Hello Pasapula
When you are in the View Cluster maintenance dialog (SE54) click on dialog "Events".
Below the field for the view cluster you have an additional field <b>FORM routines main program</b>. There you have to add the main program containing the FORM routines called by the VC events.
For example: I had defined a normal report containing an include with all the FORM routines. The report contains only the following lines of coding:
report zus_0120_u1.
* Common Data und access routines for user exits in VC maintenance
include LSVCMCOD.
include zus_0120_f1. "FORM routines for VC events
Now in the "Events" dialog of the view cluster maintenance you assign your FORM routines to the events.

How to create variant for table/view ?

Hi,
When I go through SM30, I find a radio button called variant. I don't know the effect.
Can anyone tell me how to create variant for table / view ?
I want to know when we need to create variant for table/view.
Best regards,

hi ,
Whenever you start a program in which selection screens are defined, the system displays a set of input fields for database-specific and program-specific selections. To select a certain set of data, you enter an appropriate range of values.
For further information about selection screens, refer to Selection Screens in the ABAP User's Guide.
If you often run the same program with the same set of selections (for example, to create a monthly statistical report), you can save the values in a selection set called a variant
Procedure
To create a new variant:
       1.      On the ABAP Editor initial screen, enter the name of the program for which you want to create a variant, select Variants, and choose Change.
       2.      On the variant maintenance initial screen, enter the name of the variant to be created.
Note the naming convention for variants (see below).
       3.      Choose Create.
If the program has more than one selection screen, a dialog box for screen assignment appears. The dialog box does not appear if the program only has one selection screen. The selection screen appears in this case.
       4.      If there is more than one selection screen, select the screens for which you want to create the variant
5.      Choose Continue.
The (first) selection screen for the report appears.
If your program has more than one selection screen, use the scroll buttons in the left-hand corner of the application toolbar to navigate between them and to fill the fields with values. If you keep scrolling forwards, the Continue button appears on the last selection screen.
       6.      Enter the desired selection values, including multiple selection and dynamic selection.
       7.      Choose Continue.

How to create transaction code for maintenance view

hai friends,
i hope every thing goes good.
i have doubt, how to create transaction code for maintenance view. I created view for tranperant table and now i want to create transaction code for the view.
i tried and i donot know the screen number and program name and where can i give the view name.
if any one know please post in details.
thanks in advance.

Hi Elam,
You need to create a "Parameter Transaction".
What this means is that you will have a transaction (let's call it "ZMAINT") which calls "SM30" and passes in your table name.
Go to transaction SE93 and enter your new transaction code. Enter in the Tcode description and choose "Transaction with Parameters" (it shouldbe the last radio button).
Enter in the default transaction "SM30" and tick the "Skip Initial Screen" check box. Hit Enter.
Now scroll to the bottom of the screen and you will see a Table Control where you will need to enter in the values to the SM30 selection screen.
Because you hit ENTER, the program will have loaded in the Selection Screen parameters into it's memory. Hit the drop down for "Name of Screen Field" and select "VIEWNAME" and then enter in your Z Table in the "Value" column.
Now go to the next line and hit the drop down and select "UPDATE" in the "Name of Screen Field". Enter in a "X" in the value column.
Now save the transaction and there you have it.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Pat.

Is there a way for AutoVue viewer (JVue/VueBean object) to cancel long lasting loading/rendering operation?

Is there a way for AutoVue viewer (JVue/VueBean object) to cancel long lasting loading/rendering operation? In our integration when we try to switch from a document being loading on another one we can get an error message “Cannot load page” (but the document is shown after that). Or if we try to stop loading document by calling jVue.closeDocument() we can see everlasting progress bar and indicator “Loading…” on the status bar.

No, it is not possible

Can a web service be used as the datasource for a View Object?

Has anyone used a web service as the datasource for a View Object?
I am trying to do the same thing as "Publishing BC4J Components as a Web Service" example, except I want to recreate the View Objects on the client so that I can iterate through them and display them on a web page.
I probably have two choices:
1. Use the web service as the datasource.
2. Use a file as the datasource with no data and then populate the View Objects from the XML from the Web Service.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Richard Catlin
SAIC

You can adapt the examples provided in the BC4J Toy Store demo for how to build a programmatically-populated view object to create a view object that fetches its data from a web service.
The methods that you need to override are the same for any kind of programmatically-populated view object.

"Refresh after" insert fails for DB-View with INSTEAD OF Triggers

Hi,
I have a database view with INSTEAD OF triggers defined for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE.
For some EO attributes the refresh after insert and update is defined.
Posting to database fails.
According to Database 9.2 Manual and a previous thread (BC4J and Updatable Views the RETURNING clause is not allowed for database views with INSTEAD OF triggers.
Is there a workaround so the refresh after is done, but without the RETURNING feature?
I only need to refresh some values. The PK i can set in the create method of the EO so refresh via a additional SELECT would be possible.
If not Feature Request:
Add the possibility to do the "refresh after ..." with a 2nd SELECT using the PK instead of using the RETURNING clause.
Of course then it is not possible to set the PK in the database trigger. PK has to be set in the create method of the EO.
Thanks,
Markus

Hi Markus,
Turning on the stack trace (-Djbo.debugout put=Console - in the Project/runner) did help and I should have done it sooner. Turns out that when I constructed my EO based upon a database view - I should have left out the PKs of the base tables.
In my case, I am using an "Instead Of Trigger" to populate a multi-table arrangement (parent - child - grandChild - greatGrandChild relationship) where all base tables are using dbSequence/dbTriggers.
Final analysis - I would like to see BC4J handle this situation. I do not want to use View-Links and I should * not * have to resort to stored procedures and BC4J/doDML. If I construct a DB View this is participating in an parent - child - grandChild - greatGrandChild relationship that are using dbSequence/dbTriggers, then BC4J should be smart enough to construct VO knowing that I want to do insert, update, delete, selects - based upon this structure.
Thanks Markus,
