Interlace or Codec Problem? You tell me.

I used Streamclip to convert some DVDs to QTs using the Avid Meridien Compressed codec because they are to be edited on Avid. The edit house said they wouldn't import properly no matter what field dominance they gave. Yet they play fine in Quicktime.
So I imported them back into FCP and its strange. When I set the sequence settings to all the same specs as the clip, including an avid meridien compressed for compressor type, the clips will sometimes play fine after first inserting them in the sequence, but then when I play them again from the sequence it looks scrambled on the diagonal. Yet they play normally in the viewer.
Any ideas what's going on?

My initial settings were for lower field first unscaled. Which indicated it would be 720x480.
We imported into the avid with lower field first and maintain and resize.
I took a look at what's happening on avid at lunch today. The image is jumping about 10 scanlines with the interlace, even when given a test that was non-interlaced. Its a PC Avid, BTW, sorry to say.
On FCP, I had a completely different problem. It just came out looking scrambled like in the days of cable when you could see a channel scrambled if you didn't subscribe. This could be a factor of trying to work in FCP with a sequence set to Avid Meridien, possibly?
Your DV codec from MPEGStreamclip works fine in FCP, we'll see if it works in avid. If nothing else I can output a tape from FCP. But oy, I will have downgraded the image so much by then.

Also double check your firewalls and virus protection that they are not blocking any ports also make sure you are plugging in the fastest USB

It should unzip if you double-cick.
What are you seeing happen when you do that?
Select a .zip file in the Finder and Get Info (cmd-i). What is set for it to Open With. It should be Archive Utility.

I have an Apple MacBook on which Lion 10.7, plus all updates, are successfully installed.
Can you tell me if TechTool Deluxe, normally supplied with Apple here has been now tested and found to run successfully?
I have run the program to check a problem that I'm having. The particularly with video, and also volume structure. TEchTool Delux reports a failure for both of these components.
I am wondering if this is realistic or not, given the start-up screen for TechTool Delux mentions on start-up that it has yet to be tested fully with Lion?
With thanks, Ron.

Yes, I understand, however, he Macbook is out of its Applecare, but the TechTool it still on the machine. Does that entitle me to an upgrade in TechTool?
I suspect not, hoever, seeing I am running Lion, I am not sure at all? If you can answer this question it will help as then Imight be able to solve the problem I'm having.
Best regards, Ron

I have seen reports on these forums where there is a limit to how many contacts you can have in the "to" field of a text message. That is the only thing I can think of where someone has reported getting a warning about too many contacts.

Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

I keep getting this error in Dreamweaver when I am trying to upload my website? Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? here is the error message: /html - error occurred - Unable to create remote folder /html. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured. File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed. Files with errors: 1 /html

Nobody can tell you anything without knowing exact site and server specs, but I would suspect that naming the folder "html" wasn't the brightest of ideas, since that's usually a default (invisible) folder name existing somewhere on the server and the user not having privileges to overwrite it.

About 5 days ago for no apparent reason at all, about
7000 songs which i have collected over a number of
years has just decided that it wont play in ITUNES or
in any other of my media players. When you click on
Play over a song nothing happens. The play icon
doesnt even come up on the screen.
Steps I have taken so far are:
1 - Remove all tracks from ITUNES and then re-add the
folder where all the songs are. This has obviously
removed all songs, but when I have re-added the
folder , it has added about 650 tracks back on to the
playlist. These 650 tracks will play. This leaves
approx 6400 tracks that it wont play.
By the way all the songs on my PC are MP3 type and I
have had no problem playing any of them until last
week.
2 - I have re-installed ITUNES and reinstalled
Quicktime and that has not worked.
3 - All of my songs are backed up on to a External
Hard Drive. I have tried to restore the songs and
also play them directly from the external hard drive.
I get the same problem when I do this.
4 - I have enabled and allowed all permissions for
the account that I am running the PC from.
I am guessing there must be some settnig or Registry
Key that is blocking me playing the tracks from the
PC. I have also tried to launch the songs in Media
Player and Sonic stage but thsi has not played
either.
All the tracks are in the folder structure as they
were before so I know they are there. I just need to
somehow unlock them.......
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful as
I dont want to lose my entire music collection.
Also I cannot find anyweher on here that is a Support
number or email address for Apple as this is an
ITUNES issue and they should be resolving it for
me!!!!
Thanks

Can you tell the output type within template?

Hi all,
we're using Oracle apps 11.5.10 and we have the usual leading zero problem when exporting to Excel.
From what I've read, Excel uses the 'TypeGuessRows' registry setting to read through a specify number of rows to decide whether a column is numeric and then drops the leading zeros. I've also seen the proposed solution of putting a quote mark to trick Excel. We have a requirement to display the right numbers including leading zeroes in both PDF and Excel. So now I'm down to 2 choices.
1) create a separate template for PDF without the quote or my question
- Within a template, can you tell what the runtime output type is? Does the XML Publisher engine provide a way to obtain this value within a template?

Hi Mike,
I used
<fo:bidi-override direction="ltr" unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?D_INVOICE_NUM?></fo:bidi-override>
and it still didn't work. The invoice number is alphanumeric an sometimes just contains numbers with leading zeroes which is what I'm testing with.
Cheers

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Mic/Codec problem

Okay, I'm running a ZS Plat Pro and I'm having some problems with my mic settings for some reason. Here's the deal:
My headphones are plugged into my external hub with the mic into the Line In slot. I have sound, theres power, that's all good. The problem lies with my microphone settings somewhere, I dunno where, with a possible codec problem I'm guessing. Here's why.
I can't get ANYTHINGto pick up in my mic. All the settings are correct in Control Panal and in my Creative Volume Control. Line In is selected for Recording, the volume is up, it's not muted, my headset is not muted, and the gain is turned on on my external hub, yet still nothing. Here is where hopefully someone can help. I can get it to work in Ventrilo when I go into setup. In setup to test with, I have to select a Codec from a list to use to test with. Meaning, there is NO current selected codec to test with. Once I select one, it works.
What I'm guessing is somehow, my computer doesn't have a current codec selected for my mic to work with. IE: MSN, Yahoo, Windows Sound Recorder, control panal/sound and audio/test hardware... they all come up detecting no sound at all, when in FACT, I know it works in Ventrilo when I select a codec.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the card with up to date drivers. Can anyone help at all please? Thank you.

Yes:
Step 1: Delete the preview cache.
That's it!
So, the trick is to find the preview cache.
This document gives location:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
To be clear: it's a folder in with your catalog and you want to delete the whole folder but nothing else.
If your catalog file path is "X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog.lrcat", then the preview cache "folder" will be:
X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog Previews.lrdata
So the trick is to find your catalog file, and since Lr won't open your catalog and run, you can't use it to find out.
But you should be able to find it by searching your disks for *.lrcat files - do you know how to do that?
Which OS?
If you know the name of the catalog it will help, but also: it's probably NOT in with your program files.
UPDATE: The above-mentioned document gives default name and location for preview cache, so if you haven't overridden the default, it should be right where that document said it would be - is it? (of course you need to know your user name too, but presumably you do, no?).

Fair Usage - but how do you tell??

Yesterday morning I had an automated email from BT saying that I was up to 80GB d/l for May, and that my speed would be throttled if I went over 100GB. I'm on Option 3, and this is the fair usage policy kicking in. This morning I had another email saying that I was over 100GB! So, I spent 1 hour on the phone today trying to find someone in BT who could tell me how the 20GB was racked up in a day. No chance! Nobody seems to have a record other than some sort of cumulative ticker. Yes I can download a broadband monitor (which I actually did after the first email), but if it's at odds with what BT says where are you then if they don't have detailed records? Records on the router are pretty useless although show since rebooted on Monday:
Connection time
3 days, 04:48:24
Data Transmitted/Received (MB)
915.9 / 1986.5
So, about 2 GB, NOT 20. I'd challenge anyone on an 8 meg line to actually get enough speed to actualy d/l 20GB in a day!! And no, no one's broken in to my wifi connection.
I'm really annoyed with BT now and wished I hadn't swapped from Nildram, who had records online right down to your last session.
What now?

Hi.
This is the massive problem that BT fails continually to answer. The initial email only says that you have exceeded 80GB, it could actually be 99.5GB if the user had got say 20GB a previous day. This omission is appalling in my view and needs correcting immediately, as users are not given accurate figures. As can be seen by all the folk posting on this topic, the belief is that the user has possibly just surpassed 80GB.
They have said that there are no daily figures, I challenge this to be completely incorrect and false, otherwise people would not have received emails on 2 consecutive days as the OP above.
To the moderators, I ask again - please can you tell us how the data is added up on a per user basis. When is the system polled (it is *clearly* daily at least, otherwise you need to explain how these emails could have been sent).
I've also said before that I believe an email should be sent when 50GB are reached, this should be very easy to implement.
Just for info, a continuous download of 400KB/s (e.g. on a line in excess of 4Mbps) - will result in 20GB in about 14.5 hours.

If that's what you're using and it actually works, albeit slowly, I'd suggest taking The hatter's advice and go with the 6 core Mac Pro with 24GB of RAM and the 5870 video card. The RAM could come from here: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#1333-memory
