Is playback affected by multiple m2vs?

Hello-
I am about to burn, oh, 70 minutes worth of video for a gallery installation will be be playing every day for about 2 weeks. I have 8 m2v files ranging from 6-13 minutes each and there will be subtitles on the disc. NO transitions and the only 'menu' will be the title cards which I am planning on creating by putting a still in a Track. I have not decided the final order of the pieces, but I wanted to start compressing the files now to get that out of the way. So, my question is:
Does it make a difference(or does it help any) in the playback of the disc if I create multiple m2v files rather than a couple large m2v files.
I would prefer to make the individual files now, but I was concerned that going from Title to Title might create a delay (or something...I'm trying to anticipate any trouble).
I am planning on creating the m2vs in Compressor and burning in DVDSP.
Thank you!
Robert

Hi Robert
No it doesn't make any difference which way you do it, you can have 99 tracks on a DVD so I don't think 8 is going to break the bank. If you're using still title cards between tracks I would suggest having each clip in its own track and putting the title cards in menus that you can jumps to from one track to another. This way you can easily rearrange the order of playback and the length and style of you title cards. If you put everything in one track making chages could throw your audio out of sync and if that happens it's a bugger to fix.
Good luck

Playback Issues with multiple framerates and Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme

I recently swapped by AJA Kona Card for a Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme in order to get external monitoring in DaVinci Resolve.
I'm working in a 1080p 23.976 project that includes some 29.97 SD and HD footage. When loading this 29.97fps footage into my source footage, I periodically encounter frozen playback (The play triangle in my toolbar becomes a square symbol and remains that way). From there I am unable to playback any footage in any timeline, and requires a full system shutdown to return to normal! The problem is seemingly intermitent, with successful playback happening sometimes.
The 29.97 footage was DVCPRO, I attempted to transcode to Prores to troubleshoot. No dice. I believe it to be an issue related to the Decklink's inability to handle multiple framerates on-the-fly but wanted to submit here, too. I've also experienced intermittent sync delays on my broadcast monitor.
Decklink Driver 10.0
Premiere CC 7.2.1
Mac OSX 10.9.2 (same problem pre-mavericks)

Hi Andy,
You should not have any issues with Blackmagic handling multiple formats on the fly. However, I believe the frozen playback issues your describing is related to the Desktop Video 10 driver. I suggest rolling back to 9.3.3 for the time being. Blackmagic is looking into this issue now.

Newbie HELP - Track playback video freeze across .m2v clips

Hello.
This seems a VERY basic issue. But VERY frustrating.
And of course it is a VERY URGENT job to finish.
Running DVDSP 4.1.1.
I create a new project and a new track and place 2 clips - .m2v plus .ac3 files (created in compressor from .mov files) on the track.
When I play across the the JOIN of the clips -
CLIP 1 plays VIDEO and AUDIO fine...
the playhead moves across to CLIP 2
The timecode continues to count...
The AUDIO of CLIP 2 plays...
BUT...
The screen/window/video displays ONLY the LAST FRAME of CLIP 1.
This "frozen video display" remains UNTIL I press pause on the playback.
Then the screen/window/video updates and displays the correct new frame of CLIP 2.
When I SIMULATE...
The same thing happens - as you would expect I guess.
I have tried new projects, old projects, new clips, old clips.
Same thing.
BUT...
When I COMBINE the original .mov clip(s) - either before or after the .m2v clip(s) - the playback is NORMAL.
Why would this be?
I have already encoded all assets and I don't want to combine them with .mov files.
Normally I only have 1 clip per track and never have this issue.
But now I need to solve this.
Any URGENT help appreciated.

Can I set a default Playback preference for multiple users on same PC?

I am setting up an editing suite for our University which has a "per machine" Creative Cloud licence. It is a PC installation. This machine will be used by a class of students who will log in with their own credentials. I need to set the preferences for Premiere (video output, workspace layout, default drives etc) so that it will be the same for all users logging in since we want a consistent setup for teaching purposes and dont want to have to help each student set up so that it shows correctly on the monitors. Is there a way of saving this setting as the default for every user? In particular, as we have dual monitors, we want to save the preferences - Playback to always appear on the second monitor. This is really important for us - I need an answer before building more suites.
(Adobe won't let me ask them directly, so I have to wait for someone to provide an anwser on the forums... not great customer support in my book)

Firstly...is this editing suite for the purpose of teaching editing or something else?
Next ...what is your experience with PPRo?
You can set up the machine(s) initially exactly how you want them in regards to hardware and screen layouts etc. Thats easy and can be called..'University of Waikato Default Edit Workspace' for example. That is only part of it though.
You can set up and share a common Key Board Short cut Preference File. Same as Export Presets.
There is no way you can "Default" all the USERS stuff for individual unique projects though without creating a massive potential for disaster and confusion.
Each will need to have access to many separate drive locations for their media (audio, graphics, footage) and the knowledge to create, access and locate it.
THey will each need a separate Location for their Projects as well as their media.
If they are editing students...they should be taught how to set up everything for themselves so they have an understanding of the fundamentals and basic s of NLEs

Flash playback affected when offscreen?

I have an HTML page that has an embeded Flash header at the top of it with a looping animation and audio.
When I scroll the HTML window, and the Flash header goes offscreen, I notice the looping audio starts playing back erradically. Even when I scroll the window back so the header is visible again, I notice that even the animation itself appears paused for a moment before it begins playing again.
Is this a known thing with embedded Flash?... that if offscreen, the playback is inconsistent?
Any way around this?
Also, I'm still wanting to have some sort of looping audio (ambient series of sounds) playing in the background. Currently, I tried just having it as a looping section of the Flash timeline, which works... until the Flash movie goes offscreen. Is there a better way to do it?

Wow. 110 people had a look at this (as of this date) and nobody had an answer!

Playback on on multiple devices

Y cant i play music on multiple devices

Hello Welcome to the Community! :)
With Spotify you can have an account on several devices but can only play music on one device at a time whilst having control over what is played on other devices, if you have premium.
With the exception of a tablet witch can be controlled by any device without the need of premium :)
If you want to play on multiple devices simultaneously you can get premium and download the songs you want to play and then set the device to "offline mode" then you can play the songs that you have made offline on that device whilst playing other songs on your other device :)
I hope this Helped :)

Video Playback problems in multiple platforms

I have a Mac (10.7) and i am using adobe captivate 7. i published a project with .htm and .swf and .flv files. The .htm and .swf files play perfectly on my mac. Zero problems. However when I tried to access the .swf file on a pc, it didn't exactly work. I made sure that .swf files were played through internet explorer. The project showed up and appeared to be working. However, when i got to a slide that had a demonstration video embedded on the slide, the video didn't play and it didn't even show up, it appeared to be a blank slide. How can I make my project work completely for both mac and pc users?

Did you upload the published project to a web server and then try to view it by a browser using HTTP link, or did you just put the published content in a folder on a LAN or USB stick and try to view it from there.
If using any other location than a web server, on a PC you will need to set up the publish folder location as a trusted location in that PC's Flash Global Security settings:

How is my library affected by multiple IDs?

I have a UK Apple ID and I want to buy '40 Years' by Tone Damli Aaberge, which is only available through the Norwegian iTunes Store and I will need a new Apple ID for Norway. If I do that and download the song to my computer then will it appear in the same library and can I use it as any other track? Do I have to have an address and card registered in Norway?

Yeah, already looked for other providers before posting this, but thanks. Are there any sites that you can't add the mp3s to iTunes from?
Too bad. Maybe it is only on sale in Norway. But it is a beautiful song.
For future reference, yes, iTunes can play MP3s. You can purchase an MP3 from any online retailer that will sell it to you, and add it to your iTunes library.

DVD splits on playback.

Hello
I am burning a 4.7 12cm PAL disk in region 1,2,3,4,5,6 & 8. I am using pro to compression the quicktime file to an m2v and aiff format. I have the bit rate set automatically at 4.0 mbps with a max bit rate of 7.0. The length of the video is only 02:05:19 (msf). I have successfully used these settings to burn disks which work from this burner but too frequently a disk will not playback on dvd players. Copyright management in unticked. They will playback in the mac’s own drive. Any suggestions would be very welcome.
Regards

Mac g5 Mac OS X (10.3.3) quicktime made in FCP5

Hi
Thanks for the links. I will try the audio change and see if that helps. The main problem is that when the disk loads the screen is split in two horizontally. The disk will play like this but I can find no explanation why it will play fine with some disks and not others. I am using good quality disks but this hasnn't solved the problem. I wondered if it might be a problem with the lead-in or lead-out data. Very strange that it will effect one disk and then burn one fine. The split playback happens on multiple stand alone dvd machines but not on the mac's own drive. The audio plays without any problems. I will keep checking all the threads to see if I can find a solution. Thanks.

Best Practices: BIP Infrastructure and Multiple Installations/Environments

Hi all,
We are in process of implementing BI Publisher as the main reporting tool to replace Oracle Reports for a number of Oracle Form Applications within our organization. Almost all of our Forms environments are (or will be) SSO enabled.
We have done a server install of BIP (AS 10gR3) and enabled BIP with SSO (test) and everything seems in order for this one dev/test environment. I was hoping to find out how others out there are dealing with some of the following issues regarding multiple environments/installs (and licensing):
Is it better to have one production BIP server or as many BIP severs as there are middle tier form servers? (Keeping in mind all these need to be SSO enabled). Multiple installs would mean higher maintenance/resource costs but is there any significant gain by having more autonomy where each application has its own BIP install?
Can we get away with stand alone installations for dev/test environments? If so, how do we implement/migrate reports to production if BIP server is only accessible to DBAs in production (and even real UAT environment where developer needs to script work for migration)? In general, what is the best way to handle security when it comes to administration/development?
I have looked at the Oracle iStore for some figures but this last question is perhaps one for Oracle Sales people but just in case anybody knows... How's licensing affected by multiple installations? Do we pay per installation or user? Do production and test/dev cost the same? Is the cost of stand alone environment different?
I would appreciate if you can share your thoughts/experiences in regards to any of the above topics. Thank you in advance for your time.
Regards,
Yahya

Your data is bigger than I run, but what I have done in the past is to restrict their accounts to a separate datafile and limit its size to the max that I want for them to use: create objects restricted to accommodate the location.

Can I exclude measurement (of multiple numeric limit test) from results ?

I'm working on test where instrument returns multiple results at one call.
I use NI MultipleNumericLimitTest -step type (TS 2.0.1).
In some cases I'd like to exclude certain measurement from the results.
I could do this for example by setting Comparison type of selected measurement to "No Comparison", so that this measurement is assumed to PASS always.
Is there any property flag or any other way to exclude measurement from the results completely ?
(So I don't want this measurement to affect on multiple limit test status or to appear in the report)
cheers,
Masi

Hi!
Yes, there is a property that you can set/reset that specifies whether the property appears in the report or not.
1. Right click on your multiple numeric step and select View Contents
2. From the tree view, browse to YourStep->Results->Measurement.
3. Right click Measurement and select properties.
4. Click the Advanced button and look for the PropFlags_IncludeInReport flag and uncheck it.
That's it, now your measurements will not appear in the report. If you want some of the measurements (but not all) to be included in the report, then browse to the specific measurement YourStep->Results->Measurement[i], and check the PropFlags_IncludeInReport flag for that property.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information.

Jerky Playback & asset replacement issue

Hi,
Just downloaded the trial version in order to see if it corrects some things I needed on 1.5
So appart from the better responce and added features wich are great I have 2 problems (so far!).
Problem No1 is that the playback of the mpeg (*.m2v) file on the timeline and DVD Preview is very jerky and unstable. I used the same assets in 1.5 and playback is fine there.
Problem No2 and major for me is that when I replace assets in a previously created project the asset length doesn't adjust automaticaly. That is not a problem if the asset beeing replaced was longer since I can drag the end of the replacement asset on the timeline, and it snaps to the right length. But when the asset beeing replaced is shorter than the new asset there is no way I can drag the end of it to he new duration. Only way is to delete the m2v from the timeline and re-enter it, but that deletes all chapters and links to allready created menus with it. Is there anything I can do about that? I use asset replacement every day and this is a major drawback for me. I will have to stick to 1.5 for the time beeing...
Anyhow thanks for a great piece of software wich I was much expecting and sure to buy soon.
Cheers
Christos

Christos.
For the asset replacement options that are not working as you expect, try this:
PROBLEM:
When replacing an asset in a timeline that is longer than the original, it is not always possible to extend the duration of the new clip by dragging it.
METHOD:
1. Create a new project.
2. Import an .m2v file and it's corresponding .wav file.
3. Make a timeline with these assets.
4. Click the .m2v or .wav asset in the project window, press Ctrl-H, and replace it with an .m2v file that is LONGER than the original. After importing notice in the timeline that the new length is the same as the old one.
5. Drag the tail of the replaced clip to extend its duration.
RESULT:
When you drag the tail of the .m2v or .wav file to extend the duration, the clip 'flickers." If you release the mouse when the clip "flickers" off or when the mouse is beyond the maximum duration of the clip, it reverts to the original duration. The same behaviour is exhibited when trimming the clip.
Note: Although .avi files exhibit similar flickering, you can extend or trim the clips without issue.
EXPECTED:
The duration of the clip should always be extended or trimmed to the point where the mouse is when the button is released. If the mouse is beyond the maximum duration of the clip, the duration should be extended to its maximum (like PPro).
WORKAROUND:
1. Position the CTI at the desired out point.
2. Drag the tail of the .m2v or .wav file as close to the CTI as possible while it still "flickers" on.
3. Zoom in on the tail of the clip and repeat step 2 until the clip reaches the desired duration.

ITunes Questions (movie format, Gapless, iPod)

to avoid board clutter, i'll post my multiple questions here:
1. When purchasing a movie, is this a movie one can then burn to a DVD and watch in a standard home DVD player?
2. What is the format and size ration of a movie purchased through iTunes?
3. Gapless Playback... is this something that will affect my 60GB video iPod that i've had for a few months?
4. How will Gapless Playback affect my current library? will it write new info to the tags or what have you?
5. Is there any new feature which allows us to reveal duplicate songs on the iPod now?
i'm aware of third party stuff, but is it a standard feature which I can't find?
thank you for any assistance!

2. H.264, 640x480.
3. You need to upgrade 5G video iPod to 1.2 software which is automatic when you sync up with iTunes 7 the first time.
4. Don't know if it write new tag info. In my case, after 1.2 upgrade, gapless playback is automatic. I didn't have to re-upload sound.

NTSC Monitor for Pro CS3

I'm a bit embarrassed to post this, but have not been successful at finding the answer in a search.
When I am running w/ dual monitors and an NTSC monitor, what do I need to do w/ PPro so it outputs just the video (or program video, if you will) to the NTSC monitor - vs. outputting what you would normally see on the computer monitor. I assume it is in the ppro set up menu somewhere.
For now I am running CS3 (soon to upgrade to CS5) - I have the GeForce GTX 470 video card and dual monitors. I just recently purchased a NTSC monitor w/ a HDMI input so I've never had to worry about this, but I've grown tired of burning a DVD only to run up stairs to check color on a television (vs. the computer monitor). I (incorrectly) assumed the card would support dual montiors and a NTSC monitor (I realize this is now being a hardware question) because it also had an HDMI out. That being said, I've was able to find some info on this site (which I love btw) and saw that I could add another video card to supply video to a NTSC monitor.....but I still don't know how to limit the source of either card to the video out put of PPro.
Hope that makes sense...any help would be appreciated.
C.

Since I haven't actually done this, so can't be sure if there is a possible problem, follow at your own risk
Premiere will only recognize 1 graphics card for hardware acceleration, so adding a second card doesn't help on that front. Having said that, I would expect you could add a lower cost graphics card to run more monitors, which I have done and it works fine.
Now, as far as running the signal to a TV/monitor it follows that if you get a card that supports the type of output you desire to run the TV/monitor then it all takes care of itself from there.
On my 2 monitor setup I undock the playback monitor and drag it to the second screen where I can make it larger for better viewing of detail. Seems like you should be able to just drag it over to the TV/monitor then when you are ready to watch the playback there instead of on the computer monitor.
Seems straight forward, but perhaps someone who has actually done this will chime in. There may even be a way to duplicate the playback monitor on multiple screens so you can watch it playing on both the computer monitor and the TV/monitor at the same time?? But I'm guessing that will require an external box to split the output signal to the different destinations.
Hope you get it sorted out.
