Is there any difference in quality between mp4 and m4v?

Is there any difference in quality between mp4 and m4v? I am figuring out how best to save old VCR files. Is the 264 category the best?

So, what would that software be? Anything that I mentioned, e.g., iMovie? Any Video Converter?
I'm a Mac user so I want files that play "natively" in QT X, QT 7, QL, iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, and/or TV players. This means I want the H.264/AAC compressed data in MOV, MP4, or M4V file containers. I can use QT 7 Pro, MPEG Streamclip, and /or QT X to move MPEG-4/AAC compressed data to MOV file containers, MPEG Streamclip to movie M4V and MOV MPEG-4/AAC data to MP4 file containers, and Subler to move MP4 or MOV MPEG-4 AVC/AAC/AC3/Chapter data to M4V file containers. This is strictly a simple "copy" operation and no recompression of data is involved. (I.e., the quality is not changed.)
iMovie is a video editor and it forces an export conversion of your project once completed which can degrade quality. Have never used the Any Video Converter so I don't know if it has an audio and/or video "passthrough" feature for data already in a compatible compression formats. If it doesn't then any conversion it makes has the potential to degrade video content.
As to AVI, this is a legacy file container abandoned by Microsoft a dozen years ago in favor of their modernized WMV compression format/file type products. Compared to MKV, AVI is an outmoded/out-of-date container which I don't recommend you use unless you are a glutton for punishment. However, if you must use it, then you might try the AvidMux app. It can "copy" compatible content to a number of file container types—including AVI and MKV. Just don't blame me if its use creates more problems than it solves on current Mac systems.

Does anyone know what triggers the switch between text and iMessage in the middle of a conversation? Are there any differences in billing between text and iMessage?

In the middle of a text conversation between another iOS 5.0 iPhone user and myself, the conversation elements switched back and forth several times between Text and iMessage. The phone actually tracked it and put little lines indicating the switch, and my comments changed from green to blue and back again. I can't think of anything I changed in the middle of the conversation. I was outside WiFi range, using the Cell network at the time. Now I tried it again, while i'm on WiFI and the messages are Text (green) again.

1. Windows 8.1 Enterprise w Update is the best. It allows you for sideloading in corporate environment without additional tools and licenses.

2. N series is for EU (without IE).
3. Profesional is fine, but you will need some tools to achieve the same functionality that you have in "pack" Enterprise.
4. VL is volume license, a type of license for multiple computers (to say it simply)
5. MSDN forum is better alternative for problems like this.
6. Attached to MSDN are licenses or at least references to web resources. Read license agreements carefully and let your installation and use follow the license.

Is there any difference in quality between different LCD replacement panels.

I have a Model 1260 15" macbook pro from early 2008. Today a button popped off my shirt. I randomly tossed it on the desk near my bed. Later I went to close the laptop and... *CRACK* the button was sitting on the notebook just to the right of the magsafe adapter. Now the 4 left most inches of my screen are just a series of vertical lines. I'm wanting to hold out for the next big redesign before purchasing a new computer. I'm really hoping next year's model will ditch the optical drive and either have a large SDD or a combo of SDD and HD. In the mean time, I'd like to just replace the screen. I looked at ifixit and a few youtube videos. While the process looks tedious, it doesn't look particularly difficult as long as I'm careful. There seem to be 3 brands, Samsung, LG-Phillips, and Chi-Mei. There are also many sellers listing panels on ebay and I've messaged a few to ask what brand panels they are using. Should I go for any one brand over the others?
Thanks.
-Kevin

First, don't hang onto the hope that next year's MBP won't have an optical drive; instead, you'd be advised to purchase a 2011 MacBook Air, which doesn't have an optical drive but relies on SDD. If you need a CD/DVD drive, you can get that separately, if you need. The latest Air has received better reviews than anything else in the Apple lineup.
I'm not an expert on the different brand of keys available. But you'll want to make sure the color is an exactly match to the model. Replacing thes keys is relatively inexpensive but tedious, you might do well to email sellers to guarantee the color and fit.
Good luck with the repair!

Not from this Forum .This is a User to User technical support Forum .There is no relevant Apple presence here
All iOS devices are made at the same factories in China for world wide distribution .
The only difference is that some Middle East governments forbid the shipping of devices with Facetime and Apple are required to remove it from shipments to certain Countries

Is there any difference in SAP 4.7 and ECC 5.0

Dear,
Is there any difference in SAP 4.7 and ECC 5.0...
Thanx & Regards,
Mohammad Nabi

Hi,
Check this out
Hi I'm providing the ECC 6.0 functionality if you knows the
4.7EE the difference is as follows:
ECC 6.0 New GL Functionality
1.Activate the New General Ledger Accounting by a single
click on the clock icon
2.You will reach to change view "activation of New GL A/cg"
detail screen and tick the checkbox and save.
3. After activation of New General Ledger Accounting, you
exit the IMG screen when you re-enter, you find that a new
node is added Financial Accounting (New)
4.After activation of New General Ledger Accounting; a new
sub node appears in the IMG structure.
This sub node is Define Segment
The menu path is:
SAP Customizing IMG ---> Enterprise Structure -
>
Definition --> Financial Accounting --> Define Segment
In this IMG activity, you define your segments.
If you then define your profit centers, you can enter an
associated segment in the master record of a profit center.
The segment is then derived from the assigned profit center
during posting.
5. Activation has created a new field in Profit Center
Master Record: the SEGMENT
6.Leading and Non- Leading Ledgers
In General Ledger Accounting, you can use several Ledgers
in parallel. This allows you to produce financial
statements according to different accounting principles. A
ledger uses several dimensions from the totals table it is
based upon. When defining Ledgers, one must be defined as
the Leading Ledger. The Leading Ledger is based on the same
accounting principles as that of the consolidated financial
statements. It is integrated with all subsidiary ledgers
and is updated in all company codes. This means that it is
automatically assigned to all company codes. In each
company code, the Leading Ledger receives exactly the same
settings that apply to that company code : the currencies,
the fiscal year variant and posting period variant .
You must designate one of your ledgers as the Leading
Ledger. It is not possible to designate more than one
ledger as the leading ledger.
The menu path is:
SAP Customizing IMG -
> Financial Accounting (New) -
>
Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
> Ledgers ---
-> Ledger -
> Define Ledgers for General Ledger
Accounting
Clicking on the checkbox identifies one of your ledgers as
the Leading Ledger.
7. Activation of Non Leading Ledgers
Non Leading Ledgers are parallel ledgers to the Leading
Ledger . They can be based on local accounting principle,
for example. You have to activate a non- Leading Ledger for
individual company codes. Non- Leading Ledgers can have
different fiscal year variants and posting period variants
per company code to the Leading Ledger of this company
code.
The menu path is :
SAP Customizing IMG -
> Financial Accounting ( New ) -
> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
> Ledgers -
---> Ledger -
> Define and Activate Non --Leading
Ledgers
8.Assign scenarios to ledgers
A Scenario combines Customizing settings from different
business views. Each business view specifies which posting
data is transferred from different application components
in General Ledger Accounting, such as cost Center update or
Profit Center update .You assign the desired scenarios to
your ledgers. For each ledger, you define which fields are
filled with posting data from other application components.
SAP delivers a number of scenarios in the standard system.
It is not possible to create additional scenarios.
The menu path is:
SAP Customizing IMG -
> Financial Accounting (New) -
> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
> Ledgers -
--->Fields -
> Display Scenarios for General Ledger
Accounting.
9. Cost of sales accounting
Cost of sales accounting is a way to create a profit and
loss statement (P&L) for a company by comparing the
revenues to the costs or expenses incurred to obtain these
revenues.
The expenses are mainly divided by functional area such as:
Manufacturing
Administration
Sales
Research and Development
We can activate Cost of Sales Accounting by the following
menu path :
SAP Customizing IMG -
> Financial Accounting ( New ) -
-> Financial Accounting Basic Settings (New) -
>
Ledgers ->Ledger---> Activate Cost of Sales Accounting
Offsetting Account Report ECC 5.0
Offsetting account report for vendors in ECC 5.0 is

Is there any difference running W7Pro 64 bit and 32 bit for Adobe Acorbat 9 Pro Extended

My primary system runs Windows 7 Pro 64 bit system. My other system runs a 32 bit system. I would like to buy Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. Is there any difference with running it on either systems? Or will one version work on both the 64 bit and 32 bit systems.

It would work on both systems, but you no longer can buy Acrobat 9...

Is there a difference in quality between exporting to .dv in iMovie09 & FCP

I recently purchased FCP to do batch exporting of full quality .dv files because '09 didn't seem to have that option. I've been messing around with it now, though, and it appears as though both are capable of doing this. I've searched for this information and found conflicting results-- is exporting to .dv in iMovie destructive or is there no difference between '09 and FCP?

This thread sounds mysteriously similar to this one.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2380150&start=0&tstart=0
If you export to .dv with either FCP or iMovie I'm quite certain that you will be re-compressing your video. That's just the nature of the interleaved file structure of .dv
I you import .dv into FCP you will have to render the audio ONE time. Not the video.
If you export .mov files using the current settings (which should be DV NTSC) you will NOT be re-compressing the video. but you will have a .mov file.
FCP is NOT the right application for archival or any sort of file management tasks. File management is one of FCPs weakest attributes.

Is there a difference in quality between importing into 08 and Final Cut Pr

When importing video from a DV camera, is there a difference in the quality of the raw video recorded onto the Hard Drive between iMovie 08, iMovie 6 and Final Cut Pro?
Will I get better quality using Final Cut?
Thanks
Kevin

sorry for 'overwhelming' you with info
yes, all apps copy the dv-encoded material from miniDV devices 'natively' = lossless import..
but only iM08 then adds some 'loss' .. nobody knows exactly, what & how.. but you are not able to EXport lossless from within iM08 ..
example: import dv, export dv = adds blurr and 'magnifies' somehow the same file .. ( ! )
using iMHD≤6, FCE/P allows you, to export lossless = highest quality possible (except the parts of your project, which need renderning, e.g. titles, transitions...)
example: import dv, export dv = same quality ...
so, if _pic quality_ is your major concern, avoid iM08 ..
if you want fast results and export quality doesn't matter: iM08
if you want a Library off all imports ever and full integration into AppleTV/, YT.. = iM08
if you want other codecs than dv and simple use = iM08
if you want all imports for any future project and high dv quality = FCE/P
if you want easy to use and high dv quality = iMHD≤6 ..
if you want other codecs than dv and Hollywood quality = FCP

Is There any difference in Set @Var=ColmnName and Select @Var =Column from Table. I am using it in SSIs for Dynamic Packages

hey there, Kindly elaborate me the difference Between Set and Select clause while Providing value to a Variable or Even a Column.
    Declare @var nvarchar(Max)
    Set @var= (Select TestName+ cAst(TestId as nvarchar) from TblTest where TestID=1)
    Insert into TblTest(TestName)
    Values (@var)
    Declare @var nvarchar(Max)
    Select @var= (Select TestNAme + Cast(TestId as Nvarchar(MAx)) from TblTest Where TestID=1)
    Insert into TblTest(TestName)
    Values(@var)
Values and result I am getting is Same in Both.
But just wondering if there is any Difference. and if Any which Should I prefer.
And Which one uses less Resources.

Is there a difference in Photomerge between CC and Elements?

Hello! I have a quick product question - I have been using Lightroom for some time now and am very comfortable with the workflow I have going. I shoot quite a bit of film, and recently have been "scanning" my 6x6 negatives with my DSLR and a macro lens. I downloaded a trial of Elements 13 to see how the Photomerge option works. Long story short, it works great. Now I am curious if there are any differences between the Photomerge option in Photoshop CC vs Photoshop Elements 13. The only difference I can come up with is that the CC Photomerge has an option directly from Lightroom and Elements does not (merge to Panorama still greyed out with Elements installed). Thank you for your great products, and I truly appreciate your insight.

Most people either use one app or the other, and have very limited knowledge of the one they don't use. But from what I can find from a quick look round the web, they seem to be the same.

Is there a difference in Airport between MacBook and PowerBook?

My husband has MacBook Pro and I have PowerBook G4. He is able to obtain wireless at times when I am not. Is there a difference in the Airport cards? I am considering purchasing the MacBook and wonder if this better technology, etc.?

We have the same problem at our house. My Powerbook connects with no problem while my wife's MacBook Pro loses the connection periodically. I've heard rumors that the latest Airport update may have affected the Macbooks but not the Powerbooks...?
I'm hoping someone fixes this, because my wife works from home and the unstable connection is frustrating!

Is there a difference in levels between CS4 and CS5

I've just upgraded from CS4 to CS5 and I'm finding I seem to have more 'space' in levels when processing raw files to TIFF - especially at the shadow end.
Heavily polarised landscapes with lots of sky sometimes show saturation clipping (a spike at the left hand edge of the histogram) in the shadow end of the blue channel in CS4. In CS5 / ACR 6.2 this seems to have gone away and there is more headroom at the extremes of the histogram generally. This means I can process the difficult images and get a TIFF with a clean histogram.
Problem is when I open the finished TIFF file in an earlier version of Photoshop the clipping is back. This is a problem as image libraries often reject images which show clipping.
Anyone know whats going on? Is there a change in the way CS5 maps the histogram? (All images are saved with an Adobe (1998) colour space)

Thanks for the answer Chris - I've checked all the default settings & I think everything is as it should be - but I'm still seeing a difference. Here's an example of a raw file (16bit Tiff), processed in CS5 and viewed in CS5
and here is the same file this time viewed in CS4:
I'm pretty sure all the color management settings are the same - any ideas?

Is there a difference in sharpneing between PS12 and CS6

I am currently running the low cost trial version of CS6. Prior to this I was using PS11.
I am trying CS6 because a chap on a forum I use said he noticed his sharpening improved greatly when using CS6.
I also, have noticed a big improvement since using CS6, my shots, predominately football (soccer) are without doubt much sharper.
I don't use the bells and whistles on CS6 and have considered going back to PS11 and upgrading to PS12 if the sharpening has been improved.
I guess it all revolves around how much CS6 will be when my trial ends in December. Currently it costs me £8.78 per month (approx $15). I would be happy to go to about £20 ($33) per month but no way £50. ($83)
So, please has the sharpening imoproved on PS12 compared to PS11?
Many thanks
Simon.

I think you are right!!! Just noticed, I came here via a link. I'll repost and hopelfully the mods will delete this.
Thanks.

Is there any difference between the 2 different USB cords when syncing???

I know this may be a paranoid question to ask but I just wanted to make sure.
Is there any difference between the newer USB cords with the shorter plug (the end that goes into the iPhone) and the older ones with the bigger, square-shaped plugs that you can pinch on the sides to retract?
Is there a difference in transfer speed, syncing speed, or reliability, or build quality?
Just asking cuz the newer USB cord that came with my iPhone 3GS is getting frayed and so I'm using the older one instead.
Thanks to whoever helps.

No difference except, as you noted, you have to squeeze the older one to remove it. It's important that you do that so you don't damage it or the iPod.
