Is this the only way to capture?

Hello
I have a few good quality VHS (C) tapes to edit through Elements 11, so I have put one of them in my Toshiba VCR and clicked 'Play'.
I was hoping to bypass the software that came on a disk with the various cables that connect the VCR to my Win 7 PC. This software saves movie files as MPG files. So, I opened up Elements 11 but regardless of which method of 'Capture' I chose (DV Camcorder, etc) I was unable to see the movie playing. I get this error message (please see screenshot below).
Do I need to accept, therefore, that I have to download and install the VHS tapes to my hard drive using the software (ArcSoft ShowBiz) that accompanied the various cables, and then import that MPG file into Elements 11 so that I can edit it?
I was hoping to avoid this unnecessary obstacle, but it seems there is little I can do if Elements can't detect my VCR player.
Thanks!
Steve

Using sound in a presentation: Is this the only way?

I need to use sound files with individual slides in Keynote for the iPad. But I don't see sound files in my "media" list, the way I do with the full Keynote program. And if I import a presentation with imbedded sound, the sound will play in preview/edit mode on the iPad, but not in "play."
So I developed a goofy workaround (below).
Is this the only way?
1. Record sound as part of a Quicktime movie.
2. Process & save for iPad.
3. Import the video through iTunes.
4. Place on a slide & set to play automatically.
5. Shrink the movie window to the size of a pixel and hide it somewhere on the slide.
Surely there must be a better way to incorporate audio in Keynote for the iPad??????????

I searched.
The only semi-answer I found was essentially what I stumbled across on my own:
To get sound, you have to import a movie and hide it. Even a video-free Quicktime movie file won't work; it has to be a "real" movie with video content.
This needs fixing in 1.2.

HT203167 I deleted an audiobook out of my iTunes library. Now I have to pay again to download it. Is this the only way?

I deleted an audiobook out of my iTunes library. Now I have to pay again to download it. Is this the only way?

Have you checked to see if the deleted file is still in the recycle bin. If so you can restore it and add it back into the library. If it is on an iPod or iOS device it could be transferred back to your library. As Steve says audiobooks from the iTunes store are currently supplied on a one time only basis, unlike most other purchases. Hopefully the position with audiobooks will change too over time. In the meantime you could Contact Support and explain the circumstances surrounding your error. They may be able to grant an exception and resupply your missing audiobook.

Hide field using a different configuration, is this the only way?.

I know that I can control which configuration is used by inserting code into the do_config_determination method, but is that really the only way?. I don't want to have to even more copies of the configuation showing or not showing this particular field. Surely there must be a way of hiding the field within this method without changing the configuation set being used?.
I just can't believe that there is no way around this.
Now I know that using standard configuration can take care of this, but what if you had a screen with lets say 30 fields or which 5 are dynamic, in other words are either diplayed or to be hidden. The combination of on and off states for these 5 fields being either displayed or hidden would mean that you would gradually build a huge number of screen configurations. Hence the need to hide via coding. Does that seem logical?

One of the suggested solutions was to create one line views and display them beneath the main view. We can the determine (via code) whether these views are displayed via view sets. This in effect allows us to have multiple fields that can be either displayed or hidden depending on some kind of routine/logic.

HT1296 When syncing Outlook on my computer w/my iphone, new events put into my iphone calender did not show up on my computer in Outlook. Is this the only way it works, Outlook to iphone and not both ways?

When syncing my Outlook calender with my iphone calender, only items from Outlook synced. Events I added to my iphone calender did NOT show up on my Outlook calender. Is this the way it works, only one way?

Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and just confirm that you haven't selected a calendar such as the one listed under On My iPhone (if that's listed), and that your have selected your Outlook calendar here as your default. Assuming you have, if you are syncing your calendar using iTunes (rather than iCloud), you may need to reset your sync history in iTunes.

Is this the only way to file a complaint?

I upgraded my Verizon internet service a few months ago, because my connection speed was very slow. I observed that it wasn't getting better and today it was actually worse it's ever been. While Verizon seems to be putting all their efforts into FiOS, it is not available in my area, so I am stuck with "high speed" internet.
I contacted Verizon customer service and was informed that my speed was never upgraded, but the billing department seemed to have gotten the memo and have been charging me since the upgrade order went in.
I want to file a formal complaint because this is absolutely absurd, but I was informed that there is no email address for issues like these. It doesn't really make sense that you can't send an email and community forum complaints are the way to go. Can anyone provide some insight. Thanks.

Is this for landline internet service? If so, you're on the wrong website. You want Verizon Residential. www.verizon.com

A long long pain-staking task...is this the only way?

Hi all
I am tasked with tracking and blurring faces on videos. The footage is terrible, shaky, out of focus at times, low light and the faces going in and out the shot all the time. The way I'm doing this is, in this example with two faces, have 5 video tracks and 1 audio track. On the first vid track I have the untouched video, above that the 2nd video track with guassian blur applied to it and track matte key to the 3rd track, the 3rd track is a square white tile which I then move around as required over the face of person number 1. The 4th video track is a copy of track 2 but keyd to track 5, and track 5 a repeat of 3 with the tile to move around over the face of person number 2. It's a long long task to manually move the tile over the faces, almost frame by frame at times for 2 faces on a 30 minute video. I have spent days researching how to automate this but the trackers in AE and Davincei Resolve Lite need about as much work to reset them when they lose the track as I'm doing in the manual process I outlined.
My question is, before I just submit to days of manual labour and get the hell on with it, does anyone know of a way to make this easier? Preferably some magic plugin from science fiction to do it for me.

Why not simplify your tracks down to a single blurred title track (for each face).
eg create a square rectangle in Titler, apply a degree of opacity then some blur (fx) if required.
Make a few at the same time to cover your requirements.

Logic and Reason. Is this the only way?

I have managed to rewire Reason 3 to Logic Pro 7.2 thanks to frequent popsicle's video. I can record and playback with no problems. Except that in order to control volume/pan in the arrange window I have to have 2 tracks for each instrument. One for the midi to Reason and one for the aux that the instrument is patched to. I can control the volume/pan of the aux track but not the midi which makes sense but why do I need both to get sound? This is mostly just inconvenient but surely it should be possible to have just one reason track in arrange that acts just like one of Logic's internal instruments?

I still find Reason to be a very useful set of
virtual instruments. There's a ton of good stuff in
there. I've hardly ever used the Reason sequencer,
but the instruments, processors and Combinator are
great.
For sure. The combinator is perhaps the nicest thing to happen to Reason. You can really do some cool things with it.
Recently, I've become a bit annoyed that Rewire doesn't allow the slave to send midi to the master. I find this makes using Live (in rewire mode) completely worthless. I've been moving to a LogicRMXReaktor setup, so Reason has lost it's usefulness to me.
I've recently been using it again in ProTools - loved
it, so simple . But now I've (again) gotten rid of
ProTools, so it's time for me to learn how to get it
working in Logic in a way which suits my style.
Note: Using the combinator can really mess up a Logic Reason template (due to Logic's particular way of implementing Rewire). In the internal rewire object, the BUS 'system' is a bit unfriendly. I've never understood why there is a need to have BUS7. BUS6 should show all your device in your Reason rack (not just the first 16).

(Inside) is this the only way of specify html markup for attributes in uiXML?

Hi, I could not work out a way other than creating a DataObject to specify html markup in certain attributes, for example the tip attribute.
Is there any other way?
<provider>
<data name="capts:formatted_text">
<method class="oracle.capts.CaptsProvider" method="getDataObject"/>
</data>
</provider>
<inlineMessage prompt="Search" vAlign="middle" data:tip="tip1@capts:formatted_text">
package oracle.capts;
import oracle.cabo.ui.data.DataObject;
import oracle.cabo.ui.RenderingContext;
import oracle.capts.CookieDataObject;

public class CaptsProvider
private static final String CAPTSNAMESPACE = "http://xmlns.oracle.com/capts";
private static final String COOKIEDATAOBJECT_NAME = "cookie";
private static final String SESSIONATTRIBUTEDATAOBJECT_NAME = "session_attribute";
private static final String FORMATTEDTEXTDATAOBJECT_NAME = "formatted_text";
public static DataObject getDataObject(RenderingContext context, String namespace, String name)
* context - the current rendering context
* namespace - the namespace of the requested DataObject
* name - the name of the requested DataObject
if (_CAPTS_NAMESPACE.equals(namespace))
if (name.equals(_COOKIE_DATAOBJECT_NAME))
return new CookieDataObject();
else if (name.equals(_SESSIONATTRIBUTE_DATAOBJECT_NAME))
return new SessionAttributeDataObject();
else if (name.equals(_FORMATTEDTEXT_DATAOBJECT_NAME))
return new FormattedTextDataObject();
return null;
package oracle.capts;
import oracle.cabo.ui.data.DataObject;
import oracle.cabo.ui.RenderingContext;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.BajaContext;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.ui.BajaRenderingContext;
public class FormattedTextDataObject implements DataObject
public Object selectValue(RenderingContext context, Object select)
BajaContext bajaContext = BajaRenderingContext.getBajaContext(context);
String result = "";
if ( ((String)select).equals("tip1") )
result="<html>Use the <tt>%</tt> operator as a wildcard. e.g. Enter <tt>%<tt> to return all rows, or <tt>%ab%<tt> to return rows that for the chosen search attribute contain the string ab.</html>";
return result;

I think there's three things going on here. First, you do not need to put these HTML
strings in DataObjects. You're probably forgetting to escape the strings - uiXML is XML,
and you've got to follow the rules of XML. For example, the following is illegal XML,
not because of anything in UIX, but because it's invalid XML:
<messageTextInput tip="<html>foo</html>" ../>... and must be written as:
<messageTextInput tip="<html>foo</html>" ../>From Java, you only have to follow the Java escaping rules (like \" and \\),
which is why your code only seems to work when you're grabbing the string from
a DataObject.
OK - second thing. There is a new <formattedText> element, and if you want to insert
HTML markup, you can replace a <styledText> with a <formattedText> and it'll do the job.
And - third thing. The "tip" and "message" attributes in UIX contain automatic
support for HTML markup. But you have to let us know when you're using HTML markup,
and the way you do that is by surrounding the string in <html>...</html> - or,
once escaped for XML, <html>...</html>

How do I stop Firefox from creating untitled web pages when I try to send email from a web page. The only way I have found is to turn the computor off and then reboot. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer

Every time I click on a web site that has an email option the browser starts making untitled web pages and never stops unless I turn the computer off. It is very frustrating to not be able to use an email option when offered by a web site. The only way I can send email messages on the Firefox browser is to go into my hotmail acct. and copy and paste the addresses. I don't have this problem when I use the Internet Explorer browser.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT1711 I have over 100 songs I bought back before mid-2009 when Apple dropped this DRM thing. If I want to play those songs on Sonos, the ONLY way to do so is pay Apple another $25/year for iTunes Match and re-download them??

I have a Sonos system in my house and suddenly discovered that many songs I bought off of iTunes years ago are 'grayed out' when I try to play them from my iPhone or do not appear as options at all when I try to play them on Sonos from my overall music library. It's well over 100 songs I bought back before mid-2009 when Apple dropped this DRM thing. From what I think I am reading, if I want to play those songs on Sonos, the ONLY way to do so is pay Apple another $25/year for iTunes Match (which I don't have any interest in) and then re-download them all in iTunes Plus format??

Matt,
I agree it was not all communicated real well, but in your case it will work out. You missed the program where you could have upgraded 100 tracks for 30 cents each (=$30) but now you can do it via Match (=$25). It works pretty simply, per this document:
Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?
Yes. If you subscribe to iTunes Match, you can download your previously purchased music again in the iTunes Plus format. To do so:
You need to delete the original DRM song from your library first. Doing this enables you to download the song again in the iTunes Plus format from iTunes in the Cloud.
Click the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store.
Click Music.
Locate the artist of the song you want to upgrade.
Click the iCloud Download icon next to the song you want to upgrade.
Just don't forget to put the Plus files on your hard drive -- properly backed up of course -- and to cancel the Match subscription before the second year rolls around!

Is this the only way to capture?
