Kde/dolphin and thunar - different encoding settings?

Hi,
I'm using unison to keep my files synchronized between the different machines I'm working at.
On all I use thunar except for one on that I'm running kde.
What I've noticed it that thunar and kde seem to use a different encoding when mounting an usb flashdrive because unison wants to sync files that weren't changed because of umlauts. So for unison they seem to be different because of their name.
Where's the place to look at for setting up the same encoding  (I assume utf8?) for all systems/DEs?
Thanks!

Yes, it's a FAT filesystem (need it for file exchange with other OS).
So, one of the bot filmanagers is using utf8 by default? I don't know which one because I see the umlauts with both, only unison says the files are differently named.
Where can I put the utf8 option in dolphin/thunar? I don't want to use a fstab entry for flash drives.
As you can see, flash drives aren't my best friends ;b Tried udev rules several time but with no success.

  • Separate Sections of a Sequence with different encoding settings

    Hi!
    Is it possible to set different encoding settings for different parts of a Final Cut sequence? If yes, what must I do?
    Take care,

    All I want to change is the quality setting of the h.264 codec.
    It's all about the movies you will find at:
    http://www.teachers-corner.org/feeds/TC_RSS.xml
    (beware, large files)
    All these movies start off with an intro, which needs a quality setting of 75% to look good. The rest of the screencast looks good enough with a setting of 50%.
    All other parameters shall remain unchanged.
    Did that help?

  • Encoding settings once and for all

    I am often hired to create DVDs consisting of video and stills set to music. When I set the encode too low, the quality (particularly in areas of motion) look less than satisfactory, yet if I set them too high, dissolve transitions look ratty. Has anyone come up with the ideal setting for splitting the difference? And what about encoding scheme—One Pass or one of the VBR modes?

    There's no such thing as a one perfect setting when encoding video. You need to consider a number of factors and you have already found a few - fades, pans, dissolves, fast action, etc all need careful encoding but it depends on the quality of the source footage as to just what settings those will be.
    In general, you can encode different sections at different rates if you split your footage into chunks and encode it separately. You can then reassemble it on the DVDSP time line.
    2 pass VBR is a more accurate encode than 1 pass, but occasionally a CBR encode gives better results (again, it depends on the footage). In general, a 2 pass VBR encode with a maximum of 7.4 and an average of about 5 or 5.5 will cope with most things, but this is by no means a standard setting. You need to experiment with short sections of footage at different bitrates until you get the result you want, then encode it all at the optimum settings.
    Different encoders work in different ways and you should investigate others to use. BitVice is a very good encoder, as is MegaPEG.X - the two work in different ways but are both Mac based. Alternative PC encoders are often very good, but rarely low cost. Look up Cinemacraft, Canopus Procoder and TMPGEnc. for a start.

  • H264 encoding settings - problems with FLV/F4V conversions and playback... HELP!!!

    I do a lot of LIVE ENCODING and have been struggling with FMLE. I own the Adobe Creative Suite of applications and am pretty familiar with working with compatible/required formats, etc.
    We have been primarily using VP6/mp3 for encoding. Most of our work is SD. We also always seem to have trouble when trying to encode the FLV file to another format, audio always seem to be out of sync, but sometimes it works...
    Do you know why that would be regarding the FLV audio falling off sync when encoding to another format, such as MOV? Also, when we try to play back the FLV, the audio sounds garbled up and only plays well in Adobe Media Player.
    I keep hearing H264 encoding will provide better video, but I just can't get that to work. Also, why is it that my entire CS4 suite of applications can't read or playback the F4V file- that's unacceptable from Adobe, just a big huge pain the butt... I've had to buy several cheapie applications to try and read F4V files and try to convert it, except that converting F4Vs seems to be a hit-or-miss.
    What should I be using to playback and convert F4Vs? I also heard changing the extension to MP4 works, but I haven't seen that work, not even once. The cheap video conversion apps I have that read F4Vs are: FFMPEGX and Wondershare (Youtube). Sometimes they open F4V, but not most of the time... 
    I am using a super fast new Macbook Pro i7, 8GB ram (not the thunderbolt/usb3), CPU always runs smoothly and effectively.
    Also, I always use the Canopus ADVC-110 as my transcoder. I do both video via Firewire IN or Composite IN, then Firewire OUT into the Mac encoder. FMLE sees it ok, but I wonder if this device might be my problem.
    VP6 settings are as follows:
    VP6 video / MP3 audio
    300 to 500k video
    30 fps
    640x480 in/out
    44100hz audio
    56k audio
    We want to start using H264 encoding settings, but in my experience trying it out, the output file is ALWAYS PROBLEMATIC. Also, when testing a live stream, the audio seems to fall off sync with the video.
    I am looking for your recommendations on the H264 settings I should try. Most of my events are simple meetings with 1 to 5 speakers, mostly talking heads. We rarely encode high motion video, but I would also like to be able to adjust H264 settings for both talking heads and medium to high motion without (any) frame drops.
    I have tried streaming to multiple/different Flash Media Servers, archived only to file, and H264 results seem always bad.
    Any recommendations from professionals in the live streaming arena are much appreciated. I thank you for your time in advance.
    Thank you!

    Hello Hugo
    Sorry to know that you are facing these kind of issues, let me try to reply and understand issues one by one.
    >>We have been primarily using VP6/mp3 for encoding. Most of our work is  SD. We also always seem to have trouble when trying to encode the FLV  file to another format, audio always seem to be out of sync, but  sometimes it works...
    -- Which application you are using to convert FLV to other format?
    -- Is these any Audio - Video sync issue when you play FLV file in Adobe Media Player? if NO, it means FLV file created properly.
    >> Do you know why that would be regarding the FLV audio falling off sync  when encoding to another format, such as MOV? Also, when we try to play  back the FLV, the audio sounds garbled up and only plays well in Adobe  Media Player.
    -- Which application you are using to convert FLV to MOV? if FLV playabck fine and without a/v sync issue, it should convert MOV with a/v sync.
    -- It depend on audio codec selection by Media player or correct audio codec not installed for media player. Install appropriate audio codec to play in other media player if you dont want to play in Adobe Media Player.

    -- Adobe Flash Media Server version 3.5 and later and Adobe Flash Media  Live Encoder 3 can record content in MPEG-4 (F4V) format using an  industry-standard recording technology known as "fragments" or "moof  atoms." Some MPEG-4 compatible tools and players do not support moof  atoms.
    The F4V Post Processor tool aggregates the information from all  the moof atoms into a single moov atom and outputs a new file." You can download the tool from above location: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/tool_downloads/

  • "current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are invalid" message

    I have some files I am working with. Details and what happened:
    Had some music files where I was doing some trimming/splitting. Files worked fine in itunes.
    Open the files in Quicktime Pro 7 to trim them. Exported to aif.
    Opened the files with itunes. They open and play just fine.
    In Itunes I click"create AAC version" to convert them.
    I receive the message "An error occurred while trying to import the file. The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file."
    I don't know what to do from here. Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Make sure that the AIFFs that you export are set for 16 bit PCM.
    Also, assuming that you are using 44.1 kHZ sampling in your AIFFs, make sure that you are not trying to use 48 kHz in the AAC.

  • [kde] dolphin has an inactive search panel and no fancy search options

    Hi there,
    I've recently seen a great movie about 'smart folders' in kde. Anyway the idea was to save search results as a place in dolphin. Tried it, but I discovered my 'find' options are limited (e.g. I can't add multiple search conditions) and the new search panel options are all inactive.
    Also the file grouping in View>Show in groups is inactive. I'm somewhat sure it's connected with the unavailability of find options.
    I positive nepomuk and stringi are running. I'm probably missing some packets, though I can't riddle out witch ones.
    Help and guidance appreciated.
    Greetz

    I sow the spot, but that isn't anything new because that is just combination "Find tool" (activated by pressing Ctrl plus F) and "Folder View" widgets! I'm nor sure, but it might need to have installed "extra/kdebase-kfind", I have not tested it without that.
    In the picture that you posted, the right Toolbar (with options Documets, Video ...) was called "Filter" in previous version of Dolphin but now it's named "Search". That tool works on my computer, but that isn't much useful, because results are always same independently on folder - it shows filtered files from all my data. That took a while, since I started Nepomuk and Strigi, to get it active.
    If you look to the help by pressing F1 in Dolphin and go to "The Dolphin Handbook" - "Quick Tips" - "Searching in Files", you realised that Dolphin "Search tool" doesn't do what it is supposed to do!

    You can undo your permission changes. Probably the most relevant one is cookies. Try one or both of these methods:
    (1) Page Info > Permissions tab
    While viewing a page on the site:

  • NetBeans problem: Issue with servlets and Chinese character encoding

    Java Version: JDK1.5.0_01, JRE1.5.0_01 (International version)
    Netbeans Version: Netbeans IDE 4.0
    OS: Windows XP Personal Edition
    Dear Sirs,
    First at all thanks for reading this post. I am having the following issue. I am creating an application using html pages and servlets. I am using Chinese and English languages on them (html encoding UTF-8).
    I created a project in Netbeans and added an idex.html screen reporting to a servlet. Both index.html and in the servlet generated html page contains the line:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    Additional, I setup the character code settings in Netbeans:
    (tools-options-Java sources-Expert-default encoding=UTF-8
    When I run the project, index.html displays itself perfectly, with the Chinese characters displayed properly. The problem comes when the html created servlet is displayed, which instead of the Chinese characters some strange characters are displayed (�� instead of Chinese).
    I have tried different encodings from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html without any luck. I also setup the encoding of the file itself (using right click-properties in the project menu of Netbeans).
    Also, when I am editing the servlet, the characters are displayed properly. I type them directly without any issue, but then the display is wrong at runtime.
    Also, just in case this have something to do with the problem, my PC was bought in US, therefore the default character set is not Chinese. I had to install the Chinese typing stuff later on. But like I said earlier, the html page is displayed properly, so I really think is some problem with Netbeans.
    After a week trying to find a solution, I decided to post it here in the hopes that someone will show me the way of the light.
    Thanks in advance for any ideas or help provided
    Aral.

    Ok, I found out some problems with Netbeans as well.
        public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
                          HttpServletResponse response)
            throws IOException, ServletException
            response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
            request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
            response.setContentType("text/html");
            PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
            byte[] st = {-25,-75,-124,-27,-100,-106,-17,-68,-102,-27,-80,-113,-27,-72,-125,-26,-118,-75,-26,-105,-91,-27,-82,-93};
            out.println("this works: ");
            out.println(new String(st,"UTF-8"));
            out.println("<br>");
            out.println("this doesn't: ");
            out.println("some chinese copied from the Internet<br>");Right click the .java file and choose properties -> encoding UTF-8
    Then I make a copy of the .java file, rename it to html and open it with IE sure enough
    the Chinise is allready unreadable (not it's still readable in the IDE);
    When I compile the file with F9 I get the following error:
    whatever.java:101: warning: unmappable character for encoding Cp1252
    Tried to set the encoding to UNICODE but then the file doesn't compile.
    I gues you have to download the Japanese version for it to work correctly.

  • Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder running slow

    Hello everyone,
    I'm having trouble with CS4, which is running significantly slower than CS3 did on a older machine. The CS4 suite is installed on a Dell Precision M6400:
    Windows Vista 64-Bit
    Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53 GHz
    8 GB RAM
    NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M Graphics with 512MB dedicated memory
    The OS is running on a 57.5 GB HD (C:) and the Adobe suite is installed on a 298 GB Solid State HD (D:), except for Adobe Media Encoder, which is installed on the C: drive.
    My project has 4 15-16 minute sequences. The sequences are in DV NTSC, 29.97 fps,  My scratch disks are set to a folder on the C: drive. Media Cache Files and the Media Cache Database points to a folder on the D: drive.
    These are some of the problems I'm having:
    - Premiere Pro CS4 generates peak files every time I open a project
    - It then takes 3-5 minutes to render before I can preview a 16-minute sequence
    - Adobe Media Encoder takes 5 hours to render a 16-minute sequence (as flv) that has been previously rendered
    - AME takes 1 hour to render every 15 minute sequence that has never been rendered before
    Are my settings affecting their performance? Is there any way to improve it? Thanks.
    (Premiere Pro is the only app that is slow)

    The data rate for replay is one thing, the data rate from disk to memory then from memory to CPU and back the other way are different matters and ought not to be confused. It is well-established that for a computer to edit AVCHD you need top end components, and note that I said there were three tasks to distinquish with increasing hardware requirements, namely merely replaying the video, specifying edits in the editor and then the rendering. It is commonly accepted by all the industry vendors that to do remotely commercial AVCHD rendering you need a minimum Quadcore CPU then that eats data fast, in order to not let it go to waste you need a fast motherboard bus fast memory and in order for none of those to go to waste you need the fastest disk set-up you can manage. I in fact have a 4-disk RAID0 volume using SATA (I think the disk model is SATAII but I have to await return from the repair center before I can confirm). For this RAID0 volume I have run speed test software from BlackMagic because I have one of their HDTV capture cards. It recorded that this volume which remember is doing parallelised IO is just fast enough to receive a encoded HDTV stream from the BlackMagic card but too slow to receive an uncompressed HDTV stream, indeed when I tried both I found the volume did keep up with compressed but fell behind with uncompressed. Remember that with a RAID0 volume of 4 SATAII disks a given file gets spread over the four disks and hence IO is spread over those 4 3G/s data lanes. Also remember with these disks 3G/s is just a burst speed, for AVCHD we are interested in sustained serial IO which is much less.
    Before my machine broke down, I found that it took 5 hours to render 33 minutes of HDTV albeit as it went along it transcoded from AVCHD to a Microsoft HD format for Vista-only. Another interesting thing is that I found that the longer this render ran the slower it became, the estimated time started at 3 hours but the actual was five and the last one third took maybe 3 hours. Because the machine broke after that run I couldn't figure the bottleneck. For my machine bear in mind that at the repair shop we found that the Quadcore had only half the necessary electrical power plugged in, the monitor software showed however that it constantly ran around 90% of whatever capacity that reduced power supply permitted. Now then we can puzzle over why it got slower and slower and yet CPU consumption remained consistent and near to full capacity, memory was not the bottleneck because that was constant at 6.4G. But you can say that this was maybe performing like a Dualcore and was hitting some sort of wall, if you had a 1 hour render with that rate of degeneration of performance factored in what would happen to the render time, and for 3 hours you could be running indefinitely. I hope when the machine comes back the correct power supply will make it behave like a Quadcore should for this type of application. Anyway I have two theories for the degradation. First is just that PrProCS4 was getting its knickers in a twist and thereby just doing more computation per minute of video to be rendered as time went by, maybe internal resource management related to OO-type programming maybe, or related to disk IO falling behind, both these theories have problems, for the latter the CPU usage should then have dropped also.
    Anyways, you need really a Quadcore system and blazing fast disk to work fully with AVCHD commercially, we found an external SATAII disk so if I were you I would just go get one and move on with your life.

    For AVCHD you MUST have FAST disks.
    AVCHD actually has a lower data date than DV. You need lots of CPU muscle, but disk speed is really not a factor specific to AVCHD. Anything that works for DV will work just as well for AVCHD (and HDV as well).

  • Need advice on encode settings for Premiere file to be played back on DVD

    Hi - hoping someone can help me with my encoding settings.  I seem to be on the right track because everything looks good until you play the video on DVD.
    I use Windows Movie Maker to encode my exports to DVD.  This software does not accept MP4 but it seems to accept a variety of other files and one is WMV.  I first exported a WMV clip from Premiere at 1920x1080 (the raw video and graphics are also in that size).  Then I exported another WMV clip to 1280x720.  I just wanted to see what both of them look like on a DVD during play back.
    Here are the export settings:
    Here is what the1280 WMV looks like when it's played back on my desktop computer in Windows Media player.  As you'll see everything looks very clean:
    I then imported the 2 WMV clips into Windows Movie Maker, selected the 16:9 settings, and it encoded them into a finished DVD.  I then played the DVD back on my 50 inch TV in my living room.  Below you'll see a photo I took of the 1920 clip; notice how the text looks jagged:
    Then the photo below of the 1280 clip looks much cleaner.
    But obviously I'd like for the finished DVDs to look if possible even cleaner than the 1280 photo above - hopefully like it looks in the photo of the WMV playing back on my computer.  These videos will be distributed to different local offices.
    Are my WMV settings correct?  Should I export to other than WMV? How can I improve on the 1280 DVD photo above so everything looks even cleaner (if possible)?  I have Adobe Encore - should I use that instead of Movie Maker?
    Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

    A DVD is 720x480 so anything larger must be scaled down to be legal according to the DVD specification
