Language settings for movies

Hello,
I live in Switzerland and have a Swiss Credit Card but unfortunately speak neither French or German. When I try and buy movies I can only buy them in French or German! This for me and I'm sure many other people is a bit of a pain since the movie I'd like to see is in a language I can't understand. Is there any way I can buy/rent a movie from you in English with out changing my billing details to a UK/US credit card which I don't have?
Many thanks

Hussein,
I tried to follow the instructions described in the mentioned docs:
* Create additional procedure in my package:
procedure Set_Ctx_Lang_Attr (p_Language_Code IN VARCHAR2) is
begin
DBMS_SESSION.SET_CONTEXT( 'USERENV', 'LANG', p_Language_Code);
end;
* Granting priviledges connect, resource, dba to the user.
* Execute this new procedure in SQL Developer just before executing procedure that references view MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_VL.
But it doesn't work yet. I still get an error message indicating missing priviledges. Any idea?
Apart from that, when calling the corresponding web service later on, is it correct that language settings are handled automatically by Service Invocation Framework with Web Service Authorization? So USERENV('LANG') (verified in MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_VL) is automatically set in dependence of Web Service Authorization - right?
Thanks,
Carolin

Regional and Language Settings for Window and BEX Style

Hi All,
When I change the Regional and Language Settings for Windows, Standards and Formats value to English (USA) the standard Style for BEX is active. For instance, input-ready cell is bordered with blue. But when I switch to Turkish this style is not active.
Additionally, I have to change Style for each Workbook one by one. How can we adopt a style to every workbook.
Regards,

Lars,
This is a setting on the 'Defaults' tab in the User Profile. This can be set when a new user is set-up in SU01, or it can be changed by each user according to personal preference in SU3. I'm sure there is a system table where these settings are stored that could probably be edited for all users, if that is desired, but I don't know which table that would be off the top of my head.
Hope this helps...

Best settings for .mov files on a Data CD or DVD ?

Hi,
I have a series of sequences in FCP. I want to export them as .mov files and .wmv flies to be played off a data CD or DVD. They are essentially talking heads with a few cut away shots about 5 min each.
I'm finding that when I save them as "high" quality .mov & .wmv files through "Export / Quicktime Compression", they don't play smoothly off the CD. Compression too high I guess?
Can someone recommend some settings for me? Somewhere to start and I can tweak... I'd like to keep the viewing window as large as possible. Some of the streaming settings are too small.
I have Flip4Mac installed for making the .wmv files. Suggestions there are welcome too.
Cheers,
P

Nevermind.
I just found out Snow Leopard can only write HFS+ on CD and DVD for data.
I have a utility called "Burn" that is freeware and it lets me choose the filesystem - including Joliet and hybrid.

Problem in language settings for Conversion of "." [dot] to "," [comma]

Hi Experts,
                We have a requirement to change the default decimal notation from one user language to other user language. For instance the decimal notation for Dutch language is ","[comma] , we need to change this notation to "."[dot]. Whenever user put a comma it should be treated as dot. In R/3 ,In SU01 Transaction we are able to change the decimal notation etc.Is there any possibilities to achieve this in portal content development.

Hi Ramanan,
The problem is that the decimal seperator is defined by http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormatSymbols.html - which is used within the DecimalFormat class; and from the portal applications, this is created with the user's locale.
So there is - as far as I know - no way to change these standard mapping locale <-> format definition.
Hope it helps

Language settings for shared elements

I am encountering some problems that most probably are language related with items and custom attributes.
We have installed both Norwegian and Swedish, and the shared elements page group has activated translations. All my custom attributes were default set to enable translations, but I want to disable these as we won't need this yet. When unchecking the enable translations option I get a warning stating that all attribute values not related to global languages will be lost.
What does this mean? I really need to see som documentation as to what happens when translations are applied.

You don't need to remove the setting from the attributes. Just make the languages unavailable in the page group properties. That will effectively disable the translation feature for the unavailable languages in the page group.
The "Enable Translations" property means that a different value for the attribute is allowed for each language. If translations are not enabled for an attribute, the value of the attribute is identical for each language.
For example, say you have an attribute called CONTACT, in which you enter an email address. If translations are enabled, each translation can have it's own CONTACT. If translations are not enabled, updating the CONTACT attribute for any language will update the value for all languages.
If you remove the "Enable Translations" property for an attribute, the value of the attribute for each language will revert to the value for the default language. However, please test this before you do it to an attribute that is widely used.
What else did you need to know about translations?
Regards,
Jerry

English language settings for HK

I'm live in HK and I'm only able to read English. On my iphone 4GS and witht he latest OS, whenever I sign in from a site that requires social media such as google plus 1 or FB, it directs my pages to the language of HK which I don't want. Can this be fixed through settings, if so where?
My iphone is setup in English but the region I put as HK SAR

Some versions of the drivers do not allow different layouts, but the newest one works fine if I am not mistaken.
Strangely enough, when I set the sound to 7.1 in Windows, when doing the basic test in the Control Panel, I get the sound only from L and R channels. Is that correct? I guess in that case I should be able to hear them all...

Language Settings for Portal

Hi All:
How do we will enable translations for the custom iviews that we are developing.
For standard delivered iview when we turn switch for a specific language the headers ( the java labels ) are translated automatically.
Is there special settings in Java that needs to be enabled for translations.
Thanks
Rachel

Hi my friend:
That is an amazing document where you can learn and manage translations in your applications. See to the end of Document... See page 60.

Thinkpad SystemUpdate - Language settings for downloaded utilites?

There seem to be slight troubles in the way how Lenovo's SystemUpdate keeps (or does not keep) track of regional, language-dependent settings.
Scenario: Installed a clean Windows (english, non-T61-specific) XP SP2 on a T61, copied and installed T61-specific network drivers and SystemUpdate and then started automatic SystemUpdate search and install.
Problem: SystemUpdate loads and installs mixed language tools and utilities (partly english and partly german) based on facts which I currently can not reproduce. E.g., installed version of ThinkVantage Productivity Center is the english one (as intended), Fingerprint reader utility and some others are all in german. Selected WinXP keyboard layout was german, country/locale set to Austria but I'd prefer to download and install plain english drivers and tools.
Any hint what factors influence on SystemUpdate's decision for a specific language and how I can configure the language for downloads? I do not remember of having seen any language selection option.
tia and best regards

Audition is now included with the CS 5.5 suite.
Jim thanks but as you can see I firstly stated that I have used the Production Premium suite.
My main beef with Adobe being that the most likely area of interest after everything else in Premiere being "native" and fast is that you will have noise artefacts on your audio timeline which you may wish to fix quickly. Of course in FC Pro you could "round trip" out to Soundtrack Pro and take a noise print do other stuff. What I REALLY LIKE about Audition is the spectral display/ability to use stuff like the healing brush it is a much more intuitive way of doing repairs.
This is often the trouble with marketing departments they simple do not understand how things work out in the field.
But once again I wish to congratulate Adobe on their comprehensive metalogging features and the abilities to embed the metadata or separate sidecar method. GREAT WORK!!!

Exact import settings for .mov files via MPEG Streamclip?

Ok, as I mentioned in this other thread , I'm looking to import some files recorded at an odd resolution into FCE.
Resizing my 512x288 files to 720x480 looks like it works, as well as with my 640x480 ones (don't know how it'll ultimately mess with the quality)... but I did do a test using some footage from 3 different video sources with different native resoultions, a)720x480 Sony DV Cam, b) 512x288 captured by helmet cam on Archos PMA 430, and c) 640x480 captured on Canon SD600, as well as .jpeg photos at 640x480 res.
I changed the odd sizes (Archos & Canon) to 720x480 using MPEG Streamclip, resampling the sound uncompressed at 48 khz, using the Apple DV/DVCPRO NTSC compression option. Importing these files into FCE, I mixed them and the Sony standard footage, and a few pictures up on a timeline, rendered it and exported it to a QT file, then burnt a CD. It appears to have worked to my satisfaction.
My question is, before I go and convert about 60 5-10 minute clips to this 720x480 resolution for use in a full length documentary, are there any settings I should be ticking off on the MPEG Streamclip interface to maximize the likelihood that the final project will work as well as the test did?
Below are the options I selected in the test, which seemed to work:
MPEG STREAMCLIP
Compression: Apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
Quality: 100%
Sound: Uncompressed Stereo 48 KHZ
Frame Size: 720x480
Frame Rate: 29.97
Checked boxes for:
-Frame Blending
-Better Downscaling
-Interlaced Scaling
Zoom: 100%
X/Y: 1
Center: 0,0
Field Dominance: Upper field first
That's about it. I tried doing similar conversions in a trial version of DIVX Converter pro, but the quality was noticibly lower than in MPEG streamclip. Maybe I just had the wrong settings in it.
Anyway, Tom Wolsky has mostly got me on the right track in the last post "...so the material needs to be a .mov QuickTime file in DV NTSC, at 29.97fps, audio should be Linear PCM with a sample rate of 48KHz, and frame resolution of 720x480 using the CCIR601 digital video aspect ratio... be warned you're scaling up a very, very heavily compressed video stream, so it's going to look less than optimal when you make it DV. I can't believe they can do 192kbps at that frame rate, when DV, which is heavily compressed as well, is 3.5MB/sec."
I have no idea if what I described in my test is heavily compressed or not, so couldn't really say how the settings I mentioned above affect Tom's latter advice.
Anyway, any help would be welcome before I encode all these files. Thanks.
iMac 17-inch 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4)

I'm kind of confused because the only settings I could find on the Handycam for audio are 12 khz and 16 khz, and though I think I filmed them at 12, I've captured the footage at both within FCE... I'm not sure either have shown any probs when imported at 48 khz as yet. Not sure if that's because they are a multiple of 48 or I just got lucky. Either way, 1) does the audio bit rate the footage was captured at (12 khz) change to 16 if changed on the camcorder (or is it solely what the original was filmed in, period) prior to capture on FCE, 2) and if so or if not, how serious of a problem will it pose, if I do nothing and keep the FCE settings at the normal NTSC 48khz, in later stages of production considering there will be a lengthy timeline?

Language settings for BEX Analyser

Hi All,
I am trying to run a report for which dispalys customer names. The BEX report is unable to recognize Greek letters and displays # instead of that. The same report runs fine on Web.
Can anybody please suggest what additional settings need to be done so that BEx report can identify Greek letters?
Thanks,
Manisha

The problem is solved for greek letter by adding a system variable sap_codepage - 1704. But only one entry can be maitained for this variable. And the report still cannot identify Russian characters.
Is there any way to solve this problem for BEX 3.X for all multiple languages?

What settings for .mov

Hello I've got a 8.7GB .mov video file here and my DVD are only 4.7GBs.
I've got about 7 videos this size that I need to burn onto DVDs. I'm curious what settings you would choose to complete this task.
If at all possible I'd like to not have to end up with two files (1 for video and 1 for sound)
Thanks a bunch!

Hello RcBro,
Depends. What are you going to use the file for? Archival? DVD player playback? Web streaming/download?
One thing I can answer definitively is that you will not end up with elementary stream files of any kind (separate audio/video files), for any of the above destinations anyway.
You have several options. Since you did not mention a DVD-9, I will spare you those details.
I am sure the kind people on this board will help you if you provide a little more information, such as:
-program duration
-final deliverable/use
The size description you gave us really tells us nothing. It might be a uncompressed trailer or a highly compressed feature. With more information, we can give you optimal advice.
Please let us know.

Export compression settings for mov upload to web

When exporting from FCP for an .mov on the web, what should the compression setting be? I'd like to have a 320x240 QT mov with good quality that doesn't take forever to load. I've tried Sorrenson 3 settings, but a 20 second video clip is 38 mb. Please advise. Thanks.

In addition to what the good Captain has said already, may I also suggest dropping the frame rate to 15 or 12 frames.
Also, try using a Quality of Medium (or less) and see what kind of performance (or quality drop) you're getting.
Although it's fairly old at this point (because it was done prior to QT7), check out this KenStone.Net article for a good breakdown of the trade-offs that need to be made when exporting for the Web. Feel free to extrapolate for use with QT7...

Color and output settings for .mov files?

My GH3 shoots either AVCHD, Mp4, or its own variant of the .mov files, up to 60fps and 'all-intra'. Fine and dandy. The .mov files are the easiest to use as they are always just one file, no 'related' files to copy over etc. I'm trying to figure out how to do my grading in Sg, then render for final output so that I can then take that file and port for various possible uses such as dvd, standard computer use, web use ... typical modern stuff.
I've tried setting the timeline to various settings including gamma 1.8 and essentially "none", tried various setting in the render-output panels, using PhotoJpeg or H.264 as the "base" and then trying either no calibration or various choices there ... and still having troubles finding how to match the Sg monitor to the final output.
Any general or preferably specific ideas? I've searched a number of places, and ... this is something that is just mentioned in walk-throughs everywhere I've looked, if it even gets that much. Neither the Adobe movies nor Lynda-dot-com cover this ... and I've spent a couple days doing nothing but this. So ... ideas?
Neil

Same here, I find it unbelievable this occurs and there doesn't seem te be a solution. Is it something developpers know about but can't solve so ignore all the discussions about it?
It seems so simple to me: whether the monitor is calibrated or not, whatever monitor it is, when I place the exported movie window in Quicktime, and one in VLC, next to the Speedgrade window, all on the same monitor, it all should look the same right?! Ok, so I hear Quicktime does its own calibration while playing.
I'm working on a project now which are product films, the end result is a room where everything is white (not overexposed, all details are in there), the product black and blue, plus a model (brown skin).
I'm including a few screenshots of the same shot in different players. Speedgrade, VLC, Quicktime, MPEG Streamclip. MPEG Streamclip comes closest to the Speedgrade monitor. How can I possibly sell this to my client? This is shown on laptops at presentations, beamers via laptops (probably all Windows), big screens with a built-in mediaplayer etc, and most important: online! on youtube/ vimeo.. Not operated by experts, no control over which player is used.
The films will probably almost always be shown by someone doubleclicking on the file, so it opens in the systems standard movieplayer, Quicktime or Windows Media Player. It just has to look good in this! How do I do this?
When I place the exported clip on top of my Speedgrade timeline, it does change (the whole histogram range shifts brighter).
edit: I now exported with Automatic Color Calibration ON, the results has better contrast/ resembles contrast I see in Speedgrade. Placing this clip on top of my Speedgrade timeline shows almost exactly the same. Export to ProRes4444 AutCC: Histogram expands tiny tiny bit, can't see a change in the monitor it's so small.
Export to ProRes422 AutCC: Histogram expands a bit, you can see a slight change in the monitor (whites bit brighter, black bit darker). But acceptable.
No change in the color differences though! Skin colour varies huge in different viewers, highlights have more green/ more magenta.
speedgrade
quicktime
vlc
mpeg streamclip
These screenshots look exactly the same as how the colors are in the viewer the screenshots comes from, even when I place this browser window next to it on the same (calibrated) monitor.
Thanks for any tips..
Peter
edit 2: The frustration gets worse. Playing the clip (prores 422 with Automatic Color calibration) in Preview (Mac, by hitting spacebar when on the file in Finder) shows EXACTLY what I see in Speedgrade monitor! It feels like the solution is out there somewhere but I can't reach it (cause no one will actually play the video in Preview).

Suitable share settings for movie playback

I have a MacBook Pro with dual core I7 2.66 Ghz processor and 8 GB of Ram. Operating system is OSX 10.7.5.
I processed my movie project using Final Cut Pro X. The project consists of a narrator with other media connected to the main storyline.
I had no problem processing the project. I imported optimal media and created proxy media for playback. Playback using the timeline browser works fine.
I just shared my movie using the default “Master File setting.” Playback using VLC player is halting for both video and audio, even when all other applications are closed.
The video is to be shown at a family gathering a few days from now.
1. I shot the video with a digital camera Panasonic DMZ F150 using the built in-microphone. FCPX decided it was a stereo project and I went along, but I am not sure that much is added by this stereo setting. If I were to change to “dual mono”, the only option that FCPX seems to give, would playback performance of the new movie improve? Would sound quality be much affected?
2. Another possibility would be to just show the movie from the timeline browser (full screen). Playback would be “proxy media quality”. Does this make sense?
3. Are there other share settings that might improve playback performance without affecting quality much?
4. Would using Compressor to create the movie help improve playback performance? If so, that would be a good reason to buy Compressor.
Any advice or guidance will be appreciated.

Thanks. After some experimenting, I found that export as Quicktime movie as H 263 seems to play on the G3 with good video quality.
