Letterboxing with widescreen source - CS4

I am using Premiere CS4 and I have an issue/problem (?) with the output from Media Encoder. The project is PAL widescreen.
I exported the timeline and selected "Microsoft AVI" codec. The resultant video shows perfectly in Windows Media Player, 16:9 aspect ratio. If I play the same avi file in Real player I get the video 4:3 letterboxed. The same results with any other compression; flv, f4v wmv etc.
Also, when I embed an flv video into Flash (CS4) I still get the 4:3 letterboxed result.
Not sure if this is a Premiere problem or Flash problem.
Any help appreciated.
Steve
Note: The original footage was shot on a Sony TRV-950 camcorder in 16:9 mode. Not sure if the black bands top and bottom were recorded by the camcorder and Premiere (and Windows Medi Player) recognises this and cuts them off. Whilst Flash doesn't.

The video that Flash sees is 4:3 format. The top and bottom bars are part of the footage as far as Flash is concerned. I have tried every permutation of dimensions within Flash but no luck. The problem surely resides in what Premeire exports, it's just that some programs (Window Media Player, Premiere Pro and DVD Encore) seem to be able to display it correctly.
The way that I understand how the TRV-950 works in widescreen mode is that it doesn't use the full height of the sensor, so it crops in-camera to give a 16:9 format.

Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance
Derek Randall

I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them, However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

Where does Lightroom put HDR in the grid view? Is there anyway to have Lightroom stack the HDR file with the source files?

I can't decipher where (and why) the program is putting the HDR image in the grid. I stack all of my HDR source images so they are easy to track and manage. Other apps/plugins allow you to stack resulting images with their source image. That would be great if there's a way to set that in LR preferences.

Thanks, but this doesn't really answer the question about stacking the HDR file with the source files. Yes, it does put the file in the same folder, however many of my folders have 100s of images (that often look similar) and as far as I can tell, LR places them randomly in the sort order. It doesn't appear to put them at the beginning or end of the sort (usually by date), but somewhere randomly in the middle. Even if it could be made clear what method it is using to sort them, that would help locate one file among hundreds.
Ideally, however it should allow you to stack with the stacked source files. Is there anyway to do this? If not, is it a feature that could be requested?

Problem with setting Source Level in Sun Studio 2

I've got problem with setting Source Level to 1.5 in Sun Studio 2. When I try to set it to 1.5 in Project properties and click Ok everything seem to go well, but when I open Project Properties again Source Level is set to 1.4. I need this to work cause I started to lear Java recently and I want to use foreach loop.
Please help

I'm just citing an example using Date().
In fact, whether I use DateFormat or Calendar, it shows the same result.
When I set the date to 1 Jan 1950 0 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds,
jdk1.4.2 will always return me 1 Jan 1950 0 hours 10 minutes 0 seconds.
It works correctly under jdk1.3.1

Installing and using Adobe Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4

Hi,
I am trying to install the Air SDK 2.5 with Flash Professional CS4 with the intention of creating a program to use Actionscript 3 to communicate with the UDP interface using datagrams. (The server is the IL2 device link interface) As I am very new to this development environment I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions.
1) Can I use datagram sockets with Air 2.5 with Actionscript 3 and Flash CS4?
2) Is there special procedure for installing the AIR SDK 2.5 or do I use the instructions layout in "How to Overlay the Adobe Air 2 SDK for Use with Flash Professional - Flash professional CS4"?
3) If I do use those instructions, when I edit the namespace for my application do I set it to 2.0 or 2.5?
4) As a stepping stone to building my program I was trying to try to build the Actionscript 3 DatagramSocketExample program that is published by Adobe. Unfortunately I am getting a '1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: DatagramSocketDataEvent'.
Is there a step by step tutorial on how to get the example code up and running?
Thankyou for your time and patience with my noob questions
Ian

This was part of the AIR 2.0 beta release note, but I used this for 2.5 and it works nice.
You can try it too an make sure you use 2.5 wherever the not says 2.0beta2.
Goodluck.
How to Update Flash CS4 to Use the AIR 2 Beta SDK
If you use Flash CS4 Professional to build Adobe AIR applications, please follow the instructions below to manually update the version of the AIR SDK to use version 2.0.
Update Flash CS4 Professional to version 10.0.2 at http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html or select "Help > Updates... " from within Flash CS4.
Quit Flash CS4 Professional if it is open.
Navigate to the Flash CS4 installation folder. The default location on Windows is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\" and on Mac OS "/Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/"
Within the "Adobe Flash CS4" folder you should see a folder called "AIK1.5". If this folder is not present repeat step #1.
Rename the folder "AIK1.5" to "AIK1.5 OLD" or delete it if you do not need to save a copy of it.
Make a new folder called "AIK1.5"
Download the Adobe AIR 2 SDK from the labs website and uncompress the contents of the folder to the new "AIK1.5" folder you just created.
Copy the "airglobal.swc" file located within the "Adobe Flash CS4/AIK1.5/frameworks/libs/air/" folder into the "Adobe Flash CS4/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/AIR1.5/" folder.
Flash CS4 is now configured to use the AIR 2 beta 2 SDK.
In order to take advantage of the new AIR 2 beta 2 features, you will need to update your application descriptor file to use the "2.0beta2" namespace.

Howto deal with multiple source files having the same filename...?

Ahoi again.
I'm currently trying to make a package for the recent version of subversive for Eclipse Ganymede and I'm almost finished.
Some time ago the svn.connector components have been split from the official subversive distribution and have to be packed/packaged extra. And here is where my problem arises.
The svn.connector consists (among other things) of two files which are named the same:
http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/features/org.polarion.eclipse.team.svn.connector_2.0.3.I20080814-1500.jar
http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/plugins/org.polarion.eclipse.team.svn.connector_2.0.3.I20080814-1500.jar
At the moment makepkg downloads the first one, looks at its cache, and thinks that it already has the second file, too, because it has the same name. As a result, I can neither fetch both files nor use both of them in the build()-function...
Are there currently any mechanisms in makepkg to deal with multiple source files having the same name?
The only solution I see at the moment would be to only include the first file in the source array, install it in the build()-function and then manually download the second one via wget and install it after that (AKA Quick & Dirty).
But of course I would prefer a nicer solution to this problem if possible. ^^
TIA!

Dynamic columns with Excel Source?

I have Excel file number 1 with columns A ja B.
I have database table with columns A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H etc. (there are 100 columns)
I know how to import normally data with Excel Source and OLE DB Destination with Excel file 1.
Now I have new need.
I should be able to import dynamically Excel files with any combination of columns.
It should be automatic import with For Each Container.
When new files like below is imported, I should not be make any changes to SSIS.
Excel 2) Columns A, G, X (so column A data must be added to column A in database etc)
Excel 3) Columns B, C, G, Y (so column B data must be added to column B in database etc)
Excel 4) Columns D, X
IS THIS POSSIBLE WITH SSIS? HOW?
CUSTOM CODE IS NEEDED? ANY POINTERS TO SOLUTION?
Kenny_I

How you are going to deal with the rows here?
For example,
Excel 2) Columns A, G, X (so column A data must be added to column A in database etc)
when Excel 3 files are processing are you going to update the record that you added in Excel
2.
Excel 3) Columns B, C, G, Y (so column B data must be added to column B in database etc)
Excel 4) Columns D, X
when Excel 4 files are processing what is your scenario for column X which you just added in
Excel 2. Are you going to update it or add new rows here.
As Arthur has suggested generating your package in code seems the way to go for but before that you need
to think about all the scenarios.

Received response from host (router IP address) with invalid source port 32784

I replaced my old wireless router with a Cisco Linksys E4200, running firmware version 1.0.02 build 13 May 24, 2011. About once a minute the router sends an unsolicited DNS message to the IPV4 multicast address 01:00:5e:00:00:fb with a destination IP address of 224.0.0.251. The unsolicited message is a DNS response with source port 32784, transaction ID 0, flags 0x8400 (standard query response, no error), questions 0, answer RRs 2, authority RRs 0 and additional RRs 1. The two answers both relate to the router itself: one has Name Cisco18738.local, type A (host address), class 1 (IN), cache flush true, time to live 1 minute, data length 4, and the address of the router. The other is the reverse of the same address. The additional record is for Cisco18738.local, type NSEC, class IN, cache flush true, time to live 1 minute, data length 5, next domain name Cisco18738.local, RR type A (host address).
When my desktop computer receives these messages it logs an error, for example: "Jun 23 07:39:22 sauterws02 avahi-daemon[1067]: Received response from host 10.146.9.1 with invalid source port 32784 on interface 'eth0.0'" The 10.146.9.1 is the router's IP address. I also see these messages on the wireless link from my laptop.
I suppose the E4200 is generating these DNS messages in a misguided attempt to make sure there is no old information about its name. Is there a way to turn them off? If not, is there a way to report this to Cisco as a bug?
Solved!

1. To contact Linksys, call support.
2. From the internet draft: "Multicast DNS implementations MUST
silently ignore any Multicast DNS Responses they receive where the
source UDP port is not 5353." Your avahi-daemon does not comply with this draft.
Thank you for the reference. For the sake of others who may read this thread, the current draft of multicast DNS is at http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns-14.txt.
Here is the whole paragraph from which you quoted, from section 6 (Responding): "The source UDP port in all Multicast DNS Responses MUST be 5353 (the well-known port assigned to mDNS). Multicast DNS implementations MUST silently ignore any Multicast DNS Responses they receive where the source UDP port is not 5353."
Thus, it appears that there are two errors here: the Cisco E4200 is not using 5353 as the source port, and the logger is not silently ignoring it.
The message appears to be an announcement rather than an actual response to a query. In section 8.3 (Announcing) I found this paragraph: "A Multicast DNS Responder MUST NOT send announcements in the absence of information that its network connectivity may have changed in some relevant way. In particular, a Multicast DNS Responder MUST NOT send regular periodic announcements as a matter of course." Thus, it appears that there are three errors here.

With out source system creation we have transported all the flow

Hi all,
With out source system creation in Quality we have transported all the data flow
now is there any option to map the source system to transported flow.
Regards
Kiran Kumar

Hi,
you can reimport the same TR again once the mapping is done in BW from source system.
If you have left the TR's in the import queue of BW for later import then you can reimport it again.
This will go correctly.
In qualtiy to do the mappings you will need development authorization.
Thanks

BEx Integration with different source systems

Hi All
I know we can create BEx querys on top of an infoprovider. But instead of storing data into BW and creating reports using BEx tools can we integrate BEx with the other source systems. Like Business Objects tool which can be integrated with different sources. My client wants to know whether we can integrate with BEx for the following
Support data source -- SAP BW
Support data source -- Oracle
Support data source -- MS SQL Server
Support data source -- MS Access
Support data source -- MS Excel
Support data source -- ASCII Text files
Support data source -- XML/XSD
Support data source -- Web Services
Support data source -- SAP R/3
Support data source -- BO Universe
Thanks for letting me know your opinions

Hi,
in theory you can. You will still have a virtual provider on top of your Infosource which will be connected to your datasource; thus you'll have to create the structures; you'll have to load master data as well... so not so nice solution if you think that at this stage, the storage will be the less of your costs....
How are you going to deal with R/3 data?? I mean a great advantage of BW is really when you have an R/3 behind...
I'd rather consolidate all these disparate datasources using the Visual compsoer which can get this data out of nearly an datasource and merge them in one single report; in theory again you could implement all BEx functionalities but at which cost and effort??
Weird that a customer is asking such a question because it is usually the other way around: use SAP BW data in another front-end... by the way SAP is going to acquire BO soon....
hope this helps...

While installing the CS6 Apps through CC Subscription, what should I do with my old CS4 App

While installing the CS6 Apps through Creative Cloud Subscription, what should I do with my old CS4 Apps still in my Apps folder?
After installing my first 2, Ai and ID, I check the Application Folder and both the newly installed CS6 and my old CS4 versions of each App are in the folder.
Do I just throw away into the trash the CS4 versions? If so, will all my created data files remain intact?
Someone please respond and help, rather than just viewing this, as the many views listed show. Thanks!

Uninstall the CS4 versions properly using the uninstallers that come with them (aliases are in each of the apps' directories). Beyond that it works as it should - newer versions always leave older ones in place. Whether or not you will be able to open all your CS4 files in CS6 we cannot know - yes, newer versions should open older files, but you may be using specific stuff that limits compatibility like certain plug-ins that would need to be upgraded for CS6 as well. For that exact reason you may wanna keep CS4 around a while longer until you can be sure...
