Little Help For the New Bee

Hello,
though I work a lot with FCP and all the other pro applications, I have never been in a professional enough environment to have to use Compressor. I have a file that is an MPEG 4 Movie. Dimensions: 720X304. I just need to be able to put it into Final Cut Pro and edit with the best quality. How do I go about converting? I messed around with it for a while, but with no success. It seems very straight foward, but I think I am missing something. Please help if you can.
thanks,
Toolius

Hey Toolius
if i am reading this information correctly, this file's codec is a mpeg, but with AAC audio. are you SURE that you didnt leave out the 4 in mpeg4???
what is the extension of the file, *.mov, *.mp4?
if you want to edit in FCP, then all you have to do is a simple transcode to the file.
seems like you have a widescreen 16:9 (maybe 1.85 or 2.35) file.
you can do this transcode in one of two ways, via QT Pro itself, or Mpegstreamclip.
would you want to keep your video as 16:9 or 4:3?
if you want it 16:9 you have 2 options, 720x480 anamorphic or 960x540 (this is for 16:9, 1.78 FF, so yo will still have mattes).
if you want it 4:3 then you can use 720x480.
the only thing with all this is that your footage is compressed, so try to keep it as lossless as possible throughtout the whole process, like that, you minimize cascade compression (basically compressing the already compressed footage).
make sure that you also keep in mind your codec sequence, like that, you will NOT have to render this footage!~

    Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.
    Currently I have an original AppleTV with audio RCA plugs to mini plug into my BOSE speakers.
    The 2nd Gen AppleTv has a Toslink input. I've looked at cables of Toslink to optical mini. Will this cable work? The optical mini part I'm not sure of what it is.
    Thanks so much. The monitor I use doesn't have speakers.
    This is the cable I see at Amazon

    If I understand your question correctly, you want to connect your Apple TV2 to your Bose system using a mini plug.
    You will need an optical to digital coax RCA converter (find it on Ebay about $15), then you can connect your mini cable. Here is a link to one I recently bought on Ebay: http://fwd4.me/nrQ

  • Exch2k7 to Exch2k10 - SSL 'request' help for the new server

    Hi,
    after read the article 'http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638158.aspx', we already have MBX and CAS 2007 running the lastest spk version and the SSL on the CAS 2007 is already working as 'LEGACY.DOMAIN.COM.BR' + 'Autodiscover.domain.com.br'
    + 'mail.domain.com.br'.
    My question is regarding the SSL request for the new server:
    >>> Can I start the REQUEST for the external Certification Authority using Windows Powershell or IIS console instead to use 'Exchange Management Shell'??
    * I´m afraid about the time (days) to install CAS 2010 on the new server, start the request to the CA, do the internal steps to aprove, pay the tax, wait for generation and then install the new SSL on the new server...

    Hi,
    Based on my research, we can use IIS renew the certificate for IIS:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/228991
    And Windows power shell can help us to create certificate request:

  • Help for the new user

    Apologies for the fairly basic nature of these questions, normally I would just head into an Apple Store and get some assistance. Unfortunately I am in the middle of nowhere without a reliable internet connection and want to back up my Macbook.
    Any help would be appreciated;
    1. I intend to grab a 500gb Time Capsule and back up over an ethernet cable, I do not have an internet connection that I can link the time capsule into at the moment - will there be any issues???
    2. Does time capsule backup via bluetooth (sorry if that is a dumb question I dont know much about bluetooth)??
    3. When I head home, will the time capasule easily intergrate into my wifi network?? and
    4. Is there a way I can update the software in the time capsule if required, through my Macbook - without having the time capsule connected to the internet??
    Cheers

    Hello CON960. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    1. I intend to grab a 500gb Time Capsule and back up over an ethernet cable, I do not have an internet connection that I can link the time capsule into at the moment - will there be any issues???
    The Time Capsule (TC) does not require an Internet connection in order to be the destination for backups from your MacBook (MB). Your MB can perform these backups while connected either by wire or wirelessly to the TC.
    2. Does time capsule backup via bluetooth (sorry if that is a dumb question I dont know much about bluetooth)??
    No. There are no provisions on any of the AirPorts, including the TC, for Bluetooth.
    3. When I head home, will the time capasule easily intergrate into my wifi network??
    Not knowing exactly what your home Wi-Fi network consists of, it would be hard to say, but the TC is capable of integrating with most existing wired or wireless routers.
    4. Is there a way I can update the software in the time capsule if required, through my Macbook - without having the time capsule connected to the internet??
    Sorry. Not that I'm aware of.

  • Little help for the beginer

    when I try to compile this program
    import java.applet.Applet;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class OnnurTilraun extends Applet
         TextField t1, t2;
         Button b1;
         Label a1;
         public void init()
              t1 = new TextField(20);
              t2 = new TextField(20);
              b1 = new Button("Heilsa");
              a1 = new Label("Nafn:");
              this.add(a1);
              this.add(t1);
              this.add(b1);
              this.add(t2);
         public boolean action(Event e, Object o)
              if (e.target == b1)
                   t2.setText("Good day" + t1.getText());
                   return true;
              return false;
    I get this message(Note: "Filename".java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
    Note: Recompile with -deprecation for details.
    Tool completed successfully)
    but when I try to run the applet the appletviewer can�t start the applet so I recompile with -deprecation I get this message("filename".java:26: warning: action(java.awt.Event,java.lang.Object) in java.awt.Component has been deprecated
         public boolean action(Event e, Object o)
    ^
    1 warning
    Tool completed successfully)
    What to do, I don�t know so I asking you

    The warning message you get about deprecation is a warning and not a fatal error, and you may ignore it. It means that you use code that is considered "outdated", and that may (or may not) be discontinued in some future JVM. It is probably not the reason you can't run the applet. The reason appletviewer won't start the applet is hard to know without knowing what error message you get, but a wild guess is that there is some minor error in html file you use to start the applet
    If you don't want to ignore the deprecation warning, do the rewrite virum suggested. As for the problem with "cannot resolve symbol", you need to import the ActionEvent class. Add
    import java.awt.event.*;together with your other import statements.

  • Hi, please help me , i get notification about a new update for my iPad when I do the instal for the new version it is asking me for a passcode but which passcode may I have to enter? Because when I enter my gmail passcode it is call me that my pass fail

    The passcode you need to enter is the passcode you set on your device. It is the passcode that you enter when you turn on your iPad or awaken it from sleep after and Auto lock.
    If you do not know or remember your password and did not store it somewhere then you will have to restore your device.

  • I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

    I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

    If you are talking about Safari on the iPad, there is no version of Adobe Flash for iOS and there never has been. Clear Safari, close the app and reset the iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If you are talking about Safari on your Mac, you are in the wrong forum. But I would still clear the cache, quit Safari and restart the Mac.

  • Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium

    +Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium< A few questions here.
    st question? Im using opt out port on the xfi ti. card and using digital li've on a windows 7 64 bit system,? I would like to know why when i use 5. or 7. and i check to make sure each speakear is working the rear speakers wont sound off but the sr and sl will in replace of the rear speakers. I did a test tone on my sony amp and the speaker are wired correctly becasue the rear speakers and the surrond? left and right sound off when they suppose too. Also when i try to click on? the sl and sr in the sound blaster control panel they dont work but if i click on the rear speakers in the control panel the sl and sr sound off. Do anyone know how i can fix this? So i would like to know why my sl and sr act like rears when they are not?
    2nd question? How do i control the volume from my keyboard or from windows period when using opt out i was able to do so with my on board? sound max audio using spidf? Now i can only control the audio using the sony receiver.
    Thank you for any help..

    I'm unsure about the first question. Do you even have a 7. system and receiver? If you just have 5., you should be able to remap the audio in the THX console.
    I do have a sony 7. reciever str de-995 its an older one but its only for my cpu. At first i didnt even have THX installed because it didnt come with the driver package for some reason until i downloaded the daniel_k support drivers and installed it. But it doesnt help in anyway.
    I have checked every where regarding the first question and alot of people are having problems getting sound out of there rear channels and the sound being re-mapped to the surround right and the surround left as if there rear left and rear right.
    I read somewhere that the daniel_k support drivers would fix this but it didnt for me and many others.
    For the second question i assumed it would be becasue of the spidf pass through and that my onboard sound card was inferior to the xfi titaniums. But i wasnt sure and i was hopeing that someone would have a solution for that problem because i miss controlling the volume with my keyboard.

  • Does anyone know of a suitable dock for the new iPad Air?

    After purchasing a new iPad Air on Friday, I searched for a charging/syncing dock from Apple.  There are none!  Then, I searched the Internet for 3 days, and the choices are few. 
    Does anyone know of a good and sturdy dock for the new iPad Air?  I have very little desk space and always buy an Apple dock for my iPhones and iPads.
    Is it possible that the dock for the iPad 4 could be used for the new iPad Air?  Currently, I have an iPad Third Generation and its own dock, which is 30 pins.  The available 8 pin adapter is not sturdy enough to put an iPad Air on.
    For my iPhone 5, I have a Twelve South High Rise dock (because of the case), but it won't do for an iPad. 
    Any ideas?

    This isn't going to be super helpful because I don't know of any by name, but have you looked through App Store? I am almost positive you will come across at least one in there. This assumes you are running software version 2.0.

    If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
    the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
    would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
    for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
    the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
    system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
    that system.
    Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
    the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
    Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
    to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
    even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
    If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can i exchange for the new design

    Last year my sister purchased a ipod shuffle 3rd gen, for my 10 yr old daughter. She bought it from Target and spent $145.00 at that time. Shortly there after i became aware apple had replace this 3rd gen shuffle with a new design. One that is more user friendly, especially for my 10 yr old. I have to say we have been very disappoint with her ipod for several reasons.
    1. there is no face so you cant see what your doing
    2. you must memorize the amount of clicks in order to operate it.
    3. we have only been able to upload new music to her ipod once since she got it a year ago. Even with online tech support,reading online forums,owner manuals, help from family and friends. To no avail.
    She has it still in the box neatly packed away. Its used as a show piece on her dresser to show that she has an (ipod). Neadless to say she does not use it,does not  like it mainly because there is no display panel which make it very difficult for her to function.
    So how can i exchange/replace the old design ipod shuffle generation 3  for the new design.

    Try disabling your firewall and try again.
