M2v looks good but shows artefacts after build

Hello everybody,
I have a rather strange problem with some mpeg files.
- I exported movies from fcp as DVfiles (footage was also shot in DV)
- I used compressor 3.01 to make MPEG2 m2v's
- with 2pass VBR and 6.9 MBit/s
- I am using ac3 audio with 384kHz (5.1)
The footage looks good in DVSP
The footage looks good in QT (7.2.0) and any other "player" on the MAC
BUT
it has some more or less bad looking blocks / artefacts showing after I built the project and watch it with the apple dvd player.
What am i missing here?
Thanks for any advice!
Timo

Hello, yes I am playing it at normal size. No fullscreen.
It really seems to be an "Apple DVD Player" problem, i tried with and without de-interlacing, removing all sorts of quicktime components (because i thought sth might interrupt the playback) and such but it is still the same.
(But it looks good on TV and -I hardly dare to say it- a fairly old windows laptop)
Well. maybe someone is more into the tech stuff and knows something else.
Thanks a lot for your help anyway.
Cheers,
T.

GL looks good but not in Fixed assets- Is there a process we can review or
find more information on it

Hi,
I am pasting my comments next to yours :
These are the issues that needs to be resolved:
• Depreciated balance are over stated in Fixed Assets and needs to be adjusted to reflect what is in GL. => I wasn't sure how this was was possible, since I assumed that your Asset depreciation journals in GL were being fed from FA. So if depreciation was thought to be incorrect in FA, its corresponding balance in GL should've been incorrect as well. But I guess that's not the case because your other questions imply that some of these assets were acquired and their might have been some conversion activity involved.
• Fixed Assets mass additions are selecting GL accounts that should not be selected. We need to know how to change the criteria for selection. +=> Check the Asset Clearing and CIP clearing accounts on your asset categories+
Later:
• We need to learn the proper way to convert assets we acquired from acquisition into our Oracle Fixed Assets system, so that depreciation start at the time we acquire the assets. => That is correct, you could change your original date placed in service to the acquisition date as part of conversion and if you have the correct prorate convention, they should depreciate the way you want it to.

Trying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.

rying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running? You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:
Printer Driver v9.33
Epson Stylus Pro 3880, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:

I successfully downloaded Lightroom CC. everything looks good, but it will not open. The circle spins about 2 times and then it just stops and I get nothing. I uninstalled and restarted my computer. I downloaded again. Same problem

Have you tried logging out of your CC desktop app, then logging back in again? Quit/Restart won't work, but logging out and back in should. See here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

Acrobat 11 install looks good but doesn't work (Adobe Reader has stopped working)

Win 7 64-bit laptop. Download/install from Adobe site looks fine, but can't successfully open existing PDF file. Page one of the PDF appears, but then error message above with the following text appears: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program a notify you if a solution is available. Previous release of Reader all worked fine. Recently installed Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X and Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin. I think (but could be wrong) that Reader XI was fine before this.
Clearly this is a show-stopper issue re: my use of Reader. Please advice. Thanks!

Some things to try...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

HT4628 all looks good but I keep getting "a connection timeout occurred"

Driving me crazy! I did the zap of PRAM recommended - 2x but to no avail. Will try again.
Tech support for the ISP has said all looks good and that it's a problem with my computer.
I guess I will head to the library to see if I can get online there - to see if it's just this wifi.
Any other ideas??? Please ........
I'm desperate!

Guitar & bass plugins with LP8 - several look good, but which to choose?

I record a lot of guitar & bass parts in a range of styles. Rather then continue to lug hardware around and record parts 'wet', I'm keen on getting a plug-in system for guitar and bass so I can record 'dry' and then experiment with different effects, amps etc in Logic.
Looking at the various options, NI Guitar Rig 3, IK Multimedia Amplitude (and Ampeg SVX) and the Line6 Gearbox Gold bundle all seem to do what I want.
But which to choose? I know that preferences will largely be subjective, but I would be grateful to hear from users of any and all of these systems to hear their views.
Which has the best array of sounds? The best sound quality? Do any of them use vast amounts of processing power and - most importantly - do any of thsm suffer from major latency problems when software monitoring?
All thoughts will be gratefully received to help me make a considered judgement on which to choose!
Thanks

I have all the ones you've mentioned except the Line 6.
They all can sound equally good (or equally bad, depending on how much you've used real amps!) and seem to react about the same as far as latency is concerned.
The Logic Gtr amp can get some great sounds, although all of the amp models vary widely in tone and volume, so you really have to tweak. It's the easiest by far on the cpu.
The Ampeg SVX is killer on bass. Much better than the gtr amp sims are on gtr.
But with all of the IK Multimedia products I get a terrible buffer burp at the beginning of tracks.
It's like it won't clear the buffer from the previous pass until you burp it by quickly looping the first few blank bars before the track starts. I get this with T-Racks, Amplitube and SVX.
Guitar Rig 3 has the most toys to play with.
Pull up some of the Logic presets and see how they are using the Distortion plugins before the amp.
Turn off the limiters and gates. You also have a very wide range of colors to choose from with Logic's native plugs.
If you have to use plugins, then whatever you do, don't go back and forth between real tube amps and pedals. It's much easier that way to convince yourself that you almost have real tone.

VIdeo files: can't export, can't drag, look good but really jpgs

Hi folks,
I've seen various versions of this issue before, but I'm stumped at this point.
I have lots of video clips in my Iphoto library (9 - on my MacBook Pro 10.6.6) taken about a month and a half ago.
Lots of them were already converted into IMovies. I had planned to do some more - but lo and behold, I can't access them.
Them look fine - roll over them and they are still indicating "movie" and also length of clip.
But when I click on them to play them (as I had done previously) - nothing.
When I try to drag them out of the IPhoto - gray circle and diagonal bar, i.e., no chance.
When I try to export them (in original) - unable to create.
When I export them as "current", they look like regular movie files with an .mp4 suffix. But they don't work and they're only a few hundred KBs.
They seem, in essence, to be just jpg stills at this point.
I don't understand why this is happening all of a sudden. There are some cherished videos in there, and also some work-related.
I'll take any workaround whatsoever.
They seem to be jpgs in both the "originals" file and the "modified" file.
Yet they are video clips I had not even touched.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

They seem to be jpgs in both the "originals" file and the "modified" file.
I'm afraid that's the issue there. In the Originals file they should be movies. If they are not there's no movie there. I would guess an issue importing.

Podcast feed looks good, but mp3's aren't downloading -- Error 8006

I'm ready to upload my first podcast to the iTunes Store, but before I did, I checked my feed by manually subscribing to the url. When I did, I got the correct name of my podcast, names of my episodes, running times, descriptions, and descriptions. However, when I tried to download one of the episodes, it just gave me a little exclamation point to the left of the episode. When I click on the exclamation point, I get the following error message:
"There was a problem downloading [podcast episode name]. An unknown error occurred (8006).
"Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again."
Needless to say, the URL was correct and I my connection was fine. Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!

Nevermind, I figured it out myself. Thanks.
It was a libsyn thing. My podcast media file should have been directed at media.libsyn.com directory, not the content delivery networks (cdn3.libsyn.com). See this site for more details: http://podcast-you.blogspot.com/2008/05/podcasters-digest-number-3477.html

Cs3 preview looks good but won't display some pictures online.

Using cs3. My pages work fine in display but some .gif and .jpeg won't display once published. Same in ie and mozilla. http://www.cinnamonridgehomes.com/homeplans.html Any ideas?

There should be 10 plans listed with pics on each. I am only seeing 4 pics though all the plan names are there. Same result on 3 different computers. Are you seeing something different?

HT1277 i have recently bought a macbook pro and all looks good but ...

small problem with sent mail. Previously i had windows PC with mail through Yahoo. With an apple iphone i could send/recieve mail and sent mail (in particular) would sync on all devices - my guess is via yahoo. Hovever, on the new macbook it seems that the sent mail is saved only to the macbook and not to yahoo so i cannot see my sent mail from any other device.
Any ideas how i can fix this would be appreciated.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect; status bar looks good. But audio always comes out the speaker. Thx.

Should my iPhone 1 (iOS 3.1.3) with Bluetooth 2.0 (Handset HSP?) work with wireless earbuds with BT 4.0 and the Headset (and Handsfree, A2DP, AVRCP) protocol? They pair and connect as expected (with a PIN); status bar looks good and shows Bluetooth active, and I even see the iPhone displays the battery levels of the wireless earbuds. But audio always comes out the speaker. (If I plug in wired headphones into the headphone jack then audio comes into the wired headphones, as expected.) I have rebooted the iPhone; I have had it forget about the wireless earbuds, and repaired and reconnected; I have reset all network settings. Thx in advance.
PS: I understand that more recent versions of iOS have a way to choose where audio output goes (speaker, headphone jack, Bluetooth device). Does this older version of iOS? I could not find an option or setting.

I've noticed this lately as well, with my iPhone 4. I couldn't confidently pin it directly on any particular iOS update, but my iPhone used to automatically connect up via Bluetooth with my Prius's handsfree feature, and now it doesn't. I work with a CE-based device at my job, with Bluetooth capability, and I used to test out that feature by having it discover my iPhone. This no longer works either.
What I have found (not really a solution, but it does work and may be a clue for Apple) is that if I simply go to the Settings app then the General -> Bluetooth screen and let it sit there, it will pair right up with my car within a few seconds. Bluetooth is always on, and always says "Now Discoverable" at the bottom of the settings screen.

Video looks good in PR but bad when exported

Hello. I hope someone can help me out here. I am doing color corrections in Premiere Pro and it looks good but when I export it, the colors are not as saturated (it needs more color). Do any of you know the reasons why and how I can fix this?
I read that my laptop might need to be calibrated is that true? Is there another way? How do I calibrate it?!!
Please help me. Thanks in advance.

like television and also the theater screen, but I know the theater screen is calibrated so I guess my video needs to be calibrated?
i think thats what the others are getting at.
if on your computer, premiere and vlc and quicktime all look the same there is no problem with premiere.
if your video on your computer looks different than another screen or tv, then its calibration.
you can adjust the saturation on your computer until it looks as dull as the calibrated theater screen, then you should have closer matching displays. in windows you may find a control for you video card, in mac im not sure. then you can adjust saturation in premiere to your clips/timeline.
if you dont want to change your saturation for your laptop, you could use an adjustment layer above the footage and reduce saturation to match the calibrated theater screen. then go back and boost the saturation on clips or previous adjustment layer... once happy with saturation that way, disable the adjustment layer with the reduced saturation for export.

1080i video looks good on iMac but not on small movie screen

I have a 1080i video that I exported as a default 1440 x 1080 @ 59.94 fps. If I play the video on my iMac, which is 1920x1080, it looks good, but when I play it on a smaller movie screen you can really see the interlacing. I tried highlighting all my film on the primary timeline, going to Info --> Settings View from the dropdown box at the bottom, and then setting:
Roles: Video & Dialogue
Timecode Display: Drop Frame
Alpha Handling: None/Ignore Alpha
Field Dominance Override: Lower First
When I export and play that it looks pretty much the same, if not worse. I'm thinking that Drop Frame probably isn't good, but it still has the interlaced look.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

How'd you do that?
I just imported it from the camera. Again, I messed up earlier as it originally imported at 29.97.
How'd you do that? What format is your media exactly? Codec and complete specs.
Codecs: H.264, Linear PCM
Frame Size: 1440 × 1080
Video Frame Rate: 29.97
Video Field Dominance: Upper
Well, that's interesting. I didn't realize it told me what the Field Dominance is. Now I know not to use Lower.
Why should I not change the Field Dominance? Also, I was reading another post where a guy tried copying his videos from one project, 1080i, to another project, 1080p, and he was not successful. Have you tried this or heard of anyone being successful doing this? Thanks.
