MPEG-2 encoding problems

I am having a problem with compressor and dvd studio pro, not really sure if it's one or the other. I have been exporting MPEG-2 through compressor straight from the timeline (I know compressor has problems using the QT Reference files) and although it has been working, recently it has been losing frames from both the mpg-2 and the ac3. It's usually 7 frames short in video and a second short in the audio, but it varies each time I compress. Although this file does play in QT and on the desktop, when it is in DVD studio it wont play any video, it just shows a green screen and plays the audio really low. Any suggestions, or insight on what might be wrong?

The m2v video is made up of GOPs (Group of Pictures). Each one consists of 15 frames, depending on the actual format used, where only the first frame has all the pixels; the I-Frame. The rest only contain the changes from the I-Frame. FinalCut cannot edit between I-Frames, unless it has all the information from the last I-Frame. Otherwise, most of the current frame would simply contain no data. At the end of the clip. I think FinalCut tries to end at the I-Frame, so that there's not a hanging handful of frames without complete data. I also think there might be a toggle for this in the preferences.
That's what I think and I'm sticking with it.

MPEG-2 Encoding Problem

Hello. I apologize in advance if this topic has been discussed elsewhere or previously...I searched quite a bit without finding an answer.
I create videos that need to fill a screen that is 6x8 feet. I use FCE NTSC/DV 4:3 project and export settings and most of my videos contain imported images and After Effects movies. I export sequences to QuickTime movie via EXPORT/Export Using QT Conversion.
The presentation software I use to display my movies doesn't support .MOV files, so I use Adobe Media Encoder (CS4) to encode to MPEG-2.
**The problem is that the MPEG movies always encode to 640x480 and doesn't fill my 6x8foot screen. I know this has something to do with square/non-square pixels but I just can't find a clear answer anywhere.
My goal is to have my videos fill the screen fully. Thanks in advance for your help.

Sorry about that, it is an 8'x6' screen. The video image is wide enough to fill the screen, but not high enough, i.e. there is a small amount of horizontal black on top and bottom of the projected video.
We use a ceiling mounted SD projector, and the throw distance is correct (the other images and videos we use fill the screen normally). The projector is set to 4:3 and it's native resolution is 1024x768. We use presentation software which is run from a Windows desktop via VGA.
Thanks for your thoughts.

AME CC MPEG-2 DVD Encode Problems

Having an issue with MPEG-2 DVD exports using CBR instead of VBR. I've always used CBR before with no problems at all. Now, when I export with CBR (actual bitrate doesn't matter), I get this weird pulsing artifacting in the video. It doesn't do it in VBR, but I'm not altogether happy with how crossfades turn out with VBR (lots of blocking).
I'm using the latest versions of Premiere CC and AME CC. The source video files I'm converting are Quicktime ProRes 422LT files at 1920x1080 23.97. I'm on an iMac running Mavericks - 3.5ghz i7 32gb RAM with NVIDIA GTS 780M with 4gb video RAM.
Any ideas or help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
-Edwin

I'm getting something similar with HD MPEG-2 encodes in PPCC and AMECC. I've got a couple of broadcast outlets that specify 29.97fps 20mbps CBR MPEG-2, one in 1080p and one in 1080i. Any time I encode in CBR, I get that weird kind of pulsing. I've tried it with automatic GOP placement on and off, doesn't seem to make a difference. The only way I've found to fix it is to (with the stations' blessing) encode as VBR MPEG-2.

Flash 8 Video Encoder problems

I used Video Encoder to convert a .mpg file. When I imported
it into Flash the audio plays but no picture. I then used IMtoo
MPEG 3 encoder to convert it to an MPEG file. This time I got
picture and audio but the picture and audio were very choppy.
Does anyone have a clue why? Or perhaps suggest another app
that will convert the file to another format that I would have
better success converting to .flv without degradation?
THANKS!

converting some other video clips that I have and they all worked
-- so I don't think it is the Flash player.
However, when I received the .MGP file (that I uploaded to
you) from a vendor (who videos for a speaker's bureau) and
converted it to a FLV file using Video Encoder 8. and then renamed
it to motif_200kbps.flv in order to have it play in the video
player template that I uploaded to you.... I got sound, but no
video. Regarding posting the video file that I uploaded to you, I
am unsure of the consequences of that ... so perhaps I will email
the file to Jeckyl.
Now I am really confused, because the file
"motif_200kbps.flv" works fine for me - video and sound are there.
Are you using Flash Player 8 or 9 to view the final SWF? If you are
using Flash player 7 then there is your problem.

Encoding problems in email while on Windows Mail app

Hello.
I have a question concerning email and encoding problems in the Windows Mail App in Windows 8.1. I have encountered a problem with an email I received, while reading, I see strange ASCII characters in one email. I have never encountered it in
my web browsers nor Gmail, just the Mail App.
I was referred to come here when I had asked a similar question there:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-ecoms/strange-foreign-ascii-characters-appearing-in/911f8a44-c302-4fa1-bcaa-3297b32d9120
I don't know which forum to go to so I picked here.
Is there any way that it can be resolved. I tried to troubleshoot, nothing worked; I even synched, to no avail.
I look forward to a response.
JB

Hi JB,
The responder on answers was a bit confused. The MSDN forums are for developers to discuss writing their own apps. We cannot help with problems using Windows or its built-in apps.
If the folks on answers cannot help then you may need to open a support incident. See
http://support.microsoft.com , or the folks on answers may be able to direct you to the specific page for the Windows Mail app.

Encoding problem while reading binary data from MQ-series

Dear all,
we are running on 7.0 and we have an encoding problem while reading binary data from MQ-series. Because we are getting flat strings from queue we use module "Plain2ML" (MessageTransformBean) for wrapping xml-elements around the incoming data.
The MQ-Series-Server is using CCSID 850, which we configured in connection parameters in communication channel (both parameters for Queuemanager CCSID and also CCSID of target).If there are special characters in the message (which HEX-values differ from codepage to codepage) we get errors in our adapter while executing, please see stack-trace for further analysis below.
It seems to us that
1. method ByteToCharUTF8.convert() expects UTF-8 in binary data
2. Both CCSID parameters are not used anyway in JMS-adapter
How can we solve this problem without changing anything on MQ-site?
Here is the stack-trace:

Any ideas?
Kind regards, Stefan

Hi Stefan,
for the first MTB now we are using only one parameter: Transform.ContentType = text/plain;charset="ISO-8859-1"
The second MTB, which does the XML-Wrapping, is configured like this:
Transform.Class = com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
Transform.ContentType = application/xml
xml.conversionType = SimplePlain2XML
xml.fieldNames = value
xml.fieldSeparator = §%zulu§%
xml.processFieldNames = fromConfiguration
xml.structureTitle = payload
Both CCSID configuration parameters from the "Source"-Tab we've set to 850.
Now, we don't get an error anymore - sun.io.malformedInputException - , but, unfortunately, now special character conversion succeeded (we need an "ß" and we get an ISO-HEX-E1 -> á). E1 is (different from ISO) an "ß" in 850.
Any ideas?

Encoding problem in call-back to hook URL (post parameters)

Hello all,
I'm encountering a character encoding problem while retrieving the content of the shopping basket from one of our provider.
After the POST request is made by the provider to our system using the hook url, when debbuging I can see that some special characters are represented with the sign '#' (after the call the ITS_IMPORT_CONTEXT).
In our case using the parameter http_content_charset with various values, including UTF-8, did not change the result.
Inspecting the HTTP traffic has highlighted the following: the encoding received from the provider is related to UTF-8, but while we are expecting the hexadecimal values, we are receiving the "Unicode code points", which are not recognized by our SAP system. For more details look at the UTF-8 encoding table found here and compare the values under column "Unicode code point" with the one under column "UTF-8 (hex.)".
As an example, for the character 'é', we are receiving the value "%E9" (the code point) instead of receiving the the hexa value : "%C3%A9".
Do you have any idee if this can be corrected on our side or if the provider must addapt the way it's sending the POST parameters?
Many thanks in advance for you help.
Best regards,
Jerome.

Hi Jason,
Indeed I had contacted the provider and informed them about the encoding problem and the fact that passing the parameter http_content_charset had no effect on the sent back encoding.
They have taken into account my request and have changed the encoding used during the request to the HOOK_URL.
Thanks to all of your for your help.

Jerome.

Character encoding problem using XSLT and Tomcat on Linux

Hi,
I have an application running on a Tomcat 4.1.18 application server that applies XSLT transformations to DOM objects using standard calls to javax.xml.transform API. The JDK is J2SE 1.4.1_01.
It is all OK while running on a development enviroment (which is Windows NT 4.0 work station), but when I put it in the production enviroment (which is a red hat linux 8.0), it comes up with some kind of encoding problem: the extended characters (in spanish) are not shown as they should.
The XSL stylesheets are using the ISO-8859-1 encoding, but I have also tried with UTF-8.
These stylesheets are dynamicly generated from a JSP:
// opens a connection to a JSP that generates the XSL
URLConnection urlConn = (new URL( xxxxxx )).openConnection();
Reader readerJsp = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader( urlConn.getInputStream() ));
// Gets the object that represents the XSL
Templates translet = tFactory.newTemplates( new StreamSource( readerJsp ));
Transformer transformer = translet.newTransformer();
// applies transformations
// the output is sent to the HttpServletResponse's outputStream object
transformer.transform(myDOMObject, new StreamResult(response.getOutputStream()) );Any help would be appreciated.

Probably you need to set your LANG OS especific environment variable to spanish.
Try adding this line:
export LANG=es_ES
to your tomcat/bin/catalina.sh, and restart tomcat.
It should look like this:
# OS specific support. $var _must_ be set to either true or false.
cygwin=false
case "`uname`" in
CYGWIN*) cygwin=true;;
esac
export LANG=es_ES
# resolve links - $0 may be a softlink
PRG="$0"
.(BTW, keep using ISO-8859-1 encoding for your XSL)
HTH
Un Saludo!

C# GWTypeLibrary - AddressBook Entry encoding problem

Hello.
I am using C#(Visual Studio 2005) and GroupWareTypeLibrary to develop for
GroupWise Client 7.0.
Working with AddressBook I have faced some problems.
I am getting display name (AddressBookEntry.DisplayName) for all entries
of AddressBook. Almost all DisplayNames are correct but there are some
problems with two or three of them (there are some illegal char displayed
instead of some char of real user DisplayName). I think it is local
encoding problem bekause I see the same problem with the same users in
GroupWise Client AddressBook.
I thought display name is building not correctly but when I tried to get
these users first and last name I have got the same problem with encoding
in them.
Please advice how to decide this problem.
Regards,
Alex.

Sounds like a GW Client problem and not an API problem if you see it in the client address book. Technical Support should be able to help you.

Encoding Problems with WRT300N V2

Hello guys,
i have following problem:
I have a WRT300n Router and it seems to have problems with WPA2 encoding. I have 2 different deviceses (a SMC Ethernet Bridge and a PS3) trying to connect to my Linksys wireless router. No chance in WPA2 mode but when I try in WEP-Mode, both devicec can connect to it.
Are there known encoding problems?
Any idea what i can do?

It is able to use. But my router always drops the connection. WEP is no problem, but ... what about low security and Wirless N is not enabled ??

Encoding problem (via ORB)

Hello,
I posted this problem few months ago, but still havent been able to solve this.
I have a Client Server program which communicates via ORB, i.e. using CORBA, with server running on Solaris OS and Client running on windows.
The server returns string containing chinese characters to the client.
However, my chinese characters dont appear properly on the client side.
If i run the client on the Solaris OS there is no problem with it.
I tried converting the encode of the string by getting its byte and creating
a new string with encoding parameter. None of this seems to work.
I can see the chinese character when the server is writing to OutputStream of CORBA, but on the InputStream of CORBA it does not
show properly.
Any ideas on how i can overcome this encoding problem where the C/S is
communicating via CORBA (ORB)?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply
Yes, i know the BIG5 is for Traditional Chinese and japansese is using like Shift-JIS or EUC.
So when i try to post japanese in a BIg5 web page, i think it's normal that i can't see it in BIG5 encoding.
But then i change the Safari default decoding to BIG5 HKSCS, the japanese appers! At the same time i can see the traditional chinese too!
And if i use Firefox, i can both see the japanese and chinese at the default BIG5 encoding.
So i simple think maybe safari translate my japanese into BIG5 HKSCS,not Shift-JIS. But if i use Firefox, i can get the same result with only BIG5 encoding, not BIG5 HKSCS. So i am just wondering why it's different between Safari and Firefox with the same BIG5 encoding.
Following is a example URL
It's a MAC discussing froum with BIG5 encoding in Taiwan.
http://ubb.frostyplace.com.tw/viewtopic.php?t=19162
It's a froum topic posted by me. I input some japanese into this topic
If you browse this page with Safari BIG5 encoding, you can see a lot of question mark instead of the original japanese word that i and other people posted.
But if you change the encoding to BIG5 HKSCS, the japanese appears. And if you using Firefox with BIG5 encoding, the japanese appears too.
So is it someing wrong with Safari's BIG5 encoding or some other reason makes this happen?

View Object Encoding problem

I'm using Jdeveloper version 11.1.2.1. I have a encoding problem when creating View Object based on a query. This is my query:
select id, DECODE(id,'11','Индивидуално,'13','Semejno','14','Grupno') naziv
from ins_type
where class_id = '14' and id in ('11', '13', '14')
It is a simple LOV query with cyrilic letters. When I save the ViewObject and re-open it im getting question marks(???????) instead of the cyrilic letters. This only happens in the view object. I dont have other encoding issues when working with cyrilic letters only when im trying to build a View Object based on a query that has cyrilic letters. If i read those values from the database everything is fine
Thanks,

Change the encoding of your application to UTF-8 which appears to be sufficient for cyrilic chars. Here is a quick guide on how to do this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17984_01/doc.898/e14693/appa_configuring_jdev.htm
You may also need to update any pages that have encoding explicitly set

Czech characters encoding problem in RTFTemplate with Velocity engine

Hi,
I am trying to use your RTFTemplate project but I have trouble displaying Czech characters in the generated RTF document. Instead of characters like �čř� I get only questionmarks ????. I thought that this could be related to setting a wrong encoding in the velocity.properties file, so I set it to windows-1250 (support for Czech characters) but it didn�t help. Do you have any idea, what could be the problem? If this is not the right place to ask such question, please let me know about a better one.
Thank you for your time,

Yes, it's an encoding problem. And no, the damagehas
already been done by applying an incorrectencoding.
This cannot be reversed.so there is no solution for this ?Yep you're fucked.
The Ministry of Double Ungood Codings will be coming to collect you shortly so that you might be educated with the double plus good ways.

AC3 audio encoding problems

Have been encoding ac3 without any problems until recently. Now all ac3 encodes just play back as digital "noise", and the problems exists with default as well as modified versions of the standard ac3 preset.
I'm using latest versions of Compressor and Quicktime. Anyone seen this issue and know how to solve? I'm considering reinstalling Compressor, but that seems to entail a complete FCS2 reinstall...

UPDATE: I rebooted my mac using my backup system disk, which has quicktime 7.1.6 installed. I found that under this configuration my ac3 files could be played back. So it's NOT an encoding problem after all. It seems to be a decoding problem. So next up I'll try reinstalling my current version of Quicktime on the main system disk (that's QT 7.2 of course.) If that doesn't work, I'll have to try reverting to Quictime 7.1.6 I guess...
