Multi format disc

I just upgraded to the current version of dvdsp4 from version 3. My first task is to try to build a disc that runs a script as the FIRST PLAY to determine the region code of the player and navigate to the appropriate content. That's easy enough, but the reason for looking at the region is to detemine if it should go to NTSC or PAL content. As I just read in the manual, mixing NTSC and PAL on a disc is "impossible"...
My question is this then: How do I get around this problem? Is there a way around this with multiple VTS segments? 24fps m2v files vis compressor? Has anyone tried putting PAL m2v's in a NTSC timeline? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

My first task is to try to build a disc that runs a script as the FIRST PLAY to determine the region code of the player and navigate to the appropriate content.
And after all, what will you do with multi-region players like my old JVC? What content you will show me? ;D

  • DocFlex/Javadoc 1.5.6, a multi-format doclet development tool and more

    DocFlex/Javadoc is both a multi-format Javadoc Doclet and a rapid doclet development tool, which allows easy creation of professional quality Java API documentation generated by Javadoc in various output formats.

    KEY FEATURES
    Template-driven doclet architecture
    - Actual doclets are created in the form of special templates interpreted by the DocFlex Doclet, which is the template interpreter / output generator wrapped in the form of a Javadoc Doclet.
    - The high quality graphic Template Designer allows you to visually design most of things, whose development was possible so far only by direct Java coding.
    - The templates are designed independently on a particular output format. All formatting is specified in some universal way using properties of template components. During the generation, it is rendered with the suitable features available in the selected output format.
    - The elaborated support of template parameters (including multivalued list parameters). The parameters are defined and accessed within templates to adjust dynamic properties of template components. Most of options previously used to control an ordinary doclet now simply become template parameters!
    - The possibility to call templates from one another. This feature (along with the template parameters) makes possible re-using the same templates for different tasks as well as organizing template libraries.
    Data processing
    - The entire Doclet API is represented in the form of a virtual XML document (called Doclet DSM), on which the designing and processing of all templates is based.
    - Sophisticated capabilities for data querying and sorting based on an extension of XPath.
    - Full support of new Java 5.0 language features: Generic Types, Enums, Annotations.
    - Simultaneous support of Java 1.4 and Java 5.
    Creating hyperlinks
    - Generation of an extensive network of hyperlinks interconnecting the whole documentation.
    - The hyperlinks can be generated in all output formats that support them (this currently includes HTML and RTF).
    - The universal way of defining documentation cross-links based on the link/target keys specified in templates.
    - In RTF, the cross-links can be generated in the form of page number references, which effectively makes them usable even in the printed documentation.
    - In HTML, the possibility of loading several frame windows from a single hyperlink at once.
    Universal support of various formatting techniques
    - text formatting: fonts, colors, borders
    - paragraph formatting: margins, pagination control, borders, colors
    - border formatting: styles (solid, double, dashed, dotted), thickness, colors
    - tables: arbitrary cell layouts, borders, nested tables
    - lists: bulleted, numbered, delimited
    - document fields (RTF): page number, number of pages, TOC, etc.
    - page formatting: size, orientation, margins, headers/footers
    - formatting styles
    - rendering of embedded HTML, which means interpreting in non-HTML output formats (such as RTF) the HTML tags embedded in text data (e.g. documentation comments). Almost all HTML tags practically usable in doc-comments are supported.
    Inserting images
    - statically specified in templates
    - dynamically, obtained by <img> tags found in Java comments
    - supported image formats: GIF, PNG, JPG, WMF, EMF, BMP
    Output formats
    - HTML (both framed multi-file and single-file output)
    - RTF (version 1.6 - supported since Word 2000).
    - TXT (plain text), which may be particularly useful for various utilizations of the Java code information provided by the Doclet API generate XML files by it, or SQL files to import into a database).
    Standard Template Set
    - The ready-to-use Standard Template Set included in all editions of DocFlex/Javadoc allows you to immediately generate:
    (*) The framed HTML Java API documentation similar to that generated by the standard Javadoc.
    (*) The same documentation packed in a single HTML file.
    (*) The unmatched quality RTF JavaDoc.
    - Special features supported by standard templates:
    (*) Excluding classes/methods/fields by custom tags and annotations.
    (*) Selective omitting of package qualifiers.
    (*) Selective documenting of custom tags (similar to -tag option of Standard Doclet).
    - By modifying the standard templates, you can quickly customize the generated documentation according to your needs.
    Doclet GUI
    - Besides command line options, DocFlex Doclet supports an alternative user-friendly way to control the template-based doclets interactively -- the high quality Doclet GUI.
    - The Doclet GUI starts with the Generator Dialog, where you can specify all general settings (such as the main template, the output format and the output directory), start the generation, track its progress and stop at any moment you need.
    - The grid-tree-based Parameter Inspector invoked from the Generator Dialog for a selected template allows you to view the descriptions of all template parameters controlling the doclet and set their values according to the parameter data types.
    - The generator options specific for the selected output format can be set in the corresponding Format Option Inspector (also invoked from the Generator Dialog).
    - Once the generation is finished (or cancelled), you can start it again with different settings or a new main template without restarting the whole Javadoc.
    Integrations
    - With any system that runs Javadoc (in particular, see below)
    - Apache Ant
    - Apache Maven 2
    - Eclipse
    For lots more information, see DocFlex/Javadoc homepage: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_javadoc/]
    AVAILABILITY
    DocFlex/Javadoc comes in two editions:
    (1) The full edition called "DocFlex/Javadoc" as it is. This is commercial software, which includes all the implemented functionality.
    (2) The reduced freeware edition called "DocFlex/Doclet". It includes only the output generator and can be used as an interpretor of any custom templates. It also includes the standard template set, which allows you to instantly use it as an HTML doclet (similar to the standard one, however with some special features) plus an excellent quality RTF doclet.
    Both editions are available for downloads on the page: [http://www.filigris.com/downloads/]
    THIS VERSION
    New features:
    - The template interpretor works 15-20% faster
    - Improvement of RTF output
    - Multi-valued (list) template parameters
    - Custom elements
    - Standard Templates: Selective documenting of custom tags (similar to -tag option of standard doclet)

    WHAT IS DOCFLEX?
    DocFlex is an innovative technology for development of high quality template-driven documentation/report generators by any kind of data obtained from various software applications via the Java APIs they provide.
    MAIN CONCEPTS
    The whole DocFlex technology is based on four generalizations:
    (1) The mapping of an entire Java API onto a virtual XML-like representation made of some elements and attributes so as to process any such a representation in a universal way using techniques borrowed from the field of XML, like XPath (or more precisely, a conceptual analogue of XPath with some extensions not present in it).
    (2) The abstract formatting concept based on four layouts (flow of text, flow of paragraphs or paragraph-like objects, tables and lists), which can be rendered in most modern document formats (e.g. HTML, RTF, XSL-FO etc.)
    (3) The automatic generation of hyperlinks (or their page number reference equivalents) by matching the sets of keys produced from certain natural properties of the things (entities) being documented and hyper-linked.
    (4) The representation of the object controlling structure of the output generator (made on the first three principles) in the form of a plain-text template with a possibility to create and edit such templates using a graphic Template Designer, which visualizes the controlling objects (now becoming template components) in a form resembling the output they will produce.
    OTHER APPLICATIONS
    In fact, DocFlex/Javadoc is not the only application of DocFlex technology. The following is a summary of other DocFlex software:
    DocFlex/XML
    The SDK and runtime environment for rapid development and execution of template-driven automatic documentation/report generators by any data obtained from XML files.
    This is currently the most complex and advanced application of DocFlex technology. Actually, this tool can be considered a powerful alternative to XSLT. At least, it is definitely able to do what XSLT apparently not (for example, see “XSDDoc” below). We will publish a more detailed comparison “DocFlex/XML versus XSLT” with the next DocFlex/XML release, which is coming very soon.
    DocFlex/XML home page: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_xml/]
    DocFlex/XML | XSDDoc
    A template set for DocFlex/XML that implements a high quality W3C XML Schema documentation generator in HTML and RTF output formats.
    For more details, please see: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_xml/xsddoc/]
    DocFlex/XML | WSDLDoc
    A similar template set for DocFlex/XML that will implement a high-end WSDL documentation generator.
    This product is not released yet.
    DocFlex/Together
    A template-driven documentation generator for [Borland Together|http://www.borland.com/us/products/together/] (which is a UML modeling tool).
    This is the earliest application of DocFlex technology and probably the most beautiful one. It works only with Together Architect 1.x, which is now obsolete. Unfortunately, since Together 2005, Borland eliminated any open APIs (for unknown reasons). Because of this, further development of DocFlex/Together was impossible.
    DocFlex/Together home page: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_together/]
    See also examples of the UML documentation generated with it: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_together/examples/]
    The future DocFlex/UML is going to generate something like this as well.
    DocFlex/UML
    A template-driven UML documentation generator based on [Eclipse EMF|http://www.eclipse.org/emf/]. This tool is in early development stage yet. In a sense, it will continue DocFlex/Together with the focus on integration with other UML tools that use Eclipse EMF.

    Now, DocFlex/Javadoc v1.4 has been released specifically dedicated to Linux (Mac OS X) support:
    (*) Some early bugs have been fixed, which prevented it working properly under Linux.
    (*) A special RTF option was introduced to generate OpenOffice.org friendly RTF (see below)
    (*) Improved support for external document viewers.
    (*) Now, DocFlex/Javadoc software includes the shell script files prepared to quickly install and launch it under Linux
    New RTF option
    A new RTF output option "Tune output for MS Word� has been introduced. This option, actually, allows switching off that very tuning (which until now was the default mode) to produce an RTF friendly to open with other non MS Word applications, e.g. OpenOffice.org Writer under Linux.

  • JDBC  Adapter how to select multi format files on AS/400

    Hi all,
    i want to access a multi format file in a AS/400 Library via JDBC Adaptor. When i try to 'select * from XXXX.FILEN' i get an error "SQLException during query 'select * from XXXX.FILEN': java.sql.SQLException:[SQL7003]File FILEN in XXXX has more than one format.
    Does anybody knows how to access a multi format file in AS/400 via a SQL statement which i can use in the JDBC-Adaptor configuration.
    Thanks,

    also a guess, instead of "*", can you try with column names of required columns (and make multiple queries, based on qualifiers/columns for appropriate formats within the same file)

  • Multi format report using BI Analytics

    Hi,
    I would like to know if it is possible to design and build a multi format report (each format on a different page) using BI Analytics.
    For eg if i have to display a report containing performance details of a single portfolio belonging to a customer. So in terms of formats - first page may contain information like customer id, name, portfolio id,etc. There may also be some static text. Second page may contain aggregated information about the portfolio performance. And so on. Last page may have information in tabular format.
    can we have such multiiple formats in a single Analytics report ?
    Thanks
    Nusrat

    Hi,
    Is my undertsanding correct - I create a new dashboard and in that i add a new page for each section of the report.
    Thanks

  • Mixing multi formats in multi cam

    i have a multi-cam project consisting of 2 cams in dvcpro hd & 2 cams in apple prores hq 422. currently using fcp version 6.05, curious if fcp 7 allows multi-format multi-cam of this material without transcoding to one format or the other. they're both 59.97 with the same aspect ratio. i also have a ton of other footage shot in apple prores hq 422 that needs to be integrated so i'm assuming my project & sequence setting should be of the predominant codec which is apple prores. thanks.

    Nope. Multiclipping requires that ALL the footage match exactly...frame rate, frame size, codec.

    I am trying to format but its sayig "unable to format disc"

    You could try a DFU restore. Like a normal one, but connect to the USB lead then press menu & select for 12 seconds. The device should reset and then the screen should go blank.

  • PROBLEME IMPRESSION MULTI-FORMAT A4 ET A3

    Bonjour,
    Depuis la mise à jours d'acrobat 9 vers acrobat 11, l'impression en multi-format (A4 et A3 mélangés) ne fonctionne plus correctement.
    Avant avec Acrobat 9, en utilisant la fonction "Choisir la source de papier personnalisé si nécessaire" l'impression en A4 et A3 fonctionnait.
    Depuis avec Acrobat 11 la même fonction "Choisir la source de papier personnalisé si nécessaire" ne fonctionne plus : les A3 sortent décalés et tronqués.
    Ya t'il une solution de connue ?
    Merci de votre aide
    Sébastien
    REPROCOLOR31

    See if this works for your document: In Acrobat, change the Page Display setting to "Two-Up" and turn off "Show Cover Page During Two-Up". This can also be set as a document Property so others will open the PDF in the same manner.

  • Multi-Format captures

    What is the most budget friendly way to enable one to do multi-format captures.
    there are some decks out there like the JVC one that can play VHS, 8mm, Hi8 but the price tag is around $700 bucks. There is also the option off buying one of sony's digital 8 camcorders with passthrough, which would enable me to play and send to computer 8mm, hi8, and digital 8, and connect a vcr and via passthrough capture a vhs tape; this way is much cheaper.
    However, if I was to purchase a digital 8 camcorder for this purpose (though not solely) would I be esentially investing in archaic technology, and thus be wasting my money.
    What are some other options for multi-format captures--I would be capturing with imovie, and possibly avid free dv, when I decide to learn it better.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi ba15ck - Digital 8 still works well and is a sensible choice if you have lots of VHS, and other non-digital 8mm material to transfer.
    Just be aware that since iMovie 4 there has been an issue with direct pass-through. Whereas with iMovie 4 it would work without tape in the camera, later versions required a tape inserted, and recording done onto that. A workaround was to make the camera connection to the computer with the tape in the camera, then remove the tape. Someone with actual experience of this may wish to comment.
    Some people who have retained iMovie 4 use that for the import, then convert the project into an iMovie HD project for the editing.

  • Hercules DJ Console Rainbow Multi Coloured Disc Program Freezing Up

    Hi
    I recently purchased a MAC to use in conjuction with the Hercules DJ mixing console as i am a full time professional DJ. On the whole i find that the MAC meets all my needs however i am having a slight technical issues which have disrupted two of my recent gigs and caused me to revert to a cd back up system.
    What is basically happening is that whilst i am using the Hercules mixing system which is powered via USB2, within the software there is a facility to search for music which guests may request during a gig. This is in the form of a search bar and results appear on the screen, it can be used whilst using the mixing software.
    However, on both occasions, whilst searching for music requested by guests, the multi coloured disc has appeared and the software has frozen which has resulted in me having to force quit the software which is not ideal during an event.
    I have also experienced this happen with several other programs on the MAC (Even Mail).
    Has anyone experienced this or does anyone know why this is happening and a solution to the problem as i have lost a bit of confidence now in the MAC and may revert to another brand if i dont resolve the problem. Thanx in advance for any help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    Since you say this happens with mail, and other apps, it's probably not related to your Hercules system directly.
    When you run the Mac by itself, with everything else unplugged, do you get the spinning beachball much?
    You may need to run the disk utility and repair the HD and the permissions.
    It's also possible that some 3rd party SW you may have installed is causing the problem. Be sure all 3rd party SW is fully compatible with Leopard and has been tested with the latest versions.
    Check your console logs for information about this, and also run the Activity Monitor to see if something is taking up a lot of CPU ticks.

  • Photoshop Layering Bug with Multi-language discs

    I have searched and couldn't find information regarding this problem.
    I am in the process of converting projects created in DVDSP1.52 that were multi-lingual and used layered menus created in Photoshop. Projects are moved into DVDSP3.02 where the language tags for a language menu are reset so they will work properly.
    When projects are converted in DVDSP3.02, menu layers behave normally until I change the languages outside of the Simulator. As soon as this is done, the layers ALL turn on. I can reset them to their proper settings manually but the settings will not hold.
    This isn't really a problem as long as I have the disc behaving EXACTLY the way I want it to in DVDSP1.52 before translation and I don't need to overhaul some other aspect of the project that would require me to toggle the displayed languages.
    However, I forsee a point in time where I will have to work on this library further and the translated projects would be my starting point.
    Has anyone experienced these issues?
    Does upgrading to DVDSP4 resolve this bug?

  • How to open bwf files on a bwf formatted disc

    Hi
    I use Fostex CR-500 to record. I can record fine when formatting this to Audio-CD.
    These files is easily imported in Logic.
    But when I want to record in 24/44,1 I have to BWF format the disc.
    But then I can´t import the files to logic.
    When opening in finder I can see the file on the disc.
    Any solutions or should I try a Windows machine?
    with regards
    Leif

    BWF is an audio file format (Broadcast Wave File) not a disk format. For your Fostex machine to record BWF files it needs to have the CDs formatted as UDF. This UDF format is what's causing you trouble. Logic and quicktime are very happy to handle BWF files. indeed its the default recording format for Logic!
    You need to find a way of reading those CD's.
    A quick google found this software (don't know if its any good or suitable!)...
    http://www.softarch.com/us/products/rdvd.html
    more info on UDF...
    http://homepage.mac.com/wenguangwang/myhome/udf.html
    It may also be down to the Fostex not producing proper finished or finalised disks. I don't know this machine but I'd guess it would have a sort of "finalising" process you need to implement to make your CD's ready to read on computers.
    Just my thoughts!

  • Keep getting a message saying I need to format disc in F drive...

    Hi,
    I'm a computer dummy and have a Toshiba laptop Satillte A505 that has recently starting driving me crazy. For the last four days, I keep getting a message box that pops up repeatedly saying I have to format the disc in the F drive - and there is no disc in any drive. I have no idea what it is talking about.
    The boxes pps up one after the other, just seconds apart, and by the time I'm done using the laptop, I have to close 20-30 versions of the box all stacked up on one another. That's not to mention the annoying "bonking"noise it makes every time the box pops up.
    Any ideas on how to get rid of this problem?
    Thanks

    Try using System Restore to restore a previous restore point from before this became an issue.

  • Making AVCHD format discs

    Is it possible to make AVCHD format DVD discs (1920x1080/60i) using Encore?  Is there a format I can output from Premiere Pro CS5 that will allow me to make an AVCHD disc from Encore that does not require transcoding of the file in Encore?  Like if I choose H.264 1920x1080 29.97 interlace at 18Mpbs or lower?

    No it is not.  AVCHD compatible discs are blu-ray format data structures on standard DVD discs, no blu-ray burner required.  I make them all the time using Nero and Corel Movie Factory, they play on any standard Blu-Ray player, but consist of 1920x1080 files burned onto standard DVD discs.  It does not appear Encore supports this, but it is a commonly used format for HD content by hobbyists, for video contests, etc.

  • Formatting disc-journaling off

    Hello,
    After the dropped frames issue, I doubled my RAM to max out at 4Gb. Still had the problem, if not worse. I read Shane's helpful stock answer re: journaling off.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10019110&#10019110
    My question is this.
    I have a 1.5 Tb internal HD partitioned into 3 volumes. One of those volumes is a cloned backup of my System disc which occupies the other bay in my G5.
    I use the other two volumes for my editing work.
    When I erase and re-format to turn off journaling, can I do it by volume or does the entire drive need to be one way or the other?
    It seems as though the system disc clone should be journalized.
    in the partition scheme, it currently shows my bootable system clone in the top box then the other two beneath. This is best, yes?
    I hope this is clearly presented.
    thanks!

    And as for journalling - why turn it off? It's only a small amount of additional data that goes to the drive when it's being written to, plays no role during playback.
    The data integrity that it buys is worth it.

  • How do I copy a DVD -R format disc on an imac that has only one drive?

    Hi - I have a 61 minute long DVD-R single layer DVD that I want to copy in an IMAC using my apple class subsciption (so I'll do it in an apple store). Can this be done? Do I Just bring in a blank DVD -4? What kind of IMAC or other mac does this and what apple software does it use??
    (At home I have an IBOOK using leopard but the only software on this one is imovie 2008 so I don't know if this will work).
    Any help offered would be great! Lisa

    HI Steve - well I am stuck. The drive I have on the macbook I'm using at home is a combo drive and here are the stats Firmware Revision: GA0K
    Interconnect: ATAPI
    Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
    Cache: 2048 KB
    Reads DVD: Yes
    CD-Write: -R, -RW
    Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw
    Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
    So, does this mean it will not burn any kind of dvd? I bought blank dvd -R format (Fuji film made these) and when I put the blank into the combo drive it just spit it out when I got to the IMAGE BURN part of the apple instructions. Sorry to be so dumb but if my little macbook will not burn a dvd -R, if someone will tell me what kind of apple computer WILL - then I will do it in an apple class in the apple store since they have one of everything!!!
    THANKS GUYS I sure appreciate any and all help! Lisa
